Rates for Sandals Royal Bahamian
I've been researching rates for Sandals on the usual websites such as Expedia, Hotels.com and Travelocity. Does anyone know of any other reliable travel websites that may offer competitive rates for Sandals in March?
Thanks
Thanks

Why don't you just book through Sandals themselves. That is what I did, that way you get a great rate on airfare. Plus when you call they can answer all of your questions, they are really helpful. So why have a middle man when you can go straight to the source. Go to Sandals.com or call 1-800-SANDALS.

1-800-sandals is still more expensive than Twinsburg travel.com. I booked through Sandals originally and ended up cancelling my reservation with Sandals because I got a better deal through Twinsburg.

Yes but if you book through Sandals direct then you are guarunteed everything whereas if you book through another agent then you have a MIDDLE MAN. And I personally do not like that. I like to know everything that is going on and if they have any problems then they contact you and not your travel agent. Plus if you purchase through Sandals direct then you get cheaper airfare because they buy their tickets in bulk and can get a cheaper rate therefore they sell them to you for cheaper. Whereas if you were to purchase them yourself it would be more expensive. For example: if I had booked my own tickets through the airline it would have been $500 per person whereas booking through Sandals I got my tickets for $600 for 2 people.

I already have my airfare booked using Frequent Flyer miles. Also, I've found an agent thru the website honeymoontravel.com who has rates that are $60/night lower than Sandals or the main travel websites. Since we are staying 4 nights that's a $240 savings. And as long as this website is reputable I've found that dealing with a middle man saves me some money. I will call the other two places mentioned above though to comparison shop. Thanks for your help!

Depending on where you are traveling from, you might check the package deals offered by Apple and FunJet. They always seem to beat the prices of booking on my own, including Expedia and Travelocity.
