They are legal, but lots of flows.... Thinking about filing a law suite...

Poor guy. Did you keep the receipt or something can get them into the court? I mean sometimes we need the law.

No, thanks God, we did not pay. They wanted taking our Timeshare equal to 21,000$ and cash 8,900$. We paid only downpayment 2,400$, that is all. Checked their site and discovered that to take a week in their home resort is around 900-1000$ for one bed room. And it is almost twice higher then with our timeshare. So we send cancelation. Mastercard reluctant returning our downpayment, so we collect all facts about GQ. Today we will file complaint with BBB for their lies and manipulations. I just curious, how much in total you paid included your trade in? In my case it was 29,900$ (but I reclaimed ownership for my time share, and stop any payments from mastercard, so in worse case scenario it would be 2,400$). Reason why I am asking, because I have contract for cash only, and timeshare could goes as private sale, it is not mentioned in contract at all. So it looks like scam. I wanted cancel it even before 5 days collapse, but they managed to keep my interest till seven days and after that I send cancelation. Did you check their website and prices? As I said I filing with BBB and thinking about going to a lawyer. I am in Calgary. If you want joining and file with BBB, it would have more power. Or at least to give me facts on them.

Checked the whole company out, seem like they are legit. Not sure, what the problems are from reading the notes below.

Is the problem, the pricing or the fact that they are slow to respond, or have not sold your exchanged timeshares?

Before we purchased, we were careful to check out the Grupo Questro that runs them.

They are one of the largest real estate developers in Mexico. However, am concerned that the info below may mean they are running a scam.

Please let us know of the experience, and the problems with the timeshare, or service. Have you tried to book stays with them? How has that worked out?

We purchased 6 weeks for 40,000 plus tax, cc. i thought that was a really good price compared to the timeshares that we've looked at in cabo. from what we've seen u cant get a week in a studio for under 17k. thought this was a good deal!?!?!?

I was in Cabo 8 months ago, and bought at Globequest as well... have my confirmation for christmass at the Hilton...no problem so far.. just out of curiosity....what is the scam ???

Hi... group let me start off as another Globequest Member I have not had any problems.. I bought the membership about 6 months ago. I the bought the membership for about $20,000 for 4 home resort wks and 2 exchange wks and a priority pass, access card and 2 vacation certificates

The program does offer good services. Now as many new travel services are at the beginning they will always have hiccups so you they may seem like a scam but they are long passed that now.

A young fellow called George who works there always helps me and always produces results I call him my Globequest specialist. You may want to give him a call.

They work with Groupo Questro which has the best properties and Golf courses in Cabo San Lucas which all of us have access too. As previous experience in timeshares in Cabo I trust Groupo Questro.

In regards to Equity Exchanges from passed experience. It is very long process and takes a long time for any hotel or management to take it over.

I don't want to sound bias but to call a company a scam on the grounds "that it may take long on an equity exchange to get processed" sounds ridiculous.

I wish you all who have done equity exchanges with Globequest the best.. Keep us posted
