slice of heaven in Costa Rica I recently used Sky Auction for a trip to Costa Rica-on a budget, I was able to live large in an eco report located in a private cloud forest. Breakfast was included, the rooms had fireplaces and jacuzzis, plus a porch to listen to the wildlife and look at the lightning bugs in the dark. It was a wonderful part of our trip and memories. I have been spreading the word of this awesome resource! Thank you Sky Auction!

Our 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.

I have traveled a lot with skyauction I have traveled a lot with skyauction. It's a reliable site. However in recent times it has discouraged me from even seeing your offers. Prices are no longer the same. Everything is expensive! I miss the old days. It's time for the sky auction to rethink your proposal if you want to continue to have someone interested in your offerings.

Hidden costs galore! Very disappointing experience. If you do find a baragin and bid several days later you get an email that it was already gone...I believe just a tease to get you excited and then you give in to all the additional hidden costs. Run away from this site- go to veterans vacations or another where the costs are much clearer before you pull out the credit card.

Once 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.
