I want the room where I can get the best deal, really. Right now for a party of four, (mock reservation) in July, UTourist has the lowest price. It is at the hotel, and even with the added fees, it is still cheaper. And I must have a good cancellation policy. Very forgiving one, and UT looks great.
On the timeshare side, it’s pretty likely you could find a rental at a better price than the Orbitz promo.
True, but I have to have a nice cancellation policy. I will pay a little more for that.
Not sure of your dates, but there are always deals to be had. You have to look for timeshare rentals hard to find the best deals. I have seen 1BR deals for July at $600 for the week, 2BR early August for $700 for the week. I have also seen people renting them for $4,000. That is why you have to do your homework. I am not saying the $700 are scams, you just have to search for those deals and look all over.
I actually did my "mock" reservation with the July dates on Orbitz and Cheap Tickets yesterday and got an awesome price on a one-bedroom with the discount code applied. So what I have learned is to do my homework, and check every site for the best prices and cancellation policies for not only the hotel side, but the time share side as well. The one thing the hotel side has in its favor is the location, knowing where we would be located before we got there.
Yes, you would be at the back of the resort next between the 2 slide pools. That's about it. There are no bad buildings there, so that would be a nonissue for me.
