Starwood Hotels launched a cyberMonday 72-hour sale today for select resort properties in the US, Caribbean, and French Polynesia. Rooms must be booked by Wednesday, December 2 for stays from January 1 through April 30, 2010. These limited time offer rates are nonrefundable.
The best deals I saw was for Le Meridien Bora Bora (property link) overwater bungalow with glass floor for about US$715 per night (57,000 XPF after 10% VAT). The cheapest room at the Le Meridien is around $500 per night with this sale. The St. Regis Bora Bora is a few hundred dollars more per night.
US resort locations revealed some discounts, however, given the nonrefundable terms and the forecast for rates to continue dropping, particularly for resorts in 2010, I would be reluctant to recommend this sale as a great bargain. The handful of hotels I checked in Arizona and California for some sample dates did reveal these rates to be the lower than AAA rates, but generally only about 20% lower.
If the South Pacific Bali Ha’i sirens are calling you, then this might be your cyber-Monday deal of the day for a Bora Bora resort vacation.
