    I was visiting a resort in treasure Island through a promotion from Bluegreen vacation. The vacation was nice until I went to the sales office where I was pressured into purchasing a vacation package, and I am still currently going through the process of canceling the timeshare.. Upon being transferred thousands of times and speaking to multiple different people over the course of the last three months has been exhausting and unethical due to blue greens negligence of following their policies. They stated it takes 21 days to get a refund yet. I have not seen that happen. Working on over 90 days now since the package has been canceled. Very disappointed with the services I have got. I’m going to start leaving daily reviews of how disappointed I am with Bluegreen vacation until I receive my refund as well as compensation for the long wait time to receive the refund! I hope whoever sees this can escalate my concerns to higher-ups of how exhausting and stressful this process has been! Blue green vacation sucks. Do not ever get a vacation package from them.! I said what I said. Better to save your money than to pay yearly maintenance fees when that can be a cost of a vacation itself!

    If I could give zero stars I would. The only saving element is that it’s on St Pete Beach. We got in once a couple years ago and there was LOUD construction above our room every day. I am not exaggerating when I say it felt like they were dropping cars on top of us. Their excuse was that things were going to be so much better the next time. The most recent trip plans for 2026, they cancelled our reservation abruptly with no information in the notification. The cancellation was due to MORE construction. They had a little excuse because of the hurricanes. Yet, we went to St Pete and stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn the year before. Most businesses were open except for them and the Don Cesar. A YEAR LATER and they still aren’t done and can’t give an estimated completion date. Something is shady(er) since Hilton bought them. By the time we got notice of the cancellation, there were no good properties in Florida or other warm winter Bluegreen properties left. There was no offered resolution or remorse for our inconvenience. They totally scammed my 75-year-old mother! It’s not just Florida. We went to Bluegreen’s property this week, near Shenandoah National Park to stay in a yurt which is what we hoped would be a great glamping experience. CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NEXT TO US. The resort had multiple other empty options but they put us there. We could not even carry our luggage in without me and my 84-year-old Dad stepping over obstacles. RUN if Bluegreen approaches you. RUN. Tell your friends and family too!

    I set up A vacation through Booksi/monster in August 2024.I was supposed to be staying at the courtyard by Marriott Clearwater Beach. I tried to schedule for this vacation for over a year! Then they told me that the courtyard was no longer an option and that I had to go to a timeshare presentation or I would not get this vacation. So I went to a very nice location here in Kissimmee of course I had to pay the resort fees and taxes and listen to a 2 hour sales presentation. I explained the situation to the people in Kissimmee because I felt like I was taking advantage of which I was as I have a special-needs daughter and told them I could only go within three hours of Orlando and they kept trying to ship me other places telling me there was no place close here to the beach that I could go to that had any rooms. So a manager told me he would take care of it to wait till after September to book when it slowed down the next time I called he was no longer with the company or available they said so I booked at the Tradewinds in Tampa Saint Pete area, which is also a blue green resorts timeshare location. They told me I would not have to go to the timeshare presentation as part of the agreement cause I had already been to one in Kissimmee. I made the reservation three weeks in advance gave them my credit card information. They confirmed my reservation and then five days later they call me and tell me the resort is going to be closed. Monster is a huge scam. They promise you things that they cannot deliver because they’re not gonna be on site and they’re the booking company for these other timeshares. The other timeshare company told me they have trouble with Monster all the time promising things that the timeshare companies can’t deliver, but have to apologize for because of Monster. That is the perfect name for this company because they are monster liars. They make monster promises they can’t keep! Beware and contact your attorney! I think we need a Monster sized class action lawsuit for damages, fraud and failure to perform.
