Starwood Resorts CyberMonday 72-Hour Sale

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.

US Airways 1,000 Bonus Miles offer

This cyberMonday Starwood Resort special offer also comes with a US Airways 1,000 miles per stay bonus if you choose Airline Direct Deposit miles for your stay.

    I don’t think I could get myself to ever spend $715 per night for a room, over water or not. Well, okay, maybe if it was in space 😉

    I’m waiting for a SPG free night offer that includes Category 7 hotels.
