what a scam.... sent in a request for a reservation in June, asked for a penthouse room and with crt cash discount.... was sent back a reply with a rate higher than mentioned in this promotion as well as no mention of this promotion. Guess I will keep my reservation I have elsewhere!

Sorry there was some confusion on your request. I went back and checked and you origionally reguested a room on May 5th and the Promotion was posted on May 6th. Of coarse we would honor the June Special. We have been sponsers of CRT for over 5 Years and have NEVER not honored a promotion, That being said we have made mistakes. Feel free to contact me directly tomorrow after 12 to talk to me directly.

For all CRT members - please ask for the promotion when reserving a room.

Matt
Hotel La Amistad


When I asked you to confirm the price on the 7th, you told me $139 a night was the CRT cash discount.

You did not talk to me and the only request for a penthouse on the 6th was answered at 6.47 am. The next day we recieved a request for photos of the room. I am sorry that you had/having problems with the reservation process. I invite you to talk to me directly on Monday. The Front desk can give you my direct line or you can leave your number and I will call you.

unfortunately CRgolfer does not have the capacity to reason beyond his limited belief system

he believes that for some obscure system

you were trying to scam him

and instead of allowing the business( that has been a CR sponsor for a few years now and a pretty solid reputation )

the benefit of the doubt he chose to post on this board that you guys were trying to scam him

sounds logical :)

me personally let him stay somewhere else.

I will be back in CR mid June so i will have no choice but to take advantage of this great promo.

how long will this go on???

thanks

I used to be a VIP for about 3 years. During the real good ole days with places like zona blue, the green door, etc :)

now things have changed I travel less and less. so if I do actually make a reservation and come down again I will pay the whatever the VIP costs.

and not because you say I should :) or the king cr Golfer :)

anyway

nhank thank you for your input to this conversation :)

Ok, I am a newbie to the site and in fact making my first trip to CR. So I sign up for VIP and send off a reservation request for LA AMISTAD. The reply:
"We do have availability for the requested dates, room rate is $89+ 13% tax cash or $89+ 13% tax and 6% Fee for credit card in a deluxe room with queen size bed, breakfast included and free use of in room digital safe, please visit us at http://www.hotelamistad.com go to reservations and fill out our reservation form with your credit card number and expiration date or call us toll free 877 260 3027 so we can guarantee your reservation, we do not make any charges ahead of time this is only to hold the reservation.
Thanks for your e-mail and have a good day.
Best regards,"

I looked at the first post on this thread and it was 89 for a king size bed with breakfast, lunch, dinner and beer, wine, rail drinks included? The reply gave me a QUEEN bed with breakfast, no mention of the other 2 meals. I p.m.'d thru this board so I am totally confused if this is a ? or ???? Is there a secret handshake or something I am missing?

When you make your reservation, inform them you are a CRT vip and request the JUNE ALL INCLUSIVE SPECIAL.

cheers,

Not a scam. You do need to secure with a credit card when you make your reservation online or by phone to secure your spot. It is easier for members to call in on our toll free number 1-877-260-3027 and ask ANY question you would like. It is a simple promotion

All 3 meals are included off the Menu (Surf and Turf Included) as well as tapas during the day, All domestic beers during regular bar hours (open 11.30 am and Close 12 at night, all well drinks are included, House wine (Frontier Brand) and 50% off all top shelf. If you have any questions it is best to call us directly than to relie on the board to answer your questions.

have know Matt a long time and we have had our moments. since i have an apt. i rarely stay there anymore but have spent a lot of time in the hotel and spent a lot of money there.
you can say a lot of things about him but to insinuate the man is running a scam is grossly unfair. ime i have always felt i got more for my money with him and that he was very generous as a host.
even offers courtesy reach arounds if you buy him a beer.
seriously the guy can be called a lot of things but scamming customers? not a chance.

The way the promotion will work, guests that are all inclusive will receive a braclet (same as admission to a pool or park) that will have the day on it (for example a Monday check in will receive a braclet that has Monday written on it that will expire on Tuesday at 12 PM). If you wish to buy a braclet for a guest the cost will be an additional $50 plus tax for the day. They will receive the same benefits as the CRT but will have to share the room. Please call the Hotel if you have additional questions.
