This blog is to provide details of vacation spots associated with Leisure Connections and Member Services Inc. After only being able to find information about Leisure Connections from their website or DC TravelScams site, I thought an objective site would be beneficial for those using Leisure Conenctions. Hopefully we can get the best out of it by helping each other with vacation reviews and ideas. Please provide comments and reviews so I can post them on here and we can stay informed.

Advertised Locations That Are Actually Available
Like I said previously, I have gone to the Baywatch Wyndham resort in Myrtle Beach. Yesterday when I called, they said that the St. Martin had several places and St. Thomas has a few. She also mentioned that Costa Rica was difficult to get. Please let me know if you have traveled to any other locations with Leisure Connections or are aware of additional locations beyond what the book says (or even ones that are in the book and you were able to actually book).
As an update, I would like to say that I again requested a location in Central America, they came back with a place in EL Salvador, which is an extremely high-crime area, and a place in San Jose, Costa Rica, which is the capitol. I have visited San Jose, and it was not somewhere one would want to vacation. However, we did get a place in Lake Tahoe at the Tahoe Seasons Resort, in May 2013, which was quite nice in May and right across from the slopes at Heavenly ski resort, so it would be a good spot for a ski trip. We were also booked for a trip to Mijas, Spain through Leisure Connections and we will be staying at a place called Medina del Zoco in May 2014.
Leisure Connections and Member Services Inc.the company
This blog is not meant to promote either of these timeshare programs. Many customers are disatisfied with their purchases to this company and feel that they were scammed. I too felt the same way and attempted several times from 2005 to 2009 to use my timeshare unsuccessfully until 2009. If you are considering purchasing this deal, please do your research, there are a lot of fees and unhappy customers. Like I said, this blog is meant to help those who cannot get their money back use the program to their advantage. I want to get input on people who have traveled to other resorts and locations and see reviews on their trips and accomodations so that all of the members can make lemonaide out of the lemons. Thank you for reading this blog and contributing.

Leisure Connections Myrtle Beach Wyndham Resort
We stayed at the Wyndham Baywatch resort in August of 2009 through the Leisure Connections timeshare program. This was the first opportunity that I had to use this timeshare. Upon arrival, the first thing I noticed was that we had a deadbolt lock and all of the other rooms had the traditional card key. A man was cleaning our room (not a maid), perhaps he was a leisure connections or member services inc. employee, but he did not do a very good job. The resort was nice but we did not have access to most amenities since we were there with a timeshare, not a hotel guest. We did not have maid service, fresh towels, soap coffee or any of the normal things provided at a hotel. Our coffee pot was broken, the sheets, blankets and couch were stained, but everything else worked and got us through the week. We had a stove/oven, microwave, pots, pans and silverware along with a full size fridge. We did have to purchase toilet paper and paper towels for the condo, as well as dish soap, sponges, and other necessities. But like I said, the resort (as a hotel) was nice, but our room was barely livable. I have recently put in a request for Saint Martin through leisure connections and will post how that trip goes. It is scheduled for May 2011.
