Great Getaway
Purchased this trip after seeing an ad online. What a steal! We booked in December and went during MLK weekend to escape the NY cold. Based on the itinerary we received, it looks like we only paid for the hotel and airport transfer and got the hotel for free.
Airport transfer got us to the hotel on a clean luxury bus. Upon arrival, found out the hotel had upgraded us to an island view room from a no-view room. We took it up a notch and paid $20 per night for another upgrade and got an oceanview room which was totally worth it.
The hotel itself was in a prime location, near plenty of shopping and restaurants. The "beach" was nice and never crowded, however, we found the hotel to be located in a very windy spot (which meant not a comfortable nap for us given all our stuff was flying around). We rented a car through the on-site car rental (Budget) and were able to visit Cas Abao, Mambo, and Porto Mari beaches (which were amazing and worth the visit).
We didnt get a drop of rain during our week stay even though the weather forecast said there'd be scattered showers every night.
Overall, great value for a quick getaway!
