Luxury Link Website
 
Has anyone ever used this website to purchase a carribean vacation? Is it legitimate and trustworthy?

Asked and answered many, many times. Please search for "Luxury Link".

yes, and good luck if you can get the search engine to work. :-)
I've used Luxury Link 3 times and they were great. Do read the fine print, though. I actually called the place I was bidding on to see if rooms were available before bidding. If you can do weekday travel or off season a bit, it's an incredible bargain.

There's a negative comment over on Trip Advisor:

Yikes, just read that negative comment.

I would make sure that you not book other non-refundable reservations before getting your LuxuryLink package finalized. Make sure you mention LuxuryLink when contacting the property, because their packages are linked to a specific type of room. And make sure you confirm right before the bid, and the bid is right before auction close.

That said, I did this in November 2004 for a trip to Paris, and it was a GREAT deal, and went very smoothly.

We've used Luxury Link five times (New Zealand, South Africa, Austria, Belize and Scotland) and each trip was absolutely fantastic.

Yes, you need to do some coordination between your other reservations, but there are great deals to be had on great vacations.

Out of curiosity I have checked a few of the deals on Luxury Link against booking the same package for off peak travel with the properties directly and other travel consolidators. Often the same prices (or better) can be had by doing a little leg work on your own. Check first, if you have concerns.

Thanks for all of the advice. It was great to hear all of the positive comments. On the other hand, Suzie, thanks for the link to the negative comment as well. Wow! Even though that is only one persons opinion, it does make me slightly skeptical. I still may try them though. I will just make sure I read everything and confirm everything
