Stay Longer – Save More at Universal Orlando Hotels

Universal Orlando is one of Central Florida’s largest and most popular theme parks.  Three of the attraction’s on-site hotels are offering special perks to all guests and “stay longer -save more” packages to families that want to book an extended stay.

The three hotels offering this deal are the Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Hard Rock Hotel and Loews Portofino Bay Hotel.  All three properties hold an AAA 4-diamond rating.

The stay longer – save more deal awards long-term guests with extra nights at no additional charge.  Guests who book five nights will only have to pay for three.  Reserve a room for four nights, and you can receive three additional nights free.  That’s a total of seven nights at one of America’s best theme parks for the price of four nights.  The promotion runs until March 26th.

Aside from offering your wallet a break, these Orlando hotel deals also give guests a convenient way to bypass the long lines that plague Universal (and every other popular theme park in the world).  The Universal Express Pass, free for guests at the two Loews  and the Hard Rock Hotel, allows park-goers to skip the standard lines and speed through the special express lanes instead.

Picture 7

The hotels at Universal are also running Springtime specials (March 26th – June 9th) that offer up to 25% off of a 5 night stay.

Each of the three hotels offer a different theme.  Loews Portofino Bay resembles a luxury Mediterranean  resort while the Royal Pacific resort offers a tropical resort experience that wouldn’t be out of place on the South Pacific’s most popular islands.

Hawaii can be one of the most expensive wintertime destinations in the US.  Airfares and pricey resorts can quickly spoil the most well-planned travel budget.  However there are discounts, pr0motions and 00 that can make a vacation in the 50th state much more affordable, even during the high season.

Aston Hotels and Resorts, with properties on Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Big Island, is offering one of this winter’s best deals.  Rates at Aston’s hotels and resorts will be discounted up to 40% this winter.  That means prices as low as $89 per night.

The reason that this is such an attention-grabbing promotion is because so many different locations and resort-types are included.  Centrally-located hotels like the Aston Waikiki Circle Hotel (from $91 per night) offer visitors a chance to stay in the center of Oahu’s beach and tourism scene for a very reasonable price.

On the opposite end of the spectrum are the Aston Waimea Plantation Cottages on Kauai.  These deluxe cottages offer garden views, a level of seclusion and privacy not available in hotels, and a reasonable price tag of $176 per night.

With rental condos, villas, suites and standard hotel rooms available at resorts bearing the Aston name, this state-wide promotion truly falls into the “something for everyone” category.

The 40% off deals can be booked now for travel between January 3rd and March 31st.

To make a reservation or to check if Aston has a hotel or resort in your favorite corner of the Hawaiian Islands, visit the company’s web site, call 1-866-774-2924 or inqure about Aston properties at your travel agent’s office.

Belize is fast becoming a hot-spot for eco-tourists and romantics who are tired of the usual Caribbean resort scene.  The Kanantik Reef and Jungle Resort offers the quintessential Central American eco-adventure experience.  It is also a romantic and remote alternative beach destination for travelers heading to the Caribbean to escape the cold of winter.

A recently launched promotion will make this eco-vacation option even more affordable than usual.  Standard cabana rates are $300 per night.  Guests who book three nights will receive a fourth night free.  That’s a savings of $300 or 25% off the total bill.  Those who book five nights will receive two additional nights free, for an overall savings of $600.  The promotion lasts until April 2010.

Kanantik is an ideal destination for nature lovers and couples seeking a romantic getaway.  Families with older children are also welcome (children over the age of 13 are permitted on the resort).  In addition to the jungle tours, there is plenty of wildlife swimming in the waters off of the coast near the resort.
