    Do not worry you don't have to get a double bed room.. I have booked this category with Alpharooms twice so far.. And haven't had a double bed room yet.. I actually got the room I wanted both times.. No issues..

    P.S- I miss my Laura and Will hugs!!!! xoxoxoxoxox

    I've been in contact with IMS and got this today. Its really what I expected had happened.

    Hey Will,Yes I will explain, we had an internal pricing issue when the*information was uploaded to advertisement should have been double*checked.* The $99 is the cost of an additional adult, not a per night*cost, however we did not catch this until about 6 days later after*advertising.* By Fun and Sun Getaways not being able to full fill your*reservation we had no choice but to refund the original purchase price.**On behalf of Fun and Sun Getaways, I would like to give you a 5 night 6*day promotional package, it will be All Inclusive stay at the Villa Del*Palmar in Cancun, Cabo San Lucas or Puerto Vallarta, you may choose*which destination you would like to stay.Again, on behalf of Fun and Sun Getaways I sincerely apologize for any*inconvenience

    from another CCC member to me for info

    I have blanked out the name to keep it anonymous as I am not sure of the privacy issues. Here is the correspondence back and forth. Yeah at least it is the same excuse now, but it seems but they are all over the board as to what they are willing to do about the matter. Judge for yourself.



    Since the last posting of my run in's with them they have not responded other than to the BBB so I have also filed with the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and also Federal Trade Commission.



    Hello ****,

    I have apologized to several client's for the internal pricing issue, however Fun and Sun Getaways is not taking your money and not returning, nor did Fun and Sun Getaways make a fraudulent charge on your Credit Card. At the moment notice of price discrepancy Fun and Sun made several attempts to contact each individual try to accommodate to different hotel or alternate package, if Fun and Sun could not full-fill the obligation we had no choice but FULLY refund your Card. This is NOT something Fun and Sun intentionally did, it was a MISTAKE with internal pricing issue that should have been checked before it was advertised, however it was not. The IMPORTANT issue at hand is making sure that your card was FULLY refunded, because Fun and Sun Getaways could not full-fill your package. The price should have been $99.00 for additional Adult, not per night.

    On Behalf of Fun and Sun Getaway's I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience,

    Waylon


    to WAYLON


    Waylon, I can't say thank you for the email. What I can tell you is I don't believe what Fun and Sun has done to countless individuals is right. I, and others, are getting in touch with as many people we can to change this outcome. We are seeking legal advise from both the state of Florida and Louisiana and many consumer protection groups. Fun and Sun offered a price and we feel that price should be honored by Fun and Sun. Many have changed plans already, therefore, the original price should be at a date of our choosing.


    ****

    Just a FYI - it seems that they have been pulling the same stunt for a long time - I just looked back at a Web Archive snapshot of their site for 2011

    http://web-beta.archive.org/web/20110425233944/http://temptationscancun.net/

    and guess what they are offering a special "today only" price for a 5day/4night package at Temptation for $399
    (Price is per room, not per person)- which ---- wait for it ----- strangely works out to about $99 per night for the room.
    I guess they have been having pricing mistakes for quite a few years.

    More bullshit from Fun & Sun:

    One of their reviews:
    Trip Advisor, May 6 2010
    Another review:
    Trip Advisor, April 30 2010
    Another review:
    Trip Advisor, May 6 2010
    There are more. These are posted under "Our Reviews".
    Fun and Sun Scam

    Only two options: Either they are pretending to be the official hotel site, or they are pretending that the reviews are from their clients. Not one of the TA reviews mentions booking through sun and fun, so one can only presume the reviews didnt come from their own customers and they want to trick people into thinking they are booking with the resort directly.

    They just copy and pasted a bunch of reviews from anyone on Trip Advisor over a short period of time (when they set up their site) and passed them off as an endorsement.

    I don't know why Temptation let this go, I know I wouldn't. These kind of people give honest website owners a bad rep.

    I'm going to change the title of this thread from

    FUN AND SUN GETAWAYS $99/nt.... CAUTION!
    to
    FUN AND SUN GETAWAYS SCAM CANCUN

    It will help with search engine positions.

    They have to be kidding if they think people will accept their "free" trip offer. I was surprised I even got a response from IMS. By the way my credit card charges were credited back yesterday
