I am glad someone is finally posting reports on the Coastal Vacation rip-off scam!


It is hard to find out the truth about Coastal Vacations.


The website http://www.coastalvacationsnews.com/ really helped me out.


I wish I found that website earlier. I never would have joined Coastal Vacations!


I dont recommend anyone to buy a Coastal Vacations travel package. They are not what they claim they are. The Coastal Vacation Travel packages are Trash!


When a director is trying to sell the high price membership, they make outrageous claims of savings like travel for pennies on the dollar. What a BIG lie!


Coastal Vacations does a great job of the illusion act. At first, when you look at the website and the video, it appears to be a big company.


Stephanie Johnson, Scot Charton, Al Romine, also, do a great job on the nightly calls, building up the Coastal Vacation image and the illusion that its a respectable company.


After I joined, I found out Coastal Vacations doesnt even have a phone number or a building!


It is all a big fake!


There are basically two kinds of people in Coastal Vacations.


1. The people who are selling it, who are after your money, and they make big outrageous claims of savings!


2. People that bought it, tried to use it, and are very angry that they were lied to and scammed!


When I tried to use the so called complimentary vacation, the charges began!


I was required to book the airfare through the vendor that was processing the vacation. This is where they sock you with high charges!


First, I was required to pay the Non-promotional high airfare rates. I was told I could not use any Frequent Flyer miles, this is not allowed.


Then, they wanted two airfare bookings at the high rate! If you go alone thats another add-on charge!


Then, to make it worse, you are restricted on what airports you can leave from.


I was also shocked that they required deposits before they will tell me if the date I selected was even available. Also, the date I wanted was not guaranteed! I needed to pick alternate dates.


I am very angry that I every heard the name Coastal Vacations.


There is NO number to call for refunds or complaints.


Coastal Vacations is the Biggest Fake Travel business that has every existed.

Unfair attack on Coastal Vacations and it's representatives

#2Consumer Comment

Thu, April 17, 2014

I can see from the pattern of libelous attacks which started in 2009 and continued through 2010 alleging all sorts of problems with Coastal Vacations that who ever was behind this libelous attack strategy may have found more meaningful ways to occupy their time.

While this report is clearly created by a libelous competitor attempting to malign Coastal Vacations for selfish greed, I feel moved to point out that I am just now reading it in April 2014.  If Coastal Vacations were "a sinking ship", guilty of all the false allegations created on this libelous website, I could not have just saved thousands of dollars using my life time Coastal Vacations membership.  

Any jerk can create a website and use illegal and unethical tactics to attempt to malign others.  Only in this case, the mailgned victim is a non-profit wholesale travel club which has chosen to rise above the attack, standing solidly upon reputation EARNED and DESERVED while disregarding this "clanging bell".

I have been a Level Three Platinum life time member of Coastal Vacations Wholesale Travel club since 2007, and have only experienced the best with the directors I have been fortunate enough to meet, especially Stephanie Johnson and Al Romaine.  

My Level Three lifetime membership cost $11,000 and has been worth every penny, and has paid for itself time after time.  The board of directors are all club members and serve as volunteers because they believe in the value of the club as do most club membership board of directors. 

I highly recommend Coastal Vacations to anyone I care about who I know wants to enjoy more travel and wholesale prices.  This lifetime membership is a much better value than time share ownership with no hidden fees or increasing taxes and HOA dues.

It is sad to me that anyone can libel anyone or any entity with impunity on the Internet.  If Coastal Vacations and its representatives were the "bad deal" this website promoter alleges, it would not be going strong after over 25 years.

What this unfair attack fails to disclose is that with Coastal Vacations we own a LIFETIME membership in the world's best wholesale travel club, now enjoying the benefits of over 100 vendors.  We can use the benefits of that membership without limitations, and give vacations away to friends, family members and business associates.

If you are seriously considering joining us in Coastal Vacations, the facts are easy to find.  Our lifetime membership in the world's best wholesale travel club is still going strong in 2014.
