If you are talking about Juan Aguilar he is no longer manager and has returned to Spain.I dont understand why you cannot book from Atlantic Canada,check with other travel agencys than the one you are using such as air transat travel the new airline leaving Halifax soon buzz air or out of Moncton(my home town)with i forget which airline.If not go to www.occidental resorts.com and book direct.Unfortunatly I cant help more than that as I can only reserve for members of the v.i.p. club.

Hi Johnny

Just for clarification - in the Atlantic Provinces; the new charter airline is Zoom Air and they are contracted to Go Travel Direct for Halifax based flights. AirTransat is the charter airline for AirTransat Vacations, World of Vacations and Signature Vacations out of Halifax and St. John's. SkyService is the charter airline for Conquest out of Halifax and Moncton.

But none of these tour operators include your resort in their offerings.

That is what is frustrating for drfan.

I was wondedring how did you obtain the VIP pass at Occidental Flamenco as per your number of stays. Did you apply/ask for it, or do you have time shares with them. Is the VIP only for Club Miguel. Apply by email if you wish.

dude check out hume-travel.com
i think you might be able to find something.

q? why not spend an extra $60 or so for a return Greyhound ticket to the nearest city (i'm sure it wouldn't be that far) that has departures to your destinaiton?

Hi Lee-Lee

Greetings from Atlantic Canada.

Just for the record (no way for you to know of course) but the dude is a dudette.

drfan's problem is not getting to POP - any of the charter airlines in my above posting will take her as a flight only customer but no tour operator from Atlantic Canada (this year) matches a flight with the hotel she wants (unlike previous years). Once you start building your own package it becomes prohibitively expensive because if as Johnny suggested you book on-line with a hotel chain you end up paying some ridiculous rack rate (you'll probably be the only guest in the hotel paying that much). Because of bulk buying and competition between tour companies package pricing tends to be at levels which offer significant discounts to anything which an individual can put together on his/her own. This is the same phenomenon which makes it difficult to financially justify staying at non-AI's since it may actually cost you the same or more - for less (leaving for the moment the intangible non-AI experiences which are definitely worth something).

I checked out your Hume Travel website and they didn't offer the hotel she is seeking either; but their pricing does look competitive.

Good luck in your quest, drfan.

The V.I.P. members i refered to are what Gonzaga refered to as time share however thatis not quite the right deffinition in this case,Sorry but if no tour opperators are offering the hotel I cant help you,however on the web site there are often good offers and not always rack rate if you contact the hotel chain explain you have stayed in our hotel several times and it is now not available I am sure they will fix you up.Good luck
