That should tell you something .... they are trying to sell you a holiday club .... just not worth it .... if you are interested in timeshare ... you can pick up a 2nd hand cheap .... Spain / Canaries has far to many & people can not sell them or even give them away cause of the maintenance fees .,....

My wife and I are attending a presentation in a few weeks time.
We had a similar experience a few years ago (but please don't tell Lifestyle!) and got three free holidays (accommodation only) which we quite enjoyed. We are hoping that this company's deal will be similar.
What happened was, we got our ears bent for a couple of hours at the presentation and again for about an hour at each holiday. We nodded attentively at appropriate moments and made plausible excuses as why we wouldn't sign up at the present time.
The holiday venues were good quality self catering (mainly) places in Europe and the UK.
We had to pay our travel and food costs. At one place the accommodation was tiny, so, like everyone else, we upgraded without demur.
They will probably try to sell something a bit like timeshare, with the possibility of selling your share later. We quite liked the deal, apart from the price. On return, we researched on Google and found that some people were, indeed, selling their shares. For about half the full price!
If you can trust yourself not to sign anything, and can spare the time, go along for the experience. Just be careful not to commit yourself to anything you might regret.

We're going.

Hi all. Went to the presentation on Saturday. It started at 11:30 (half an hour late because they had sent the wrong directions with out invitations so they waited for everyone to turn up before they started), and I was out of there by 12:10.

I've now got £599 to spend on accomodation. Prices for Europe start at £199 for the week, so that's up to 3 weeks I've got within Europe, or a REALLY nice week in America or somewhere else further abroad.

I would recommend it if you can maintain a "I'm not buying anything" attitude the whole way through!

I've got one too, someone called Samantha from Essex wants my partner and I to go to a presentation in Sale, Manchester on 3rd October. I'm pretty sceptical too as I've been on their website but can't access anything on it without a username and password.
Incidentally I asked for these while on the phone (I had my laptop out straight away and typed in the company name as soon as it was mentioned) but she came up with something about not being able to issue info until she'd seen our identification at the presentation.
It's not exactly up the road for me and I'm heavily pregnant but I'm still tempted to be honest. After all, she assured me there was nothing to upgrade to, they would not ask for any administration fees to 'confirm the booking' (I've heard that one before) and let's face it, everyone loves a free holiday!
If I do decide to go I'll post what I find out when I return........;)
