A copy of email to iTravel2000: Dear Mary, Public Relations at ITravel2000, I am writing to express my deep concerns with the vacation that I took last December through ITravel2000. I hope that you will take the time to review my concerns carefully, as I think that they are important and not only represent my own story but should also serve as a warning to other visitors. I arrived at the hotel Marea del Portillo on December 14th, 2006. This was my third visit to the hotel in the past couple of years and I have alway... read full review »

I am a resident of the Beltsville/Calverton, Maryland 20705 for the past 22 years. I regularly would go over to the Ramada Inn which is located in the Calverton Shopping Center located off of Powdermill Road and Beltsville Drive. For the past, I guess, almost 10 years now, I think, it has been changed to the Fairfield Inn. It is a nice place, and I often go there, talk with the employees I know, have coffee and watch t.v. in their lounging area. Sometimes, I get coffee or tea and take it out the door with me, when I am heading off to work... read full review »

After taking off my contacts after work and picking up my glasses, I realize the frame holding the lens was cracked and one of the legs severely bent out of shape. The Housemaid Manager said that she has talked to the housemaid named Harold and he said that I've always put my glasses behind the lamp and that he did not touch them. I believe that Harold is lying due to fear of the consequences of omitting to breaking my glasses, even though it may be accidental. The facts are that both him and I agree that my glasses were in the hotel... read full review »

This is NOT just another Timeshare whine. I am not upset that my weeks aren’t worth much on the trade market, or that the maintenance fee is too high. I love the idea of timeshare, and understand the concept. When we moved to Northern Arizona, we were solicited to visit the Los Abrigados Resort and Spa in Sedona, an ILX Resorts / Premiere Vacation Club property. We listened to the pitch, went on the tour, then sat down across from a pushy salesman. Naturally, we were offered a deal that was good “right now” only. If... read full review »

On Sep.25/06 I received a phone call from Marilyn Smith of (RPS) Resort Property Specialists LLC, stating that they had an offer of $30,000 for my Mayan Palace Resort. I told her we had traded it for Velas Vallarta & it was worth a lot more. She apparently had the prospect on the phone & asked if he would purchase that one instead & she said he agreed & she gave me the price he would pay. She wanted $4,000 for closing costs but I said I did not have it. Then she said they would accept $2,000 now & take the other $2,000... read full review »

VIP TRAVEL: DO NOT ATTEND ONE OF THE SEMINARS, YOU WILL BE SORRY. I am one of the thousands I am sure that has been scammed by VIP Travel. Just like everyone else I have read about in these complaints I too attended a seminar and was promised this free trip and free gas vouchers, I knew it was too good to be true but stupidly they had all the staff etc so I thought it must be legit. As like everyone else I paid a $100 deposit. After no dates ever being available I got fed up and demanded my $100 deposit back. Huh good luck because when you... read full review »

I feel compelled to write this letter to you regarding an incident at the La Quinta Inn San Diego Mission Valley hotel located at 641 Camino Del Rio South San Diego, CA 92108. My husband & I stayed at that location on Saturday night, January 27, 2007. We drove there from Los Angeles and checked into the room late in the afternoon. When we left the room for dinner, I placed our camera on the seat of a chair that was provided for the desk in the room and covered it with my jacket. On Sunday, January 28, 2007 near noon, we returned from... read full review »

I also had a horrible experience! I was suckered into this by being told I was entered into a draw and that I won a vacation package. I unfortunately signed up, but was lucky enough to realize my mistake in time and asked for a refund 1 hour after signing up. I got the run around for over a week, first being told that my package would be canceled promptly, and later being told that there were absolutely NO REFUNDS. Well, I fought it and was lucky that my VISA company had a resolutions department that handled it in the end. I am still... read full review »

My wife and I were going to Cozumel on a scuba diving trip. We were to fly from Orlando to Atlanta onto Cozumel. The first plane we were to fly on had mechanical problems, the second had mechanical problems and showed up late to Orlando. We missed our connecting flight to Cozumel. They flew us instead to Cancun telling us they would get us to Cozumel. When we landed in Cancun a Delta rep. put us in a taxi and told us he would take us to Playa. From there he would get us on the fairy boat to Cozumel. Instead we were dropped off in Playa no... read full review »

I have been a Aeroplan Card holder since 1993. At that time I was using Air Canada for business trips and the point system seemed like a great way to save up for free trips. I had hoped to save enough points so that when I retired I would be able to go on a nice Holiday. It is now 2007, I am now retired. I hadn't used my Aeroplan card since 2002. I phoned the 800# to see how many points I had... they said 0. I found my 2002 statement and it showed 36,835 points. I phoned them back and they said if your card was unused for 3 year... read full review »

I couldn't even "Share Your Story" on the Sheraton website becuse they limit the characters and want some kind of photo or video. There is no complaint department or company contact information. Here's what I tried to write to them. We stayed at the Sheraton Waterside Hotel in Norfolk back on November 3rd and 4th of last year to attend a wedding. I just wanted to write and tell you what an awful facility you have. • The room had very poor ventilation. • The faucets leak. • The bathtub i... read full review »

A copy of Email to FlyFrontier: Air crew forced us to violate FAA’s on-board regulations! 12/22/06 During our recent trip back to Austin, TX, from Boise, ID, the Frontier JetExpress’ crew forced us to violate FAA’s on-board regulations, put our toddler baby in danger, and violated our right of use of a paid-for seat by forcing us to have our 2-year-old baby travel on my lap instead of on his own seat. The flight was Frontier Airlines 4272, on Mon. Dec. 18, 2006. Since our toddler baby is over 2 year... read full review »

My wife and I stopped at Cozumel during a cruise. Our excursion was cancelled due to the weather so we wandered around for a bit before we ended up talking to Justin at El Cid about an RCI membership. We were tempted with a free, all inclusive day pass just for listening and "keeping an open mind" about RCI. The presentation was supposed to last only an hour. After an hour and one-half we we're totally confused about the whole program. Then the pressure began. We had several people coming and going from our table and we... read full review »

My family and I were booked on flight 678 Orlando to White Plains on January 15 (8:25am scheduled departure). We got to the check in counter 45 minutes before the flight and were told by one of the AirTran employees that the flight was closed. He directed us to a counter where we were supposed to rebook our flight. We protested that we should be able to check in for our flight since we were there before the Orlando minimum check-in time (=40 minutes) but the employee refused. We were told by him that the security line alone was 40 minute... read full review »

Crowne Plaza hotels are owned by Marriott and the Intercontinental Hotel Group. We stayed in the Crowne Plaza in Guadalajara, Mexico. We left a wake-up request with Reception, but we also tried to set the alarm clock. The instruction booklet was missing, and we could not set it. We phoned Reception and asked someone to show us. A maintenance man arrived. He fiddled with the alarm/radio/CD player but the wrong wake-up time remained. He left with a promise to exchange it for another alarm. He did not do this, but returned to try to... read full review »

Lies Lies Lies! You can't take a vacation when you want or where you want; but when they tell you and where they tell you. Basically, they have too too too many members or not enough availability. Customer service is mafia style: beware beware! Lots of extras promised: vacations, airfare, flexible vacations, but none of this is true. Nice vacations do cost a lot of money, but you will only spend a lot of money with a Bluegreen vacation timeshare and not get the vacation. You have to schedule a year in advance, which is not disclosed in... read full review »

I stayed at the Hilton garden inn in October 06 and someone called posing as my husband. they gave him information about me and my stay. the problem is: I AM NOT MARRIED. I called the hotel and complained. They have been very rude about this situation. I am furious. They asked me not to call the hotel nor can I stay there. Please tell everyone to be careful when they stay at the Hilton. I have tried and tried to explain to them what they have done and they stated that my case was closed. I am in the process of contacting a lawyer so that I can... read full review »

While the St. Gregory appears to be a luxury hotel on the outside the suites, at least the one we stayed in had a serious problem. BEDBUGS. We informed the desk staff to no avail. We've written a letter to the general manager Jay Haddock (sent via email, mail, and fax) and as of this writing nothing has been done. Even showing our arms to the desk clerk didn't elect a response. Between the two of us we have approximately 25 bites each on our bodies. We had to throw away most of the items in our suitcase including the... read full review »

I am very unhappy about writing this letter to you. You may not be aware that the menu at the Magnolia Grill in the hotel has a section that denigrates Southerners and states that they eat and go to the bathroom in the same hour. This is indicative of the management at the Hilton and the work of food and beverage director "MXXXX". When MXXXXis MOD he brings his family to stay at the hotel and his toddler screams all through meals in the restaurant. Marco makes no effort to calm the child or remove... read full review »

I purchased a set of diamonds studs on 1/20/07 from DI's Cozumel, Mexico store at Avenida Rafael E. Melgar #131. The purchase price was $1,500.00 USD. When I got home I decided that I would like to upgrade the quality of my diamonds. The back of the original sales receipt clearly states that "you may receive a store credit on any jewelry purchased by you within 30 days of your purchase provided you return to DI and TI the original receipt for the item purchased along with the item in its original condition". I contacted DI... read full review »

I was promised so many wonderful things with OUTDOORS ADVENTURES, only to be extremely disappointed. The costs for this 'deal' is ridiculous--OVER $8000.00--and, again, this was suppose to be a 'deal'. Not only do you pay $8000.00 or even more, but then you have to pay a yearly fee of $348.00! For what? Never any availability, and if there is availability, it is a complete and total disaster: Dirty rooms, broken items, smelly, and the most rude people I have ever met! They won't let you out of this 'deal' for... read full review »

I too am 1 of many of people who have had poor service from Fairfield. I bought my timeshare on 5/2003 in Hawaii on the big island, 154,000 pt. package, from Vicki Hines/sales. I have yet to be able to use my pts since that time and it's Jan 2007 now.. they have repeatedly rejected my requests for usage. Its the same old worn out excuse: "Sorry no time available for your requested dates." I have tried booking time months in advance in an effort to use my pts to no avail..They have deliberately, intentionally over sold the... read full review »

I went through CruiseCompete.com to get quotes on a cruise in May on the Star Princess for 5 cabins (ll family members). I received 8 quotes, the lowest being from Cruises-n-More.

We booked this cruise the lst of Oct. just a few days after receiving the quote. I have left emails and phone messages for the agent to please change the BD cabins (at least those 3) to BD cabins. She won't even do... read full review »

I have read other reviews and found 1 thing to be a FACT. The customer service is horrid. First line contacts are rude and supervisors reply in email with the same negative "Valued Customer" answer. I asked them to take that description out. False advertising! I was making reservations and once done, I received an email for a $25 roundtrip discount for each person. The email sale was for 24 hours. They send it 2 hours after it had begun. I thought they would be great about it since I am a FF. They made up technical... read full review »

My husband and I had to fly to Chicago, from California for a funeral. Since it was short notice, I went through cheaptickets.com to get a lower priced ticket. I got us both tickets and noticed that same day they "reserved" the money in my checking’s account. The day we had to fly I didn't check my bank account, we had to be at the airport early. We got to our destination, with no problems. Until I tried to get the rental car, my card was declined. Since this was a unexpected trip, money was a little tight, but I got... read full review »

This was in the month of December, 2006 from Mumbai airport, we were at the airport 35 minutes before the flight Departure, however were not allowed to board the flight, saying that we are already late. Whereas, it was a business trip and we were supposed to attend an event on that particular night. After constant requests as well, we were not given any kind of compensation, credit note or any kind of help from Spicejet. Due to which we end up traveling by Jet Airways, which was of relief to us. read full review »

My family has been a member of this organization since 1983 and never had a problem up until this last summer. We have always enjoyed our time here but, this last summer there was an altercation that rescinded our membership and i feel that we were victimized by not only acting "security" but also by management. I am interested to know if anyone can help in this matter as a by-law states that because of this action they now own about 10,000 dollars of our property. Does anyone know of a "bull dog" lawyer willing to take on a complicated personal injury case? Involving not only physical injures but also financial injuries. read full review »

On my first use of the service hotels.com I noticed that the page for credit card transactions is not secured. So when I called to make my reservation, I guess I was supposed to read all the disclaimers on the website first, which like an idiot I did not so I was extremely surprised when making the reservation that money had to be paid that very moment. I couldn't even make plans to pay in cash, it had to be credit card, Money order, or nothing. When the Rep had answered the line my dog barked so I didn't catch her name nor did... read full review »

Well like many others I too was scammed by these predators. Thank god I resisted their $8,000 club purchase FULL COURT PRESS, but I am out the $100.00 deposit and the free gas. I followed every rule to the letter in order to get my vacation, because once I read it all, I knew they were looking for any way to get out of giving me my vacation. I have certified mail receipts proving I sent everything on time and they signed for it, but no vacation and no gas rebates. Also my transaction was done through the mail, which constitutes mail fraud, a... read full review »

In October 2006 we were pressured into purchasing a timeshare with El Cid Resort in Mazatlan with a verbal promise that they would sell the Timeshare that we already owned with Mayan Palace. They were going to give us an automatic 50% of the value of our timeshare, valued at $23,400. The timeshare they were selling us had a value of $29,400.00, and were to put $6,000.00 down, they would give us automatic credit for our Mayan Palace Time Share ($11,700.00) and that they will sell our timeshare and pay off the difference. Well, so far nothing... read full review »

We had even received the senior discount on the Days Inn website which should have been a "red flag" that we would need a downstairs room!! Both of the senior ladies have problems with their legs and knees. The walking up and... read full review »
