    We have been going to Mexico/Carribean once a year for the last 13 years. The most fun we ever had was at Blue Bay Getaway. But we always tried different resorts. After about 7 years we decided to go back to the resort that was the most fun that we ever had, which was now called Temptations. We went there 3 more times and thoroughly enjoyed the drunken debauchery. This year the prices were creeping up at Temptations and we got a good deal to go to Punta Cana and decided to go there. It was gorgeous but not anywhere near the fun of Temptations. I get on this website a couple times a week to just read about the resorts and was so happy to hear about Steve's visit to GOV. We just booked 10 days and 9 nights from April 25th to May 4th. It was $900 cheaper than Temptations, we still have 2 kids in college. $900 buys a couple books. Thank you so much Steve. We will definitely use USA Transfers like we always do, through this site. Now can you give us some suggestions on college tuition. lol Thanks again.

    We'll be at TTR during that time frame, and will probably hit up GOV for a tour... We'll have to try and get together to get your opinion since you will be staying there at that time!

    Where did you book through? I am looking at Alpharooms and it was a couple hundred more than TTR.

    We booked our room on Orbitz.com, and it was approx. $100/night less than TTR. Early April 2014.

    We booked thru southwest airlines,but we just checked and Temptation and Gov are very close in price now. I actually checked our reservation to make sure it was for two people and not one. lol.
