6 Easy Ways to Save on Hotel Bookings

Posted on by . 4 Replies

Are you interested in the easiest ways to save on hotel bookings? Here’s another question for you. Hotels or airfare: which do you spend more of your money on? I’m much more concerned about saving money on hotels than I am about saving on air travel. Most, if not all, of my long haul flights are booked on award miles. This means that this year, as has been the case for many years now, I spent way more on hotels than I did on airline tickets. And I also spent way more time in hotels than in the air! Most years I spend over 80 nights in just Hyatt properties alone. When I add in the other hotel nights in other properties, well that’s a lot of money. No matter how many nights YOU spend in hotels, finding some way to save on hotel spending would be nice, don’t you think? Continue reading →

Hotel Review: Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos All-Inclusive Resort

Posted on by . 3 Replies

I had intended to review another property in Cabo, but due to the problems, I left after one day and booked my remaining 5 days at the Hyatt Ziva Los Cabos.

This property was great and I really had no problems during my stay. The stay cost me 20,000 Hyatt points per night, so 100,000 points total for the stay. Since this property is an all-inclusive, they usually charge more for the room depending on the number of occupants; single occupancy is the cheapest. This makes sense as they are essentially paying for the food and drink of all occupants. I was surprised that the 20,000 points per night was the same for 1 or 2 occupants, but the cash price was not. For only 7.3 million Hyatt points, you could live here for a year, all-inclusive. Well, you would have to find someone to do your laundry as that’s not included, but everything else is!

6 Wyndham Timeshare Vacation Packages Under $200 (3 Days / 2 Nights)

Posted on by . 19 Replies

Good afternoon everyone.  I have a short post about Wyndham Timeshare Vacation Packages.  Right now, there are 6 different vacation packages available under $200.  Each timeshare vacation package is 3 days / 2 nights.  According to the terms, you must attend a 120 minute timeshare presentation (and if you are married, your spouse must attend as well).  I have done a few timeshare vacation packages in the past and have a Westin Mission Hills Resort in Palm Springs and Hyatt Carmel Highlands timeshare package booked for the near future.  Timeshare presentations are not terrible and the great vacation packages will save you hundreds of dollars.
