DO NOT BOOK WITH AMSTAR DMC!! Would give them ZERO STARS if i could! Traveled to Dominican Republic for our honeymoon last week. Paid for an excursion. The day of the scheduled outing, I woke up with a fever and told them i would not be able to attend. I requested a refund and it was refused at the resort stating that i needed medical documentation. When i asked where to go to obtain that, i was told it was pointless because it would cost more than the excursion. The representative at the resort asked me, 'why i didn't just go to the excursion even with a fever.' YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! The next day i flew back to the US, and took a COVID test, which was positive. I provided proof to Amstar that i was positive for COVID, one day later, and they still refuse to refund me the money for the excursion. WILL NEVER EVER book anything through them again!
I had to wait an hour upon arrival it was no problem, upon returning they claimed they went to the bell boy and asked for us and didn’t find us !! We had to pay a taxi to take us back to the airport! TERRIBLE service!!! Not even a phone call to say they were there !!!!! No Customer service could be reached and when they were finally contacted did not care about the complaint !!
READ IF YOU ARE TRAVELING ABROAD AND USING THIS COMPANY FOR AIRPORT TRANSPORTATION!If I could give this company a negative number of starts, I certainly would. I booked roundtrip airport to resort transportation in Punta Cana from 8/4 until 8/12 with Amstar DMC for 11 adults and 2 children under 2 years of age. On 8/11, a day before our departure from Punta Cana, I met with the Amstar DMC representative at the hotel lobby to coordinate the details of our return. The Amstar DMC representative contacted his customer service team to update the departure time on our reservation and a confirmation email was immediately sent to me showing the pick up time and location. On 8/12, our pick up at the resort was scheduled for 2:00 AM at the hotel lobby and we were all ready to go by 1:45 AM. The only problem was— NO ONE FROM AMSTAR DMC SHOWED UP TO PICK US UP! I waited 45 minutes at the resort lobby, at 2:00 AM, with 2 children under 2 years of age and 11 other family members and friends, to catch our 5:00 AM flight and our Amstar DMC driver never showed up! Upon calling customer service several times from my cellphone and the hotel lobby phone, I finally reached the representative I met with the previous day. After I explained to him that our driver didn’t know up, he proceeded to tell me that I had woken him up and that he wasn’t feeling well. He said he would reach out to his supervisor and get back to me but recommended that all 13 of us take a cab to the airport so that we wouldn’t miss our flight. After calling him several times without a solution for the problem, we finally took a cab to the airport and made it just in time to catch our flight. Upon my return home, I called the Amstar customer service line to request refund and reimbursement for the taxi services. I was told that I would receive a full refund and reimbursement within 7 business days. Later on, I received an email froman Amstar DMC customer service supervisor stating that a full refund and reimbursement for the taxi services would not be possible, only the return transportation charges would be refunded.Therefore, if you want a reliable company to provide airport to resort roundtrip transportation while on vacation in a foreign country, I urge you to please consider a different company as Amstar DMC has proven to be unreliable and unprofessional in various ways. Beware!!”
My friend and I planned a trip to Jamaica. the day we were supposed to leave American Airlines cancelled our flight. Camilla at Amstar in the Ocean Coral Spring Hotel was SO very helpful. When our hotel was full that night, and we needed a room til our flight the next day Camilla stepped up to help us. The hotel did not offer to do anything for us or help to find another place. Camilla got online looking and making calls. She found one that was connected to our property so we didn't have far to go. I feel our hotel could have done that but they offered no help. Camilla went way out of her way to help us and totally saved us. She made sure Amstar was taking us to the airport and even emailed the next day to be sure we were getting there in time. She is a GREAT employee and hope Amstar knows what great customer service she gave us when it wasn't even her responsibility. Thank you Camilla!!!! We are so grateful!!!
Horrible service back to the airport , driver was a no show, after admitted to be at the wrong hotel , to hold for him for 5 mins turned out to be a NO SHOW, Had to ask for taxi to get me to the airport as I was running late to the airport, never received the service as private yet was charged full price for this poor service.If you have another choice please do so , AMSTAR is not reliable.
Horrible experience with these people. I had booked trips with some people at our resort and we were completely blindsided the whole time. My first trip booked with them was horrible. The transportation fee was $30 and should’ve been included for this trip. When we got there we were charged by the taxi driver $20 because he was never paid. We had no organization of transportation back as we thought we would have. We had to walk back all the way home as we didn't have extra cash besides the $20 and tip for the travel guide. Additionally, we were given the wrong time for the excursion and we were about to not be taken in. We were also told this activity would be three hours long however it was only one hour long. I was completely shocked by the whole experience and tried to cancel my other trips and they gave me the hardest time about it. I thought I could rely on them but they’ve truly only ruined my trip. They lied and scammed to our faces countless times I would not trust them.
Do not use Amstar for anything. Absolute scammers. We paid in advance for our transfer from/ to the airport. Our representative Natanael Fernandez( Amstar) did not show up and never scheduled transfer back to the airport from the hotel. We are paid additional for taxi to give us a ride. Previous day he confirmed 1 pm pick up, but no show. Absolutely unprofessional and bad experience. Be aware. Thank you
I will give them less than one. But that's not an option period we were at the hotel at 9 o'clock as required. And although they say someone showed up, nobody did period they refused to give us a reimbursement. And so we ended up paying extra money to make it to the airport. If you're gonna use this company. Just be aware they are scam artists.
Worst customer service . They will take your money and won’t even flinch. They will tell you that I’m going to Indy when you take it to the hotel hotel people will walk away say it’s not us and we cannot do anything so nobody’s here we accountable for the money you spent with them.
