When to book

Postby Ahkc4262 » Mon Oct 14, 2019 12:32 pm

How far in advance does everyone book rooms? First timers and aren't sure. Is end of July-beginning of August generally pretty busy?

Hi,

They announce different promotions throughout the year and the most significant previously has been the November Cyber Sale.

Since you are booking for next summer you can easily wait to see what happens during the cyber sale. August is an assigned special month as swingers month with some dedicated weeks and themes at the two different Desire Resorts so be sure to do your homework on here with the search tool for groups traveling in July and August in the event you want to join them or potentially avoid them.

Example: EDM week in August is one we would seek to avoid.

Happy trip planning!!

We usually book 4 to 6 months in advance, that way we don’t have to worry too much about room availability. Within 3 months the rooms begin to book up full especially over the weekends. We’ve not been in July or August, third and fourth week of April is our favorite, great weather and a great crowd.

This occupancy calendar may prove useful:

https://desire-resorts.com/desire-rivie ... lendar.php

We've booked anywhere from 6 weeks to 1 year in advance. The closer to your trip generally the more flexible you may have to be with your specific dates and room choices. The time we booked 6 weeks ahead was after our first trip and we booked right when we got home, we were totally in "must go back to the island" mode. For that trip we could only get 3 nights, did a night a breathless before Desire as the waiting list did not pan out. Oddly enough that 3 days was action packed and felt like much more perhaps because we knew we had to make every moment count. For our upcoming trip this week we booked about a year ago.

I will say that the earlier you book your trip the better you will feel, we tend to feel a bit unsettled with no next trip booked :D

Thank you! I think we'll probably try and book during the cyber sale then. So about 8 months out. Wish we were leaving sooner though, I already know we're gonna love it!

The cyber sale, in years past, was the best deal of the year. But not this past year. The deals were terrible.

We always go the first week of August, and also President's week in Feb. The Feb trip fills up WAY sooner than the August trip, despite being twice the price per night. If you're looking at August, you can easily wait until March or April to book, that's about the time they usually run some kind of promotion to get August occupancy up. Example, buy 3 nights get 1 free. They didn't have that last year, but they did have 25% off if I recall. Which was the same as what we pay as members.

^^^This....


We'll see what happens late next month, but the 'cyber' sale as we all remember it with real savings is likely history.
