Just returned from Bali for the second time this year hopefully we can last twelve months before we go again.
We were fully aware of the Timeshare tactics used after our first visit and to be honest the number of people pushing on the street had dropped. In March we were having people approach us from the back of motor bikes, this time only the walkers. We were not however prepared for the contact made to our Hotel room telephone . An English lady called to say that I was very lucky to have my name drawn first out of a hat and I had won a 7 day holiday (bells ringing). After a few more words she gave me information about when I had arrived and my Nationality which had confused her because she new I had flown in from Oz. At this point I dropped the question was this timeshare and she had advised yes they had a club. I then started to say I was annoyed to be contacted at the Hotel and query how she obtained all this info on me, she the quickly cut the conversation short and hung up.
The information she provided on me was only supplied by me on the immigration form I filled out at the Airport.
It appears these people are now buying this information from someone and using it. I have no need for timeshare but if you do I suggest you think hard about dealing with people who promote the Peninsula Hotel who appear to be unscrupulous in there pursuit of prey.
Anyway from this crap had a great time,stayed at Besakih Sanur full of Aussies and a couple of gloating Poms, apparently they had won a cricket match somewhere
