Over the past few weeks Inside Timeshare has been running a series of articles regarding the troubles around Silverpoint and associated companies. We began with a series of articles in six parts on the truth behind Silverpoint this can be found in the link below. As a result, Inside Timeshare has been receiving many enquiries on this but also many many more from members who have been told their bookings will not be honoured.

Our readers have also been sending letters to Inside Timeshare from Excel Hotels & Resorts SA and also from Club Paradiso Ltd outlining their reasons behind all of this. We begin first with the letter one reader was given by Excel while actually on holiday.
In this letter which can be read in full on the link below, explains that on 13 September 2018, Excel Hotels & Resorts SA, had terminated the product marketing agreement with Signallia Marketing Distribution SA, formerly known as Silverpoint Vacation Solutions SA.
The result is that any member who has booked through Signallia to stay at any of the resorts managed by Excel has after that date will not be honoured. They do however say that they did honour some of the bookings to “prevent disruption” being caused to members.
It also transpires that Signallia continued to market the products even after the termination of the agreement without the consent of Excel. Therefore none of these reservations will be honoured at any of the resorts.
The letter also goes on to say that Excel never received any payments collected by Excel and that they are not liable for any sums paid. Now considering that all these companies are interlinked via the parent company which was owned by the late Bob Trotta does make this look very suspicious indeed.
The letter which is unsigned but carries the Excel stamp ends with Excel informing clients that they are informing the relevant police authority, in other words, they are denouncing one of their own companies!

Several other readers have also sent us a letter amounting to 4 pages, with the last 2 being Frequently Asked Questions, from Club Paradiso Ltd another British Virgin Islands company and signed by Alex Lawson who we know is working on behalf of the Trotta family with his company Alvarez & Marsal to liquidate assets to save the Trotta family fortune. (See the link at the start)
The letter dated 12 July 2019 begins with advising members that on 14 May 2019 he was appointed as a director of the company, with the former sole director resigning with effect from 30 May 2019. This now makes Lawson the sole director of Club Paradiso Ltd.
He explains that since his appointment it has become apparent that Club Paradiso is facing a “number of significant issues”, we know and so do all the members who are contacting Inside Timeshare!
He goes on to complain that not all the company’s books, records and documents have been made available to him, it appears that he is unable to do his job because of this. Now the question is what actually is his job?
We know he has been appointed “administrator” of several other Trotta companies including Keys Concierge which we know has also closed down. He is also the administrator dealing with the liquidations of two BVI companies, Limora Investments Ltd the parent company to all the others and also Excel Overseas Holdings Ltd. We also know that a new company by the name of Excel Overseas Holdings is based in Dubai. So we can assume that his job is either to revamp the “Club” or “liquidate it”, we actually believe it is the latter given what his company does.
This letter also goes on to explain under previous management Club Paradiso failed to pay for the contractual agreements and arrangements with other service providers and resorts. Now we also know that all these “service Providers” and “resorts are all part of the same group of companies owned by the Trotta family under Limora Investments Ltd.
Again we see another tangled web of intrigue and dodgy dealings which is resulting in nothing but stress and anguish for the consumers who have paid considerable sums for these products. We know from our readers that they are all worried they are about to lose everything, not just the holidays not being honoured but now having to pay for new bookings after they have already paid their annual maintenance fees!
To Inside Timeshare, this does not seem to be fair, most of these members have initially paid thousands of pounds to purchase the product and also thousands in annual maintenance fees. Now it does not take a lot of working out, but these companies have made millions over the years and this is how they treat their clients. SHAME ON YOU!
