Several hotels and resorts in the Caribbean and Mexico are running sweet specials later this week, playing on the idea of 10/10/10 (October 10, 2010).
We’ve never announced any deals on Collazo Projects, but we wanted to share this one. We’ve visited several of these properties (St. Kitts, St. Thomas, and San Juan) and can vouch that they’re good places to stay (St. Kitts, in particular; the restaurants at that Marriott are exceptional).
The reason we decided to post this deal on Collazo Projects is because we want travelers to explore the Caribbean, and these prices might actually make it possible for you to have an affordable stay.
Read on for the terms of deals at each property:
