Is it legal for a a hotel, resort or dive shop to charge you an 6 to 8 percent fee for using your Visa there?

I have had the experience of trying to use my Visa Card on both of the Bay Islands in Honduras. They have tried to change me 6 to 8 % fee for using my visa. Isn't this in violation of there agreement with Visa? I had no problems with hotels on the mainland doing this.

I also experience this in the Philippines in Puerto Galera.

If it is Illegal who do I turn them in to and how do I get my money back?

It is in violation of the Visa agreements. I too have experienced this with smaller establishments in certain areas. It is illegal to do that in my country but there was nothing I could do. They would rather not do business with you. Sometimes I agree to pay if it would cause me more inconvenience to withdraw cash.

If you were not informed before you were charged for it, maybe you get a chance to get it back but are you willing to go through all the hassle? If you agreed to pay the fee when paid for it, why do you want to get the fee back unless it is substantial. Those establishments may be going through a third party to get your payment.

Just do not patronize those establishments.

Best Value for Diving Where the Three Seas Meet

As a diver, I am always looking for a perfect place to dive, but doesn’t burn a hole in my pockets as well. I want a good place with good facilities, comfortable accommodation, good weather, good scenery and good food plus good security.


You know where I have found the place? Right in the island of Borneo on the Northern tip. The place is Sipadan, Mabul and Kapalai and Mataking islands on the Celebes Sea.


Up north you have the Sulu sea where you have Langkayan island and to the West, you have the pristine waters of the South China Sea. Three vast seas in one trip. Beautiful spots, lots of interesting marine life, big pelagic fishes and action or if you prefer the muck diving, exploring for the vast variety of critters in the ocean floor .


I am a calculative person, meaning I would work my budget out and exploit to the maximum. I am taught to get maximum out from minimum at the work place and this is the principle I applied. Maximum from minimum resources! Traveling to Malaysia and reaching the state of Sabah, there is a certain sum of money being spent, right? If you have traveled half the world to reach this place, you would want to explore as many diving sites as you want. The beautiful part in this place is that the four sites are quite near to each other. The experience is unique in each one though.


For example, at Sipadan, it is big fish action, the Barracuda, Turtles, sharks and rays. At Mabul and Kapalai, it is the macro life on the ocean floor, the weird critters you have never seen before.


It is unique to be staying on houses built on stilts over the sea. Where do you get to sit on your balcony and by looking down at the water below, you can watch the antics of the Mantis Prawn? This is one unique place. And the conversion of currency is USD1 gives you RM3.4 (Ringgit Malaysia). A can of coke cost you about USD50cents. So how about that for spending power at this place?

There are a number of dive resorts with PADI status at these dive paradise. The renting of diving equipment is a bargain compared to other places I have visited.


And getting to Sabah is easy as the capital city Kota Kinabalu is well connected to major airlines from USA, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Brunei, Bangkok, Macau, Shanghai, Australia and Kuala Lumpur.
