This is more about the Karma Membership review than the resort itself. So if you are reading this to know about the resort facility then this review will not be helpful. We stayed in Cavelossim, Goa in a gated community. During one of our early morning beach visit we were approached by 2 Karma agents asking us to tear open a coupon to see if we have won any gifts. It so happened that the coupon that I tore open did not have any gift(Had the words "Better luck next time"). But the coupon which my wife opened (lady luck as said by the 2 agents) had said that she could win a Tab, mobile holiday in some foreign location. After reading many reviews online I see a pattern where wife always wins and the husband almost always gets "better luck next time" card. Could this be a ploy to entice the ladies who in-turn will coax the husband in attending the presentation? So those 2 agents said that these gift could be hers if she attended a presentation of 1 hour and breakfast was complimentary. We definitely got excited about the complimentary breakfast as it fit our that days schedule and we had seen the Karma - Hathi Mahal property from outside and had loved it. We said okay and it was followed by 2-3 phone calls by the agent until we made it to the Karma property. We were welcomed by the staff at the property and treated well with a good breakfast. I have travelled a lot and a per my experience this breakfast was average. Then starts the first step of presentation. A walking presentation showing some of the resorts achievements , awards, reviews etc etc promptly displayed on the walls. After 2-3 transfers of sales representatives, we were finally guided by a sales representative who started the process of convincing us to take their Karma membership(Ownership as they call it). She first started talking general things and getting to know us to build a comfort zone. She asked our background, location. past holidays etc etc. They explain it to well that it leaves no room for any more convincing. But they will not arrive at the membership fees. They have the knack of getting into our psyche. They show the pictures of Karma resorts worldwide property to entice us. And in this day and age of Instagram where we see so beautify resorts which we would love to stay these convincing definitely strike a chord. But then how much ever we ask they do not arrive at the Membership fees. Because they have a template of convincing that they have to follow. Then they take us across the property, show us the best room. I have a hunch that they show us the best room(model room) . But i have my own doubts if that what will be given when we actually become a member. Or even if we are given the member ship cost will be even higher. The 2 bedroom was like a service apartment which anybody would love to stay. Because we know the kind of rooms we get in other hotels. Karma Hathi mahal property is pure luxury. It came to a point where I stared getting restless and tired and forced her to say the fees. Even then they don't tell. They still are not done in massaging our brains into buying the membership. After a lot of discussion for a 1 bedroom hotel option(165 points) the membership MRP price they quoted was 11.5 Lakhs. But then they sweeten the deal by saying that this month is 29th anniversary month(may2023) and we will give you the membership for 5.3 lakhs. That's a 1 time payment which will make us member for 25 years. And there will be a maintenance fees for 38K for every 2 years. They even give us EMI option(60 months) at 19% which come up to 7.5 lakhs for the same deal. There is a lot in this membership. But I will tell the basic. When we take membership we get 165 points. With these points we get to stay for 6 nights 7 days which we can use it across 2 years. If we consume these points within 2 years we can buy additional points. Rs 150 for every point if we want to purchase. In 2 years if we don't use the 165 points then it gets rolled over to next year. Karma have 33 resorts world wide which we can stay by using these points. They have a tie-up with 6000 affiliate properties where we can stay buy paying Rs2300 per night. I think by the looks of it its a great deal. They also say that this deal stands invalid if you get up and walk away. They don't even give us a night to think over and decide. You are selling us a 5-10 Lakh product which we are hearing for the first time. And which would last for 25 years. Don't you think its fair to give us time to decide. Don't create a make or break moment. They try real hard to force us to make a impulsive decision. Thank god my wife who stood by me did not force me to take it. I am concerned if others wife might not be so understanding and might coax husbands to take it. An 1 hour presentation turned into 5 hours(including our breakfast time). It was very tiring for us and draining for the sales person. I am not saying that Karma membership is bad. In fact I really liked it. Room rents is one of the main reason why we don't take holidays now a days. And they will only get costly. By the looks of it Karma membership could be of good help here. The concept is great. But i am skeptical when they say there are no hidden fees. Reading may online review, what i am readying that affiliate resorts are charging 3000-15000 per night. I don't believe those reviews but i am taking it with a pinch of salt. My question to Karma group. If your membership is so good then why don't you keep the offer open instead of tricking us into making a impulsive decision. You have a good business plan. Please make it more transparent. And the environment in which you are running this presentation it feels very manipulative. I strongly feel that your prices are not transparent and you are setting different price for different families. And why call it a 1 hour presentation for a 5 hour convincing session?!!!! I must also say that they accept our NO with a smile.…
