Wow GREAT prices. We are leaving out of Atlantic city and we are paying 786.00 for air, transfers and a Jr. Suite for 6days. We have great flight times too on spirit.

[Heidi]

OK...I know rates increase annually but really?? We are paying $3300 for Jr Suite for 7 nights, air & transfer with flights out of Philly.... that's A LOT different!!!!!

[Jerzzygirl]

OMG thats alot!! The last time we went there in Nov. had a JR suite we paid alittle over 900.00 pp OUT of PHILLY!!!That price seems a bit high. What travel group did your agent use? Tell her to get a qutoe from GOGO tours or even Apple. She must have booked everything seperate? Some of my guests will be traveling on a thursday and leaving sunday so for 3 nights the price is just 280.00. By the way my prices went alittle lower since we 1st booked and my agent called GO GO tours and they adjusted our prices.

WOW!!! My guests coming for 3 nights are paying ~$1000!

I used a friend's mom that is a travel agent and I believe she negotiated directly with RIU and with Air Jamaica. Including airfare from Philly, 3 nights is arpund $800. Most people are coming for 5 nights and it is around $1050. You should definitely check out what is going on! That seems really expensive!

Are you guys talking about the same place? This thread is making my head swim!!!

[Heidi]

OH MY GOSH!!! I'm starting to get mad!!! We already booked through my TA - put down a $300 deposit for the trip @ $3300, and a few guests have put down the same deposits for their trips. I emailed her with the info (she's traveling right now and only available via email), hopefully I hear from her soon. If I don't, any ideas about what to do

Is the deposit refundable? If so, I would start getting prices from other TAs.
