    :blueshock: We've booked through a few different places and a few times the resort tries to give us one of those standard garden view rooms. We asked to change it and it wasn't a problem. Now my question is with this alpharooms will I have a problem changing rooms. I'm not a fan of the garden veiw rooms only because the bathroom window faces into the room. However for 1000.00 dollar savings how much do you stay in the room??

    Traveling from Indiana ...going in April. Used Alpharooms for the first time. Had used Vacation Express 4 other times. I always book my own air. Saved 350.00 this time with Alparooms also went and got a prepaid mastercard and saved the credit card fee when booking. Plan on booking transfers with USA Transfer.

    For the first time i used american airlines and it was cheaper than Expeada. But with bankruptcy we may have to sleep by the pool. At least well be there.

    Deb we have used Alpharooms and had our choice of rooms when we got there. So I would say you can change rooms even though you used Alpharooms.

    We shopped online and found flight times we liked and price we wanted. Took that info to our travel agent and she matched
    the price. Nice to keep business local when possible!
