Oceanside Adventures — Hotel in Carolina

Misleading Listing – Location Is NOT in Carolina as Advertised

I booked this property through American Express Travel, which listed it as being in Carolina, Puerto Rico. However, the property is located in Loíza, over 40 minutes away from where it was advertised. This misrepresentation completely disrupted my travel plans.

I paid $9K USD for 9 nights and a family of 7, including my 81 year old mother in law whose birthday we went to celebrate, only to be met with a place that I didn't book and to be asked to pay more money for some place called Aquatika that was run down and nasty.

Expedia is refusing to refund me until they speak to the landlord who is a scammer. What a total joke. There is no law protecting people like us who continue to be at risk because no one cares. I hope someone with a legal background will take this case and get this scammer to pay for...

This place is a scam! The location doesn’t exist. Booked it through Expedia and they weren’t much help at all. Plus the owner wanted payments to be wired before arriving even though no deposit was required from...
