When planning our last vacation, my wife and I, decide to Pre-paid some of the activities that were not included on the All inclusive Hotel. Although, it seem like a risky desicion, the bundles and offers that we look on the internet were on most of the cases better than the ones offered by the Hotel concierge.
First we look at Google Map and identify the approximity of the Hotel from the Activities. Then, we enter at each attraction Google review, and determine if that is an activity that is suitable for both of us. Once we create the list of the places we like to go. We search at each location web page and look if they offer information about time schedule, pickup transportation service, freebies and prices & fees. In some of the activities that we decide to buy Pre-paid in addition of a lower price, we get freebies that includes photos of the event, and some fruits and refreshment and on the the other, they gave us to choose two free souvenirs that they have available for sale.
Also there is an advantage to have a already schedule of things to do during the vacation, and the convenience of not need to be carrying a lot of cash money on the excursion.
Is the Pre-paid option something you do in your vacation planning?
Do you think Google should open an option to help you to get destination discounts?
