Was it actually the hotel that called you? How did they get your details? Are they any conditions attached, such as you have to eat in their restaurants?

Are there timeshare apartments attached to the resort?

Friends went last year on the same deal. It is timeshare but they said they went to the presentation which lasted about a couple of hours ( you decided when) and that was it no more hassle they said it was probably one of the best deasl they have ever had. Phone back and say you will tke it if they throw in BB, Thats what friends did and got it. Also make sure your in the hotel block. Go and have fun

As saveapenny says it is some form of timeshare ... as long as you can cope with the 2 hours sell, you'll be ok ...

I got offered this deal too last year and almost jumped at it!! The pictures of the resorts are gorgeous too.

Just checked your webpage and yep it was with them too....

sorry can't help you further, we didn't take it up (would like to now though)

And yes I remember they pick you up from the airport too in a limo if my memory serves me...... Good Luck hope it's a lovely hol for you.

Mixed reviews on Tripadvisor (some very positive) ... seems like this offer is very popular!

Might try and get an 'invite' myself!

thanks for all replies but we decided to decline:mad:

it was costing about £370-£400 for flights then there's car parking at airports etc - plus the £100 and spending money would be about £800-£1000

and i'd rather spend that going to my most favourite place = puerto pollensa

spoketo a few folk to and they saidthat Malta was a dump and I'm not the kinda personto stay in a hotel allweek so I would haveliked to have seen the place but nah i'llgive it a miss thanks folks tho:cool:
