              Unresolved
              We stayed at the TradeWinds Resort from 04/25-04/29. We booked this resort based on the amenities advertised on their website. They advertised access to the Rum Fish resort- which includes a fish touch tank, aquarium, beach side amenities , pool, and restaurants to name a few.Upon getting to the resort and for the entire stay access to the Rum Fish resort- which includes a fish touch tank, aquarium, beach side amenities , pool, and restaurants was completely blocked off from guests. They rented over 50% of their resort to a private guest. TradeWinds advertised many many amenities and did not give any guests access to them. They did not tell guests ahead of time that more than 50% of the resort would be closed to guests. They took over $650 a night from guests and then did not offer another near what they advertised. Completed false advertising and rip off.

              I cancelled a reservation with them for a full refund which they claim to have issued and did not. I have sent all of my proof to their accounting department that now blames the credit card processing company for not batching on that particular date. I have been given the go round for almost a month now and they have so nothing. They owe me $849.
