Before we start, please visit http://www.RobertPaisola.com for full information on Robert Paisola

Hello to all of my Travel, Tourism and Timeshare Friends around the world, and a special hello to the readers of The National Time Share Blog, Street Talk
My name is Robert Paisola and I am a national media correspondent for many travel and tourism publications including Conde Nast, National Geographic and Travel Magazine.

I am also a Timeshare Sales Trainer and have Trained thousands of timeshare sales representatives around the world. You will notice that I do not take sides when answering your questions, I simply just present the facts.
Many of you have been abused to and lied to by timeshare sales people around the globe. My goal is to change that by using the immense power that we have created on the internet as a platform
(See www.RCITrainings.com ) to have the voice of the common citizen heard worldwide.

Just so that you understand where I am coming from, I want you to watch this video of a recent timeshare sales representative training that took place in Mexico:

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7890558632918597748&q=robert+paisola
You will notice that the room was full of emotion and excitement. That is what created the buying "ether" that made you sign on the dotted line.

I work with hundreds of RCI and Interval Resorts around the world, and would be happy to assist you in your efforts to resolve your situation.

In some cases, your issue will require personal contact with the resort, that is why I set up our VIP Service Program that gives you access to me and my team to try and resolve your problems. You can review the program here:

One last thing, I travel a lot. That means that your question may go a few days without a reply, but rest assured that I WILL reply to you personally.

While in Mexico, he uncovered a large time share "fractional sales" scam at the Playa Del Sol Grand Hotel. His report is located at

I can handle 2 questions per day. I provide detailed reviews and present the facts. Here is a video of a timeshare training that I just did...
Subject: Playa Del Sol Grand- NEVER EVER GO THERE Location: Puerto Vallarta, Pacific Coast, Mexico, North America Title: A Complete Review of The Playa Del Sol Resort by Robert Paisola ID#: 5818045
Beware Before You Venture to this resort:
Here is our review for Conde Nast
This is one of the most incredible wastes of land that exists in Puerta Vallarta. Read the full Review by International Author and Travel Writer Robert Paisola, The CEO and President of Western Capital.
Again, Beware of this Property. The review is valid and verified as of September 2006.

You may also desire to go to a site that we had to set up to deal with an old 78 year old man who does not like the fact that we help people named Bill Bauer AKA Credit Wrench or CreditWrench at www.BillBauerFacts.com . It is a good Read on how twisted stuff can become on the internet!
Also, because of the large volume of mail that I receive from around the world, it may take up to a week to get back to you, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS!!! I do seminars and travel all over the world, so Please be kind in your ratings of Timeliness! If you have an emergency, go to www.WesternCapitalVip.com Immediately!
Finally, what we are doing has never been done before. I am a Time Share Sales Trainer, and the fact that this subject and profile has received the worldwide media attention that it has received, we are now getting hundreds of time share companies contacting our offices asking us to train their staffs. This is a good investment, even though it is $15,000 USD for four days of training. Why, because, RCI, Interval and their members know that there is no better way to train their staff and to cover their butts than to hire me, Robert Paisola to train them, that way they do not end up on this site, and believe me there are thousands of organizations that sell timeshares that monitor every word that I write to you. That is just THE RIGHT THING TO DO! Finally, I want all of my readers around the world to know that I visit hundreds of properties around the world and I have found a property in Cancun Mexico called THE ME HOTEL. It is formally known as ME BY MELIA. I have spent almost 60 nights there in the past 3 months working on my new book. I have met the owners and have a relationship with this property. They go above and beyond at every moment. This is 4 star resort. So, if you are looking for a place to go that is safe, modern, new, and a place that I personally recommend, then the Me by Melia in Cancun Mexico is at the top of my list.
Also...

Another word of advice is NEVER EVER buy or step foot on a SUNSET RESORT property. We were doing a tour in Cancun Mexico and you would not believe the video that we have of the management and their comments about Americans. Read my review in Conde Nast next month.
