We are deal hunters. Invest less, travel more … right?!Bookvip.Com Cancun Reviews… If you like to make your holiday travel dollar stretch, then like us, you might find yourself considering a holiday plan promotional deal. But you ought to be prepared. Know that these advertising holiday 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 simply got off the phone from attempting to reserve the rest of our holiday package with them (a long time in Florida). Let’s just state that will not be taking place. We are just going to forget and eat the cost about it.
From here on out, we will be booking holiday bundles through BookVIP. Here’s why …
Definitely, you’ve seen the Facebook sponsored posts. If you click over to their website, you will see that it has plenty of the most inexpensive holiday bundles to a few of the most popular locations. They have some seriously elegant looking stays all over the world at some insane great prices.
Our first ever all inclusive experience was with BookVIP and it was fantastic. Possibly the Dreams ruined us. This place was off-hook. It was everything we had actually hoped for and then some.
One quick note … We have only used BookVIP one time, at one luxury resort in Cancun. Logic tells me that not every resort holiday bundle is going to supply a comparable experience. It really is all going to come down to the research you put in.
Is booking Very Important Person a timeshare?
They don’t promote the actual name of the resorts. If you actually want to sleuth out the place you will be staying a bit of investigative work on Google to match up the pictures will reveal the true 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 booking.
What we like about reserving with BookVIP? You are on your own schedule. No sales calls, no pressure. Schedule when you have actually done your research study and you are ready. You will understand what you are getting. You know ahead of time if the dates you wish to take a trip are readily available. There is time to compare the amenities and dining establishments. This is a big contrast to the promotional vacation bundle sales calls I will talk about in the next section.
When you are prepared to make your booking with BookVIP, just be prepared for a few extra resort fees and taxes. In our case, part of the extra charge was to cover pointers for the resort personnel.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS Bookvip.Com Cancun Reviews
In contrast to BookVIP, our experience with Premier Travel Resorts (out of Florida) was not the very best. We extremely likely would not have gotten involved in another advertising offer if this had been our very first experience. It was that bad.
Are you on the calling lists? After our first promotional resort stay, we began getting call providing trip plans to numerous locations. That is how we wound up with a trip package including our latest Cancun all inclusive plus a couple brief stays in Florida and somewhere else.
These travel sales calls are constantly a high-pressure scenario unless you just hang up. Say no enough times and they will keep dropping the cost to where it really seems like a good deal. If they catch your interest and you decide to purchase, it is needed that you do so prior to the end of the call. There isn’t much time to look into the vacation homes they are using. You might have a few seconds to rapidly pull up some photos but that is about it. A picture is worth a thousand words, however not worth nearly as much as having the ability to check out a couple of evaluations.
They drew us in with a remain in Cancun (which is convenient for us because of the distance to Belize) and a long time in Florida (hey there, sailboat shopping!). We pulled the trigger and bought a bundle. Utilizing it, that is a whole various story.
Premier Travel Resorts does not make it simple to really utilize the holiday time. There is a great deal of small print that makes travel preparation very difficult and potentially a lot more expensive. They do not reveal these details throughout the sales call.
THIS IS WHAT YOU OUGHT TO BE PREPARED FOR …
You can only just schedule dates 45-90 days ahead of time if YOU ACQUIRE A TRIP PLAN WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS. Okay, reasonable enough.
When you call to ask for your favored dates, they need you to fill out 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 readily available. Unless your itinerary will only consist of your remain at their resort, this makes preparing the rest of your travel very bothersome.
Preparation budget friendly flights, or readily available Airbnb stays in conjunction with your Premier Travel Resorts getaway plan is extremely challenging. In our case, the Airbnb we wanted to stay at after our remain at the resort was reserved by the time Premier Travel Resorts returned to us.
Our bundle included a stay in Orlando and a stay in Daytona Beach. Premier Travel Resorts requires that those stays be back to back or one month apart. So, in our case, utilizing them on either end of a company journey we had actually prepared was not allowed.
We utilized the Cancun part of our vacation bundle, but we will not 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 luxury properties that they wanted to sell us on, however rather at their ‘cemetary resort’. Seriously, that is what the people at the great property informed us they called it.
Now, to be reasonable, Laguna Suites wasn’t all bad. The one restaurant that was consisted of in our ‘all inclusive’ (if you neglect the air conditioning unit leaking into our food) was in fact a good experience. They altered the menu every night, including foods from different parts of Mexico. And the personnel was incredible. Very friendly and accommodating. And very willing to help us with our Spanish.
Twice the shock of the distinction in the kind of place we believed we would be remaining, we made the most of it. We fulfilled some nice people. Consumed some great food. Took some good walks on the golf course. And got our rental automobile a couple days early to go off and check out the location.
THE SALES PITCH
Both BookVIP and Premier Travel Resorts need that you attend a 90-120 minute sales pitch to get their discounted costs. No biggie. We feel like that is worth it.
Premier Travel Resorts, nevertheless, needs that you participate in an advertising discussion during each stay. When they offered us the package, this is various from what we were told. A two-hour sales pitch when you are staying someplace for only two nights is a huge piece of time. They sold us four different stays, that suggests as much as 8 hours of moderately high-pressure sales! No thanks.
OK, THAT’S IT FOR MY TIRADE
