The Secret to Booking 5 Star Travel at the Best Price (Without Getting Played)
Luxury travel has a reputation for being outrageously expensive—and honestly, that’s fair… if you’re booking the wrong way.
I know you’ve seen them. Those people proudly posting about their “luxury vacation” while sitting in the resort’s most basic room, staring out at a breathtaking view of the parking lot. The real kicker? They actually think they got a deal because they booked directly through the hotel website or cashed in points they spent years hoarding. Meanwhile, my clients are lounging in an oceanfront villa, craft cocktail in hand, upgraded for free—all because they knew better.
The truth is, luxury and affordability aren’t mutually exclusive. You just have to know how the game works—or better yet, work with someone who’s already mastered it. So, let’s talk about how to book five star travel without paying five star prices, shall we?
1. Timing, Package Deals, and How to Avoid Getting Finessed
There are two types of travelers:
The ones who pay full price because they “panic book” whatever Google tells them is a “great deal.”
The ones who wait for the right moment, book through someone with the right connections, and end up spending less for way more.
Just to be clear…I make sure my clients fall into the second category.
Timing is everything and that overpriced resort you’ve been stalking? It’s not always overpriced. Travel during the right season, and suddenly, that $1,500 a night villa drops to $800 a night in a heart beat. Book a package deal with flights included, and now you're saving even more. But Google won’t tell you that. And those online travel agencies? They’re busy charging you “convenience fees” for the privilege of paying too much.
This is why my clients get the good stuff—better pricing, better perks, better vacations. Because they know that the best deals aren’t where everyone else is looking.
2. The Biggest Mistake You’re Probably Making: Booking Direct
Let me put it bluntly: if you’re booking directly through a hotel’s website, you’re willingly overpaying for the privilege of getting less.
Hotels reserve their best rates, upgrades, and VIP perks for industry insiders—especially the travel advisors who consistently send them high value guests. But if you book on your own, you’re just another person paying full price for a standard room with a “partial ocean view” (which, let’s be honest, probably means you can technically see water if you press your face against the window and lean at a weird angle).
Meanwhile, my clients are checking into suites with complimentary welcome drinks, resort credits, and priority reservations at the best restaurants. And here’s the kicker—they’re usually paying less than you.
Booking direct is like walking into a luxury store and paying retail when there’s a secret VIP entrance in the back where people get the same thing for less—and with champagne in hand.
A few words of advice…don’t be the person in the front.
3. How I Get VIP Pricing and Perks That Actually Matter
You know that feeling when you realize the person sitting next to you on the plane paid half of what you did for the same seat? That’s what it feels like to watch my clients check into their upgraded suites while you overpaid for a room that smells vaguely of disappointment.
The reason I can pull this off? Relationships. Hotels and resorts want my clients because they know I send them people who actually appreciate (and pay for) high end experiences. That means I get access to pricing and perks that just don’t exist for the general public.
I’m talking about things like:
Upgraded rooms in prime locations (not the one next to the elevators where you hear every conversation at 2 AM)
Late checkouts that don’t require you to awkwardly loiter in the lobby with your luggage
Resort credits so you can enjoy that $200 massage without thinking about your bank account
Private transfers so you’re not battling taxi drivers for a halfway decent ride after a long flight
These perks aren’t “discounts” in the way people think of them. They’re value adds—things that make your luxury vacation actually luxurious. And they only come when you book through the right person.
Luxury for Less, Without the Hassle

I handle the bookings, secure the perks, and make sure you’re getting the absolute best value for your money. No gimmicks. No wasting hours clicking through “deals” that aren’t actually deals. Just a stress free, luxury experience at a price that makes sense.
