If you disregard the exchange trip I went on to Holland with the local football team, my first real vacation “abroad” was to Malta shortly after I got married. I have mixed memories about the trip.

The island was picturesque, the people friendly and the weather warm, but there are some crazy drivers over there and you take your life in your hands on roundabouts.

Still, it was very nice – or at least it would have been but for the accommodation we were in. It was awful and not a bit like we’d anticipated from the pictures in the holiday brochure.

The spacious accommodation was more like a converted military barracks. There was no air conditioning, the fans barely worked and the torn screens let in the mosquitoes, which practically ate us alive.

As for the pool, well we won’t even go there!

Not surprisingly, we were ideal targets for time-share touts offering their free meal and gift in exchange for a couple of hours of our time. We went along unsure what to expect but grateful for any excuse to leave our apartment. It was like walking into a different world.

We looked, we listened, and we bought, but have never been back since. Instead, for the past thirty years we’ve exchanged our weeks for trips to other countries, and whilst timeshare has earned itself a somewhat bad name, there’s no question the quality of the accommodation is outstanding.

Some people complain about the maintenance fees but they are for the room regardless of how many people stay there, as opposed to the per person package tours which often end up as horror stories, similar, or worse, than ours.

Only last week, friends of ours stayed in a caravan on a holiday camp which cost them as much as we pay for a week in our luxury apartment, and they had none of the facilities we enjoy.

Yes, I like timeshare, but have been the victim of a scam when persuaded to exchange the timeshare for a holiday club scheme. This supposedly offered better exchange opportunities, and no annual maintenance. You just paid a membership fee and a booking fee if you used it.

These fraudsters are very clever con artists and their story is incredibly plausible. We had the Fraud Squad and Interpol involved, but no-one ever got caught, which is sickening. I know one elderly couple who were swindled out of £15,000 and worried about it so much it ruined their health.

So, why am I telling you this?

Well, I’ve just been told a similar story as that told by the conniving little scumbags who looked me in the eye, sympathised about how difficult it must be to have an autistic son, and then ran off with my money, so you can imagine a few alarm bells were ringing.

Here we go again, I thought, another scam, but I was wrong.

This discounted luxury holiday vacations “sounds too good to be true” story is genuine.

Check it out for yourself.

Now it gets even better because there’s a way to get your dream holidays even cheaper. That’s what I call genius!
