I would like from somebody from Expedia to contact me because I want my money back. I’ve never been to that place because when we tried to go there it was a scam. The pictures are for a hotel Cortez aloe on the other side of the airport. there was other people that came in after me to this other place that we’re also scammed, so I’m sure you’re hearing from everyone. My phone number is 941-302-3292
Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025
