I know exactly how you feel! I spent a TON of time researching to try and find the best rate and finally went just went directly through the resort. I talked to a travel agent who didnt quote me anything better. I did see some deals on orbitz including flight and room that were slightly cheaper but when you figured in the airport to hotel transfers it ended up being about the same, maybe like $30 difference depending on the number of nights. My guests are staying different numbers of nights so it was hard to figure out what was best for everyone and then I wouldnt have got the group benefits. Anyway, after all that I still had people complain that it was too expensive and that they could get it cheaper on their own. My FI lied to some of his family and told them they only got the vacation dollars if they booked through our link haha. So far I think I have managed to convince everyone except one couple and Im not even sure if they will come at all. Hope it works out for you!
