I suggest you contact RCI directly. We have a membership with them too (RC I) and have never actually used it at the hotel we bought at or even in the country of purchase. Was it specific perhaps to their "vacation club" ?

vacation club

No I bought RCI weeks through them but the way rci works is your resort has to replace the weeks that you use for toher people around the world and now that can not happen. This resort Breezes Punta Cana and now they are closing down a very old resort in Sousa. So what I bought means nothing now.irate:

BigDaddy,

I think you are a little premature. The OP claims, and everything I have read seems to indicate, that the resort plans to reopen after some period of months being closed, under a new name. Presumably their obligations will follow that opening date and name. If they do not reopen, then I believe your current statements will be appropriate, at that time.

Just my opinion.

before we saw the light and rented a condo/villa on the North Coast, Breezes was one of two places we were considering. would not have been happy at all! I wonder what they would have done for us had we decided on them??

Just called Breezes Puerto Plata and RCI

I called yesterday and have been trying to get someone from Breezes to deposit my RCI weeks for the last 5 weeks. No one has been able to help me, nor did they tell me the resort was closed when I called. I haven't had any reply to several emails to their VIP club. After reading that they closed May 1st, I immediately called RCI. They said they are no longer affiliated with Breezes/Sol de PLata and that I had to get in touch with the resort to try to get my money back.

On March 27, 2009 Breezes Puerto Plata charged my visa $1962.92 for a down payment on a time share. (20% downpayment - we refused to pay it all up from thank goodness!) They told us we would have to wait 6-10 weeks before our RCI membership would be active. As soon as we were able to see that our membership was active online, we tried to make reservations with them. We found out today that they will reopen under the name Sol de Plata. Oddly enough, that was the name they put on our Visa charge in March. So it is apparent that in March of this year, they already knew they were going to close as the ?Breezes SuperClubs? resort, and charged our money to the new company. WHAT A SCAM

Any others experiencing the same thing, or able to get results?

Thanks

Scam

:disappoinJBC, Breezes did not act in good faith. Nor has RCI! If your contract is with Breezes, but was charged by Sol De Plata, then your contract should be voided. They have to prove that they were working in conjunction at that time. And if they were working together, all parties must honor the agreement. If you were not aware of this (Breeze becoming Sol De Plata), the contract has to be voided. You have to initial that you understand this agreement on every page. First, go to your credit card company and dispute the charge. Let them know that this is not what you have purchased. While you are doing this. Contact the Sol De Plata representative, let them know that you had a agreement with Breezes and not them. And you wish to terminate this agreement because Breezes no longer exist. Contact the Dominican government, because they are very concerned about tourism and would not be happy about these circumstances. Remember your contract is the key. You read it carefully or have a professional read it over for you. Last thing, get in touch with other Breezes owners who have the same problem. The more exposure the better the return!

Approach your credit card company straight away with all the information that you can give them
They should be able to get the money back for you
Good luck

The DR 1 advises against these types of transactions and while it might be too late to retrieve your losses , you will now be able to offer this advise to others who fall into the ...."Real Estate Trap"

A quick question - is this hotel also known as the Puerto Plata Resort? If not, does anyone know where the Puerto Plata Resort is? I can't find it!!

Thanks

Breezes used to be called "Sol de Plata".
There is "Puerto Plata Beach Resort" at the Malecon in Puerto Plata, but not operating like the hotels with A.I.
There is "Puerto Plata Village" in the Playa Dorada Complex, an AI hotel. A "Puerto Plata Resort" does not exist.
