Please note that once I submit your reservation, the entire amount will be charged to your credit card. Once charged, it is non-refundable. Changes to or cancellation of your reservation will incur a $50 per person fee, plus any applicable air and resort penalties and any increase in price resulting from the change. Upon cancellation, a credit towards future travel will be issued for the balance remaining. Hurricane and Weather insurance is not included in this package, however comprehensive illness and injury insurance is available, as well as an enhanced ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ plan, both of which include the weather insurance coverage. The Standard illness and injury coverage is available for purchase up until 72 hours prior to departure, however, the enhanced ‘Cancel for Any Reason’ plan must be purchased today; this enhanced insurance is not available for purchase at a later date. You the customer are responsible for any additional airline baggage fees, pre-assigned seating, and incidentals at the resort, and entry or exit fees resulting from purchase.

Please note, it is your responsibility to confirm your flights directly with the airline 24 hours prior to travel. Do you agree to these terms and conditions?” -The client must agree before you proceed with the booking. In review of the reservation:7/24/14The client calls to discuss with the agent after she had done some of her own research online. The client and agent discuss restaurant options, kid’s activities and room categories.The client asked the agent what resort she would recommend one over the other. The agent doesn’t really sway either way but says “they are both good choices.  The client said she saw ok reviews online for both resorts.  Client then says she like a specific flight on [redacted] that see saw online.  She was looking more for a package price under $4000.00.  The client sees the package price of $4287online, asks if there are any additional discounts available with the agent.  Agent advised she is apply an offer of $100.00.  Client says to the agent that she needs to book the reservation today.  After further view the client then agrees to book the [redacted] Punta Cana.7/30/15 client called and added on shared transfers at an additional cost of $76.00 – a new set of documents were sent to the clients reflecting the change  = Reflecting a total package charge of $4383.12In order us to maintain excellent customer care, CheapCaribbean.com records every agent’s telephone calls with our customers.  At no time during any of the calls do we feel the agent pressured the client into booking. The client had calls with many questions about booking a package and the agent provided as much as assistance as possible in attempt to help the client narrow down her options.Once again, we reiterate our sincere apologizes that the resort did not meet the clients’ expectations. It’s difficult to resolve some issues once the client has returned from their vacation and the services have been rendered. Again, the best way to resolve these types of issues is to address them fist with the resort while in destination. It’s easier to show or express what is wrong and what the client wants fixed, right then and there. If satisfaction is not reached we then suggest of course contacting us for further assistance.  We found not record of the clients contacting us while in destination for any additional assistance.  1.      Attached is two full set of travel documents provided –  one for the original booking and one when transfers were added to her reservation on 7/30/152.      Attached Terms and conditions On behalf of the client we have forward the client complaint to be reviewed by the Management at [redacted] Punta Cana.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: These conditions we're not offered at the time of my booking and were sent via email after payment had been made. I am requesting $200 in reimbursement for flight change since this was a cheaper flight at time of booking. I spoke with [redacted] customer service who advised that when significant flight changes are made, monetary differences are reimbursed to the travel agents. This was not passed on to the customer. 
Regards,
[redacted]

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I do not have a chance to review the "Deal of Fortune" on their website, so other travelers can be aware of this scam. There are other negative reviews about "Deal of Fortune" deal as the travelers ended at [redacted] Resort. CheapCarribean guaranteed a 4 stars hotel (on a scale 1-5), and [redacted] was not a 4 stars hotel. Their own website shows that 64% of tourists recommend to stay at this hotel.I will never use CheapCarribean.com for my traveling plans as they are not an honest business partner. I do not know who is responsible to validate a hotel rating, I thought CheapCarribean as a service provider. I am running out of options, I was trying to raise awareness for other travelers to know what to expect from the "Deal of Fortune". We work hard to save money for a family vacation and it should be an enjoyable experience. The 2 nights voucher offered by the resort I consider useless, the airfare costs are too high plus the resort is not a 4 stars... why would we want to go back there? CheapCarribean.com should assume responsibility in this case and offer a compensation voucher for a longer period to one of the other 3 hotels included in the "Deal of Fortune"

Yesterday we booked a complete vacation at a Mexican all-inclusive resort, with airfare included. We did lots of research and spent a lot of time making this decision. The price was listed as such on their website for more than a few hours.
We received a confirmation for flights and for lodging. We also bought travel insurance.
Today we got an email that they cancelled our reservation because the price listed on the website was posted wrong. I spoke with a senior travel representative who was unwilling to give us the travel package at the rate on the confirmation- requesting instead an additional $1300. I requested a full refund, but we are extremely disappointed that the time, energy, and excitement we had for this trip are now wasted.

Per our records;
 
We advised the client that since she was filing a claim in order for us to refund her for the airline tickets she would need to send us [redacted]e denial letter. We then spoke to [redacted] which told us they had only been reimbursed for their hotel expenses.
 
To date...

our records indicate we have be authorized by the airlines to refund the clients in the amount $447.00.
 
The clients were sent to the following email on March 10, 2016:

Dear **. Xxxx,
 
We would first like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience while we reviewed your booking. Our goal is to provide each and every client the best vacation at the best price and we want nothing more than for you to enjoy the vacation that you booked with CheapCaribbean.com and we are very sorry to hear of your disappointment with [redacted] Airlines. It is unfortunate when situations and circumstances beyond our control occur amongst the various airline carriers that we offer on our website.CheapCaribbean.com will be issuing a refund of $447.00 ($223.50 Per Person)), as that is equal to the refund amount in which we received from [redacted] Airlines regarding your reservation. This amount will be refunded to the cards on file ending in 5089 and 5348. Please be advised that it can take up to 7-10 business days for the refund to show on your credit card, depending upon your financial institution.
 
While we cannot change the past, it is our sincerest hope that you will give us the opportunity to serve you again in the future, so that we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much more positive travel

Once again, we reiterate our sincere apologizes for any difficulties they may have encountered. 
Our client’s documents contained a voucher which states “if you need to contact us while on vacation, please call our Destination Help Desk”. It also included documents also contained the contact telephone number and email address to our main offices, which are open daily from 5am-Midnight EST; this information is located on every page within your travel documents. As you are aware, CheapCaribbean.com was not contacted until after our clients returned from your trip. Regrettably, it is quite difficult to repair a broken vacation upon return. Had we been given the opportunity to try and repair things while they were in destination, our clients trip may have been more satisfying to them in the end. 
As Cheapcaribbean.com is being charged in full by the resort for the reservation, we are unable to issue any compensation which is not approved by the resort. Due to this factor, there is no further action which can be taken by CheapCaribbean.com once a resort denies authorization to issue monetary compensation. In this case the resort has authorized a direct refund of $300.00. Per email from the resort:
First of all we regret the fact Family Ohanlon did not have an excellent stay at [redacted] Punta Cana. Our main goal at the hotel is to achieve excellent vacations for all our guest. Therefor this mail make us feel in a hard and deep feeling.
We have checked our records and found that the clients did not file any complaint during their stay. We would have welcomed being informed on how they felt during their stay and in helping them have a more enjoyable vacation experience. We are sorry that we were not allowed that opportunity.  
After reviewing their feedback in their letter and since we want to demonstrate them how important our guest are, we would like to offer them the reimbursement of $300 USD from the upgrade paid.
Is our sincerely hope we can have the opportunity to demonstrate them the measurements we are taking in all aspects commented.
We will reimburse them, in order to proceed with the refund, we will need that you be so kind to provide me with the following client information:
•         Account holder name:
•         Bank:
•         Bank Address:
•         Account Number:
•         [redacted] code (if applicable)
•         [redacted] code (if applicable)
•         [redacted] code (if applicable)
•         [redacted] Bank (if applicable)
 
It is unfortunate that your vacation did not meet their expectations, as this is our only goal.  We understand that this is not the outcome they desire and we certainly apologize for your disappointment. 
Attached is the clients travel document received at the time of booking and also the Terms and Conditions agreed to at the time of booking. [redacted]See attached.
Again, we reiterate our sincerest apologies for any difficulties you may have encountered. While we cannot change the past, it is our hope that you will give us the opportunity to serve you again in the future, so that we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much more positive travel experience.

[To assist us in bringing this matter to a close, you must give us a reason why you are rejecting the response. If no reason is received your complaint will be closed as Answered]
 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: There was no such notice of the terms and conditions stating ticket cancellations. As a matter of fact, [redacted] airlines was going to place me on another flight, so there was no way I was going to miss any leg of my flight.

It is unfortunate when situations and circumstances beyond our control occur amongst the hundreds of properties that we carry on our website. We regret any inconveniences that you may have experienced. We were made aware (during your travel) of an overbooking situation at the resort, and for this, we truly do apologize. This information was made known to us on the day of your arrival, February 10th. At that time, we were notified by Management at [redacted] Los Cabos that you had accepted the relocation to [redacted] and as compensation for this inconvenience, that they would be offering to you a return complimentary stay for the same number of nights as your original stay. While we cannot change the past, it is our sincerest hope that you will give us the opportunity to serve you again in the future, so that we may have the opportunity to provide you with a much more positive travel experience.

The client is fully responsible for this charge. The client purchased this vacation online and clicked and agreed to are nonrefundable Terms and Conditions at the time of booking which state that changes could be made at any time and services would be rendered “as is”.

The client did not contact until after travel was completed. At that point our ability to offer compensation is greatly limited as services were rendered in full per the Terms and Conditions. Had the client contacted us while in the destination we would have been able to immediately address their concerns to assist in rectify them. The client was issued a 4 night comp stay by the resort for the inconvenience.

 Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I never received an email or a letter. I was never told when I booked the vacation that it would be this difficult to cancel. I understand that I have a cancelation fee, but I don't understand why it's so much when I'm cancelling so far in advance. I just want my money back!!!

[redacted]

Again,CheapCaribbean.com has pursued this as far as we can with a third party in order to best assist our client. Unfortunately we cannot decide what is or is not covered under said policy being that we are not the insurer. The clients can continue to pursue this with [redacted] Insurance.
Our position at this time remains the same.
