Spend less, take a trip more … right?! If you like to make your vacation travel dollar stretch, then like us, you may discover yourself considering a getaway plan marketing offer. Know that these advertising getaway bundle business are not at all equivalent.
After the let down of our current stay at the Cancun all inclusive through Premier Travel Resorts, I just got off the phone from attempting to reserve the remainder of our holiday bundle with them (some time in Florida). Let’s just state that will not be occurring. We are just going to forget and eat the expense about it.
From here on out, we will be scheduling trip packages through BookVIP. Here’s why …
Definitely, you’ve seen the Facebook sponsored posts. You will see that it is complete of the most affordable holiday plans to some of the most popular destinations if you click over to their site. They have some seriously luxurious looking stays all over the world at some insane good rates.
Our first ever all inclusive experience was with BookVIP and it was incredible. Maybe the Dreams ruined us. This location was off-hook. It was everything we had actually wished for and after that some.
One quick note … We have just utilized BookVIP one time, at one high-end resort in Cancun. Reasoning tells me that not every resort holiday bundle is going to supply a comparable experience. It truly is all going to come down to the research study you put in.
Is booking Very Important Person a timeshare?
Looking into the properties offered on BookVIP can be a little bit of a challenge. They don’t advertise the actual name of the resorts. Rather, they use fake names. If you really want to sleuth out the location you will be staying a bit of investigative work on Google to match up the images will expose the real identity of the residential or commercial property you are considering. We didn’t trouble going that far. There was plenty of information on the BookVIP website to assist us feel comfy with making our appointment.
What we like about reserving with BookVIP? You are on your own schedule. No sales calls, no pressure. Reserve when you have done your research study and you are ready. You will understand what you are getting. You understand ahead of time if the dates you wish to take a trip are offered. There is time to compare the facilities and dining establishments. This is a big contrast to the promotional trip plan sales calls I will talk about in the next section.
Simply be prepared for a couple of additional resort costs and taxes when you are ready to make your booking with BookVIP. Our $599 for 5 days/4 nights at a Cancun all inclusive cost around $720 after everything was stated and done. In our case, part of the surcharge was to cover pointers for the resort personnel. After the experience we had, we discovered this to be well worth it.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS Book Vip Waterpark
In contrast to BookVIP, our experience with Premier Travel Resorts (out of Florida) was not the very best. If this had actually been our first experience, we likely would not have taken part in another marketing deal. It was that bad.
Are you on the calling lists? After our very first advertising resort stay, we started getting call using getaway bundles to different locations. That is how we wound up with a trip bundle including our most recent Cancun all inclusive plus a couple brief remain in Florida and somewhere else.
These travel sales calls are always a high-pressure situation unless you simply hang up. Say no enough times and they will keep dropping the cost to where it really sounds like an excellent offer. There isn’t much time to look into the trip properties they are offering.
They drew us in with a stay in Cancun (which is convenient for us because of the proximity to Belize) and some time in Florida (hi, sailboat shopping!). We pulled the trigger and purchased a package. But using it, that is a whole different story.
Premier Travel Resorts does not make it easy to in fact use the vacation time. There is a lot of small print that makes travel preparation really hard and possibly a lot more pricey. They don’t reveal these details during the sales call.
THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR …
You can only reserve your dates 45-90 days ahead of time if YOU BUY A HOLIDAY PACKAGE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS. Okay, reasonable enough.
However, when you contact us to ask for your preferred dates, they need you to complete a long form needing all the info that they already have. You then need to wait about a week to see if your dates are even offered. Unless your travel plans will only include your remain at their resort, this makes planning the rest of your travel very inconvenient.
Planning budget-friendly flights, or available Airbnb stays in combination with your Premier Travel Resorts trip bundle is extremely challenging. In our case, the Airbnb we wished to remain at after our remain at the resort was scheduled by the time Premier Travel Resorts got back to us.
Our package included a remain in Orlando and a remain in Daytona Beach. Premier Travel Resorts needs that those stays be back to back or 1 month apart. In our case, utilizing them on either end of a business journey we had actually prepared was not allowed.
We used the Cancun part of our getaway plan, but we will not be using the rest of it.
THE BAIT AND SWITCH CANCUN ‘ALL INCLUSIVE’ THROUGH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS
The room was unclean, the toilet was cracked, the lights flickered, and that is simply the start. You see, they put us up, not in one of the high-end homes that they wanted to sell us on, but rather at their ‘cemetary resort’. Seriously, that is what the men at the great home told us they called it. For real.
The one restaurant that was consisted of in our ‘all inclusive’ (if you neglect the air conditioner leaking into our food) was actually a great experience. They changed up the menu every night, featuring foods from various parts of Mexico. And really ready to assist us with our Spanish.
When over the shock of the distinction in the kind of location we thought we would be remaining, we made the most of it. And picked up our rental automobile a couple days early to go off and check out the area.
THE SALES PITCH
Both BookVIP and Premier Travel Resorts need that you go to a 90-120 minute sales pitch to get their discounted costs. No biggie. We seem like that deserves it.
Premier Travel Resorts, nevertheless, needs that you participate in a promotional discussion during each stay. This is different from what we were told when they sold us the package.
OK, THAT’S IT FOR MY TIRADE
