Global Travel Network

Really found the staff and service helpful and actually enjoyable. Staff is helpful, knowledgeable and answered all our questions.

Just added another star to our plan with Global Travel Network. They were very nice & what I liked the most is we felt no pressure to buy more stars. They gave us a refresher on our plan! I am ready to travel!

We have had our membership for 5 years and have enjoyed every vacation stay! Thanks Global!

All I have to say is i wish i known about global travel years ago, We would have saved a fortune. We have been members now for 3 years and just recently went in last night and met with Ryan Murphy who set us up with the new service. Me and my wife our very pleased with the service and customer service Global has to offer. Our first trip was to Kona Hawaii for 7 days we stayed at the Mauna loa village kona. which this place was nicer than many of the 5 star hotels we’ve stayed in the past.
We have since made another trip back to kona, and again we are returning late this fall. Not to mention all the other services we have used that Global has to offer.
In the first 2 trips our membership has paid for itself.
We have been able to take more trips do more things and still not spend half the money we would have if not for Global.
And the best part of it you never lose your membership if you chose not to travel for a year you don’t pay your fee for that year.
Global has allowed us to travel more when we want and stay longer our next trip will be for 3 weeks with out global it would have been 7 days and let me tell you it is impossible to see everything in 7 days even if rushed and who wants to rush on vacation? Not us it is called a vacation for a reason.
I encourage everyone and i have told everyone i know about Global Travel.
Thanks to everyone at Global Travel In Roseville And Ryan Murphy Thanks so much for allowing my family to experience traveling the way it should be experienced.

From most of the reviews I have read most of the people that have not purchased are rating GTN low because they were called several times and/​or did not receive «promised» gift. On the contrary, all the people that have purchased a membership are extremely happy and rate GTN high.
With that being said, my husband and I purchased a GTN membership in 2007 and strongly believe that this has been the BEST purchase of our lives! We are extremely happy customers because we know that if it wasn’t for this purchase, we would of never have been able to experience REAL vacations. We have stayed and shared our adventures with family at Maui, Las Vegas, San Diego, Sedona, Lake Tahoe, Kaui, and have yet to be disappointed. Just within our first vacation at Maui, we knew that our membership had more than paid for itself!
Just last year, my husband and I were able to upgrade our membership and now have an 8 star membership. The Star system vacation lets you plan and stay anywhere for a full 8 day/​7 night stay for just one star and $ 105 for the processing fee (An additional star or $ 300 for peak season). Even if you do not stay for the whole week, this price beats any one-​night stay at any hotel anywhere!!!

I have booked some of my mini trips around California with Global Travel Network and have been pretty impressed so far. I did some comparisons and this place offers better hotel rates then expedia and orbits. They offer some vacation condo deals too that are pretty solid. I would say the only negative I have found is they should offer more of the camping locations but I might be the only one that wants to do that anyway…

First of all, I don’t know why there are so many negative reviews, I have had a great experience! I didn’t know what to expect but WOW! This company has been so helpful in finding me an EXTREMELY affordable trip to Europe for my birthday in August. Honestly I’m young and I couldn’t have pulled this off without finding this company. Good luck I guess! I swear if you give this company a shot you can travel WORLD WIDE very inexpensively ! I am a recent college grad and I received this membership as a graduation present and I can afford to travel now! Thank you so much.
Ps thanks for the free trip

My wife and I have been on three separate week-​long vacations as Global Discovery members. Looking forward to our fourth at a resort just outside Glacier National Park in Montana this coming September. Booking and enjoying Global vacations is a ‘no hassle’ experience, and is amazingly low cost. Our favorite week so far was staying in a beautifully renovated two bedroom suite condominium on Hawaii’s Big Island with my brother and his wife as our guests in October 2015. You should give Global Discovery Vacations a serious look. It may be a good choice for you too.

I just finished my second vacation week with global I have been a member since December of last year.
When we went to the presentation we were skeptical because of bad experiences at other timeshare presentations we had been to. We were glad to find out that this is a travel club not a timeshare and there are big differences. There was a lady named CJ who gave us her personal cell number and made herself available anytime to answer questions and to make sure our experience was enjoyable and worthwhile. I felt comfortable and I did not feel pressured which is very different from other presentations I had been to in the past.
If you travel a lot and especially if you have kids or a large family i suggest you look into this product. We live it so far. We are currently looking into spending new years eve week in Fiji or in Colorado, both of which we have already confirmed are available for us to book.

Honestly, I really enjoy being a member. Yes, it’s the same idea as a timeshare, but instead of having a handful of home bases, the WORLD is your oyster.
For a certain amount, I have the world to choose from.
Guess what? We got a trip to Playa del Carmen… where I got engaged. The next trip? We went to Kona for our honeymoon. Come on now folks… it’s no wonder I love being a member.
If you get a chance, I seriously recommend giving them a try.

We are staying in Waikiki using Global Travel network and the place is just perfect we went to a luau tonight and watched the sunset and enjoyed some relaxing times with our family. the condo suits us fine the prices are amazing the service is as good as always and we don’t have to pay the ridiculous fees of the hotels because we have our membership of which we are thrilled with Hats Off to Global for doing another great job and helping us take another great vacation. The best part so far was my nephew celebrated his 21^st birthday today he is in the Navy and stationed at Pearl Harbor and at the luau they put him up on stage and he dance Hawaiian hula which had us all rolling on the floor laughing and having a great time at the diamondheadluau

As I looked through the ratings to get a feel for how to rate this company I see two extremes: 1 star (or worse if they could) for feeling scammed or pestered for the «free whatever» and 4 or 5 stars from those who purchased and use the program. In my opinion there is NO excuse to pestering people other than greed; if they say «not interested» let them go for crying out loud. In the same vein; don’t pitch «you won something» when that isn’t really true: Be honest, say «this is a marketing promotion to share what we do with you, if you like it we’d love your business, if not the trip or whatever is our way of saying thank you for your time». Yes that takes 60 – 90 minutes to show why a program like this might make sense to you and time can never be reclaimed so a «free trip» (not FULLY free as there are fees that are not within the control of the travel company) seems like a reasonable exchange. On the other hand, if all you are doing parasitizing a business for the «freebies» but have no intention whatsoever to purchase shame on you! So with that stated here’s my review:
Dan H. was our presenter and also the manager in Roseville. What stood out to me was his transparency: If you travel at least one week a year and like checking out new locations, prefer condo accommodations vs. hotel accommodations this is for you. 1000s of properties around the world could be used for a fraction of a 3−4star hotel price. My wife and I travel regularly and from what we were shown that seemed legit. He went on to say if you are flexible on dates and locations then the program is a «no-​brainer» as their are always «Expressway Getaways» …a week in a condo for under $ 300! No these are not «peak season» but they are the same locations as any other time of year and they don’t subtract from your program, in other words these are like bonus weeks! So we signed up, took our daughter to Costa Rica, stayed in a lovely 2 bedroom condo for $ 279 for the WEEK! Yes there are additional fees, local taxes etc (duh), but that is true regardless. So $ 390 for a week saved AT LEAST $ 700, I estimate within 2 – 3 trips the program is paid for faster if we travel more which is why we purchased the program. Dan told the group: If you don’t travel often, if you aren’t spontaneous with travel, then this program may not be for you but if you do then this could be exactly your excuse to save money so you can travel more to a variety of locations.
One more note: These are NOT HOTELS; no room service, no maids, etc. they are condos. As I mentioned, there are other fees, local taxes and utility fees are common in travel globally but typically are bundled in hotel prices so be certain that you are aware… but really $ 300 – 500 for a week in a two bedroom condominium on a lovely property in an exotic location? Nice.

These guy’s are a much better way to get access to condo’s in top destinations than paying retail, or buying a timeshare. I noticed that most, if not all the complaints are from people that DO NOT own the program. First, this is not for everyone. If you hunt for the cheapest price for accommodations when you go on vacation, and say things like, «I don’t care about the room, I just sleep there.» This is not for you!!! Go spend your money at motel 6. On the other hand, if you want to stay in some of the best resort areas in the nicest places, there is no better program available. When I vacation, I want a CONDO, not a cheap hotel. I want separate bedrooms, kitchen, view of the ocean etc. I also don’t like what my friends, and parents have to go through to use their timeshare. I have none of that. I can take my kids to Hawaii for a week, stay in incredible accommodations, and pay less than a hotel room. I love this program.

We bought from GTN less than a year ago and stayed at the Grand View in Vegas. The place looks brand new and there was a ton of stuff to do there. We took our kids on this trip and they had a great time in the pools. The rooms were basically little apartments, just like the room at the Ridge Pointe in Tahoe that we stayed at this winter. Rooms were huge and had a ton of stuff to do. we never had to leave the property. Even Heavenly Ski Resort was right next to us. We love that we can depend on spending $ 300 on a week of vacation and know we’re going to like it. These places treat you like royalty when you get there. I recommend buying!

We bought, and got the value out to cover what we paid with our first trip, an Alaskan cruise for our 20^th anniversary.
We have really enjoyed our most recent trips, and are considering buying additional stars, which will allow us more trips, upgrades, or peak period travel.
The good:
We have traveled to Alaska, Hawaii, and many trips in California. The cost per week is generally one third of what people that actually own the physical timeshare pay in annual dues or maintenance. The only way to use this, is in full week stays, however, for us the reason we bought in was to force ourselves to take vacations. Our most recent week was the best yet, a full week in Lake Tahoe for a few hundred dollars, with direct gondola access from our two bedroom condo to Heavenly Valley Ski Resort. Absolute top flight timeshare community, in room spa, and more than enough space for a family of 5.
The Bad
Although this is not true of our latest experience, some of the places we’ve gone were quite dated. A resort on on the Big Island of Hawaii had no air conditioning. A resort in Lake Tahoe had no elevator and the parking lot was several flights of stairs below the base of the building we stayed in. You have to read the fine print in order to know what you’re going to have when you get there.

Zero stars. I made the mistake of signing up for their «free» vacation and now I can’t get rid of them. This guy calls everyday (so far, 15 calls). I’ve told him we are not interested in attending a 2 hour sales talk to join their «travel club» and told him to remove our name and phone number from his call list. He said he gets paid by the hour so apparently he’s got plenty of time to make calls.
I’m contacting the FCC to file a complaint and I’m contacting the Manderin Festival to let them know.

I’m so glad I read all other people’s reviews! my husband got phone call lol wining free trip from manderin festival which we did not raffles with them. I was wondering situations. plus they pissed us about their company policy which
«» you Can Not bring Kids!!’”“
no matter we asked, like we don’t have family near and never use daycare so we can’t go without my baby. or one of us go one wait outside.
they said we will pay 100 $ meal coupons for baby sitter lol
it all made us mad!
anyway, from begging it sounds fishy so I checked all reviews. technically everyone has same story line. so this is absolute Scam!!!
I hope they stop calling us.

Do not buy anything from this Travel Agency!
We did and were promised a FREE Cancun trip as a sign up bonus, which they now deny!
We did not find this out until we tried to schedule it. It was an All Inclusive Property, but you have to pay for that, an extra $ per day.
We tried to work this out with them, we were handed off to different «Managers» 3 times, but they never solved our issues.
Do not waste your money here!
Contact me if you want more information.

I entered my information at a home show raffle and was contacted by GTN. I was not interested in sitting through a 90 minute presentation. I kindly let them know I was not interested and asked to be added to the DO NOT CONTACT list.
They are STILL calling. 3 times in the last 2 hours and 6 times yesterday. No messages. Always busy when you try to call back.
They’ve lost my business just for not respecting my request and will be losing the business of my friends and family as well.
UPDATE (next day) —
I’ve been called 7 times total today. 4 more times since writing this review. Are you f*cking kidding me.
UPDATE (1 month later) —
Update on my last review — Still harassing with phone calls a month later. Stopped for 30 days and then picked up again. Once a day for the last week at minimum.
I urge customers to file a complaint with the FCC if you are being harassed by them. Remind them they are in violation of the Do Not Call list, speak to a supervisor and ask for the «agent for service» in case you need to take legal action if it gets worse.

I too had a horrible experience with this company. After their initial call, they continued to call me several times a day, every day for months– including early mornings on weekends… Until I finally learned how to block their calls.
My original review that I posted about a year ago has been deleted because it didn’t meet the «guidelines».
This was my opinion and my experience with this company. Good luck but be cautious…
