    When using Alpharooms and Travel Republic, there is the option to put 1 or 2 people/room and it is a different price between 1 or 2 people. That doesn't make sense. Once the room is booked, it is booked. What are all of you doing when booking on these sites as a couple? Do you just book as one person for the lower rate (@$1000 for 7 days in February) or stating 2 people (which is $1350 - $2000 for the same 7 days in February)?

    I was about to book it just for myself and have my wife come and "stay" with me. But decided I should find out what most of you are doing on here when booking on these sites. Thanks.

    Don't think that will work because Temptations is all inclusive. When you check in you each get a bracelet for the resort, without the bracelet they will make you leave. Sounded like a good plan though.

    There are 2 different prices because you are not just paying for the room, you're paying for the drinks and food as well. I'm guessing that if you didn't book 2 people they would just charge u the difference when you get there, which could be quite a bit more. Hope that helps! :)

    That makes sense. Glad I didn't book it yet. If I want to book Feb 14-21st, when do you think rates will be back in the $130-150/night/couple range on Alpharooms and Travel Republic? Just cancelled our January trip due to a change in plans and have rescheduled our flights for those dates. Need to book the hotel still.

    price for May

    Right now Alpharooms is listing a price of $90 per person per day for May 2013. Does anyone know of a cheaper price?

    Alpha rooms usually has the cheapest price for ''room only'' bookings,, lately expedia has had the best deals when you book flight and hotel together.

    the discount show up on the last page

    get the feeling hotel is booked heavy from reports and comments

    ''Book it '' ,,,, sometimes works and Orbitz

    depends where your fliyng from, my comments are for North America
