Re:Time-Share Sales
I have to agree Sandy I think that it is very intimidating especially for the first time visitor but more importantly people work hard all year to go away and then the first thing that happens when they land is these lying (but honest and hardworking) timesharks try and lure them in . It is not what people go on vacation for , not to be harrased or lied to. Its a problem that is only getting worse there are many posts about this same subject and the powers that be had better wake up!

Re:Time-Share Sales
we just returned back from pv and have a time share restaurant story. We went to las palomas in town and walked up to the maitrede
and said we would like a table for 2. he said it would be a few minutes and have a seat. He then politely came up to us asked us
where we were from and what tours we were doing. Thinking he was just being nice i answered him and told him our plans for the week. he then mentioned if we would like to do some more tours the day before we left we said no thanks. at that point he became very cold and would not give us a table. He said we were still on the waiting list ( many empty tables were now available) but it we didnt have the time to wait we were free to leaave. Which we did and went to carlos obriens and had a great time

i am sure this restaurant is a very nice place but we would never go there or recommend it to anyone.
pv was that best place i have ever been to. the local people and the honest business people are amongt the nicest we have ever
met. The time share people were mostly rude and obnoxious. I leaned that if someone nice comes up to you they are usually a time share person.

I was in town in December and did not find the Timeshark problems any more than normal. In fact I thought there was less of a problem. The secret to all of this is to tell the Shark \"I already own a time share and I am happy with it, thenk you\". You will be suprised how well it works.
