Ramada Plaza Resorts Vacations
Another ripoff

I originally signed up for a resort vacation in 2001 with Ramada Plaza Resorts. The offer included 7 nights accomodation in Florida, split between Ft. Lauderdale and Orlando. I paid a down payment by credit card of $398. I booked the trip for July 18-27 of paying a total cost of $898.

Because a two-legged trip would be too difficult for us to accomplish, I repeatedly insisted on a full stay in Orlando. They finally agreed. The sales reps would not verify the exact location of the hotel. When I insisted during several phone calls, they finally gave me two different addresses saying we would be located at one of the two. Both are really nice hotels.

I had talked to at least six different sales reps; I made well over 20 calls between April 1 and June 30. After I booked the trip, they sent me an itinerary listing our travel dates and the hotel address. They booked us at an entirely different hotel (Amerihost Resort) than the ones they had promised us.

After hearing from others that Ramada Plaza Vacations was scamming people, I went to the internet and typed in the words scam and rip-off and sure enough RPV was all over the screen. I contacted them on Thursday, June 26 and told them I wanted my full refund. I spoke with 3 different people during my call (after being put on hold for over 15 minutes). I was told I could only get a partial refund of the amount I paid for the extra 4 days.

I am filing a complaint with the Arkansas Attorney General, seeking a full refund of every dollar Ive paid these people. Why should they be enriched when what they are selling are LIES. The hotel they booked us in is a far cry from the ones they promised. The video they sent when I originally made a down payment on this package promised a fun-fill vacation is a lavish resort. Amerihost is a dump!

In the end we had to book accommodations at a completely different hotel, Hawthorn Suites (which is a full suite with two queen beds, separate living room, and full kitchen over 600 square feet). We paid $969 for a 10 night stay at Hawthorn. Far far better accommodations than the sleezy hotel RPV booked us in and we only paid a few dollars more.

If you'd like to view the hotels I am referring to, simply key in the following information in your search engine:
1. Ramada Plz Rsrt E Univ Studios
2. Ramada Plaza Inn Hotel - Gateway
3. Amerihost Resort

See if you can figure out the difference between the first two and the last one.

I encourage everyone who has been scammed by these people to file a complaint with the your state's Attorney General. I quarantee you yours will not be the first complaint they have on file.in my opinion, these people are flagrant crooks and they deserve to be stopped!
