Multi-Hotel package holiday

lsfranklin88

Hello,



I am currently looking for a two week holiday in St Lucia with one week in one hotel, and the second week in a different hotel.



I am struggling to find either a travel agent or online platform where this can be booked. Any assistance except booking flights and each hotel seperately would be hugely appriciated.



Thanks

Have you looked at Kuoni?

Many years ago, I booked a three week holiday (hotel and flights) with a travel agent and then asked them if they would book me into another hotel (different town) as I wanted to take a short sightseeing break in the middle. I gave them all the details of the hotel I wanted and they did it for me. In my case I paid extra because I left the majority of my luggage in the first hotel as I was returning.


So, I'd suggest going to a travel agent (mine was an independent ) and asking them if they can offer you a tailor made holiday.

I'm sure any decent independent travel agent would be able to arrange anything you want and then charge to for doing it but is there anything that you couldn't do yourself in a few minutes Expedia?

I have used Trailfinders and Travelbag in the past for multi-centre/multi-country holidays.
First was flying in USA, onto Dominican then flight home.
Second was flying into USA, into Barbados then flight home
Would recommend either of these.

Really?

A Travel agent for a TWO centre holiday to a well known tourist destination?

I have just done a RTW trip all independently:

London-Madrid-Medellin-Cartegena-Bogota-Gallapagos-Quito-La Paz-Sucre-Potosi-San Pedro de Atacama-Santiago-Easter Island-Tahiti-Melbourne -Rangoon-Bagan-Mandaly-Inle Lake-Rangoon-Larnaca-Stanstead.


Simple to do TBHO

Travel agents are IMHO a waste of time and money.

Arrange flights direct with the airline and book hotels with AirBnb or Booking.com

Good for you and yes REALLY.

When flights get changed or delayed or cancelled who has to sort it out.

My time is physically and financially way more valuable than the premium I pay for an agent to sort out the problems for me.

Of course you're right that it can be done independently and many do but that wasn't what the OP asked.


A bit OT, but I read a report yesterday about how AI holidays prove far more expensive than B&B and then eating out. But people still flock to them??;)

Poster wanted any advice other than doing it themselves, so what advice did your post offer to them?
Not everyone has the time or the inclination to DIY and are happy to pay for help and not always is it dearer to use a travel agent and if you find a good one they are invaluable.

The airline with which you booked direct.

If you have that much money then why are you on MSE?

Poster (not the OP) was saying that he used a Travel agent to book a very simple flight combo.

My advice was that 99% of Travel agents are a waste of money.
