Invest less, take a trip more … right?! If you like to make your getaway travel dollar stretch, then like us, you might discover yourself considering a getaway package marketing deal. Know that these marketing trip plan business are not at all equal.
After the let down of our current remain at the Cancun all inclusive through Premier Travel Resorts, I just left the phone from attempting to book the rest of our vacation bundle with them (a long time in Florida). Let’s just state that will not be happening. We are simply going to forget and consume the cost about it.
From here on out, we will be reserving holiday plans through BookVIP. If you click over to their website, you will see that it is full of the cheapest trip plans to some of the most popular locations.
Our first ever all inclusive experience was with BookVIP and it was remarkable. Possibly the Dreams spoiled us. This location was off-hook. It was whatever we had wished for and after that some.
One quick note … We have just utilized BookVIP one time, at one luxury resort in Cancun. Logic tells me that not every resort holiday bundle is going to supply a similar experience. It really is all going to come down to the research study you put in.
Is booking Very Important Person a timeshare?
They don’t market the real name of the resorts. If you really desire to sleuth out the place you will be remaining a bit of investigative work on Google to match up the images will reveal the real identity of the residential or commercial property you are thinking about. There was plenty of info on the BookVIP website to assist us feel comfortable with making our appointment.
What we love about scheduling with BookVIP? You are on your own schedule. No sales calls, no pressure. Schedule when you have done your research and you are ready. You will know what you are getting. If the dates you want to take a trip are available, you know ahead of time. There is time to compare the dining establishments and facilities. This is a big contrast to the promotional vacation bundle sales calls I will speak about in the next area.
When you are ready to make your booking with BookVIP, just be prepared for a few extra resort fees and taxes. Our $599 for 5 days/4 nights at a Cancun all inclusive expense around $720 after whatever was said and done. In our case, part of the additional charge was to cover tips for the resort staff. After the experience we had, we discovered this to be well worth it.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS Bookvip Better Business Bureau
In contrast to BookVIP, our experience with Premier Travel Resorts (out of Florida) was not the very best. If this had been our first experience, we very likely would not have participated in another promotional deal. It was that bad.
Are you on the calling lists? After our first marketing resort stay, we began getting phone calls offering holiday packages to various destinations. That is how we ended up with a getaway package including our newest Cancun all inclusive plus a couple brief stays in Florida and in other places.
These travel sales calls are constantly a high-pressure scenario unless you simply hang up. Say no enough times and they will keep dropping the price to where it really sounds like a great deal. There isn’t much time to investigate the vacation residential or commercial properties they are providing.
They drew us in with a remain 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. Using it, that is a whole various story.
Premier Travel Resorts does not make it simple to really use the holiday time. There is a lot of fine print that makes travel preparation very tough and possibly a lot more pricey. They do not reveal these details throughout the sales call.
THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR …
You can only just book dates 45-90 days ahead of time if YOU PURCHASE A GETAWAY PLAN WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS. Okay, reasonable enough.
When you call to ask for your preferred dates, they require you to fill out a long type needing all the details 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 stay at their resort, this makes preparing the rest of your travel really inconvenient.
Planning budget friendly flights, or available Airbnb remains in conjunction with your Premier Travel Resorts getaway plan is really challenging. In our case, the Airbnb we wanted to remain at after our stay at the resort was reserved by the time Premier Travel Resorts got back to us.
Our plan consisted of a stay in Orlando and a remain in Daytona Beach. Premier Travel Resorts requires that those stays be back to back or one month apart. So, in our case, using them on either end of an organization journey we had actually prepared was not allowed.
We used the Cancun part of our holiday package, however we won’t be utilizing the rest of it.
THE BAIT AND SWITCH CANCUN ‘ALL INCLUSIVE’ THROUGH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS
You see, they put us up, not in one of the high-end properties that they desired to sell us on, however rather at their ‘cemetary resort’. Seriously, that is what the guys at the great property informed us they called it.
The one restaurant that was consisted of in our ‘all inclusive’ (if you neglect the air conditioner leaking into our food) was actually a nice experience. They changed up the menu every night, featuring foods from various parts of Mexico. And really willing to help us with our Spanish.
Twice the shock of the distinction in the kind of location we believed we would be remaining, we maximized it. We fulfilled some great people. Ate some great food. Took some nice walks on the golf course. And picked up our rental automobile a couple days early to go off and explore the area.
THE SALES PITCH
Both BookVIP and Premier Travel Resorts require that you go to a 90-120 minute sales pitch to get their reduced costs. No biggie. We seem like that deserves it.
Premier Travel Resorts, however, needs that you participate in a promotional presentation throughout each stay. This is different from what we were informed when they sold us the bundle. When you are staying somewhere for just 2 nights is a huge piece of time, a two-hour sales pitch. They offered us four various stays, that means approximately 8 hours of reasonably high-pressure sales! No thanks.
OK, THAT’S IT FOR MY TIRADE
