I know that I'm not the only one that scours the sell off sites pretty much daily. :ROFL:
Does anybody know what day they change their prices? I thought it was Tuesdays, but I haven't seen them change yet? :dontknow:
I'm sure that Mo-miss has the answer to this. :ROFL:
-
Sorry Heather, Can't help you with that one.
That_Woman booked this one on her own, so I just "went with the flow". :grin:
-
What day do the Selloff Sites change their prices?
The day after I book, most times not in my favor :ROFL:
Hope you guys find the deal you have been hoping for soon :happy3:
-
Bulldog, that's usually what happens to me as well. Either that or I wait and wait and then it's gone :sad1:
You got a good deal and it went UP the day after you booked. :icon_thumright:
-
Maybe pick a date for a decision, then get the best deal you can on that date and don't look back :grin:
I shouldn't have looked as it could have been bad news, it's like a scab :nono: don't pick it :ROFL:
Again good luck :notworthy:
-
Heather are you looking just for flights ?
you said something about nights owed threw Sandals ?
-
I've looked at flights and there are some cheap ones to Jamaica, but when you add in the hotel it costs more than a package price. We only have 3 nights with Sandals so we would need to book somewhere else for the extra nights.
-
I checked this AM and it appears the prices are down today, maybe they do it on Saturdays now. The resort we booked was close to $800+ yesterday, and today it's down to under $700. Glad I booked at $625.
-
Lauren now I just had t go look :BangHead:
It's 615.00 now :BangHead:
Picking a scab today :nono: Bad Bulldog :nono:
but if anyone wants to joins us, now is a good time :ROFL:
-
It's Ok Bob, we still got a great deal
-
Have you heard if you're getting adjoining rooms yet? I think Gambitt said that he emailed somebody.
I think the Family rooms and adjoining rooms are in the South section, which is the newest section farthest from the beach.
Bulldog, stop picking at the Scab :ROFL:
-
Not a word...
I haven't got anything saying the email was undelivered, so all we can do is hope. :dontknow:
-
You might be in luck and the resort won't be full. If occupancy is low I'm sure they'll move you guys around to accomodate your needs.
You might not get the rooms you want when you arrive, but they can usually do something next day.
Last Jan when we went away with all the kids, we had to wait a day and then they moved us all into the new section of the resort and gave us adjoining rooms.
How big is the resort? Is it a long walk to the beach from the South side? Where is the dive shop? I guess it's better to wait until you get there and then decide where you want the rooms?
-
Here is a link to a map of the resort..

I was going to wait until a couple weeks before to email :dontknow:
And from google maps...

It looks like a big resort, do they have golf carts to move the people around?
Gambitt, you don't want to be lugging your dive gear from the South end to the beach.
-
To me it doesn't look big enough for inner transportation like golf carts, been to a few where you really
needed then but after looking at the map I'm not sure if this would be one :dontknow:
Like I said I'm going to wait to email to ask for a free upgrade to a suite with private butler :grin:
-
:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:
Can't be any worse than lugging it from the PCV, all the way over past the Blau!
But you're right about changing rooms if it becomes nessesary.
-
If you are staying at what was Brisas Del Caribe... you will want to stay in the older holtel section, it's quite a little walk from the South Section, we stayed there two years in a row and the first year we were put in the room farthest from the beach, we quickly changed rooms the next day... and the following year requested the same room.. and it was a ground floor room but was quite adequate, the only interesting thing was the number of cockroaches in the hallways each morning.. I didn't bother me but some people might not like them.. food was OK too
-
so for mexico, should I use the agent for booking or do it myself?
-
If you know what you want then book it yourself, but if you unsure :duh: the TA may be able to help
you with your choices :dontknow:
-
Jammy,
do you have a short list of resorts, or one in particular? and what dates are you looking at?
I will usually go into a travel agent if I have special requests, or require a certain amount of rooms close together etc.
A travel agent can't guarantee your requests, but she can usually get on the phone and get some answers for you before you book.
If you're just looking for a straight forward deal, then book online.
-
Bulldog, stop picking at the Scab :ROFL:
I couldn't help myself again :duh: but this time it's back up to $798.00 :grin:
Now I think I will stop :thumbsup:

Jammie
As others have said, there is no longer any real $ benefit with booking on-line (some exceptions may apply) :grin:(used our last $100 voucher from SellOff on our last trip,price match)
Do your research on line, but there are certainly advantages to booking with a TA that you are comfortable with!! Eg. We often book on line but it so happened when Tracie had an accident in Cuba we booked with our friendly T/A.
When I phoned her from Cuba she arranged to have all of our travel info sent to the insurance company, told us how many seats were available on the aircraft (we needed extra) and arranged wheel chairs at home!! The question is..Can you do that ..On-Line????
..... Didn't think So!!! Call Janet @ 1-705-324-9181 especially if you are flying with Air Transat!! Tell her Fred & Tracie sent you!! She will look after you!!!

Im thinking either the Xcaret or the Catalonia Yucatan Beach (or colonial?) in February for a week, taking into consideration my mother's mobility issues. They are both in the Mayan Riviera
