More bang for your buck
In many cases, the discounts are bigger this year.
At Hawks Cay Resort in the Florida Keys, Sheldon Suga, the vice president managing director, said management weighed the possible tourism revival in 2021 against the fact that many families were suffering financially.
“We decided to do the right thing and extend our discount and the booking window,” he said of the weeklong deal, through Nov. 30, that offers 40 percent off versus 30 percent off last year for travel through Oct. 31 (rates start at $191, postdiscount).
Last year, Rosewood Hotels & Resorts offered its rooms at up to 35 percent off during the seasonal sale. This year, the deal runs to 40 percent off, meaning an available $1,000 room at the Rosewood Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands would be $600. The deal runs Nov. 27 through Dec. 1, with a penalty-free cancellation window of 24 hours prearrival, through June 30, 2021.
In Orlando, the SeaWorld-owned marine park Discovery Cove said this year’s sale is its biggest ever. Through Nov. 30, discounts range from 20 to 50 percent off; a regular dolphin swim package at $204 down will be as little as $102 on visits throughout 2021. The park also offers free rebooking up to 48 hours of arrival and full refunds more than 30 days out.
