Royal Elite at Sandos Resorts - Vacation Club Membership scam
My husband and I bought a membership with Royal Elite at Sandos Playacar in Cancun, Mexico. We were promised all sorts of services and amenities. Nothing about the membership that was represented to us has been true. We were scammed out of thousands of dollars and have nothing to show for it but heartache. When you contract with Royal Elite you also are...

On January the 7th I attended cycle-fest USA at our coliseum convention center in town. First of all let me just tell you that cycle-fest is a joke, do not waste your $12. But the real reason I come here is because of the scam that I and many others were faced with before we even entered the convention. We were all given a registration slip to register for...

Purchased on Living Social escapes for $569. Everytime you called the listed number you got a lady who said she's taking messages because the Reps were busy with other callers.

If you wish to get nickle and dimed to death on your vacation, I highly recommend Kings Creek Resort on Kentucky Lake. They advertise rates based on 4 people on their website, then when you get there they charge you and extra $15 bucks per person over two people. Why would I rent a larger cabin with 4 beds if I only had two people? After we paid our extra...

After traveling with CIE Tours for the past ten years -- sometimes twice a year -- my wife and I had a trip canceled. At first they refused to give my travel agent a reason. They offered to put us on a "Pub Tour." This didn't work for us since I'm asthmatic and Irish pubs are very smoky. I finally called and after many long waits got to talk to a...
