Acapulco Tourist Traps: 20 reviews and 2 photos

I wanted to check out the Mayan Palace to see about info on renting a condo on apartment for next Christmas.One local tour operator stated that he could arrange it.plus for checking out there property he would give us two tickets to a beach club and the Bonanza cruise.When we arrive we were invited to a breakfast Buffet,and then showned around the property,we were told that they have have a program for about 400us a year you can get a one bedroom apatment for a week.We then met with "numbers"persons who started quoting prices and numbers like 30,000 us and 8,000 down.and a time period of 30 years.Yes is the old time share game!!!..Hvaing more experence in Psychology than all of them put together ,i told them i would have to show the contract to my lawyer both in the US and in Mexico.Talk about a cross shown to a vampire.The numbers lady then copped a attutude and we left only to be sent to another person who tryed to sell us on a vacation plan.I expalined to all of them at the Mayan that (1) if a offer is good it will be good tommorow(2)that any good business has not problem with you consulting with your lawyer.(3)never sign anything on the spur of the moment(4)consult the Us Chamber of Commerce of your State Attornry General for info on these types of Business.

Unique Suggestions: Do not be preasured in to signing anything!
See above on advice on dealing with these companys.

Fun Alternatives: Vacations shares Vacations rentals Time shares All the same!!!!
