CLUB
MAHINDRA
HOLIDAYS:
Please
read
it
before
you
purchase
any
membership
plan
One
of
the
worst
experience
honestly,
I
would
suggest
you
plan
your
holidays
by
own
with
your
own
flexibility
and
convenience
.
Reasons
why
I
am
suggesting
you
to
DON'T
go
for
Club
Mahindra:
1.
They
have
different
season's
defined,
Red,
Purple,
White
and
Blue.
Each
season
having
different
date
range,
people
like
me
will
go
for
the
lowest
season
because
even
the
lowest
season
itself
is
too
expensive
around
2.76
lakh.
Now
if
you
are
in
blue
season
you
can
use
your
holidays
only
during
the
month
of
February
(first
2
weeks),
July
and
September,
all
three
months
are
off
season.
If
you
have
kids
mostly
there
will
be
exams
season
during
these
periods.
So
completely
useless.
2.
ASF
(Annual
Subscription
Fees):
Now
this
is
very
interesting,
it
doesn't
matter
whether
you
use
your
holidays
or
you
dont,
you
will
have
to
pay
this
ASF
otherwise
your
membership
will
be
discontinued.
The
ASF
amount
is
around
14000
Rs.
for
Blue
membership
not
sure
about
other.
This
14000,
will
keep
increasing
every
year
and
you
have
to
pay
that
every
year
until
25
years
of
your
membership.
3.
You
are
paying
the
whole
2.76
lakh
(Blue
membership)
+
Annual
ASF
+
Taxes
(28%
GST)
ONLY
for
your
STAY.
For
rest
of
the
things
like
Food,
Travel,
any
activity
in
the
resort,
you
will
have
to
pay
separately
with
28%
GST
amount.
4.
Rooms
availability:
Most
of
the
time
you
will
see
WL
(waiting)
at
any
resort.
In
order
to
avail
a
room
you
will
need
to
book
it
3-4
months
in
advance.
And
if
you
wish
to
cancel
your
holidays
or
change
your
dates
they
will
charge
you
the
cancellation
amount
of
1750
Rs.
(if
you
are
cancelling
it
in
45
days
from
the
holidays
date)
5.
Site-seeing:
Nobody
wants
to
stay
only
in
resort,
as
most
of
the
resorts
are
located
5-10
km
away
from
the
main
city.
So
no
local
shopping,
no
time
to
explore
the
city.
If
you
think
you
can
hire
taxi
and
roam
around
the
city
and
market,
yes
you
can
but
the
only
option
will
be
to
hire
taxi
from
reports
itself
and
they
are
much
much
expensive.
In
Kerala
it
was
like
3500
INR
for
50km,
(Poover
to
Ashthamudi
resorts)
almost
70
Rs
per
KM.
7.
Food:
Food
was
nice
with
different
verities
but
every
meals,
you
will
have
to
take
from
resort
only
as
who
will
go
5-6
km
by
taxi
for
a
breakfast.
8.
No
transparency:
I
purchased
the
membership
from
one
of
a
their
executive,
names
Bilal
Sheikh.
He
promised
me
to
give
food
coupons
and
extra
days.
But
later
when
I
actually
wanted
to
use
my
holidays
he
didnt
help
at
all,
no
food
coupons
no
extra
nights.
And
it
was
too
difficult
to
reach
him
on
his
mobile,
sometimes
it
took
him
days
to
pick
my
call.
Another
interesting
thing
is
he
used
my
holidays
without
even
informing
me,
and
when
I
called
him,
he
simply
said
I
will
give
you
extra
days
whenever
you
need
on
behalf
of
these.
9.
Now
the
big
fraud,
I
stopped
paying
EMI
because
I
wanted
to
experience
the
holidays
atleast
once,
so
that
I
can
decide
whether
to
continue
the
membership
or
not
based
on
my
experience.
After
the
membership
purchase
I
could
not
use
my
holidays
as
I
went
to
Switzerland
for
a
business
trip
of
4
months.
During
this
period
they
debited
two
EMI
from
my
bank
account
without
my
notice,
even
though
I
requested
many
times
to
stop
the
EMI
debit.
The
person
on
other
end
even
confirmed
that
it
will
not
be
debited
but
still
two
EMIs
got
debited
from
my
bank
account.
When
I
called
Mr.
Bilal
for
the
same
he
said
dont
worry
I
will
give
you
food
vouchers
of
same
amount,
and
when
I
was
going
for
holidays
he
completely
denied
that
he
can
not
give
the
food
vouchers.
Finally
I
went
to
my
bank
and
requested
to
stop
the
ECS
request
coming
from
Club
Mahindra.
I
hope
this
will
give
you
an
enough
information
about
ClubMahindra.
My
intention
is
just
to
make
your
holidays
better
not
a
worst
experience.
I
am
an
IT
professional
and
working
in
Mumbai.
