Is this a scam?

Offhand I would say its BS, esp since they left no reason you would get this freebie! Gringos as a rule don't receive free rooms in Col,,,

Sounds like time share to me. If you can attend and can resist their spiel, have a two night holiday on them if you don't have to shell out too much.

GHL (owner of the Sheraton on Ave. El Dorado) sells time shares for the the Sunrise Hotel in San Andres (a government-owned narco hotel, managed by GHL). Maybe it's a meeting for that. Or maybe it's someone inviting you to your own robbery and kidnapping. Haha.

The same thing was happening here in USA, you get a call saying that you won a weekend in a resort for all the family in your household, they asked for names and then they give you a reservation number in a hotel, when you get to the hotel guess what? no reservation at all and while you are sitting in the hotel like a moron wandering what happened your home all alone is being broken into, the other day my wife got a call saying she won a couple of tickets for American Airlines all she had to do was pick them up that day it was a Saturday at 4:00 pm, do they think everybody falls for that?

Right on Tinto. The GHL hawkers are all over San Andres. They are worse than the beach vendors who normally take "no" for an answer.
