DO NOT GET FOOLED ! We listened to biggest line of bull by the craftiest, most sincere sounding sales people to get us to purchase. Oh what a fool I feel like now. We were on our honeymoon in Playa and went to the resort and believed the line of crap that was told to us. Yes you can have... more

I need to respond to the negative reviews about Sunset Fishermen Spa and Resort by some of the new and old owners that have recently been posted. Most of the negative reviews are about the salesmen not about the resort itself or they have been written by people who do not understand the timeshare industry. We enjoyed our stay at... more

If its any consolation we were duped as well. I consider this my "dirty little secret" since I am so embarrassed to have been so stupid. Having said that we love the resort, and have stayed there many times. Love the location and the size and we are treated well there. Am wondering if that will change now that we... more

Time Share Lies, Fraud and Deception: Since our story is similar to hundreds of others that can be found on the internet, I will try to be brief. While on vacation celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary with our 2 young children; we were approached upon our arrival at the airport in Cancun and offered free attraction tickets in return for... more

We own 3 Platinum, 2 BR weeks. We traded in a 4th week in a deal to buy into the new Trés Rios resort. We love watching the progress of the construction at Trés Rios (opening scheduled for Nov. or Dec. I believe). We bought in because of the GREAT accommodations, treatment, staff, cleanliness, beach.and overall ambiance. As with any... more

Us: We're pretty seasoned travelers (Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, India, Australia, NZ, FIji Central America etc). Usually backpacking, but recently brought it up a level for our honeymoon. Sunset Fishermans: Were stopped in the airport by people flogging 'tours' of Sunset Fishermans Resort. Knew it was a scam of sorts, but listened to the schtick, and figured we could use the... more

One of the wonderful things about TA is that everyone can express their personal preferences. It can be confusing when some posters just can't tolerate or respect the opinions or preferences of others, or feel that their view is the only correct one. We travel a few times each year, and try to post a review after each trip. I... more

My family and I have just returned from the most relaxing, breathtaking, holiday we have ever had. The place we stayed was "sunset Fisherman Resort., and it can only be described as Paradise. We have two children aged 7 & 8, and I would recommend this resort to anyone with young children. It is so safe. The beach is about... more

First, upon arrival when all you really want is a shower, you are made to stay in the lobby for 10 minutes, then you are shown to a dining area where you wait another 20. Then, immediately, comes the sales pitch...upgrade to this or buy that. You MUST have the meal plan...anything they can sell you. The meal plan is... more

I took my family and a sister in law to the resort on June 28th and we stayed for a week. We had bought a week during the previous November and when I came home I read all the horror stories that have been spread by five or six people on several web sites. Despite pre trip misgivings, I am... more
