Urgent Complaint – False Advertising and Request for Reimbursement

AI Highlights
  • - Feb 14–21, 2026 trip; Ademir & Ana Pinto; resort fell short.
  • - Beach not onsite; across crowded street; no chairs.
  • - Poor dining; left early; airfare $520.84.

This refers to a vacation package from February 14, 2026, to February 21, 2026, for Ademir Pinto and Ana Pinto (account: ad.ana.marci@***.com).

Good morning. I am extremely disappointed with the entire trip booked through Orbitz.

The property, DEJA All Inclusive Resort, is not even close to what was advertisedit is far from being a resort and does not meet basic expectations.

Here are the major issues we experienced:

The advertisement described a beach property, but there is no beach on-site. Instead, it is across a very crowded and dangerous street. The beach is public, requires an entry fee, and offers no chairs, umbrellas, drinks, or water. Activities must be paid for separately, and the beach closes at 5:30 PM daily, leaving no access afterward.

The so-called all-inclusive resort only has one overcrowded restaurant.

The food quality was extremely poor, and there were long lines for breakfast and lunch.

For dinner, we attempted to reserve the Italian Ristorante, which turned out to be just extra seating on a balcony. There was no separate kitchenone waiter simply fetched food from the buffet.

The bathroom shower drain did not work properly, adding to the discomfort.

I was scheduled to stay from February 14 to February 21 (7 days), but the conditions were so unacceptable that I could not stay beyond two days. We even had to purchase new airfare of $520.84 to leave early.

This experience was misleading and constitutes false advertising, as nothing shown on the booking page reflects reality.

I am extremely upset and will be seeking reimbursement for this vacation. Please advise on the next steps to resolve this matter promptly.

Thank you for your immediate attention.

  • Frequent exclusive deals and competitive rates for flights

I tried to book a hotel for tonight and...

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Booked for tomorrow by mistake and couldn't cancel without losing money.
  • - Orbitz canceled the booking and refunded money as a one-time exception.

I tried to book a hotel for tonight and accidentally booked it for tomorrow within 5 minutes found my error and you are not allowed to cancel and without losing all your money. This seems rather unfair.

my husband was at the hotel and they said they could not change the booking.

Took a bit to find a phone number to call but I found it and Orbitz was able to cancel my booking and refund my money as a one time exception. Thank you for your amazing customer service!

User's recommendation: I have always had great success booking with Orbitz will definitely keep using them

  • - An agent promised an email correction yesterday, but it didn't arrive.
  • - Today Randall, properly trained, resolved the issue.

Yesterday, an agent told me they made the correction and an email reflecting the change would be sent.

NONE of that happened.

I had to call back today. An agent by the name of Randall, who was properly trained, made EVERYTHING happen.

Thievery

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Charged $9 for a Stay Protection Plan advertised as $4.50.
  • - Support is hard to reach by phone.
  • - Customer is considering a class-action lawsuit.

Choose Stay Protection Plan for $4.50, and they charged me $9. Thieving bastards need a class action lawsuit, as this seems to be a standard procedure for Orbitz, which is why they make it so difficult to reach them by phone.

Class action attorneys being contacted. Only thing Orbitz is good for is giving overseas *** day jobs.

Loss:
$450
Cons:
  • Orbitz is the con
  • Thieving bastards

Preferred solution: $4.50 for charging me DOUBLE for Stay Protection Plan. Full refund and attorneys fees for class action lawsuit if money is not refunded immediately.

User's recommendation: DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! Would be zero stars if possible.

  • - Hertz posted hours were incorrect; evidence attached.
  • - Orbitz case number not shared; agent says only verbal.

The Hertz stores posted hours were incorrect. I attached pictures for evidence.

The Orbitz case number for the situation was not shared with me in the email thread, as the agent stated that they were only allowed to share it verbally. I hope that within the 72-hour follow-up deadline, Orbitz will respond and will have rectified the matter.
