Okay so currently I am shopping around for a TA. I had one that I wanted to use, turns out customer service is not her thing. So I googled TAs in my area and emailed EVERYONE. I have been in contact with quite a few just asking for prices hoping to find one to give my business to.

Well there is one so far that is amazingly nice and attentive, however her rates are outrageous! I told her I love her, but cant afford her and will have to go with another that I found. She said she would do more work in hopes to lower the rates she was quoted at. A week later she said "the resort is really questioning the other rate you got, can you send me a copy?"

Can I do that? Is that fair to give out the other TAs rate information like that? I want her to get the lowest rate possible, I feel icky forwarding the quote I received.

I was just going to suck it up and send it, but when I got online to the resorts website, the rates it gave me were $45pp/night cheaper! That is hugely significant and makes me wonder if would be even worth it to respond to this TA.

Long story, sorry, but I need advice!

When we were shopping around for prices, we were hoping to use our usual TA, so we took the lowest quote down there to see if they could match it and they did. We have done this almost every trip that we take. My Mom finds a good deal, usually online and she tells them that this is what we want, and that is what we get.

 

Honestly, the one time we found a cheap flight that went down to LA the day we wanted to go, and it was with an airline that our TA doesn't usually deal with, but she got on the phone and pulled a few strings, and ta-da....we got our flight. If we didn't take the info in we wouldn't have got what we wanted.

 

The first TA we were about to book with was expensive and straight out told me she wouldn't price match.....so we cancelled our appointment and booked elsewere.

 

Show her the quotes you got.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
