Good deal, but I wouldn't pay a penny more and still call it a deal.  With these deals, there usually ends up being hidden costs.  You have nothing to lose by calling though.

ok $499/person(let's round up to $500/person) + 130/person is $630 per person. So that would be $1260 for 2 of you...


also - the hilton is fairly expensive - you should be able to find a nice place for 2 people for approx. 120/night. so that would be $480...


then two tickets (I only looked through mobissimo.com) would be around $550 each... - so there's $1100 right there alone.

so - I agree with AJ - that sounds like a good deal as long as you can deal with the restrictions (do they require a Sunday departure or anything like that?)

I think you could probably find a better deal on your own. I was looking before FH told me he can't spend nearly that much and found similar things for $600-$800 pp if you go through the hotel/resort and book the flight seperatly.

My flight alone was $950 (but I did book less than 3 weeks in advance so that might be why it was so high).  Our hotel was cheap (maybe $500 for 5 nights) because my mom belongs to some vacation club thing that she pays a certain amount for to get discounts on vacations.
