We are bargain hunters. Spend less, travel more … right?!Bookvip Corporate Office… If you like to make your trip travel dollar stretch, then like us, you may find yourself considering a getaway plan promotional offer. However you need to be prepared. Know that these promotional holiday plan business are not 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 trip bundle with them (a long time in Florida). Let’s simply say that will not be taking place. We are just going to forget and consume the expense about it.
From here on out, we will be scheduling trip packages through BookVIP. Here’s why …
Surely, you have actually seen the Facebook sponsored posts. If you click over to their website, you will see that it is full of the most inexpensive holiday plans to a few of the most popular locations. They have some seriously elegant looking stays all over the world at some insane excellent rates.
Our first ever all inclusive experience was with BookVIP and it was remarkable. Maybe the Dreams spoiled us. This location was off-hook. It was everything we had expected and then some.
One fast note … We have just used BookVIP one time, at one luxury resort in Cancun. Reasoning informs me that not every resort trip package is going to offer a similar experience. It really is all going to boil down to the research study you put in.
Is booking Very Important Person a timeshare?
Researching the properties offered on BookVIP can be a bit of an obstacle. They do not advertise the actual name of the resorts. Instead, they use fake names. If you actually want to sleuth out the location you will be remaining a bit of investigative work on Google to match up the photos will expose the real identity of the property you are thinking about. We didn’t bother going that far. There was a lot of details on the BookVIP site to assist us feel comfortable with making our appointment.
You understand ahead of time if the dates you desire to travel are available. There is time to compare the dining establishments and facilities. This is a big contrast to the advertising holiday package sales calls I will talk about in the next area.
When you are all set to make your reservation with BookVIP, simply be prepared for a couple of extra resort costs and taxes. In our case, part of the additional charge was to cover tips for the resort staff.
OUR EXPERIENCE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS Bookvip Corporate Office
In contrast to BookVIP, our experience with Premier Travel Resorts (out of Florida) was not the very best. We very likely would not have taken part in another advertising offer if this had actually been our very first experience. It was that bad.
Are you on the calling lists? After our first marketing resort stay, we began getting phone calls using trip packages to different destinations. That is how we ended up with a trip plan including our newest Cancun all inclusive plus a couple short stays in Florida and elsewhere.
These travel sales calls are always a high-pressure scenario unless you just hang up. State no adequate times and they will keep dropping the cost to where it in fact sounds like an excellent offer. There isn’t much time to look into the trip residential or commercial properties they are providing.
They drew us in with a stay 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 purchased a plan. But utilizing it, that is a whole various story.
Premier Travel Resorts does not make it easy to in fact use the trip time. There is a great deal of small print that makes travel preparation very hard and potentially a lot more expensive. They don’t reveal these information during the sales call.
IF YOU BUY A HOLIDAY PACKAGE WITH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS, THIS IS WHAT YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR …
You can just book your dates 45-90 days ahead of time. Okay, reasonable enough.
Nevertheless, when you call to ask for your favored dates, they need you to complete a long kind needing all the details 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 just consist of your remain at their resort, this makes planning the rest of your travel extremely troublesome.
Preparation cost effective flights, or offered Airbnb remains in combination with your Premier Travel Resorts getaway bundle is really difficult. In our case, the Airbnb we wanted to remain at after our stay at the resort was scheduled 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 needs that those stays be back to back or thirty days apart. In our case, utilizing them on either end of a company journey we had actually prepared was not enabled.
We utilized the Cancun portion of our vacation package, however we won’t be using the rest of it.
THE BAIT AND SWITCH CANCUN ‘ALL INCLUSIVE’ THROUGH PREMIER TRAVEL RESORTS
The space was filthy, the toilet was broken, the lights flickered, which is simply the start. You see, they put us up, not in one of the luxury homes that they wished to sell us on, but rather at their ‘cemetary resort’. Seriously, that is what the people at the nice residential or commercial property informed us they called it. For real.
The one restaurant that was included in our ‘all inclusive’ (if you overlook the air conditioner leaking into our food) was really a nice experience. They altered up the menu every night, including foods from various parts of Mexico. And very prepared to assist us with our Spanish.
As soon as over the shock of the distinction in the kind of location we believed we would be staying, we made the many of it. And chose up our rental cars and truck a couple days early to go off and check out the location.
THE SALES PITCH
Both BookVIP and Premier Travel Resorts need that you participate in a 90-120 minute sales pitch to get their reduced costs. No biggie. We seem like that is worth it.
Premier Travel Resorts, however, needs that you participate in a promotional discussion throughout each stay. This is different from what we were told when they offered us the bundle.
OK, THAT’S IT FOR MY TIRADE
