[EXPIRED] Puerto Vallarta-Westin Jr. Jazuzzi Suite Breakfast Package $25

AAA rate. On the SPG website. Example of dates, 11/4-11/11 and 12/9-12/16.

This is another one that has to be booked as 1 person. Change to 2ppl and it goes up to $235

What would happen if you turned up with 2 people?

Thanks

It would probably void your reservation. Why take a chance, book 2 rooms. Still a very good deal.

Thanks for the advice, I just booked 2 rooms. Are SPG allowed to cancel what is clearly an error rate, or would I now be in a good position to do a deal with them. Clearly it is in their interests to let me have dual occupancy on 1 suite rather than let me have both suites for $50 a night!

No advice at all on this. I have never dealt with them, or stayed in one of their hotels for that matter. I made mine for the middle of Dec, so I can wait quite a while to purchase airfare.

The booking engine is working again for me and I see a few weekends are sold out for this rate. Perhaps between this and the Sheraton we should have a flyertalk meet-up!

Puerto Vallarta-Westin Jr. Jazuzzi Suite Breakfast Package $25

What's the cheapest way to join aaa? I'm correct in thinking I need to do so for this rate?

Just had cancellation emails from the hotel directly. Does anyone know the legal position on this? It's obviously an error price, but are they obliged to deliver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I booked both rooms direct on SPG.com and have had cancellation emails direct from the hotel if that helps.

Ditto, although it has not been cancelled on the SPG website. Could be they honor it when upper management gets involved. Win some, lose some is my feeling.

I quite expect to lose, I'm just hoping someone has experience of this sort of thing and can help maximise any potential outcomes. When you refer to senior management getting involved, do you have any good ways of doing this?

Thanks
