Grand Palladium Resort in Cancun/Riviera Maya
All:
We just booked the All-inclusive vacations through Apple Vacations discount channel for August 3 - August 10. After talking with some of our relatives and friends we decide to choose this resort and with very reasonable price (under 1K/person for everything for 2 people, and under $900/person for our family of 4 2 teenager 15 & 18). Anyone has experience with Grand Palladium resort or the area, please post or email to me. I promise when I come back I will post a report and compare with our experience with our cruises in the past. One thing we did not understand is the price for flying from Philadelphia to Cancun for this resort is about $360 cheaper than flying from Tampa/Orlando !!!! But for another Resort about the same quality (5 "Golden Apple"), it is about the same price for either Phila or Tampa departure and about $60 higher compare with Grand Palladium for 2 people and about $160/person higher for us since we have to split into 2 rooms. We deicide to book the Grand Palladium since my sister in-law from Tampa decides not going. We asked the travel agent why since the airplane will land in Cancun for either Resort, he said that's the way Apple Vacations price it. Hai |

Hai Many resort chains do "regional pricing"; Superclubs used to offer a "west coast" promotion, good only from the west coast. For chains that include air, it is often based on the availability of charter seats. A place they fly a not very full charter from will often have very good prices. Club Med often has very good prices from NYC, as they fly charters from there. The big chains also do national pricing, the same package in Canada is often cheaper than in the US. Steven Goodman |

Steven,
I understand since at Philadelphia Apple Vacations has promotion with USA 300 as charter so the air fare is cheaper. But I don't understand why when I ask for the resort nearby the price is the about the same actually Tampa is few bucks cheaper !!! Hai "Steven Goodman" wrote in message ...
