Regency Country Club

mustbemoreorganised

I have been contacted by telephone by Central Marketing Ltd offering me a weeks stay in the Regency Country Club in Tenerife for £149 if I agree to go to a presentation whilst there. Looked on Alpha Rooms and the cost is about £1000 per week to stay there. Any one else have experience of this? I know there must be some catch.
Thanks

the catch is called pressure - and they know how to apply it - especially if you are there on a 'freebie' which they consider it is - do you have to pay for your own flights on top? That can change the £££ equation.

As far as I can remember the

One rule we have always abided by - Just Say No - but now we actually own a timeshare week with a Regency resort in Madeira - the other half didn't say No to that one - and it is very nice too.

Check out the RCI website to see the resort and look to see what the 'trading power points' are - the higher the better - dependent on week and apartment size.

have a look at https://www.regencyresorts.com/ and also

I admit it does look very nice but one drawback is that it is situated up high overlooking Los Cristianos - hence the 'panoramic views' - so lots of hillwalking to bear in mind - easy to go down but much much harder to go back up - especailly after a light ale or two!
If you do decide to go enjoy it - but there are far better places to buy timeshare.

Don't go, you will regret it, it's not the price but the high maintenance charges they will force upon you after a while so that they can continue to make money when all pitches sold out.
