Avoid Apple vacations - Travel agency

- Colorado - Woodland Park, Colorado
I would not recommend booking a vacation through Apple Vacations by TravelTrek in Woodland Park for the following reasons:

We booked our vacation a year ahead of time and put down a deposit to lock in the price. We thought at this point we could move on to other things knowing our vacation is locked and secure. We were very surprised to receive a letter in the mail a week later stating that they hoped we enjoyed our vacation. A bit confused by all this and afraid that our vacation may have left without us, we called to make sure everything was okay and were assured that it was a computer glitch and that everything was alright. We also applied for vacation insurance that we found out later was never applied. A little apprehensive now we decided to keep tabs on our status but did request that they move us from the elderly travel agent to perhaps one with a better memory.

Three months later we were surprised to receive a letter in the mail from Apple Vacations stating that because of rising gas prices they were going to increase our vacation charges by $350. We called and complained that since we put a down payment on our vacations that should have locked in the price. Apparently Apple reserves the right to increase your vacation price any time they choose but they also reserve the right not to decrease the pricier vacation when gas prices fall. We think this is a ripoff and recommend steering clear of TravelTrek and Apple Vacations in Woodland Park.

I to had a Apple Vacation package but was booked through Circle Travel Agency in Laurel Springs , New Jersey. They also kept inflating the prices stated Apple this additional due to Gas Surcharges.
We. did end up going in July and it was the most horrifying experience we had.
The Hotel had no air , the electricity went out, the food was not properly cooked.
Lets just say over here there would be serious health code violations.
Please choose your Hotel wisely, because when we requested that the Apple Rep send us to another hotel, they had nothing available but offered a plane fair back home at our expense.
Good luck to you and hope everything goes well.
We have been trying to get our money back since.
