    Any opinions on best way to book a week at Temptations? Through the TTR website itself? Expedia or Travelocity? Elsewhere? AND any reason it'd matter, other than maybe small price difference? THANKS!

    Hey there, this our 7th visit and we have always gone with a package deal, but I've been checking out this Alpharooms and not sure for you guys south of us Canadians but for us we noticed the rooms are 1/2 the price as compared to Expedia and Temptations and many others. This however is our first time doing this but have seen others on here that have used it and haven't heard any complaints. (If you do it be sure to call your credit card company and inform them before you make the reservations this company is in the UK)

    For us, it seems a package deal directly through Temptations seems to be the best price. We booke our first trip last Feb and our upcoming Jan 22 trip through them.

    We used Cheap Caribbean last year, and Travelocity for our upcoming trip. Travelocity ended up saving us about $400-$500, and we're even staying one night longer this year. :)

    Expedia was the cheapest for us this year, especially w/ a free $200.00 debit card refund when we get back!

    If you can get a cheap flight from where you live, then book your room with Alpharooms through Steve's link. If you cannot get a cheap flight, like us flying from Minneapolis, then it is cheapest to book through Expedia and combine the flight/hotel. However, if you want an ocean view room or any better room than the standard garden view room, don't use Alpharooms, they are only low when it comes to standard garden view rooms.

    We just shop around. One trip it was cheaper thru TTR. Another trip through Bookit.com. Another Travelocity. This time through Expedia. Wherever was cheapest with decent flight times, that's where we book.
