good... one question... the price of the hotel is 713. how much is the ticket?
For me it was a scam, apart from charging you for the expensive ticket, in dollars, they offer you something that later they do not fulfill, for example, I took an all inclusive ticket for 7 days because they spoke to me well there in the hotel VENETUR,Two days before traveling they removed the all inclusive and I wanted to get my money back and they told me they could not, that is a scam, they cannot change something that they sold you, otherwise if they do they should know that many like me can be disappointed and claim the money back..
I would like to know if there are airline tickets available in mon
