either >

Great Idea Kage!

There are currently very low rates for Taj Exotica on Jetsetter, IIRC around $800/night++ for overwater with pool.

I tend not to book through third-party websites, but occasionally will if threre is an especially good deal. I have had some success at getting certain hotels to match 3rd party advertised rates.

RC Hong Kong is now offering 3rd night free on Club rooms, Deluxe Island Suites and Premier Executive Suite on Virtuoso rate.

Includes all Virtuoso amenities plus one signature cocktail per person per stay at Ozone or The Lounge and Bar.

Good until 10 September 2013.

Does this apply to all club room categories? I would specifically be interested in the Club Grand Deluxe category (formerly Junior Suite).

Thanks, this answers my question.

• Book any Club rooms, Deluxe Island Suite and Premier Executive Suite under our Virtuoso rate for 2 consecutive nights will enjoy 3rd night complimentary.

This is what I could find: http://www.virtuoso.com/exclusiveoff...osoID=10529822

Any recommendations on an agent that's active here?

David O is the best!!

Thanks, for yours and lucycan's reference.

Since one of them posted the offer, it seems fair....

I agree, such third party websites often list rack rates for comparison, when in fact lower flexible or advance purchase rates are available.

Often forgone benefits (mainly upgrade potential) and flexibility make these offers less attractive. I have never booked through jetsetter etc, and probably only would if rates were substantially lower than I could otherwise negotiate. Direct or Virtuoso, lhw, etc.. bookings probably receive priority for villa allocation within category booked.

Four Seasons Punta Mita
 

From May 19 to October 31, 2013 every second night is complimentary. Includes Preferred Partner amenities. Full non-refundable pre-payment required at booking.

Exclusions are beachfront units (Coral, Arena, Beachfront suites and rooms).

Contact a Four Seasons Preferred Partner TA to book.

Wow. That is amazing. I will be there at the end of May which is nice time of year there. You guys should book the oceanfront rooms on the cliff at these rates. That is a steal.
