Those Costa Rica rates look good, I have wanted go there for a year for two now.

How long are the rates in effect?

i didnt say for the latter 2 because theyre currently through dec 18

Looks like these rates are only available in June, September, October and the first 18 days of December. They're considerably higher at other times, although the promotion seems available until December 18 with the exception of November.

unless im responding to given dates, i always post rates as "from x"

Looks like that is where we are going for Summer Vacation!

Fair 'nuff. Just want to save people some time, potentially.

Also, after the 5th, 6th, 7th night at Mauritius promo ends, there's still a 6th and 7th night promo through December 20th. From May 12 - September 30th, that makes the effective rate of Garden Pool Villas as low as 357 Euros.

oh right. i forgot about 6th 7th free during low season. ^

new FS maldives package deals on FS site >
3 nts resort + 50% off 3 nts explorer
4 nts resort + 50% off 4 nts explorer
7 nts resort + 50% off 7 nts explorer
also includes all transfers
after 50% off explorer runs $685 > $1800 per nt
promo overlaps with resort 4th nt free oct 12 > oct 29 2009 but not sure if they combine

i hear FS maldives and mauritius are having low occupancy, so that must explain why next summer's rates are lower. but this also suggests they will extend free nights again. i see some other resorts doing similar things, prices staying the same, slight drops on higher end accommodations, etc.
