It is just to bring you to them and upfront it was told that they are not sure if I will be able to avail the offer and they themselves do not appreciate it (free 2 days stay).

My Second Holiday was at Kumbhalgarh it was horrible experience. Many resorts are available now at various places and locations. 15700/-. This company working from however i am now changing my opinion and visited Goa in club mahindras resort. Hi Rayan, 3. u have monopolised a particular seller so even if he increases his charges later on u cant do anything as u have agreed for a partnership for a long period (25 years). It only wasted my time & money. Thanks for the responses. Love the place. My main aim of having a holiday is to relax. I had foregone it and escaped unhurt (realised after reading your article). it is like booking a rajdhani tkt, be ready on day 1 early morning and by the time you have keyed in the info and submit the revert will be you are in waitlist. 2. Their resorts, facilities are great, no complaints on that front. if you are not getting booking then you are waitlisted by blocking your holidays and they wont even tell you your waitlist number ( whether you are number 1 in list or no 10). I chased them, called them for 7-8 times, text ed 3 times with mail IDs but no response, no answer to my phone and finally I sent them a message that I have contacts in News Channels (which I indeed have) & suddenly in 5 minutes got a call from a lady from their office extending with number of apologies and giving excuses that they had some software issues. I have gone through all the comments but feel differently,CM holidays are mainly beneficial to families or Retd.Couple who have all the time and will to enjoy good life.I too had been lured by their agent but after two weeks of no communication,decided to write to Mr.Anand Mahindra but it was diverted to the MD,promptly got a call from the corporate office by the MD himself assuring complete refund in 24 hrs plus offered free holidays for 4 nts any where with 4000/free food vouchers.Ashtamudi holidays inducted us back to CM.Since last three years,we enjoyed at 11 resorts including Gangtak/Baiguney.Thekkady/Kodaikanal/Munnar bought from RCI.Every where it was fantastic experience,food,Activities,Rooms/Staff except these resorts are far from the city center.In BKK/PATTAYA,we got very bad experience as the hotels were far from the city and taxis were expensive and Thai food was not palatable specially for my wife being a veg.This holiday was a disaster but on our complaint to CM,immediately,they refunded our Red season days in to our account back,That is what we appreciated.One should not get dismayed by all these comments.In fact we had decided to celebrate our Golden jubilee in ooty.The Gen MGR along with other executives came to wish us with flowers and a cake and invited us for special dinner.Again celebrated my Birthday at thekkady last year,special dinner was arranged,At Gangtak,our wedding anniversary was highlighted in the Dinning hall without our knowledge with Candle lights and Songs by the staff,unforgetable moments with CM.We planned to visit Nathula pass in Gangtak,Car was arranged and special packed B`fast was given with blankets.Sorry,We have no complaints about CM. I asked club mahindra cancel & refund the money which now they saying that there is no refund policy.. Children enjoyed in the swimming pool and we have our time relaxing ourselves. 2. Mr. Bhavesh you are correct with your calculations, from your perspective club mahindra may be a good investement-however youve not noticed a few aspects of club mahindra 1) it does not have any rating such as 3* or 4* there is no service gaurantee, there is no gaurantee of us travelling to a location and on our schedule, it is not flexible, CM expects us to book atleast 3months ahead even railway tickets cannot be purchased 3months before, in many instances resorts are full either due to holiday rush or gift vouchers, im not a financial expert however id like to understand better if we view our investement this way im a red studio member my annual subscription is close to 13k p.a and expected to rise in near future and will increase over the years i definetly expect this to shoot up to 20000/- p.a in the next 5years, at this rate YOY average annual subs p.a for 25 years is around 15k which adds upto 3,75,000/- keeping in mind that to book rooms with CM we must have a time window of 3months- in the same time frame one can obtain discounted room tariffs along with travel options including flights for a range of hotels starting from 3* to 5* the advantage is that our holiday can be flexible in comparison to CM. The food is surely expensive but the spread and quality justifies that. Yeahwhen they say come and bring your cheque book with you, thats your cue right theresay thanks and wish him a good day! id strongly suggest pl create a common mail id or a excelsheet where every one can share their suggestions and well try one by one.
