Whooohooo! Our rates went down!!!

[Dez921714]

Our TA just got the final contract for our group of rooms and the rates are acutally lower than we were origionally quoted!

 

It sucks because I JUST sent out a post card with "actual rates" but I don't think $20 per night would make or break anyone...just maybe make them a little happy when they book

 

Origional Prices we were quoted (per night) & new prices

Single - $412 now $397

Double - $452 now $422

Tripple - $654 now $609

Quad - $840 now $780

 

Like I said, not a huge difference...but at least it's something!

Great news!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!!

[nikkianddean]

that is awesome! your guests will be so excited - every PENNY counts

[lucy106]

Yeah! Finally great news about rates! Thanks for sharing!

[jajajaja]

Well $20 adds up for a several night stay. Is that a AI?

That's great news! It might sound sneaky, but I would consider keeping the extra to cover an additional party or something there. $20 to each person is not a lot spread out over a week (or however long) but if you have to pay $1000 for a reception, that's a lot out of your pocket. Just a thought...

[Dez921714]

Yes, it's AI...and the resort is going to lose money with our group!!!! Most of our friends plan to be trashed from morning to night LOL I told them that's fine as long as they can function the day of the wedding!

 

Our TA is going over it with a fine tooth comb right now. I agree that every bit counts! Especially since we have some singles with money issues who want to come and share rooms...this way, the Quad works out to $198 per person per night...All food, drinks, taxes, gratuities included (although, people usually tip anyway, but they don't have to)

We're kindof doing that already with the TA

We thought we would get our monies worth too, but we had a hard time getting drunk. Not sure if it was watered down booze or too much food in the belly! LOL

Haha, we learned during our 2004 trip, that a couple of tips in the beginning on the night help to get your drinks strong! I actually had to have FI go back and get me a soda so that I could dilute my drink, it was SOOO strong I couldn't drink it!!!!!

 

We have some big drinkers as friends!
