Please help me decide: only have 4 nights & $3,000. Can it be done?
 

Looking for an all inclusive place for 4 nights for an anniversary celebration. Enjoy upscale properties, but don't need top-of-the-line. Would of course like to get a lot of bang for my buck.<BR>Need to limit ourselves to Western Caribbean since it's a 6 hour flight just to Jamaica.<BR>Am considering the following:<BR>1) Montego Bay<BR>2) Turks & Caicos<BR>3) Grand Cayman (I know we wouldn't be able to do an all inclusive here--this place may be most expensive?)<BR>Have a budget of about $3,000. Can this be done?<BR>Thank you for any response!

We are looking oursleves and came up with some great prices, especially to Jamaica but in both Ocho and MoBay and did find one in Turks. Email me and I can give you the info.<BR><BR>Penney

Don't know how you feel about waiting, but if you book within 21 days of arrival, there's a company called Changes in L'Attitudes which will arrange discounted rooms at many Jamaican resort. We used them last year and spent about $2000 for 4 nights at Couples Negril, from Tampa. We definitely got alot of bang for our buck, as you say! You have to telephone for rates, but I like to do that anyway, to make sure there's a real company behind the dot-com name. The URL is:<BR>http://www.lastminutejamaica.com/index.html

Check out luxurylink.com.<BR><BR> They run auctions on packages at high-end places, which seem to be going for half price. There's one on there now to a place in Puerto Rico where the current bid is under $1500 for 5 days valued at about $2500. Like that.<BR><BR> I have a friend who's done several of these with great satisfaction.
