Perx is great for tons of all-inclusive resorts... Definitely give it a look through. As for gimmicks, i haven't heard anything except that deals can sell out quickly. Hope this helps

I've used them for cruises in the past, no problems for me. Also check out dargal.com

Thumbs up

I've used them a bunch for the 'all-inclusives' and have always had a great experience. The nice part about this is they understand the complexities of non-rev travel these days (a.k.a. getting bumped off of flights).....although if you're going on a honeymoon, imagine you'll be buying tickets as opposed to non-reving it. Either way, I highly recommend Perx...good stuff.

I've used them and was very happy with the service, no gimmicks.
I'd used them again for my next trip.

Great site. I have used them before, and would use them again. Heard that they also sell insurance for about $35, and if you get bumped, they would give you a credit that you can use within a year.

Tip: compare perx’s rates with those on the resort’s website, just to see who has the best deal. For example, we are planning a trip to Jamaica, and it will be cheaper for us to book directly with the resort than thru perx.

Great site...great deals...no worries. But, be prepared for a lot of emails from them advertising their specials.

I agree with the above. I would also (like Wmarti) check with the resorts that you are looking at. They may offer a better rate The economy is still fairly slow so there are some good deals out there.

I also try and get some other hotel reviews (maybe a sight like tripadvisor) and get some insight from other people that recently stayed there. I don't trust Perx's system for rating hotels (3 star, 4 star, etc).

Anyway, I have used them a few times with excellent results.... Do your homework and call them to see if they can get you a better deal than by working through the hotel.... Have fun

Stayed at Jade Mountain on St. Lucia. Perx saved my wife and I about $800/night for the all inclusive plan. We are going back to St. Lucia in November.
