Dont go for Club Mahindra Membership

This is regarding the club mahindra membership. First thing no doubt there hotels are good, hospitality is also good. And the entertainment activities organized in the hotels for the guest are very good. But being a member of club mahindra is a great suffering after spending a lot of money you will not get the desired destination at the desired time u have to plan 6 months in advance with confirm dates and I dont think that we indians are used to such kind to timetable.


Now what they have to say when offering you a membership. They give RCI membership complimentary which is of no use for middle class families. There you did not get booking in the good rated hotels and also u have to desposite your week of holidays in advance+ a transaction fees for making a booking. they if cancelled then very high penalty .


One more thing you can not split your week and if you dont want to stay there for more that 2or 3 days then also u have pay for whole week. And also they did not got there resorts in time share where you can stay for a week like mauritius, maldiview etc . Place where you can stay and have fun whole week. The thing is like this that if u book through RCI then you have to surrender whole your week whether you stay at the property one night or six nights that does not matter charge is same.


Now about studio apartment they first sale studio apartment with blue of white season according to the pocket of the customer then when visiting there resorts in off season they give some good proposals for upgradation of your season so that u can make the booking for the time you want that is season time like summer holidays and winter holidays. But next time when you are willing to make a holiday then you come to know that still you did not get the desired holiday destination on the desired time because they did not get many studio apartments as compared to membership they sale.


Now when you will go to any of the resorts in the off season then they will  explain you very good plan in emi's because they did not get many studio appartments and you can have the desired booking in the desired time.


But the reality is that these people sale membership and invest there money in buying new property. And for regular income they leave some percentage of rooms for RCI membership for there certification and regular income and then they leave some percentage of rooms for public rentals that is member s who have given them money in advance will not get the room if they try 15 days before and being ordinary person you  pay them and can get the room only a week before. Now what is left will be offered to there so called priority members of club mahindra . now if you have taken red season they also you will not get the desired booking. These people assure you that if you are a member of red season one bed room apartment then you will get the booking 15 days before only but this is also not true . You have to book online six months in advance then also you have no gurantee for the desired destination at desired period. SO THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS THAT GO FOR THERE HOTELS BUT DONT EVEN DREAM OF GETTING THERE MEMBERSHIP .


ADVANTAGE OF NOT TAKING THERE MEMBERSHIP;


you can plan 15 days before and get there hospitality. now about the finacial aspect you spend about 500000 lacs in there membership and also pay annual mentainance fees which keeps on increasing every year. the bank interest rate in 10% so if u deposite the amount in bank u get Rs 50000 per year for spending on your holiday through which you can go to those places also where club mahindra does not operate. More over club mahindra did not provide free food or traveling expences that is in other places also you have to pay for food and traveeling. So spending money on there membership is only useful to club mahindra not its members.


AND STILL ANYBODY LOVES TO HAVE THERE MEMBERSHIP WE PRAY TO GOD FOR HIS SUFFERING AFTER THAT.
