Do NOT use islandsaccommodations.com if you want to keep your money! I am a US tourist who got scammed by this agency into sending money to them and booking a vacation deal in Bohol. Upon arrival to Bohol, the agency informed us that they were not able to follow up and book the hotel for us. This is the night before our vacation was supposed to start! After continuous calls to this agency and false promises of a refund, they had not returned the money. Do not use to book travel. Individuals who I dealt with at this agency were John Levi Santiago and Ivy Lorraine Murillo.

I dont think Islandsacommodations.com would reccommoend a resort/hotel that is awful as what you have said.

The rate you gave to the travel agency is just enough for Olman’s.

I dont think you have to blame the agency, you have to blame yourself for that.

my experience with regards to a request for refund due to cancellation have been different though. I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ALTERNATIVE ACCOMMODATION & I WAS NOT GIVEN A REFUND. i know the policies before hand though, when you cancel during your stay it’s 100% cancellation charge.

at least the agency you booked in cared enough to try and fix your problem. while i… i wont even begin to tell you how messed up one of my holidays have been because all the agency could say it was something beyond their control… to top it with cherry, the flight I took was one from Cebu Pacific and i had problems with that as well.

let’s just say, next time it would be helpful to go to http://www.tripadvisor.com prior to any trips to some how get the pros & cons of a holiday choice.

i have booked thru a different travel agencies and every travel agencies has their cancellation policy, the good thing happened their was the agency provided you an alternate accommodation and i think that was a good move. i have this experience when i booked through http://www.alltravelspots.com and it was a disaster. we arrived at the resort without a reservation and same with you we fought till the agency fix it and we ended up taking the rooms that we didn’t booked and no refund has been made.

To be fair with the islandsaccommodations.com i have booked to this agency and they give me a good service fair enough to see the smile of my girlfriend contented with the tour and accommodation that we had.

well there are other travel agencies like

wowphilippines.com
travel-agency-philippines.com
scorpiotravel.com

and there should be more.

but here is my advice, try to get in contact with the hotel directly, get the infos from them directly and book the rooms yourself.

or

if you must go through a travel agency…don’t book your complete vacation yet. book for 1 or 2 nights just to see if you like that hotel and the place becuase if not you can move out. There should aways be other hotels around in the area you choose to spend your holiday in.
