No one contacted me about the meeting time. I reached out through the app and no one responded . Then 2 hours before the scheduled time I receive a text that the driver can only wait 5 minutes at the front. We rushed to the entrance taking less than 5 minutes and got another text after we got there stating the driver couldn’t wait. We were severely disappointed and we contacted the company and they are looking into the situation but have not reached back out since the day of the event nor issued a refund.
Dear Shila_R, Thank you for choosing us for your snorkeling adventure in the stunning Mexican Caribbean. We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate the opportunity to clarify the situation. We sent the meeting instructions through the Viator messaging system prior to your tour date. On the day of the tour, as a courtesy, we reached out to assist you in catching the pickup service since the van was already in the lobby of your hotel. You informed us that you were running late and heading to the lobby. We understand that delays can happen, and while we did our best to accommodate, our van was only able to wait for five minutes to respect the schedule of other guests who were on time. Please note that our policy does not allow refunds for missed tours or late arrivals. Additionally, any communication through the app is handled by Viator Customer Service, and response times are managed by them, not us directly. We value your feedback and are here to discuss any further concerns you might have. Warm regards, The Caribbean Shore Excursions Team
