I agree - I found a much better deal with a Costco package. Since my reservation I've checked different dates, and rooms come on/go off, sometimes a Bay View King is $250 "less" or $250 "more" for the package - it just depends on what they are offering. Here are my prices, broken down for August 15-20th, for 2 adults:The last time this came up, I checked prices, and it was cheaper for the package. I think it was a package through Costco, though.
And what I looked at showed a change/cancel policy that was totally fine.
So things might be changing.
But do the math. Read the policies. KNOW what you’re getting.
Drives me nutty that the packages give you a reservation at 3B and LC. Those are counter service places. It’s mystifying. And you’re paying the cost anyway.
But if the total cost is better and the policies are fine, then there’s no reason not to.
Total Cost of Package | 2,693.23 |
Cost of Flights, including taxes/fees (from Boston) | 516.44 |
Cost of Tickets | 724.2 |
Cost of Hotel Including Tax (Portofino Bay, King Bay View) | 1452.59 |
Cost of Hotel Per Night, Including Tax | 290.518 |
Hotel cost per night, pre tax | 258.24 |
Tax on Hotel Room, per night | 32.28 |
Total Check | 2693.23 |
You might want to look at Costco Travel, and also price hotels with one annual pass - if it is during school vacation week, you may not get a discount, but who knows?
