I would just like to warn other about the scam i have been caught up in with Villas International.I purchased a deal through whypayfullprice for 7 nights in a villa in Nusa Dua for $899. The booking agent for the villa was Villas International so my payment went to them. Yesterday i received an email from whypayfullprice saying my accomodation for June had been cancelled due to a contractual disagreement Villas International was having with the villas. After researching online and contacting the villas directly i have learnt that this has happened to many people all staying in villas booked through Villas International. It seems Villa International are taking peoples and never making payment to the villa owners - the villa in Nusa Dua i had booked have not received payment since November.

Although i already have the flights booked and am now without accommodation after reading some of the stories on trip advisor over the last few weeks i feel like one of the lucky ones. What Villas International is doing is disgusting and not only are they messing travellers aroung they are also leaving villa owners in financial trouble. They still have their website up so i wouldn't be suprised if the scam - my advise is don't go near them.
