Timeshare Pitches?

[Planogirl]

I'm just curious to know if anyone here has run into any high pressure sales tactics at any of the resorts? There are a few timeshare type places that I'm looking at but I don't want to be harassed while we're there. In particular, I'm looking at Hilton Bonnet Creek and Parc Soleil.

The *Hilton* Bonnet Creek is not a timeshare. The *Wyndham* Bonnet Creek is. There, a firm "no, I'm not interested in a tour" at the parking pass desk is usually sufficient. We go the extra step of unplugging the phone in our unit, but that's not strictly necessary. As long as you don't actually agree to go to a presentation, there are no worries.

The Parc Soleil is a Hilton property; my understanding is that they are even less pushy.

Oops, I am still confusing the two Bonnet Creek properties. Thanks.

That's us, too.

We love Bonnet Creek, but we unplug the phone. Anyone who needs to contact us has our cell numbers. On our visit in May, I just said no and had no problems...although I did have to say it several times.

Just be aware, though, that when you say no they will ask you to take a "survey." "Survey" is weasel-speak for "listen to my timeshare presentation," so graciously but firmly decline that too.

The resort itself is great.
