Scam Rip Off

Dear Melinette,

You are correct. As advertised on our website, the resort is “Oceanfront.” The rooms are not advertised as being “Ocean View.”

As with any purchase, if it is not indicated that taxes are included, it is understood that taxes will be added to the advertised price.

You can save up to 80% of the retail rate on the promotional packages because the resorts are subsidizing the cost of the vacation in exchange for meeting the eligibility requirements and attending the resort preview.

It is the participating resort provider who provides the limited number of rooms offered under the promotion. Any upgrades can be discussed directly with the resort when you check-in.

Your package is not refundable because you declined the Trip Guard Insurance which is offered for every purchase. This insurance would have allowed you to cancel up to 14 days prior to your scheduled travel dates and receive a full refund with no questions asked.

Since the insurance was declined, the purchase is final and non-refundable. If you decide to cancel your scheduled reservation, you will receive a store credit for the full amount you paid.

Please feel free to call 888.845.0602 if you have any questions or would like more information.

Thank you for choosing BookVIP.

Enjoy your vacation!

Made reservation over the phone. We thought we were getting an Ocean Front room.

We paid $349 plus an additional $80 in tax a fees. When we read the fine print that said receptionist Ocean Front and not Ocean View, which apparently means something different. I can get the same room for $92 a night and not have to pay an extra $30 in online 3rd party booking fees.

When we call them three times they told us too bad they couldnt upgrade our room or get a refund. I paid about $100 more than I should have in addition to having to attend a time share briefing.

We were able to do an all inclusive package

Bookvip - We were able to do an all inclusive package
Thanks to Bookvip.com, we are out here in Cabo San Lucas at this wonderful resort called the Villa del Palmar. There is wonderful views all around us. We saved a lot of money thanks to Bookvip. We were able to do an all inclusive package for two of us for only $199.00 for five days and it would normally cost like $1,500.00 per person so we saved a lot of money. The rooms were very beautiful and cheap. I recommend Bookvip.com.

We’re here at Morritts Tortuga Club in Grand Cayman. It’s been beautiful. The weather has been wonderful. It’s in a great area so it really secluded. There has not been a lot of people and we have been hanging out at this really beautiful infinity pool and the pool bar and that beautiful beach, all week. Trust me, you want to get like me.

Bookvip - We easily saved over $1,700.00
We are here at the Westgate Town Center in Orlando, Florida. We’re having an amazing time. We easily saved over $1,700.00 by booking with Bookvip. We came to the waterpark yesterday. The kids had an amazing time. We did the lazy river as a family. The little one was all into it, even the teenager was excited. After that, we did the paddleboating on the swan. The whole family loved it. The grounds was terrific, they treated us terrific, customer service was amazing. We will definitely book again. We saved some great money off an internet ad I didn’t even believe. I was skeptical but we had a great time.

Worst company ever. They hardly speak english.

from 599.00 it went to 1800.00??? Everytime I spoke to them there was another charge. Their website has wrong info on it. Then after I paid with my credit card, a month later she had no record of it.

They dont know what they are talking about.

Liars and fraudulent . Beware.

Hello Kathleen,

We are pleased that once we became aware of your issue, you were contacted by our
General Manager and we were able to book you in a resort that you chose and are
happy with.

You can save up to 83% of the retail rate on the promotional packages because the
resorts are subsidizing the cost of the vacation in exchange for meeting the eligibility
requirements and attending the resort preview.

It is the participating resort provider who sets forth the eligibility requirements - not
BookVIP.
 
BookVIP is a booking company and it is our job to ensure that guests are qualified for
the limited number of promotional packages being offered by the resort
providers.  The eligibility requirements for each promotional package can be viewed
on BookVIP’s website at the bottom of each resort offering page by clicking on the
Terms and Conditions.

Thank you for choosing BookVIP.

Enjoy your vacation!

11/14BookVIP.com reached out to me and fully resolved my complaint with great customer service. The rules around who "may" be eligible to receive a discount offer based on age or marital status is NOT defined by BookVIP.com but the hosting resorts. They were great at helping me re-book to a great location that doesn't have similar restrictions on Marital Status.

Original review posted by user Nov 13, 2019

So I posted, but it didn't appear so guess you are filtering this.

I purchased a package with upgrades, but when I tried to book I was told I was ineligible unless I was bringing a family member or live in partner.

I was bringing a boyfriend.

I was unable to book the vacation I paid for, and only offered credit.

Misleading sales practices

Dear Erin,

We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns.

The original package that you purchased does not require attendance at a sales presentation. However, the all-inclusive upgrade options you chose do require all guests to attend a presentation (as stated in the Reservation Details you agreed to in writing when you booked your dates).

All charges were fully refundable, until you booked your dates and completed the booking process.

Our promotional packages are amazingly affordable because the participating resort provider is paying the 83% discount, in exchange for all guests attendance at the 90-120 minute resort presentation. The preview is designed to be fun and informative.

To ensure that these rooms are available to the customers for whom they were intended, the participating resort provider – not BookVIP - sets forth certain eligibility requirements.

All requirements can be viewed on our website under the Terms and Conditions tab located on every resort offering page.

The Terms and Conditions are reviewed with the customer during the sales call and the customer must agree to them in writing by electronic signature, before any reservation is final and the travel dates sent to the resort.

The Reservation Details are clear and concise and include any additional taxes and/or resort fees which may be asked by a particular resort – including the $29 per night fee you reference.

Happily, we were able to contact you and you have agreed to cancel your dates in exchange for a store credit while you review other offers that were presented to you.

Bookvip - Misleading sales practices

I purchased a package that said "No Timeshare Presentation Required!". I upgraded when prompted in the sales process and was not informed before my credit card was charged that my whole party would actually have to attend a sales presentation.

When I called to make the reservation the slars agent informed me that I would have to qualify for and attend a sales presentation and pay an additional $29 a night.

This was disappointing since that is not what I purchased and my credit card had already been charged but I did qualify on my own and she said that my guest did not need to qualify.

When the resort called to confirm the reservation they gave me different information and said that everyone in the party regardless of qualification had to attend the presentation; for a package that was advertised as "no timeshare presentation required".

Please honor what you advertised and sold! I am willing to meet you halfway and have 1 qualfied adult attend the full presentation.
