I've never used them before Thomas, so I can't say whether they are good or bad. I think your best bet though would be to ask on Trip Advisor as I'm sure someone on there will have heard of them. This is the first time I've seen the name on here so I'm not sure anyone on here has used them, however, someone may post and prove me wrong!

Timeshare....... Hollywood Mirage, Palm Beach, Beverley Hills Club. I would steer well clear.

Hi Thomas, never heard of them, but curiosity, did they phone you offering you a eighty percent discount, the initial price of the holiday being something absolutely stupid but with the discount becomes something worth thinking about...

You didn't by any chance fill in a questionnaire at TFS for a tourist office rep ??
We did a couple of years ago and got phone call from Silverpoint a couple of weeks after we got home thanking us for filling in their questionnaire and offering us a timeshare opportunity.
We told them exactly where they could stick their offer.

Exactly what we done in June, thought it was a genuine survey, it's done on the secure side of the airport so you ain't expecting timeshare touts in a secure area...

Thanks guys I got a email asking if I had any plans to visit Tenerife over the festive period, I emailed back dates with a contact number in uk, however I work offshore and my wife has been pestered every day since I have been away with different deals from there call centre. To be honest I wish I hadn't bothered replying, will be giving it a wide berth, once again thanks for your input

I've given you a temporary avatar Thomas. You can change it if you don't like it.

What you do there mate is when they call just lay the phone down with them still connected, say nothing, check on it every few minutes to see if they've hung up...
I done it every time I got a cold-call, very rare I ever get one these days, don't know if company's share data on no hopers and know they're wasting their time...

What if he don't like his job and is just doing it for the money...
