While on my trip to jamaica I ve got invited to a free day pass to royalton hotel with a present of a certificate for a 6 day free future stay in their resorts. Since I had not much too do that day and wasn't staying in all inclusive hotel.

I decided to check it out to know through difference in hotels. First of all I didn't like the hotel at all. It was limited food options. Very dirty in their restaraunts with chipped plates.

I knew I will never want to stay here. But when they started presentation. I realized it was a scam during the first few minutes. I just asked few questions regarding costs and cancellations.

And I sensed right away it is a rip off. You can calculate everything quickly in your head. One week free hotel means accomodation without food. Since they have no kitchen you will be forced to buy all inclusive option which is on average about 80$.

So a family of 4 will be paying 360$ per day on top of initial down payments, annual fees etc. That's the cost of the room if not more without travel smart. The flight discount makes no sense either as 15% discount will cost you 1500 points. You can quickly calculate actual price of those points.

Which is 75$ that is actually about 15 percent of the sunwing average flight cost. When I digged into how reservation works with particular questions and none of 3 travelsmart workers gave me clear answers I knew it was a scam. Overall if you just listen to the first minutes of the presentation when they say that they design program for people who travel lots or want to travel lots....this should sound alarming.

How would they money if you travel lots??? In fact it is reverse it is designed for you to pay first and never travel.

Reason of review: Bad quality.

Location: Montego Bay, Saint James Parish
