Where to find the best price for Cocolapalm

[gregandkelly63]

The boardies helped us decide on CCLP. Now, where to get the best price?

I noticed Negrilonestop had about the same price as the CCLP website, but then I noticed that Negrilonestop prices includes taxes while the hotel website does not.

Other suggestions?

As always, Thanks in advance.

i like the travel agent only because you can pay over time...

CCLP give a 10 percent discount to returning guests, so if you plan to stay there again, maybe book direct because it's greater than the NOS discount, 5% given to returning guests. If you plan to book with NOS again but for different hotel, go with them

But the Negrilonestop prices includes the taxes that the hotel website does not. That's a savings of 10% government tax and 10% service charge. I can't see where booking direct with the resort would save me money, even if I was a returning guest.

NOS also includes the $4/night Jamaican room tax

GregandKelly63,

Are CCLP and NOS pricing the same room and the same dates?
Two years ago we stayed at CCLP. We wanted a specific rooms (2 Superior Queen rooms right off the beach).
I researched for several weeks and the best price (including taxes & fees) for the specific rooms for specific dates was the rate received from CCLP over the phone and confirmed with an email.

When I called CCLP direct and told them what we wanted and when, they were very cooperative. It may have required 1/3 deposit, but that wasn't an issue for us.

You will LOVE CCLP, great location on the beach and excellent staff!

Enjoy,

I have stayed at Coco over 20 times and I have just about always found their web site prices way higher..sometimes double then when Negrilonestop has their special..and as mentioned the 20% tax is a factor that One Stop has included..One stop has a sale on right now till end of this month for bookings starting March 17th stays until July..compare that to Coco's website prices for the sticker shock

booking.com and expedia

I use Expedia for booking CCLP. I have never found it not to be the lower price for the type of room and time of stay.

Yes, I always make sure to compare apples to apples.

Now, I'm just sayin' .When you see a post from fargoman, you take heed, and follow his advise. I'm so fortunate to have met him, he's really smart. Ask him anything. He does his homework, and researches this stuff. When you live up nort by Fargo in the frozen tundra, and it's so fricken cold, you take the extra incentive to figure out how to get the heck out of the cold ASAP! He's not quite as funny lookin' like the folks from Brainerd. No dis-respect. Thanks fargoman. If you see him ,buy him a RS light. Yamon' PS: We were just at CCLP, it was great.
