Changes in your stay are not possible u less done before 72 hours of your trip so if you plan to change you would have to do it at your expense they will not help even just to change hotels i didn't want to cancel or ask for a refund just wanted something closer to our events but no help from southwest DO NOT book a bundle deal with southwest not worth the hassle

My experience was very similar to Sarah Alling's review dated 10/31/2025. I didn't read the reviews beforehand because I trusted Southwest Airlines and had booked many flights with them in the past. This was my first time booking a vacation package through them. I'm still working on getting the charge refunded to my credit card. Overall, it has been a very frustrating and disappointing experience.

BEWARE! You will be scammed! I booked my hotel through Southwest Hotels powered by Rocket Travel because the checkout page stated the "Total Due" included fees. Imagine my surprise when I arrived at the hotel and was charged an unexpected $428.88 in mandatory fees, including a "Private Guest Club Fee" that I never signed up for or agreed to join. If every guest is required to pay these fees, they should be included in the advertised price or clearly disclosed before payment; not presented as a surprise at check-in. After weeks of emails and phone calls, Rocket Travel admitted part of the charges were incorrect but still refused to refund the full amount. They have since stopped responding to my emails, and customer service either disconnects my calls or says someone will contact me, which never happens. Travelers should be extremely cautious and take screenshots of every step of the booking process before purchasing. I will never book through Rocket Travel again. If you are booking through Southwest please double check they aren’t using Rocket Travel!

We booked a trip & before we left 3 days prior we only wanted to leave a day early. They lied & had excuses & even hung up on us multiple times. The point is Never book southwest vacation packages! We booked a flight with the same airline southwest for an additional 600 bucks to come home when we needed!

I was scammed by Southwest Hotels. Hotel stays completed in 2026 were supposed to qualify for 2026/2027 companion pass. After the stays, they backdated the points to last year when the reservation was made. This is not acceptable and Southwest should be ashamed. I will under no circumstances use them for booking hotels again.

What a let down! This place was rated 4.5 stars.WRONG! I don’t see how. There’s a coffee maker in the room but you have to the pods…$30 for 2. Nickel & diming us at every turn. Nothing, zero is provided. Charge to check in one hour early. This place is a dump & it makes me mad to be taken advantage of. Shame on Southwest, Shame on Caesar’s for being affiliated with this place.

Southwest vacations advertises that their packages include 2 baggage fly at no cost. why did they charge men $156.00 to include 2 checked bags each way. My hotel, The Sheraton coconut Grove in Kauai stole my Tag Huer wrist watch from my room(about $2,000) Reported to house keeping and manager. Received a diplomatic bull shit tap dance. Nice job Southwest, never again.
