GBSkyAuction for some fantastic vacation deals SkyAuction is a great site for persons looking for some great deals on domestic and abroad vacations. Many of the deals could only be found on SkyAuction at such pricing. Although many of these deals are fantastic, you must read carefully the details thoroughly and understand what it is you are bidding on or just purchasing outright. If you do that you are bound to find a great deal that matches your desired vacation or product offered. I find I always search SkyAuction, first before any other site and often buy right away, or end up coming back to bid or purchase.

GBI got a very cheap price for 1 nights… I got a very cheap price for 1 nights hotel stay for 2 travellers at one of the best hotels in Asia, saving at least 60% off the normal price. When i contacted the hotel after winning the auction to check the reservation, they had no trace of it, after a bunch of emails the reservation was found and all went smoothly. I highly recommend sky auctions.

GBOur visit to Royalton Negril When we arrived at the main registration. desk, we were directed to another registration and told that we were "Diamond class." Once registered, we met our two butlers and escorted to our suite. We found out that Diamond Class entitles one to run of the resort, including Hideaway and Grand Lido beaches and spas. The staff members were all top-notch and friendly and personable and great to associate with. They undergo 6 months training/vetting before officially joining the Royalton staff. Food was great, including fresh swordfish, snapper, sea bass and tuna at one of the three buffet grills. At a party for Diamond Class, we won a drawing for "Culinary Experience" dinner for two. All-in-all, it was a great experience.

GBI've purchased several vacation condo… I've purchased several vacation condo weeks from SkyAuction over the years. For us, this is the best way to go. We're able to make breakfast in before heading out for the day, spend some time stretched out reading, enjoying the resort pools, and feeling like we're in a nice home. Just be sure you read all the details about surcharges, fees and availability before you buy. Every time we're chatting with people at the resort pool or bar, they can't believe how little we paid.

GBOnce upon a time Once upon a time, they regularly had excellent bargains. Now, per-night and other fees are added to the bid price such that you can usually do as well or better with traditional travel sites, with less hassle. Their main web page has also become a bit of a mystery. Click on "Air," and you get a screen that lists -- nothing. Click on "Cruise" and you get a list of 9 cruises all from the same company on similar itineraries. Click on "Closing Soon" and get a list full of puffery but which often doesn't mention the destination until the end, so you have to wade through lots of verbiage -- and many ads for sunglasses, necklaces, and assorted stuff. Bought a number of items from them earlier. Now, I wouldn't bother.
