Ok, So i took your advice and checked on cheapcaribbean.com and I think i have come across something amazing... and wanted to share with you all who are thinking of going back or going for the first time...

here is what the deal is at least out of buffalo....

7 days\6 nights for $749/PP

Includes:

Round-Trip flights on a major airline from your departure city to Montego Bay, Jamaica

-6 nights in a Standard Room at the Holiday Inn Sunspree Montego Bay

-All meals, beverages (alcoholic & non-alcoholic), and non motorized water sports

-All tips and gratuities

Does not Include

-Ground Transportation to and from the airport

-Tax and Service Charges*

So i got a few questions about this...

How much is ground transportation from the Airport to HI sunspree?????? Since when we just went it was free!!!

And the taxes shouldnt be too bad....

The deal is until Feb. 1st, and lets you travel all the way until June 30th, 2006....

So here we go again, if I can talk Kristen into it, which i dont think it will be too hard....

Here is the Link if anyone wants it, just save a room for us... he he...

cheapcaribbean.com/specialAvailability.jsp…

Irie mon, time to get the drinking legs back on..... lol

Hi Sean,

Worth noting that sometimes the "taxes and fees" can be well over 200$ each.

As far as the transfers go they will be about 30$ each round trip.

For six nights that's a good price, although I've seen cheaper.

Blessings and respect to you.

Steve

Not to put a damper on things but I "think" I had read about some people having problems with cheapcaribbean.com last year...deposits being lost, no record of reservations, etc...

Hopefully, I'm wrong & you can start booking for your return to Paradise :)

People from my office have used cheapcaribbean numerous times and never had a problem. Actually someone just made a booking for the Sunspree on the same special you spoke about. I have only heard great things about them. My personal opinion - Go for it!

You need to go through the booking process without actually booking to see what the 'real' cost will be. I think the taxes on the airfare alone will be $100.

Skyauction.com has an auction going for H/I right now and only one person has bid on it. The auction is for non AI but says you can add that for $40 per person per day. Which, if no one else bids on the auction would cost you $73 pp per day total, includes AI. For that price I'd go stay at Starfish and save some money.

Hi Sean, not to be a party pooper either however there is $257 taxes per person on top of those rates. Enjoy.
