Labor Day Luxury on a Budget - Get a Deal on a Great Holiday Weekend Escape!
August 07, 2009
I love, love, love a luxury deal. And when it happens to coincide with a holiday weekend, namely Labor Day weekend, well, by all means--bring on the lap-of-luxury savings!
This recession has some serious hotel bargains popping up in Florida's luxury market. And to my very pleasant surprise, I'm not seeing too many of those clauses about blackout dates on holiday weekends. This means you can plan a last-minute getaway for Labor Day weekend, and still reel in big savings off regular room rates.
I've done my research to come up with enticing Labor Day weekend rates at luxury properties across the Sunshine State. And you'll find more by checking out VISIT FLORIDA's Vacation Auction and hotel deals page. Luxury bargain hunters, start your engines. These Labor Day weekend specials practically plan your vacation for you:
The Resort at Singer Island'sFlorida resident rates apply to Labor Day weekend stays, too. One-bedroom suites with full kitchens and pool views start at just $175.20 per night, and two-bedroom suites with ocean views start at $215.20. I recommend this resort for family luxury escapes as well as romantic getaways--it's five-star all the way and fronts a stunning beach. Kids will love the twisty water slide and lagoon pool.
The Ritz-Carlton Coconut Grove, Miami tempts with a City Re-Connect Package over Labor Day Weekend, with rooms starting from $215 and resort credits of $100 for dining and spa services when you stay two nights (or get $200 in resort credits for three-night stays).
