I have been reading all the reviews about timeshare membership. Timeshare concept is suitable for them who take regular vacations. You have options ranging from Cheapest to the Best. After doing a proper survey, you will find that Club Mahindra is the only timeshare where you get an assurance of Quality. If you want to spend a quality time with family, without any hassles of worrying for type/services offered on holiday and ready to pay a bit extra for that premium service, go for Club Mahindra Membership. Compared to other small timeshare groups, yet it is costlier, but if you compare it with the equivalent services offered by other hotels/ Resort on one time holiday - eg. TAJ, Orange County or Club Mahindra itself you will find you are saving a lot.


After all there should be a reasonable comparison, you can not compare a tea break taken besides a local Bus stand to the evening coffee shared with your dear ones on the roof top sea view restaurant on 16th Floor of a beautiful manor.


To be more logical, As all of us know, Holiday cost is hiking day by day.


If you take a holiday in a place 4* quality and above, in a non peak season-


Daily rental-Min 4000/- Plus taxes. Addition to this you will end up paying amenities. (10.24% service tax + luxury tax + utilities)i.e Approx 25 % of basic room rate. So your per day charge comes around ( Rs 4000/- + 1000/- i.e. approx 5000/- Rs a day only towards your stay and utilities)


For 7 Days- You spend 5000 x 7= Rs 35,000/-


This rate is subject to inflation. You earn 8 % interest in FD, but rated inflation in hotel industry is 22% over last year and 16 % over last 3 years, i.e double than your interest.


At this rate if you want to take regular vacations, in 10 years you will sepend mor ethan Rs 3,50,000/- flat without considering inflation.


All above statistics are valid for off peak season and you will pay as much as Rs 8,000/- per day if you travel in Peak season to a World Class quality resort/Hotel.


When you take up a timeshare like Club Mahindra, the off peak season membership cost is Rs 1,81691/- much lesser compared to the actual holiday cost in world class properties, even including your interest earned on the same.


Had you taken this membership in Jan 05, the membership cost was Rs 1,14,000/-


Besides you have other options also.


It is called inflation free because, thought the cost has gone up, the members who registered in Jan 05, can enjoy there holidays for all the 25 years of there membership at the same cost. SO he is taking today holiday at yesterday’s cost, and tomorrow he will holiday at yesterday's cost.


Tough increases as per CPI, constitutes lesser amount than what you pay only for the utilities/taxes on your regular holiday. Refer calculations shown above.


Besides, Club Mahindra's tie up with RCI helps you to get better quality vacations abroad by just shelling an extra amount of Rs 9500/- per week. If you mange to take 5 international vacations over 25 years...Yup......you got return on your investment. Refer Club Mahindra members for the experience.


Other benefits include their fabulous Fun Dining offers available at resorts- Rs 395 /- for three meals...


Else you will spend Rs 250/- per meal for a similar Quality buffet.


Most important thing is--What you see, you get. Video clippings are available at Club Mahindra Holiday Worlds of the resorts and the staff is professional and well trained in giving proper information about Holiday destinations, unlike most of the tour operators who misguide and are very equivocal.


Booking of your holiday can be done over phone and e-mail. Across India you travel, your holiday information is accessible through Call centre.


You get the most useful information in the confirmation voucher.


About the quality of resorts, most of their built up properties are of Gold crown status and that leaves the trust behind.


I think, Club Mahindra membership is for enjoying quality vacation with a family. And if you want to avoid get worried about how much you spent and was it worth, join Club Mahindra.


Becuase only after experiencing a holiday, unlike Mr Tiwari, you will realize, if you were not a Club Mahindra Member, you wouldn’t have saved so much. Money and most imp--Time.


Refer to any Club Mahindra members who have holidays in resort. And if you are member, to book your Holidays--Call up 39880000....a dedicated line for reservations.


It’s your money, your Holidays and Your Family….So Choice is yours….Happy holidaying....
