Me, my husband & few of our friends are lover of holdays making, we used to go to 2 to 3 time a year . We carefully chose the hot destinations. As a impact of enhusiatic advertisement & marketing of club mahindra we became trapped. &all of us become member of it, we chosen red studio apartment according to our requirement, &now we was thinking that all burden of reservation, would be go on club mahindra & we will experience happiest family holidays.
But now we are finding all burden became multiplied, they have more then one lakh members, still rooms available with club mahindra are less then 1000, still they are providing rooms to non members, foreigners
Definatively members become beggers for booking, after paying huge amount as a member ship fees.
Initially it was conveyed to us that they have more then 400 properties, but now I found they have only 13 own properties, few properties are not belong to them they are just associate properties. Still over all they have only 24 properties. I think it is hight of cheating.
Initially I was thinking cost of accommodation become cheap but it was not actual, I had paid 3.5 lakh as a membership fees the interest of this amount become around 35 thousand in a year, still it is not a end of story they are charging AMC which are around 8 thousand in a year, further AMC increases every year. Means I am paying around 6000/-per night for accommodation. Still I will not get back my amount 3.5 lakh back after finishing term(25 year)
Now about properties they are claiming Goa resort are one of the finest property in India & best of club mahindra. That is right it is best of club mahindra, but many other resorts even in goa are much-2 better then this & quite cheaper & providing much more facility as a complementary then this. Previously when we was not of members of club mahindra we was getting booking in just one click, & good discounts, facilities like pick-up, food etc in other resorts with quite a easy manner.now every thing become cumbersome we have to try booking in club in quite advance like 6 month before.
Still we used to get waiting no, then we have to call again & again for confirmation & most of time up to last we remained spared of booking & spoil our happiest holidays
