Hotel question

milleniumthug,
call the hotel directly and use your Spanish. Ask for "reservaci?n". Give them your dates of travel and ask for "la tarifa". If the rates given to you are better then Orbitz or Expedia go ahead with the reservation.

I have found cheaper rates through Liberty travel and Expedia then dealing directly with the hotels.

Good luck

rates are much cheaper online than directly here for us locals, a fact i am always again and again pi$$ed about.
but it's fact.
book with an online agent and you get better rates than at the frontdesk here with cash in hands.
have fun

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm going up to Puerto Plata on Monday and online the rate was US$94/night while when I contacted the Sales Manager thru MY hotel Director (hoping that between bosses they could work something out) I got quoted US$135!! Go figure! You would think that with 60% occupancy and going down they would be happy to give us locals a break

yes Katy,
i will spend with the Mrs dominican mothers day weekend 3 days at the Majestic,
i contacted the Boss whom i know in person, he gave me right away a great rate, compared to the officially over the counter rate he gave me a great rate and i am happy with it, but then i found due a friend that the new Bahia Esmeralda, which is usually more expensive, been available through online agents for even much less than that. i have absolutely no clue how such sometimes very big differences can pop up.
