Sunset Hotels
This company refuses to acknowledge our consumer rights to cancel as stated in their contract

When in cancun at the end of February a friend of mine and I signed a timeshare contract with Sunset Hotels. After consideration of the cost and talking with a few other people who had visited the resort that day we decided the "deal" was not a good deal. So we return two days later to the resort to cancel the contract, which is allowed per the contract.

We were quickly taken into an office right off the beach and told we signed a document saying we could not cancel within 5 days. I asked Manuel Novelo to produce that document. He was gone for a while then returned saying he could not find the document. I told him he would have to produce the document or accept our letters of cancellation.

He said he would take them and give them to the legal office. He never offered us a form, letterhead or signed the document. We were given a pad of paper and my friend and I both wrote cancellation letters and asked them to give us a copy.

I wish now we would have asked for this signature, but after the difficulty we had in getting just a piece of paper to write on, I wanted to get out of there. I returned home within a few days and sent an e-mail to ensure they had received and recognized our cancellations.

This e-mail was also sent within 5 days of the contract. They have failed to recognize the cancellations and they failed to refund the money to my credit cards within 15 days per Mexico Laws. They are now not even answering my e-mails even though their legal office finally admitted the office I described by the ocean (with pictures of race cars and a women with a child) is there.

However, they said they don't have a video tape to prove we were there, only a video of us signing the contract. They even offered to release us from one of the contracts, but want to hold us to the other one. Here are the names of the two people I have e-mailed so far, but I can't find the name of the developer. Oscar Mario Zepeda [email protected]. Mx and Delia Martinez Customer Service Sunset Group
