After months of planning and communicating with the property manager, on the day we fly in, this property manager is MIA!! This sucks because we lost so much money and only time will tell if we will recoup any of it. Is there anything that would make me feel better at this point. Let me think a moment. NO!!! I've used the internet to reserve rooms plenty of times and really had no red flags about doing it with this property. Unless it is somewhere I've stayed before and know that the stay turned out great, I am sticking to hotels. There's a better chance of resolving issues with a hotel than with some total stranger that possibly lives on the other side of the world.
I'm sure this property manager lives in HELL and I hope he rots there. Scamming people out of thousands of dollars is sooooo not cool. I believe in karma and he will get what's coming to him. Fortunately for us after filing a police report, the officer recommended a nearby hotel that will do for now. It has to do for now because we planned on a one week stay.
So I'll end this positively. It could have been worse, we still have our health and we have a clean, comfortable place to stay. Yeah we shelled out a few more bucks but in the end I know that we will prevail and recoup the lost dollars from the "planned' vacation.
Here's to everyone to enjoy their week and I will do the same!

I hope he rots in hell too.
ReplyDeleteHope you can recoup your money. Enjoy your vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt's been a few weeks since vacation and we are nicely settled in at home. I have not spoken directly to the Detective but I have my police report and we are constantly playing phone tag. I am happy to report that it has not fallen off the radar and progress is being made. I won't recoup any funds anytime soon but hopefully others will not fall victim to his crap!
