    My husband and I have been owners since 2011. We bought in with minimal points and over time gradually moved up to Diamond. We got in when points were much less expensive which enabled us to continue to buy more cheaply. We weren’t always offered the cheaper rate, however, during our “owner updates”. We held out for managers who would work with us every time that we bought. Not that we were so smart about how this worked. We just knew what we paid previously and weren’t willing to pay much more because it wasn’t worth it to us. That doesn’t mean that people starting out now aren’t getting a good deal. Buy in for the points you can afford, and over time continue to buy more points at what will become lower rates than most other people.

    We are very happy with our ownership and feel like we get great value. We could not be more pleased that we decided to buy a timeshare particularly with Bluegreen. We’ve gone places we never would have and enjoyed a level of accommodation we never could have. We’ve been able to share with friends and family, which is really nice. My recommendation is to buy carefully and make sure that you can afford to pay in cash. If you can’t afford it in cash, wait until you can. Or get a good loan from someone other than Bluegreen (their loan interest rates will leave you in the poor house). Then enjoy yourself!! Best of luck and happy ownership!

    They got my husband outside a BassPro and so we trekked to New Hampshire for our “free” stay at a nearby hotel in Plymouth, NH. After reading reviews of some experiences with the timeshare presentations, I was anxious and absolutely dreading it as I have no interest/need to buy one. The Lincoln, NH property is nice. If you’re a skier and love winter, check it out. Otherwise, not much around. At all. And in April, much of their local business are closed for the mud season. Our fault for not looking into to more.

    What I really want to highlight is how low-pressure the timeshare presentation was. My anxiety and dread was completely unfounded. Everyone at the Blue Green property was friendly and welcoming. The presentation itself was corny but fast. The presenter was great. Our salesperson was great and so was her boss. Understanding and honestly, just doing their jobs and doing them well. They said a 2-hour presentation and we were out with our $150 gift card in 2 hours and 5 minutes. Just wanted to share my experience here in case anyone else is as scared as I was :) I wouldn’t recommend a “free” trip to sit through this but if you get sucked into one, it wasn’t the end of the world.

      My wife and I have always heard nightmare stories about time share presentations. But today we had an amazing experience. I would go as far to say that I enjoyed it! They let us know right away it's not high pressure and it was not at all. If we were in a bit better financial situations we would of bought,,, Maybe in the future. I could not believe how professional they were. They are commission based but the young man that did our sit down talk was sooo nice even after he found out we were not able to buy. He even walked us to our car outside and shook out hand. I think his name was devin, 26 years old. Big shout out to you. I would go again!

      The package was worth it. Great presentation, no pressure to buy. Excellent accommodation. Thinking about actually purchasing a membership in the near future. Recommend starting with an entry level membership and work your way up as you see fit.

      This is my second review - my first being this month - “Bluegreen not being responsible.” We have been Bluegreen Owners for 10 years and because of our ownership we have traveled approximately twice a year. Always with nice accommodations. We probably would not have done this if we hadn’t become owners. This year we made reservations in May and a week before we were to arrive in September Bluegreen cancelled our reservation with little explanation. We were upset as non-refundable plane tickets were bought. However, they came through for us and made reservations with another company. We are set to fly out tomorrow —— a big thanks to Bluegreen and their employees. We are very pleased with our ownership!

      This is the biggest scam. The have all their properties on Priceline and Expedia and we get stuck with THOUSANDS in maintenance fees and can't book reservations. DO NOT ENTERTAIN THEM. LIES, SCAMS, FRAUD. Busted pools and playgrounds under construction for YEARS. SUCH a waste of money. We have 30k points we can't use. I've used Expedia the last few trips I've taken and been much happier. We're hiring a lawyer and suing. RUN.

      Our encounter with Bluegreen Timeshares, initiated by a mall representative promising a free trip to South Carolina in 2015, quickly soured into a three-hour high-pressure sales pitch led by Patricia **. Despite our initial reluctance, we succumbed to purchasing a timeshare with the Hotel Blake plan, enticed by promises of luxury vacations and investment returns. However, the reality was starkly different: undisclosed perpetual contract terms, unmanageable maintenance fees, and booking difficulties that rendered our purchased points insufficient for even a single vacation. Subsequent investments in more points failed to alleviate our issues, leaving us feeling deceived and financially burdened. This experience has proven Bluegreen Timeshares to be far from the promised dream, instead a regretful and unsustainable commitment that we now seek to terminate immediately.

      I have found Bluegreen Resorts is very disrespectful to their owners. Desiring a firsthand experience of the resort, I purposely sought out an opportunity to go to Myrtle Beach, SC. Once I arrived, they attempted to coerce me into purchasing more points to enhance our vacation experiences. It became apparent that additional points were necessary for the vacations I envisioned and the ones that were promised to us. Moreover, they suggested loan refinancing via a personal loan for better rates and assured us of a buyback option if I no longer desired the timeshare, which turned out to be false. They assured me that they were not in the business of damaging people's credit, which is undeniably untrue.

      They also proposed passing the timeshare to my children, it was never made clear that our children would obtain this timeshare in the event of our passing. I NEVER would have signed anything if I knew that our children would be burdened with rising maintenance fees and other hidden costs associated with this timeshare. I am angry the way Bluegreen salespeople pushed me into purchasing it. I want out of this nightmare, but they are giving us the run around. I am fearful I might need to reach out to state and federal consumer protection agencies. This just isn’t right!

      We first became aware of Bluegreen Vacations while shopping at a Cabela’s in Dundee, Michigan. While walking around the store we were approached by a representative who offered us a “free” 2-night stay in exchange for our attendance at a timeshare presentation that wouldn’t take more than an hour of our time. We declined his offer, but the man was persistent and wouldn’t take no for an answer. After several attempts we finally relented to his advances and agreed. It started out with a man telling us that Bluegreen Vacations would allow us to take family vacations to any location where Bluegreen was present. We were assured that the Bluegreen meeting wouldn’t take longer than an hour, but over the course of the day we spent five hours with their salesman. We declined his offer and gestured to leave. Unfortunately, the whole ordeal was just beginning. Every time they offered a package, we declined.

      We ended up declining 4 different times. This process repeated itself three separate times until we finally relented to the pressure and agreed to sign. Later, after we signed the contract, we came to find out that he failed to mention that our maintenance fees would increase on a yearly basis. He also never mentioned the total interest percentage. Both facts would’ve deterred us from signing, also because we’re going through the process of adopting a second child and the prospect of a vacation sounded wonderful.

      We have spent nearly $35,000 in monthly payments and maintenance fees and have only taken 2 trips. We have upgraded our contract two additional times because we were told that it was the only way we could take the kinds of trips we were interested in taking. Despite our upgrades though, we still struggle to find availability. The amount we have paid for what we have received is absolutely unacceptable and is a far cry from what we were promised during the multiple meetings we have been forced to sit through.
