Cheap Caribbean's airport transfer - Complaint

Review by traveleverywhere on 2009-08-26

I booked a vacation through Cheap Caribbean at the Iberostar Paraiso Maya Resort in Mexico (June 2009). The resort was wonderful! Cheap Caribbean was not. I requested (and was told I was getting) private transfer from the airport for a price of $180. (Their invoice after booking only gives the bundled price of your package; it does not break down hotel and transportation). We arrived at the Cancun Airport and there was NO transportation arranged for us. None. We went from one customer service person to the next. Four total -- while we waited in the heat with our luggage. Each consulted their clipboard and came up empty, and then directed us to the next person, who also came up empty. I used my cellphone to call their "in-country customer service representative" (an expensive international call) but she told us we should just get on the group shuttle that stops at every person's hotel -- since that would be the fastest way, at that point, to get us to our hotel. We took that cattle car ONE WAY and took a private taxi back to the airport. They refunded exactly $46.50. Total ripoff! My name is Dawn Kanarish, and I will never use Cheap Caribbean again.
