Luxurylink.com - Experience?? Advice?
 
Anyway, wanted to know if anyone out there has ever used this site. Is it a good deal? Or is there better vacation packages out there?

I've been subscribed to Luxurylink.com for a couple of years now - have yet to actually buy anything. Since most of their stuff is vacation packages, it costs a lot of money so I'm afraid to risk buying.

Luxury Link
 
We certainly have nothing but good things to say about Luxury Link. We bid on a trip to the Amazon with International Expeditions and had a wonderful time. There have been reports on the Fodors website of people who have also bid with no complaints.

Great Package - Luxury Link
 
My family stayed at Hotel Hershey for 5 days during the 2002 Indenpendence day weekend. Beautiful place, great service, plus wouderful food. We had a great time.

We will visit Manoir Hovey, Canada at New year 2005.
I got these two package thru the Luxury Link too.

As "LuxuryLink" said, they offer nice packages at very affordable prices.
I hope I have more time and money to enjoy their packages. I highly recommend them.

fine site
 
We used them for a trip to the caribbean a couple years back - everything was fantastic, and we ended up saving probably 25% or more off of the cost of booking direct with the resort. I would absolutely use them again.

I bought a hotel stay in Vilnius, Lithuania for about 50% of its normal cost. It worked out great for us.

I've used it once on a stay at Lygon Arms in the U.K. and both the property and LuxuryLink performed exactly as advertised/promised in every respect.

However lately, I've noticed that the packages don't seem as keenly priced and often can be easily beaten elsewhere on the net, sometimes just by going to the hotel's own web page. Also, few of the auctions I've looked at get into a bidding contest, which probably is further proof that the prices aren't so great.

I've used Luxurylink.com three times. Twice we went to the Intercontinental Hotel in Puerto Rico, and once for the Sanctuary on Camelback Mountain. We were extremely satisfied every time. ^

I used it earlier this year for Laem Set Inn in Koh Samui. The luxurylink part of it worked brilliantly, though the hotel itself was pretty weird. Not bad weird, but definitely weird weird.

Out of interest, where did you stay in Vilnius?

Altho we've used it three or four times in the last five or so years, (including the Amazon trip that LouiseMc mentioned), I tend to agree with this post that the recent pricing has not seemed to be as good as it was in the past. However, I still tend to check in with it from time to time to see if there is anything listed where I'm going or if there's a new package that is particularly intriguing.

We stayed at the Stiklai Hotel, part of the Relais & Chateau organizaion. It is a beautiful, small hotel, right in the heart of the city.

Oh I see ;)

Stikliai is probably THE most exclusive place in Old Town Vilnius, quite pricey too... But the location is unbeatable.

You probably know that it has a dizzying array of celebrities who stayed there. I usually stay at other places which are cheaper (like Centro Kubas on the edge of the City Hall Square), but some require knowledge of Lithuanian for an effective booking and communication.

Smart choice about Stikliai anyway. ^

I hope you liked Vilnius. I grew up there.

If only I had known you then! I could have barraged you with pre trip queries. Vilnius is a lovely city with a great deal of charm.
