Last Minute Deal on Bermuda Vacation Package

Submitted 2.03.10 in Airfare Deals, Resort Deals | 1 Comment | Add Comment

Bermuda is unlike the other “tropical destination islands” in the Caribbean.  It hangs on to much of the culture that comes from its status as a British overseas territory.  It is more about high tea and country clubs than rum-based punches and lounging on the beach (though there are plenty of sandy stretches to explore and plenty of unique alcoholic beverages available).  The old forts, classy restaurants, low-key nightlife, and high-quality golf courses make this one of the more unique destinations in the North American tropics.

Unfortunately Bermuda is one of the more expensive Caribbean islands to visit.  Import taxes raise the price of goods, which are further inflated in tourist areas, and steep airport fees cause airlines to charge much more than standard Caribbean fares.

This is all the more reason to take advantage of special promotions when they come along.  An early March promotion offers a reasonable flight and hotel package for the Grotto Bay Beach Resort, which sits one a few minutes from the town of Saint George and the international airport.  The 4 night fly-and-sleep deal starts at $639 per person.

This will be one of the better chances to see Bermuda on the cheap.  The only catch is that you have to book by the end of this week (Friday, March 5th) and travel by March 26th.  That might seem like a last minute trip, but there are some welcome extras to take some of the uncertainty out of the deal.  The $639 includes both trip insurance, should weather make travel impossible, and a $100 discount if there is a significant amount of rainfall during the four day stay.

Grotto Bay is more than your typical, bland “package” resort.  It features well manicured lawns, three private beaches, an in-house dive shop, tennis courts and a network of underground caves (which give the resort its name).  Yes, there are cheaper packages if you choose another Caribbean island, but you will not be able to find the landscape, attractions, activities, and atmosphere of places like the Grotto on other islands for this price.

Glacier Bay

Holland America has put on sale a seven-day Alaska cruise, according to the Washington Post. Rate is from $499 per person double, down from $949. Taxes of $108 are additional. The cruise departs from Seward (Anchorage) May 16. Also in the article, Universal Orlando Resort has extended its Military Salute program, which offers active and retired military personnel a free seven-day base ticket to both of its Florida theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. The pass, which is also valid at select Universal CityWalk clubs and venues, is good through March 26.

According to Sophie Butler, hotel rates in European cities are down 12 per cent compared with this time last year. Barcelona, Lisbon and Dublin are among the cities that have had the biggest drop in hotel prices (up to an 18 per cent fall compared with last January), with average double room rates at about £70 per night. Amsterdam and Madrid are about 12 per cent lower and Paris hotels are five per cent down. Learn more in her article in today’s Telegraph.

Also of interest, European ski destinations are offering dramatic savings on ski packages. According to Peter Hardy in the Daily Mail, you can find amazing discounts in Austria, Slovenia, Italy, and of course Switzerland. An example, stay in Kranjska Gora in Slovenia at the Hotel Lek, a comfortable four-star in a good position for easy access to the slopes: One week half-board from February 20 with Gatwick, Stansted and regional flights to Salzburg was £525, now £345.

In the USA, you can find a room at $82-$112 per night for a Washington, D.C. hotel stay. The Churchill Hotel offers travelers a haven of old-world refinement amidst the modern-day bustle of the nation’s capital. From the inviting ambiance of its finely appointed lobby to the gracious appointment of its over-sized guest rooms to the personal attentiveness of its professionally trained staff every aspect of the hotel has been carefully arranged to meet the requirements of the most discriminating guests.

Hilary Nangle at the Boston Globe on discount vacations in Bermuda reveals that by visiting between November and March, when temperatures are usually in the 60s, Bermuda is uncrowded and affordable. Be sure to visit Best Travel Deals to vote on the best Bermuda hotel deals.
