YMMV as I have an upcoming trip to Spain for Sept and i couldn't find any lower rates with this promo but thought I would post in case it helps someone else.

"What, no properties in the Americas?! How dare you Starwood? How dare you? I:

- feel snubbed
- have upcoming stays in North America
- hate "targeted" promos
- yada, yada, yada"

Ok, everyone, that's done! No need to post the same for the rest of the thread! :D

My guess is that the Europe Q3 promotion will be announced August 26th...

Or should that be the Q3.5 promo?

I got a much cheaper rate with Z5R!

Some rates in the Middle East are just amazing - approx. 50% off of the regular rates. I just wish I was going there in October and not November :(.

On the web page for the "Amazing August sale," there is a pic of a beautiful island. I've gone through the list of sale destinations and can't work out where this island is....can anyone enlighten me please?.....and if not, just let me know where the island is!

The Z*R rates are usually the best when they're available.

There are some beaches that look like that on the island, but the one in front of the Le Méridien is so full of rocks that it is very unpleasant to try to swim there. Trou aux Biches and Mont Choisy, which are nearby, have wonderful white sand and calm waters. The hotel pool is also very nice.
