The thing about these Luxury Escapes is that one has to evaluate the deals on offer, and see just how much of a saving is available.
In my case, I was looking at the 10 night Fairmont Sanur deal in Bali, and I checked the prices for the dates I wanted to go there (outside the wet season), both at Hotels.com (or was it hotelclub?) and the resort's own website. In both cases, for the same room and option we took, the price was twice what was on offer at Luxury Escapes, and only included breakfast, whereas the Luxury Escapes offer included breakfast, and also brunch, afternoon tea and dinner. That seemed like a darn good deal to me.
The Cannes offer I bought, which the hotel is trying to welch out of, was $799 for three nights, whereas the best I could make out by Booking.com was that the room price for that season was 499 Euros a night.
For retirees such as my wife and I, who are flexible in avoiding peak season, school holidays and wet seasons, Luxury Escapes can offer outstanding value.
