Bluegreen Vacations 204 West Saint Julian Street, Savannah, GA 31401

"June 29,2023 - Savannah, GA - sales presentation for points based time share. Savannah, GA - BlueGreen vacations (time share) company and Cambria is in their network of discounted hotels. Our presentation was on the 2nd day in the morning at a center close to their resort & model apartment downtown. The staff for BlueGreen vacations Savannah are very nice and good at what they do. The presentation was painless and informative but buyer beware. Here’s the breakdown of what they want to sell you. Not a bad points based time share program if you have lots of expendable income and time to use what they are selling. They paint a really pretty picture of vacation options. They want to get you to buy a piece of their properties by buying a basic point package starting at 8,000 point per year. The going rate for this package starts at 19,000 (paid in full or financed) $1200 per year of maintenance fees. This will take about 4-8 years to pay off. They also offer DISCOUNTS on their thousands of sister hotels, cruises, resorts, charters, campgrounds and more. You still pay for food, drinks, and air travel. This is the long and short of it without the pretty pictures and the sales pitch. If you say “NO” to any of the above they will start offering you “Bonus” Deals. *BEWARE* they discounted the 8,000 point package (about 2-4 vacations) from 19,000 down to around 14,000 but offered it by saying , “would you say yes to only $100 per month”. PLUS a voucher for your DREAM VACATION PLUS another voucher for airfare anywhere PLUS, blah, blah blah! Our answer to ALL OF THE ABOVE always “NO” the manager/closer looked at me and my husband and said, “Okay, there’s no point in going any further” shook our hands and walked away in a bit of a snit” Got our Visa card REFUND. 2 hrs 15 min. We have a hard and fast RULE and we never waiver from this, “Never make a large financial decision based on a 2 hr sales pitch especially if it’s the first time you’ve ever heard of something” NEVER! - they get 2 ⭐️ ⭐️ because the staff was respectful"

"As far as sales pitches go don’t think of it as such. Think of Bluegreen Vacations as an investment in your family memories. My wife and I with our 2 kids came to Savannah Georgia because we bought a 2 day stay in Bluegreen 2 years prior at a Bass Pro Shops. We chose Savannah for the history and the adventure. We were not let down, it was a beautiful stay. Our 2 hour presentation with Bluegreen was not painful, we did not go in with a we are purchasing attitude. Forgive me for not remembering names but the presentation was exactly what one would expect but it was also educational. We bought into it but sadly did not qualify at this time. God said not today. As a family we are entering our busy time with Thanksgiving donations and helping to feed local families through the holidays. An added payment would have been an added stress but in our opinion worth the investment. We appreciated everyone’s time, the facility is very clean and the actual vacation resort was beautiful. Friendly faces eager to help. We look forward to becoming part of the Bluegreen family in the future and will encourage others to do so as well. Highly recommended"

"Never Ever ..go to this place. Such an horrible experience for one-minute late. Their vacation packages comes with must and do attend presentation/idealogy session on their provided timings..no chance to postpone or cancel..Even guest had an accident you have to attend their so called presentation or else you have to pay all the retail price of your stay.. I took package for 150$ and late for one-minute to their presentation..and now their folks had no other appointment or session to attend. So know their are asking me to pay full price of the stay which 500$ I had met with accident and drive all night for having a peaceful time ..now their policies and agreements ruin ur day and time.. Never trust this company. I don't want to blame staff..their respectful and good with their terms.."

"We bought this time share through a Blue Green presenter at a Bass Pro Shop for $150. We could pick anywhere to go in the US for these 3 nights. We chose Savannah, GA. We were put in the Hampton Inn and Suites that was super nice and friendly. We did have to pay an additional $150 for parking fees and taxes—which we knew we would be responsible for paying from the sales rep at Bass Pro Shop. We scheduled our contracted 90 minute presentation for the first morning of our vacation at 9am. Upon arriving to the Blue Green office we had to sign a contract and was then greeted by Brett our sales person. He was overly friendly and working hard to make that sale from minute one which was a major turn off in the whole situation. He took us to a small table telling us his life story. Next he took us to the 3rd floor to a small room where a very overdressed older man gave a long presentation that bored me to tears. Among his presentation he boosted how people like us help him pay for his lavish vacations he takes and flaunting his $600 restaurant receipt from the night before. Time at this point-11am. (2 hours into a 90 minute presentation). We were never taken back to the second floor where Brett and a financial advisor sat down with us to explain why we should purchase this vacation package (which was the cheapest one) at $700 a month!! They asked-Sooo Mrs what do you think? I know I took everyone at the table by surprise when I said...NO-this sounds awful and we cannot afford this and will NOT be purchasing. The meeting turned sour at this point and both Brett and the financial advisor started being rude and condescending to me. Apparently they are not used to a woman standing up to them and there tactics. They kept directing questions and comments to my husband at this point avoiding me like the plague. I asked at one point...Was the contract we signed for a 90 minute sales presentation not correct? They both said...yes ma’am 90 minutes is correct. i said....well it’s been 2 hours and 15 minutes and I have lunch reservations. We were told at this point we could not leave as we have to tour the facility and numbers have to be shown to us before we could leave. We were taken to Ellis Square for a tour of the condos. As soon as we entered the door I noticed the awful odor, uncleanliness, and slow elevator. I thought to myself...who would pay $700 a month for this?!? I would very upset if I’m paying all this money and the property is not being maintained and cleaned properly. We walked back to the sales office AGAIN. I said again to Brett that we have a 12 o’clock lunch reservation. He said to me that I should cancel it as this is more important. At this point Blue Green was putting my health in jeopardy as I was getting lightheaded and dizzy from not eating. At 11:45 my husband finally stood up and thanked the gentlemen for there time but we had to leave. Again they did not want us to leave but we went ahead and started walking. They came to us with our $50 gift card to sign for that was promised in our original presentation at Bass Pro shop and finally left. If you do agree to do this presentation please ask your sales rep how long the presentation is and when it starts that way you can set an alarm on your phone for the exact time and can leave as you have signed a contract advising you only have to sit through a 90 minute sales presentation. I would not recommend this avenue for taking a vacation."
