I'm quoting from the website, not some anonymous CIA whistleblower. Negotiate away to your hearts desire. North Island always runs stay 7-pay-6, so on B&B it's €39,000 for 7 nights, which is ~£34k; half-board ~£36k; full board ~£41k; dream rate ~£44k. My point remains: it's gone up nearly 80% in 4 years.

Ah yes . . . but if you did book at the Marriott North Island just think of the deal you might get at their sister hotel, the Marriott Heathrow Airport. Maybe even an upgrade! How cool would that be?

The relaxing anything-you-want atmosphere is what made North Island special. Having guests on different payment plans sounds a recipe for service hassles. And staff incentivised to sell you things. Doubt this will work out well.

To be fair I see it positive. As many may know I never drink alcohol and never eat Lunch, especially not additional to a full dinner. So paying for it is wasted money for me.
I had to laugh about the Scott Dunn offer. Who voluntary flys Economy to the Seychelles, especially if paying such figures for one week. Sounds more like a punishment

Mariott redemptions only include 2 adults despite it being a '2br villa'. North Island charges 1210 euros supplement per additional person per night, and the second bedroom is really just a converted den
