Double charge and incorrect pricing.
Charged twice for the same night. Paid through hotels.com and then was asked to pay again on checking out. Upon realising the double charge a few days later the telephone apparently not working and despite me calling from 2 different numbers Now when I cal the Sandals number listed it says this number does not exist.
