What it costs

The rate, and where to check it

Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.

Per-person figures assume two sharing. Taxes and fees vary by channel, so compare the final screen, not the first one.
