Any dates I pick, July/August/November...all give the same room types. Some are more expensive, but they do not describe them as jacuzzi. The only difference I see is they say garden or ocean view. I can go the Temptations main page, and can select it there, but it's like $500 more expensive. But, I guess I don't know if that is or is not close to what it would cost if I was able to do it from Orbitz or Cheaptickets. I'll try cheapcarribean. Thanks.
No luck with cheapcarribean either. I have two room choices for 7/25 - 8/1 dates. Deluxe Room or Deluxe Ocean View. It makes no sense to me. I can select the jacuzzi from Temptations site, if I was to book directly through them.
Yea I just did Cheap Caribbean and saw the same thing. I feel like months ago when I was booking, the Jacuzzi room was a third option and there was also the Temptation suite as a 4th option. Maybe they stopped offering these options to some 3rd party sites. I just looked at alpha rooms for the dates you listed. It's confusing with all the options they list, but I heard people before to just book the cheapest option of the room type you want. I circled the 3 below to help you out. Like I said, you might be better booking an ocean view, then trying to upgrade to a ground floor Jacuzzi once you are there. Even if that didn't work out, you’re would still have an ocean view, and just ask for it not to be by PattyOs. (I liked the 5000 block before when I had the ocean view, but things are a bit further to walk too). You may or may not use the Jacuzzi as much as you would think. I heard they are great in the cold or worse weather months. In Aug you might not need it. We didn't use ours on our September trip (surely would have if friends came over). We just ended up too stupid most days to worry about it.
good point about jacuzzi and time frame of being down there! May not be worth the hassle/expense. Do a little more digging and looking tonight. Thanks alot!
You don't want to book the jacuzzi room in advance anyway. We save hundreds by requesting an upgrade upon arrival. You will find the price to be $100-$300 more in advance on one of those sites. We have always been able to get $50 upon arrival. Highly recommend cheaptickets.com. I do tons of research and continually they are the best price for HOTEL only. Sometimes Expedia or orbitz wins when it is a package you are looking for but we typically get them separately. By the way, cheaptickets is now the same company as orbitz. It is their 'discount' site so base rates are typically cheaper, not always due to site specific promotions. Currently cheaptickets has an 18% off hotel promo code going on. But they always have a promo. Wait until you see it at atleast 20%. They change weekly. August is not a busy month by the way so jacuzzi rooms are highly unlikely to sell out. And any time to go is great in our opinion (except March lol, too many single guys)
Oh and just book the cheapest room when u see double bed, ocean, standard, etc at TTR it doesn't matter. Upgrade on site.
I got a bit nervous about ours not including the All inclusive reading here. I just called the Resort and confirmed we were good. I got nervous cause we got a good deal. Jen and Kyle have it right the upgrade is much cheaper on site.
we've just gone for the Double room, thought about upgrading, but don't really plan on spending a lot of time in there, more to spend on the Boobs Cruise:huepfen013:
Sounds like booking the cheapest and negotiating better upon arrival is the consensus. That's what we'll do! Plus, as ScubaSteve mentioned, we probably won't really need the jacuzzi in late June or late July. Wife is thinking now late June (last week). Wish she would make up her mind...lol. Late June is sooner! Wife is a little hesitant of the boob cruise. Being we never have been to this type of resort (topless) and are by no means in the 'lifestyle', she said she doesn't know if she would see herself getting topless. I showed her the youtube video of the cruise to get an idea. Of course my response was do what she feels comfortable doing, but mentioned, I'm sure it will depend on our mood and the vibe, to which she did agree. If we did the cruise, and she didn't feel comfortable topless, would we be the 'odd' ones on the boat? Don't want to be the couple back in the corner so to speak that are 'boring'. Also, typically how long is the boob cruise? Couple hours? How far does it go?
