    I've been thinking about a singles trip to TTR in February, and have been pouring over reviews on Tripadvisor, amongst others...

    I just read a review that gave me pause, however. The reviewer was also at TTR solo and was told at check-in that they'd have to pay double for their All-Inclusive because they were traveling solo.

    Is this true??

    Thanks in advance! :daveandmo:

    "I booked my reservation for one person thru RCI, after I got to the resort, I was told I would have to pay for two people for the all inclusive. They would not change it for single."

    Copied from a recent Tripadvisor review...

    There are plenty of single repeaters on here who can speak to how they charge for rooms. Take what you read on Trip Advisor with a grain of salt, though...you never quite know what motivates some of the comments on there.

    I've got no idea how singles are charged, as I've only gone as a couple...someone who has booked single will chime in. Trip Advisor tends to produce some uninformed reviews in general when it comes to Temptation.

    I thought the Premier fees/rates were per room , based on double occ.(135 to 225)


    Its always more $$ to travel solo, rooms are based on Double occupancy on travel sites.

    I believe most on here are premier members and not RCI

    a lot of differences in contracts , you will just have to ask the particular person you book with.

    I was going to book through Alpharooms...not sure if I'd have anyone to contact there regarding this issue.

    A quick check for March shows 1319 for single /room
    or
    2025 for double for room

    so that would equate to a 300 or so surcharge or a 300 discount for 2 staying in a room , is how the hotel looks at it

    When I put in an inquiry to Alpharooms about the week I want to be there (Feb 15-22) for ONE ADULT I get a rate of $122.03/night for a total of $854.21...

    I don't mean to sound like an idiot here, but I just don't understand the process...

    for example only


    Room is 100@ night

    AI fee per person 50@ night


    room for 1 = 150
    room for 2 = 200

    going solo does not mean half the price for the package , just for the AI fee




    AI is your food ,,drinks ect
