Beware of “Country Club”

It is located in bank street, back side of “Arab Bank” in Al Ghani Building. Most probably they will call you from the coupon you filled in “Ware house” at old airport area, mentioning that you got a prize. There will be a party, come and collect the prize with your family. When you arrive there, they will guide you to a hall, with loud music and tables with certain distance, so that you can not hear what is discussed at nearby table. Now they will start to canvass their product, which is a tour program. The main thing is many of the features were mentioned orally, which I realised later, it is false.

Some are given below for example :

1. My parents and wife’s parents are also included in the package – It is not true. Either I have to pay extra amount or borrow the days from next year.

2. If my son is not joining us he can go separately - It is not true. I have to pay extra amount or borrow the days from next year.

3. Food is free - It is not true. I have to pay 80% for the food.

4. Each year I have to pay QR 800/- additionally, as maintenance charge. It is not informed to me.

5. My elder son is 13 year old. For extra bed additional charges will be applicable. It is also not informed to me.

6. There will be a pickup and drop facility from airport. For sight seeing one driver (who knows 12 languages) and car will be available 24hrs X 7 days at my disposal. - It is not true and I need to pay additional charges.

7. You can book the room at your convenient date. – It is not true, you can book the rooms during off-season only and not as per your convenient.

The terms & condition was not given to anybody. They insist, that it is a offer price and you will not get the same price later, which is not true.

If you get a call from “Country club” be careful.
