I got to the resort arround 7pm they couldn't find my reservation and didn't want to give me a room until I gave them $200 cash depisit. Then they gave me the room and sometime arround 11pm they called to say my deposit was available to be picked up. The reservation came through. If I didn't have cash on me I wouldn't have gotten the room and would have waited till 11pm. Now the place is not as advertised. It's in horrible condition. Rooms were dirty and the whole place looked beaten up by time. It is nothing like the pictures and It's not a 10-20% difference in pictures but more like a 60% difference for the worse.
I had to sleep there because it was already too late and the next day which is July4th we checked out. We left in the morning to look at places and found one so we came back arround 3:30pm to get our stuff back and left.
I really hope that you guys can do something about the remaining two days that we paid for and havent used. At least a credit that we can use somewhere else. Order ID TH*******.
Due to the Covid19 Pandemic I had to cancel my reservation to Cancun for mid August to attend my son's wedding. I tried to call and was told to cancel via email.
I request the cancellation via email and thenreceived an email told me I would be charged $124.20, so I asked for a phone call to explain.
I then received another email as follows - copied and pasted verbatim:
Dear Rick,
Please note that your reservation has been cancelled as per the following policy:
* If you change or cancel your booking between 4/14/2020 12:00 AM and 8/5/2020 11:59 PM, you will be charged a fee of US$124.20
* If you change or cancel your booking after 8/6/2020 12:00 AM, you will be charged a fee of 100%
Many Thanks,
Chris Taylor
Hotel Consultant

I then replied to mention it would be good customer service to call a customer when they ask and not just quote policy in an email.
So far no response.
I will now dispute the charge with American Express.
Its sad when companies like this take advantage and gouge their clients during events beyond our control.
Never again will i use Travel Up...

Change or cancel fee from when you made booking? No toll free #, can't speak to a person. Will think twice before I would use you again.
Good morning,

Very easy, but it took 20 minutes for my booking to be confirmed. May have been the connection on my end. Other than that, no problems.
Good morning,
Thank you so much for your review.
We really appreciate your feedback. It means a lot to us and our entire team!

The process seems very shady. The confirmations are not immediate so it is stressful waiting to find out if you sent your money down a black hole.
Can't download and print voucher! Tried multiple times. Redirected to other sites. Please correct or tell me how to do it

This was my first time giving it a try and would be my last. Horrible system issue & customer service to having to wait 3 days to resolve my issue and get my hotel confirmation that I already paid. Your system booked me a Hotel I didn't even looked or click for. My hotel I was booking was Krystal Cancun & booked me with Oasis. I don't even know where it got this. I have screen shots of proof of my selections and as I got the confirmation noticed the name of hotel was different called right way after and they couldn't resolve my issue. Your customer service keeps answering the leaving me hold for long times & disconnecting as I have called several times & the few that answer they just keep saying they will get back to me by email. They just keep tossing the ball for this past 3 days. Saying admin will handle that issue that it's not there department that all is resolved by email. So my question to U and CEO is why u hired this people if they can't resolve booking issues & 2nd why do you sell in USA if they don't have a manager in USA to answer for escalations. Why u offer services your people can't resolve nor trained for. I even asked for a response by email to admin twice never heard back from them till this day and time. What kind of employees you hire to give the worst customer experience that is how businesses close for not training or having the customer satisfaction from customers. I am going to send this to make people about this company horrible customer service and having my money and not responding that's like a scam company.
My helper Eric was amazing. He was super helpful and helping us book with no hassle. Made the process stress free
Terrible company, terrible customer service!
Avoid at all costs.
Do not use it for the sake of saving a few bucks
The hotel did not have the reservation on file. This site is fraud and I had to purchase a new room.

Answer: Hopeless. They don't reply to emails. Can't get through on the phone. Useless. Better to forget about them and lose the stress. Have accepted I'll never see my money again.
Answer: Good morning, we can see that one of the team has responded to your email this morning and sent over a payment link for your balance. Kind Regards, TravelUp Team
Answer: Good afternoon, Yes we are a legitimate site. If you have any questions please do let us know! Kind Regards, Travelup Team
Good afternoon, Sanjin.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and frustration you experienced during your stay.
We understand how upsetting it must have been to arrive at your resort and face issues with your reservation, the condition of the property, and the need to provide a cash deposit. This is certainly not the seamless experience we strive to provide for our customers.
At TravelUp, we are committed to ensuring our customers have a positive travel experience. We will escalate this matter to our supplier to address the discrepancies between the advertised and actual conditions of the resort.
In the meantime, please email us at hotels@travelup.com with your booking details, including your Order ID (TH*******), so we can take the necessary action. We will do our best to resolve this situation, including addressing the two unused days you paid for.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. We look forward to assisting you further.
Best regards,
TravelUp.
