      Complaint Type:
      Product Issues
      Status:
      Answered
      On June 29, 2023 I booked a room using a agent representing vacation express. We were to arrive August 11,2023 and check out August 14,2023. I contacted the agent to cancel my booking as I was hospitalized and unable to travel per my doctor. The company makes it impossible to cancel the booking if you used their representative. So I had a ******************************* reach out to me via email and requested my documentation that I was hospitalized. This has been sent and Im being told I cant have my refund even though I had the insurance. Im told the agent waited too late to cancel my booking. Which is untrue as I also have messages from her. Im told he can issue a travel voucher to be used. Im still unable to travel as Im injured so there is no way I can travel. I would like my refund of ****** as thats why I purchased the insurance to begin with. They have predatory practices. ****** said the travel agent isnt a representative of theirs just somebody who can use their name to book and they arent responsible for her. Yet confirmed in the email that I would not have been able to make changes. What sense does this make. This is very poor customer service and false advertising

      Hotel room had roaches.. we were told after 3rd day they would move ** after agent called. . I asked for refund for 3 days and they said it had to cone from hotel..hotel said it had to cone from vacation express. No one responded since . The room had so many holes in it ! Flights were all delayed thru american ..missed connecting flight and had to pay for another hotel until next flight arrived...These trips cost far more in long run..don't be fooled by these "deals."
