Alright, why book ahead when the trip is weeks away? Actually, we should have made reservations earlier. Don’t be surprised but many people still don’t know that you can save a lot of money buy booking your hotel accommodation or flights earlier.
Crown Regency Resort and Convention Center Boracay is a 4-star hotel with room rates that range from roughly P7,000 or $140 (Deluxe) to P11,000 or higher $220+ (suite) a night. Expect to pay more after taxes and fees and when you are come with extra heads.
Guess what? After some research, we got a room that can accommodate 2 adults and 3 kids for flat rate, no strings attached P3,999 a night. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
How do you secure a good deal for your hotel accommodation in an island, where prices for almost everything seems to be over the roof? Here are four tips on finding a Great Hotel Deal in Boracay (bonus: the tips apply to any destination, not just Boracay):
#1 Book hotels online...and ahead of time
Don't expect to get a discount or a special deal as you walk right in to a hotel. There are so many great deals that can be found online that will help you save money on your hotel accommodation.
No credit card? No problem. Gone are the days when online bookings can only be done with a credit card. Most online travel merchants accept other forms of payment such as Paypal, Debit Card or Dragon Pay. Some even have arrangements for over-the-counter payments with accredited banks.
Moreover, you can make reservations at the comfort of your home.
#2 Compare prices
Now that we have established the it is better to book hotels online, the next thing to do is compare deals. Do not just settle with one online booking website. One online merchant may offer lower prices than the other, and also compare notes. There may be other hidden charges or conditions that one site has and the other does not.
Try Trivago because you get to compare prices among sites like Expedia, Hotels.com, Booking.com and etc on the same page.
Notice the difference in prices, they may not be much in the example shown, but soon you will see that a little savings will eventually be worth it.
#3 Try Metrodeal
I am not blogging for Metrodeal, to tell you the truth. I am simply sharing my personal experience and how I was able to book reservations with Crown Regency Resort and Convention Center Boracay for only P3999.
Look at this screenshot:
I know what you are thinking 47% off the price looks too good to be true, but go ahead and click on that deal. Read the description, check the terms and conditions then send the hotel manager or who ever is in charge an email and you will realized that it is for real.
Here is another proof:
#4 Print Copies
Once all is settle, always keep copies of your confirmation receipt, email, vouchers or codes, and etc. Keep those copies electronically and have them printed out just to be safe. Then, put those copies in an envelop and slip it in your travel bag along with your personal IDs, cards and cash the day before the trip.
