Price vs. Value at All-Inclusive Resorts

I ask lots of questions with a new client to figure out what resorts will work best for them. Some people get impatient and just want me to spit the prices out & get on with it, but get it when they come back raving about how absolutely perfect their vacation was. If you want an order taker you can just use the website booking engine, but if you want advice you come to a real person right?

Just looking at price you're missing a big piece of the vacation puzzle.  Value!  If resort A is $100 more than resort B and you just pick it based on price alone you could be costing yourself more in the long run.  Without knowing what is included you really don't know if it's the great value you think it is.  At resort A let's say you spend $45 for Internet access, $50 for extra babysitting for a dinner alone and then another $30 for an upgraded meal at dinner; you've surpassed the difference already.  Those are just a few things that some luxury resorts include in the rates.  Some people don't want Internet, will  never leave their children at a kids club and only eat chicken so for them that $100 savings is best.   That's why we really work together to asses your needs and make sure you get the best value.  Of course the ultimate decision lies with you, do you want cheap or do you want an amazing deal?
