      Festiva is deeply embroiled in manipulating owners at South Cape Resort in Mashpee, MA. Their goal is to manipulate and force owners to vote to get out of their contract so the town can purchase the units, tear them down and build additional affordable housing next to the units already under construction abutting the complex. Hardly any information was provided to owners, and a meeting was scheduled for discussion, and the agenda changed at the last minute. Festiva is operating essentially under the cover of night to manipulate a desired outcome. This has been written about in local newspapers. Beware.

      Festiva Resorts flat out lied to us. The ONLY reason we agreed to purchase their timeshare was because we were promised they had a buyback program if we did not like the timeshare purchase. They promised and reassured us that we could opt out at any time. When we tried to utilize the buyback program, because we did NOT like the timeshare, they made it impossible to speak with a customer service representative. When we finally talked to someone, they have stated they provide no assistance with the sale of a membership, and they have no interest in obtaining our membership, even though they have the “Right of First Refusal” in the contract. Now, because they lied to us, we are stuck with insane amounts of fees and our credit getting hit.
      We have tried to make the best of it, but have been unable to travel to any of the destinations they sold us on. The resorts, or rather hotels we have stayed at are old, dingy, filthy and lack the proper upkeep. Having spent $20,000, we have vacationed a total of 27 nights over the years with our membership. These hotels cannot fetch more than $100 per night (at best), so had we not bought this membership our accommodation expenses for these 27 nights are basically worth $2,700.
      Festiva peddles these worthless memberships with no shame and will lie to anyone at any time to secure a sale.

      Getting involved with Festiva Resorts was the worst decision regarding property we ever made! Owning this timeshare property is not a viable option. It’s definitely a financial burden that will be regretted for the life of the timeshare ownership. All sorts of fees, misinterpretation of their policies and maintenance fees that continue to increase!!!!! We were financially manipulated by this company so hopefully you read this review and make an informed decision before doing business with them. This company would have been bankrupt years ago but constantly raising maintenance fees along with special assessment fees have kept them afloat. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!

      Contacts this company and told them I needed to cancel because I could not afford it. They said "Ok, send us $9000 and we'll let you out". No empathy. No understanding. Can't relate to their clientele. Greed consumes them.

      I've had my timeshare for over 10yrs and never used its, not once. It's always booked. Now they are tell me that if I don't pay my maintenance fees my account will go into default and I will no longer have access to my time share. Over 10 yrs, upwards of $20K just gone because I couldn't pay a lil less than $1,700 in fees. This is unfair and a horrible way of handling business. How is this even legal!!
