My husband and I took the tour of Big Cedar Resort in Branson, MO last weekend. We signed up for a 3 day/ 2 night stay for $99.00 while at the Bass Pro Shop in Broken Arrow, OK. We knew before we went down there that we would be staying at a hotel and only going to the property for the tour and sales pitch. It was a nice hotel and it would have cost us more than the $99 to stay there for 2 nights.
We have been on several timeshare tours and knew what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised this time. Although the whole thing did take longer than what they estimate, it did not take near as long as some others we have been to. We did not have to wait much past our appointment time to get started. We were first gathered with a group in a room in which one speaker talked to the whole group. I liked that better than the one-on-one at other places. The speaker was friendly, funny, and non-intimidating. After his talk, someone else showed us through the property. That did not take long either. After that, we were taken into a room where they want you to sign the contract. We told the guy we could not get into anymore debt right now. He called someone else in, which is standard practice at these things. After we told the second person the same thing, she just said okay. Neither the first guy or the second lady held us up. In fact, I was surprised at how quickly they let it go. Usually I have to stand up and start moving towards the door.
I told several friends and family that it was an amazingly beautiful resort, and if I was ever going to buy in on timeshares, it would be here. I told my sister it would be the perfect place for her honeymoon, and even to get married at. I was looking for their website when I came across this website. I wanted to see if people could get married there, and if you could stay there without being a member, like at a hotel.
Overall, the timeshare tour was a good experience. I would never have known what an awesome place it is if we hadn't done that. All the sales people were polite, and have a lot more class than I have encountered elsewhere. They did not act like piranhas ready to devour our bank account, and didn't act mad at us for declining their offers. When we said we couldn't afford it they said okay. The first man that spoke to our group said that they have plenty of buyers and don't need to hammer those that say no. I really didn't believe him due to past experiences, but he spoke the truth. We were let off the hook so easily and quickly, we stopped and ate in their restaurant instead of running to escape.
