Questions about booking for the "off season"
Last August, My boyfriend and I went to Aruba for the first time (Aruba + me = love at first sight!)
We stayed at the Marriott Resort and Stellaris Casino and honestly, I managed a sweet deal (less than 175 dollars per night!!!) Of course, I am trying to maneuver another trip down in Aug, '10 -- i was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the best time to book? I just looked now and it was no where near what I paid. (Of course, I really loved the Marriott and the Radisson looked great as well -- any opinions on which one is a better stay? Beach, bar, food, ect wise?) More importantly... Any thoughts on the best time to book the hotel for an August stay??? Input is welcome! apach@bu.edu |

time to look is now
have you thought of going to redweek.com and looking to rent a timeshare unit. you CAN get something nice for less than $175 per night you can most likely get a 1 bedroom timeshare for a range of $1000 per week, maybe less. i have stayed at the marriott stellaris using priceline name your own price for about $95 per night utilize this forum and check out the timeshare category check out redweek.com see if you can visit the resorts websites andrea Quote:

Keep looking - Marriott has on and off promotions often.
If you work for any big companies some of them have negotiated discounts with marriott as well - look into that.

Agreed - always read the fine print before booking. Marriott is pretty good at disclosing the non-refundable rates up front. Not so sure of other hotels.
