BookVIP Reviews Summary

The company has garnered a mixed reputation, with significant concerns overshadowing positive experiences. Customers frequently report issues with booking processes, payment rejections, and unresponsive customer service, leading to frustrations and perceptions of a scam. Many reviews highlight a lack of transparency regarding terms and conditions, often resulting in unexpected fees and limitations on travel packages. Conversely, some customers have praised the overall quality of their trips and the value for money when services function as promised. However, the predominant sentiment indicates a need for improved communication and customer support to enhance trust and satisfaction.

A wonderful time
April 6, 2018

My wife and I had a great time. The hotel accommodations were wonderful. I would not be adverse to using BookVIP for my next vacation! My only issue was that I wish we had booked a hotel on the strip to alleviate the need for having a car.

Everyday when me and myself walked down to exit the resort we were hustled into talking to the timeshare employees. But they ask have you received your free gifts for your kids! Or have you received your free vacation vouchers. They were very rude and pretty much step in front of you. Besides them the resorts and locations are great

We had a fantastic time at Villa del Palmar March 18-24,2018. Can't say enough about how wonderful the resort is. It's situated right near the beach; we just used our screen door and heard the waves every night. The meals and entertainment were all-inclusive and all were wonderful. And we loved being right on the beach. I really don't have anything negative to say - at all! They had several different restaurants including "Bella California" which was outdoors overlooking the beach - and there was plenty of shade available. We had a fantastic breakfast buffet there every morning with almost anything you can think of including waffles, freshly-made crepes, omelet station, fresh fruit, etc. At night, it is nearly magical near the sea.

The resort also has an indoor "sports bar/restaurant" and the food was great and variable. There was a taco stand outdoors as well as a small sushi place. And, of course, waiters were around to pools to get you anything to eat or drink.

Every night there was a different form of entertainment: one night was 4 male tenors, one night was Mama Mia, Hollywood night, etc. The best was "Michael Jackson" - the impersonator was so amazing - as good - or better than the real thing! I also loved that the buffet each night went along somewhat with the theme, e.g. tenor night had Italian food; Mama Mia was mediterranean.

Every single person was very nice and accommodating.

Our time-share presentation included a wonderful breakfast and short tour of Villa del Arco which was nearby. Our time share person was very nice and did not put pressure on us to buy.

So, all in all, such a great weak at an extreme bargain!

Hello Lux,

Thank you for your feedback. The reason all our first time visitor promotional packages are up to 80% off the retail rate is because the resorts sponsoring the discounted rate in exchange foe rmeeig the eligibility requirements and attending the resort preview. The only issues we have is when customers have tried to circumvent the resort's requirements. We have sent over 100,000 people on vacations this year and have more actual customer testimonial reviews than any other travel web site http://bookvip.com/sitereviews. You can contact me directly at [email protected] so can look into your issue.

Here is video explaining How BookVIP Works And Why We Are Able To Offer Packages At 80% Off

Here is a link to over 26,000 past BookVIP customers saying we are the best while on enjoying their vacation
