FS Nevis - $200 DAILY resort credit with ~$400 rooms + FSPP amenities

This is one of the screaming best deals I've seen in a long while.

FS Nevis, from July 4 - December 19, has a Preferred Partner Experience More Resort Credit rate that comes with a $200 DAILY incidental credit per room if you stay in an Oceanside or Ocean View room.

I've seen rates ranging from $395 - $495 for these rooms, so you're paying a net $195-$295 per night.

FSPP amenities also come with the deal:
  • Daily full American breakfast for two people per bedroom, served through In-Room Dining or in the hotel restaurant (including buffets)
  • Choice of USD100 Spa credit (not applicable to products) or USD100 golf credit
  • Upgrade of one category, based on availability at time of check-in (excluding signature suites and villas)
  • Complimentary high-speed Internet access for all guest room and suite bookings

In fairness DavidO, the $395.00 rates are on Mountain side rooms, which will pull only a $100.00 credit daily credit (unless you found a date that has a oceanside for $395).

There is an ad-hoc Preferred Partner promotion which includes a confirmed upgrade and special values for family travel which still makes Nevis an attractive value (esp for those looking for post-thankgiving pre-festive)

Sounds like an excellent deal!

I do wonder only about the "Personal warm welcome by management" which seems a touch strange- do other guests not receive this?

Anyway- all joking aside (and the above was a bit of a joke)- the offer is very very good for London.

Whilst a good offer, where does the £350 value come in? A Mercedes E is £150, an S a little more. What are they using (I would have guessed S class or similar)?

The hotel stated it was a 350£ value, probably what they charge for round-trip transfers.

Gbp 150 is that one way ? Seems a good deal for round's trip.

Maybe gbp 350 is RT from the most expensive London airport transfer

The company we use generally charges £150 return. I think you have to add on congestion charge if applies and parking, but it's still a good deal. New cars and mostly ex-police drivers. If you prefer BMW vs Mercedes, say in advance. You can say I mentioned you on FT if price comes back higher, although it's always possible rates increase due to fuel costs etc.

Last time I stayed in London I payed 139 GBP inclusive tax for a round-trip LHR-FSPL with Prompt Airportcars. One way it was a brand new S-Class, the other way a BMW 7er. Hotels charges really shameless rates for transfers
