Is it not worth it like, like 30 days stay for a bit less than a lakh or is it a scam where they are looting people and are not genuine?

Most of times they will show property occupied
You’ll have to buy highest package
To get the confirm availability
And yearly charges are crap

So NOOOO

My parents bought their membership
Only paid first emi costing 15k
We didn’t go anywhere
Our 2nd emi was due
They took cheque in advance
We told agent via call that we don’t want to continue and cancel it
Even then they kept on depositing cheque and by grace of God I didn’t had money in that account so they didn’t deduct
I mailed to cc several times and escalated to highest level , didn’t receive any response even
Then complained on twitter then they cancel it

Long story in short
Stay away

No means No

I’d rather donate my money than buying this membership

Make 3 FD of 33K for 6 mth, 18 mth and 30 mth. Use the maturity value to pay for hotel when you plan any trip. As long as you use standard offers, you will still have money left in hand even after paying for the hotels. AND you will be able to visit any place you want and stay in any property you want, instead of forced to go only where their properties are available.

Bought sterling time share in 1994 for two rooms for 99 years. Its really coming in handy every year now. Hotels are nice although a little secluded. Leaving for himachal tomorrow 6am

Bought club mahindra membership 25yrs at very initial years at very low rate.
The resorts no doubt are superb and lavish with good hospitality but you need to pay for evrytg other than stay.
Now the current price is not worth at all.

Nope

“well in advance applies only for peak seasons such as Dussehra vacation, Christmas vacation, New Year’s eve etc”
For someone with school going Children, these are the only times to go for a vacation. And about 10-15 years of your life, you will be in this category. So that excludes a large part of your life. Then there will be years when the children are near the board level exam and the family would skip going on vacations for 2-3 years.
I travel regularly both for official and personal purposes. My family normally has 2-3 vacations a year, sometimes even 4. I stay mostly at star accommodations only. With proper use of offers, It is possible to get a star accommodation at 4000-7000 per night incl tax, depending upon the location. I am assuming that the 1350/night you pay is excluding tax so incl tax that works out to about 1700/night. Most Star hotels provide one meal and breakfast complimentary. Whereas here you need to pay for this, even if with 20% discount. Now if we consider the real cost of the upfront non-refundable payment made initially, the total cost of amenities, food and cost of package is not very small.
And unless going on places like beaches or secluded hills to just enjoy doing nothing, people also do a lot of sight seeing and other activities when they go to a particular place. So they spend very little time in the hotel except for sleeping at night and getting ready in the morning.

Sterling resort website is currently offering BOGO offer for many of their good properties & after discount room cost is coming at just 2-3k before Tax without meal.

Why to pay membership fees then?

It’s only good for ppl like visa2explore wale uncle ji on yt who can utilize it badly

NO
