St Thomas and Can cun Timeshare Rentals
|
Question: I am planning a rental of timeshare vacation . Our original plans
were to go to St. Thomas. After checking into prices for this time, which
is high season, we have discovered that just for hotel and air we will be
in excess of $3,000, probably with food and side trips we're talking around
$5,000-$6,000. We feel that if we are paying that much we need to check out
other locations such as Cancun or anything else in the Caribean. We were on a
cruise in July so this does not appeal to us right now. Cancun is much
cheaper, but that worries us. We are in our early 40's looking for great
beaches, good restaurants, water related sports, something quiet, romantic,
and really special. I would greatly appreciate any responses. Hawaii is
another possibility but the 8 hour flight makes it less appealing. We have
been to Mau(about 6 years ago), and were in Cozumel and St. Thomas on a cruise
just for the day.Should I choose St. Thomas or Cancun?

Answer: There are some good resorts on St. Thomas, they just are away from the city.
Cost I find kind of inflated. Even taking high season into account. In
Miami there are always packages advertised for 4-7 days, none of them
over a thousand ppdo. This goes for all the islands, and includes air.
(American Airlines is the main one.) I don't know where you're located,
but just add the round trip fare to Miami to figure out your cost.
Unless of course you're looking for a deluxe location. In which case you
would pay that much no matter where you go.
Aruba would definitely fit your bill (great watersports), but it is
expensive, and a three hour flight from Miami, in addition to your
flight time to Miami.
If you are interested in St. Thomas, e-mail me. A co-worker of mine
stayed there on a resort for her honeymoon (2nd marriage--she's about
your age) and had rave reviews for the resort. I will be glad to get the
name and approximate cost for you.
