Avoid Redtag.ca
 
This is a vacation site like travelocity or expedia in canada.

They are nothing but a scam. They are knowingly advertising resorts with higher ratings than what they really are.

They advertise "price assurance" that says they'll refund the difference up to 4 days before departure if the price goes down. This is a lie.

Avoid Avoid Avoid, nothing but a bunch of clowns working there

I deal with a travel agent, same person I have dealt with for years... Her pricing and packages have always beat any online price/package from any of the major internet sites.

Because it is online, doesn't mean you will get the best price!

HEHE... Live and learn... Remember the one thread awhile back where reefers were bashing me on the SWC skimmer I bought from a LFS? I bought it also based on the price protection they offered, but did not honor... It happens to all of us, at one time or another.

lol i fought with SWC and ended up getting my money back on the broken skimmer they sold me.

i am also fighting redtag. will be reporting them to the bbb, the Competition Bureau. TICO. and anywhere else i can.

then i will go on every trip review website and make sure to post how horrible they are.

If i pursued on customer to not buy from them, i will be happy

You've pursued me.

And global designs has pursued me to contact a travel agent for my next trip. How do you know you've got a good one?

Ask family or friends if they have one.

Mine is in Calgary, with today's technologies and everything being electronic bookings. You could even use my travel agent if you wish. I have booked about 10 or so trips with her, and always she has blown others and internet out of the water.

I just went to Mexico using redtag.ca. Have nothing to say but good things. Price was amazing for a 5 star all inclusive. I've been using them for years however you have to remember that a Mexican 5 star is not the same as a Canadian 5 star. Each country has their own requirements for the ratings system.

I'd rather read users comments online and see all the pictures for myself than book blindly with a travel agent. I've done the travel agent route a few times before also and been ripped off. You got to be vigilant no matter which route you take

they advertised 5 star and then on the confirmation they sent me it said 4 star.

they knowingly lied on their website

with any sort of on-line sites between shills and trolls it's buyer beware, great if you can find an individual but careful even then
