ByDo You Have Silverleaf Resort Complaints?
Many people enjoy relaxing at the same resort vacation home every year, so they choose a timeshare, which offers some benefits of a vacation home, but comes with its own set of problems. You may have heard of timeshare resort chains, but did you know that there have been filed by consumers? You may have specific complaints, such as bed bugs or noisy neighbors. Or you may have concerns about the financial structure of Silverleaf.
Silverleaf started as a private company in Texas in 1981, offering comfortable resorts at family-friendly destinations. Over the years, they became a multi-million dollar resort located in several states across the U.S. In 2015, Orange Lake Resorts, which also owns Holiday Inn Club Vacations, acquired Silverleaf. From that point, Silverleaf timeshare owners began to complain of changes in the terms of their agreements, additional fees, and generally poor customer service.
Currently, the Better Business Bureau gives it one star out of five. Signing up for a timeshare is simple, but dealing with the issues that may arise can be extremely frustrating. You expected your vacation time at Silverleaf to be relaxing and enjoyable, but it's not. Let relieve your frustration and anxiety from Silverleaf Resort complaints.
What Is a Timeshare?
A timeshare is a type of vacation property with a shared ownership model. People own a share in the property or have the right to use it during specific times of the year. In many cases, timeshares are smaller units within a larger resort property.
Common Silverleaf Resort Complaints
Most vacation accommodations, whether Motel 6, Choice, or Hilton, have a few unhappy customers. As with all resorts, Silverleaf is the subject of a wide variety of complaints. However, many fall into certain categories.
Not as Described or Advertised
People reasonably expect a clean, safe, well-maintained place. Instead, they may experience sanitation issues, such as dirty pools. There are reports of rooms that are shabby, in need of repairs, and poorly maintained. People also complained of safety and security issues, as well as accessibility problems and other violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Their complaints are often met with discourteous and ineffective customer service.
Misleading Financial Aspects
Customers report that the sales representatives used extreme high-pressure sales tactics to get them to sign. Many stated that salespeople lied or misrepresented the facts. For example, customers reported hidden fees or unexpected fees, some of which continue even if the condo is paid off.
