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.

Great Deal
May 7, 2018

Great deal for vacation. I'm not happy having to pay extra for resort fees or having to sit through a 120 minute presentation.

Wouldn't have booked if I had known, ur website where I booked is misleading. Of course I didn't want to lose my money used to reserve. I hope the Amazon card is not misleading too

When i first booked this, there was nothing saying it was a time share promotion, that you had to be married, had to make a certain amount, etc. Should have been upfront because I wouldn't have booked it, but I am not going to lose my money so I will sit through the presentation and just endure the boredom.

First trip out of the states. Paid extra for the transport to and from the airport which was well worth it. Attended a presentation the first morning Transportation was provided as was explained prior too. The Daily Resort fee was explain prior too. Did not pay for internet due to we have unlimited data plan which worked fine. Book excursions from the concierge which was a great time. Cannot beat the all inclusive meals and beverages including your alcohol! Overall we had a fantastic time, can't say there were any hidden fees that were explained beforehand even tips and gratuities included, although we still tipped at our meals! And would go again definitely!

The people are easy to get in touch with and hassle free booking could haven't been any easier. The only thing is that it took a little while to receive a confirmation number

You need to put ON YOUR FRONT PAGE the requirement to go to a presentation instead of slim-balling and hiding that fact deep in your terms.

False advertisement
April 27, 2018

We were never told when we bought our package that we were going to attend a seminar or some kind of presentation OK so thats false advertisement now all the sudden we investigated and everybodys telling us that we would have to attend some kind of a presentation in order to get this package so that is very wrong on your part
