The Resort Place Reviews (27)

After receiving emails for months my husband and I purchased two vacation packages from Dora Eat the resort place for I called up and said I wanted to purchase and also make a reservation She took my credit card and instead of charging the she charged and did it through Expedia She strung me along, told me every lie she could come up with and never sent me a reservation after several phone calls and emails Coming up on a week before the vacation was to happen with no communication and no one answering the phone calls I figured out she is a scam artist How awful!! Come to find out when I got my credit card bill she stole my credit card number and booked something through expedia for someone other than us

I have paid for multiple vacations only to have failure for reservations upon arrival on tripsanother trip is scheduled this month and now finding out no reservation has been made and for over weeks no one will answer the phone or call me backpeople have already purchased plane tickets for that vacationI have more vacations I purchased in advance that I can't get anything done withI've spent hours and hours on hold and sending emails hoping for a response but nothingless than a year ago I would have been all about referring this businessI'm not sure what went wrong

Dora Edmson is a scam artist if it's to good to be true it is I would strongly advise anyone who is considering going with The Resort Place travel for your next vacation DONT DO IT !!!! My family went through weeks of of pure hell filled with promises and lies that never ended with a vacation after purchasing the vouchers that Dora / The Resort Place soldI cannot stress enough that this woman and her company are filled with lies and empty promises DONT use this company

Found out about The Resort Place through a Groupon in Booked one-week vacations for $ First vacations were to be taken concurrently in Florida March 5-12, When my party arrived in Florida, Dora E., owner of The Resort Place, had "switched" our accomodations from the 2-bedroom condos we had booked to a house rental without my permission or consent When told she needed to place us back into our originally-booked condos, she told us "that will be a problem" She had already given away those reservations, thinking we would want to stay in the house instead We made her find us condos in Treasure Island, similar to what we had originally booked Instead, she found us accomodations in Madeira Beach, in a resort that was undergoing reconstruction Not only did we have to move furniture off the balconies into our units each night, listen to construction noise at am each morning, but the elevators were not working the entire time we were there Try walking up/down steps each time you needed something in your unit! We were promised by Dora, since she could find nothing better for us to stay in, that we would be refunded $for these "2" vacations and a check would be waiting for us when we returned home We returned home March and I have been calling Dora every week since then, trying to find out where our refund is She has given me a complete runaround with excuses ranging from the fact that she had been out sick from the office to she needed to check with Accounting as to why the check wasn't sent to finally: the company had made some bad vacation deals with a group of Russians who were overly demanding and as soon as they refunded all their funds she would be able to send me a check Countless other excuses were made as well All along I kept reiterating that I did not want this screwup with our Florida vacation and ensuing "nonrefund" of our $to jeopardize my final vacation In North Carolina July 29-August 6, And each time I was reassured this would not affect that and that the July vacation was already booked and accomodations would be ready and waiting for our arrival Even so, in early July, I began calling Dora DAILY, to reconfirm our vacation at the end of the month as well as to keep inquiring about our refund By July 15, I could no longer receive a live person when calling the business on of their phone lines, Only a recording saying all representatives were on other lines, please leave a message and your call will be returned The third phone line had been disconnected And, needless to say, my phone calls, text messages and emails were never returned Unwittingly trusting The Resort Place and Dora E., my group and I went ahead in March and booked an additional 3-week vacation package for for an additional $ We never should have trusted her in the first place, so now we are out $for our vacation package for AND $for another package for My group and I sincerely hope that no one else is scammed by Dora Eand the Resort Place in the future I tried calling Groupon and giving them a heato stop advertising for her but they did not seem interested in what I had to say

My wife and I bought a vacation package from Dora and Jay Eand booked two vacationsThe first one went fine and the second one was a nightmarewe showed up and nothing was paid for, she lied to us over the phone and promised us payment if we paid for it AGAIN out of our own pocket, and then on tuesday of that vacation we found out I had a pending warrant for MY arrest for theft of services be she contested the charges on the credit card from the FIRST vacation I have had hours and hours invested in defending my name because of the people These people are horrible people and I am out $from them

We purchased the vacation package from Dora Eat the Resort PlaceI received a confirmation voucher for the week in Florida Memorial Day weekend at Lands End Resort StPete's BeachUpon flying in from Colorado we had not had heard back from The Resort Place even after multiple emails, text and phone callsWe finally called from a different phone number and DORA answeredShe said, "I do not have the money to pay for your condo and have not reserved anything for you at this time." We were in Florida with no place to stay on Memorial Day weekend! I had my vouchers, reservation confirmation and credit card payment information but Lands End had not heard anything from Dora regarding booking a condo for usLuckily we were able to book a condo for the week on our own paying 5x more than expectedNot Happy! She should not be in business!!!!

I booked and paid the Resort Place for my vacation with Dora EI did this in January for June received my confirmation number from Dora for nights in Panama CityAll my family and myself packed and was loading the car( We all took off work for this vacation) I received an email stating I needed to contact The Resort Place immediatelyI tried to call numerous times no answerAnother email came saying the money they expected did not come through and they couldn't pay for my hotelThis is hours before we leaveI called and called no answerI emailed and said someone better get in touch with meI was e-mailed back that
I needed to pay ( again) the hotel if I wanted to go and they would pay me backHeck no I told them in email because no one would answer my phone callsNeedless to say we didn't go on vacationDora is a lier and a cheat My family vacation was ruined because of a scam artist Dora E

MrsEmade couple of unauthorized charges on my card after we made a booking for a cruise which she failed to provide as wellAs a result of a months runaround No refund as promised, not answering any of her phones, money gone, empty promises given instead!!! PLEASE NEVER EVER DEAL WITH A SCAMMER such as her if you value your money, health and vacation time and qualityRemember- free cheese is only in the mouse trap!!!

We had a HORRiBLE experience with Dora E.! She is unprofessional, NOT responsible, unreliable at all, always telling you she will call back, but you actually have to call her back all the timeShe is a SCAM!!! We went on vacation to Indian Shores, Florida on May 16-23, and have been moving times just for staying a week in FloridaWe booked three vouchers through December for $She told us we will stay at Palm Beach but by the time we came there all the way from Missouri there was NO office at that placeWe waited more than hour on the parking lot calling her, then she finally said she will move us to Lagacy Vacation Club for one night, because at Beach Palm they don't accept 3rd party payments ( by the way people are awesome at LVC, and a great place to stay in) Then she switch rooms for us for next 3days, we told her she should do all the way for days instead three, she said she will do it later but never didOn Friday we had to leave at 10am and still did not had another place to stayed inAll the time my sister contacted her but this time I called her and yelled at her and told to find me 2bdr Condo in 10min if she won't, I won't leave this placeFinally she did it, it took us more than hour to switch CondosWe stayed at Mdierra Bay Resort for 3days.I really LOVED Indian shore place but it was such a STRESSFUL vacation, I didn't got relaxed emotionally at all because all the time we were worried about when and where we will stayI would never suggest to book vacation through her! There is better websites and reliable to bookVrbo.com
I know alot of my friends booked through her at same time as we and had horrible experience! It's been a month and she never refund us for weeks that we didn't used, but she said she will refund all of it, and refund through money order through wallmartApparently she is waiting for money to refund , but we can't get hold of her at allWe called to credit card and report as fraud! They said they will refund everything back

This place is a SCAM I purchases a buy one get one free vacation We took the first vacation in and it wasn't a pleasant experience The 2nd vacation is the one I have the issue with I booked out vacation in December for May I was sent a link to view a cabin and was ask if that cabin would work for me It told them yes it looked great to go ahead and book One month before time for us to leave I looked on the cabin rental website and noticed it was still show available So I emailed them to make sure everything was ok I had to send different emails before I received a response that everything was ok and that they had us booked into the cabin The Monday before we leave I hadn't received any info so I emailed and didn't get a response so I called and was told by Dora that they do cabin assignments on Thursday and that I would have the info I needed that morning Thursday came around and I didn't have the information so I called back She told me that they were working on them and that I would have it that afternoon Well I still didn't have it so I called Thursday night and was rudely told that I would have it in the morning that they were waiting on the lady to call them back from the cabin rental to give them the info Friday morning the morning we are leaving I called her at 7:because I didn't have an information on where I was going She told me that she wasn't in the office yet to go ahead and head out that she would call me and give me the info once she got to the office that they had everything taken care of She never called so when we arrived in Gatlinburg I called her and she said I told you that check in isn't until 4:so I will get you the info before then I told her that I needed to know where I was going so I could head in that direction She said they had an issue with their payment not going thru and she had to make a phone call to the lady and pay it again that she would call me right back She didn't call so my husband and I had to call back to back to get her to answer the phone She said that they lost the cabins due to their payment not going thru and that the were looking for another one for us she gave us every excuse she could think of hung up on me twice and finally my husband told her that if she didn't find us a place she would be contacted by our lawyer Well she still didn't call so we had to find a place for people on Memorial Day weekend which wasn't easy After we found a place my husband sent her a text because she still had not called us back and told her that she now owed us $dollars that we had contacted our lawyer and how sorry it was of her not to had the decency to tell us from the beginning that she didn't have a place for us to stay She called back and said for us to send the receipt for our hotel and that they would reimburse us I'm currently waiting in that to happen If you are reading this please do not use this company it will ruin your vacation They are not a good business and I believe they steal peoples money and place the blame on someone else

Purchased a travel voucher through what was crowd cut for a weeks stay for a bedroom condo directly on the beach in FloridaThis voucher was through resort place travelBooking the condo went smoothlyWhen we got to Florida and were in our car on our way to our condo we got a call from Dora stating they had overbooked the condo and had to move us to another placeIt was my birthday and we had our two young children with usThat was fine except she didn't call us back for hoursSo here we are sitting on the beach waiting for her to call us back, having no idea on a place to stayFinally she found a place for us but it was a hotel room with two double beds for nights, not a one bedroom condo for nightsdays later she put us in a really nice resort directly on the beach and said everything would be paid forWell we got the $bill on our credit card for the night stay at this last resortCalled to resolve the issue with the resort and they told us they could not refund us because the card that Dora had given them declinedWe called Dora and she said she would refund us for the $It's been a month dealing with Dora and the resort place to get our money backWe keep calling and talking to her and she keeps promising the check is in the mail, yet it never comesIf I had known I had to pay for my stay I would not have chosen a place that would cost us $a nightThat was not in our families budget at allI would highly recommend everyone to stay away from this businessThey have horrible customer service and keep telling you liesIt's a complete scam!

The company is completely unprofessional They accept your money, via credit card, answer your questions until the payment is cleared, then ignore all other requests I'm currently in dispute with my credit card company to retrieve a refund from The Resort Place DON'T DO IT!

I have been using the Resort Place for the past two years Dora has been very professional and accommodating The establishments that she has booked for us have exceeded our expectations I would definitely recommend The Resort Place

Don't work with Dora

Please stay away from Dora and Resort TravelShe never came throughShe took the money and then we still had to pay out of pocket for the vacationShe did promise to return money paid out of pocket however that payment was cancelled "due to insufficient funds" So we paid double
I called her multiple times, emailed her, texted her - there's no responseWe are filing another complaint with attorney general in Arkansas (her location)
PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM HER - you will have a vacation from hell
If something sounds to good to be true - its BECAUSE IT IS

Dora is a liar. When we tried to check out of our resort, they charged our card FULL PRICE! For 6 weeks she told us "tomorrow, tomorrow I'll send you the money" She made up ALL kinds of excuses like her account was hacked and she "forgot" to tell us. I call 50 times every day and when she actually picks up, she makes up another excuse. Today it was that she had to make a new account to send me a check. DONT RESERVE FROM HERE UNDER any CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!

I have paid for multiple vacations only to have failure for reservations upon arrival on 2 trips. another trip is scheduled this month and now finding out no reservation has been made and for over 3 weeks no one will answer the phone or call me back. 7 people have already purchased plane tickets for that vacation. I have 3 more vacations I purchased in advance that I can't get anything done with. I've spent hours and hours on hold and sending emails hoping for a response but nothing. less than a year ago I would have been all about referring this business. I'm not sure what went wrong.

My family, my friends and I reserved and paid for our vacation at Mexico. Paid the amount of money that The Resort Place was selling them for. Then day before our departure day, I received a phone call from Dora and she said that she can't pay for our vacation because she has some problems with her bank account. Dora E. asked us to take our credit cards and pay the amount at the resort just in case the payment is not going to go thru. The whole vacation was we tried to call her and asked her to pay and she didn't. All he time she said I m trying. Never called us to tell what was going on, we always had to call her from Mexico. Then she paid some of the amount. When we came back she told us that she will pay the rest and until this day she didn't pay us back the sum a little over 2,500 dollars. I call her some times a couple times a week and she tells me that she will pay and I dont get anything from her. Please help me out. I don't know what else I can do. The whole group was so unsatisfied with this vacation trip plus she still owe us money!! Also she gave us vacation vouchers for future trips. If she can't pay us what she owe us, how can she lie and say that she will give us free vacation. Every week I call her and she lies that she will pay and it never happened since November 2015 and now is April 2015.

Dora is a lier!
Never use this agency!!!
I did once and I had a worse experience ever.
Hotel was not booked... I did noticed them 2 month ahead.
After my stay hotel charged me for whole stay.
Agency never answer to my questions and never pay me back.

BAD, BAD, BAD!!!

I have purchased a vacation package (3 weeks of vacation) from Resort Place.
The Resort Place let me to use only a half of it.
CEO (Dora E.) promised to give me a 50% refund. It's been over 2 months, and all of my calls and email attempts to contact them are being ignored.
These people are liars and scammers.
