    It's not timeshare.

    It's not free - you have to pay for meals, excursions, etc And the hotels are likely to be located where you can't easily go out for a cheaper meal. That's where their hotels cover their costs, and the excursions their own costs.

    And I've seen reports they are not overly efficient about bookings.

    But I don't think it's a total scam - may well work out as poor value for money though.
  • I also had an email last night from this company, i thought it was a scam so deleted it!

    Theres a bit of info on the internent about this company but my biggest concern was the first thing they wanted was bank details and they are NOT ABTA or ATOL protected companies!

    However there are people who talk of there holidays with theses offers too!

    Im still cautious !

    Any links, mate, to people who have actually had a holiday without buying all the "add-ons"? Thanks
