Pam's pictures are identical to what we saw when we took the tour on March 3. Don't know what day they were taken on, but they are surely indicative of the lack of progress in the building project. I do hope that things work out so that the posters who bought aren't victims. In reading the almost 100 posts here on the board, there are so many conflicting statements given by the salespeople. For instance, our salesman, a guy from New Jersey named Eric, I believe, said that you could not sell for them if you had ever sold timeshares before. And obviously, the sales force includes at least one former Mayan Palace salesperson. We were told you would be put up at the Grand Velas Vallarta next year if the unit was not ready...(even if it did happen, wonder who would pay the all inclusive). There was another resort they mentioned which would accomodate people during the building stage, but I can't remember the name right now. I wish I had taken notes, as prior to the visit, did not know this was such a hot topic on TUG. At the other timeshare tour we took, we met a couple from Peru who had purchased last year at Belaire and were on their way over to check the building progress. They had paid over $3,000 for a certain number of weeks and had already had several indications that things were not as presented. They saw right through the "Star Holiday" presentation we were on so I wondered what was said to them at Belaire to make them purchase last year as they certainly presented as astute consumers. I can't wait to return to PV next year just to see what has become of the resort and with the hope that it is not the total sham it appears to be.
the former Mayan Palace tranier 
Marcos still aboard. 
refute "Article 5.2 “ so it appears he trys to dodge that FACT.
