How to Get Hotel Deals Easily

If you're headed on a vacation this spring or summer, chances are you're going to pay more for a hotel than ever before. But just because a hotel asks for a certain rate doesn't mean you have to pay it. You can negotiate your way to get a better hotel deal.

Here’s how to get best hotel deal in location you want to visit.


Go to the source. Don't bother dealing with the hotel's toll-free reservations line -- negotiate directly with the hotel instead.


Don't settle for the first rate you're offered. Hotels have dozens of rates for their rooms, and they usually quote from the top (referred to as the 'rack rate') down. So inquire about corporate or other promotional rates and let the hotel know if the price you've been given is still too high.


Trade up. If the hotel still doesn't budge, negotiate for other extras, such as a suite for the regular room rate or a room on the concierge floor. Many hotel staff members are being trained to not let customers get away because of price.


Speak to the manager. He may cave and give you a lower rate rather than let the room go empty.

Talk money during the reservation process. That's when you have the most leverage and room to negotiate. But if you're checking in, you can still try to score a lower rate or an upgrade. Don't be shy.

Check hotel calendars A growing number of hotel Web sites are using booking systems with long-term day- by-day room rates. 

Pick up the phone Call the hotel directly (not the central toll-free number). Often, properties offer last-minute specials that they don’t submit through reservations. Plus, agents are typically not authorized to negotiate (as we did, in the test case at right). Since hotels often allot only a certain number of rooms to the booking service, you may be told that it’s sold out, which is not always the case. Finally, if you’re seeking a top-notch hotel experience, phone a travel agent. 


Book your room via the Web Many hotels offer discounts for commission-free online transactions.

     Those are some good tips for you to get best hotel deal. Make sure you do those tips, and beware of hidden costs. Taxes, surcharges, resort fees and "incidental" fees tacked on to your bill are common and rarely mentioned until you check out, so be sure to ask if there are any extras charges on the agreed room rate. If they are tacked on without your prior approval, refuse to pay them. Hope you could get the best hotel deals on hotel you’ll stay for.

Ubud

Ubud is a district in Bali located 35 Km northeast of Bali’s International Airport, amongst rice paddies and steep ravines in the central foothills of Gianyar Regency. Ubud is one of Bali’s major arts and culture centers, because of that Ubud has a large tourism industry.

The town was originally important as a source of medicinal herbs and plants. Ubud gets its name from the Balinese word ‘Ubad’ (medicine).

Ubud is famous for it's regularly nightly traditional dance performances, which are part of the traditional culture and are arranged for tourists on a regular schedule. Hindu-Balinese ceremonies take place on a nearly daily basis, especially in the European summer, which is the driest and coolest season here.

Ubud is popular in part today because it is the best place in Bali to break out of the tourist mode and get off the beaten path, although far from undiscovered. Hotels are plentiful; home stays and Indonesian guesthouses (losmen) are easily available to the foreign tourist. Many tourists simply base their entire stay in the city and travel to other destinations from Ubud.

Tourism on the island developed after the arrival of Walter Spies, an ethnic German born in Russia who taught painting and music, and dabbled in dance. Spies and foreign painters Willem Hofker and Rudolf Bonnet entertained celebrities including Charlie Chaplin, Noel Coward, Barbara Hutton, H.G. Wells and Vicki Baum. They brought in some of the greatest artists from all over Bali to teach and train the Balinese in arts, helping Ubud become the cultural centre of Bali.

Beside viewing any cultural and art places here, you can do some fun activities. For women you can join in cooking class. Plenty of restaurants in all prices ranges and classes are located in Ubud. For those who enjoy the local food, a walking tour of the traditional markets and herb gardens around Ubud provides clear explanation of the essential ingredients in Indonesia cooking. Combine this with a cooking class and you will learn how to recreate Ubud at home. You can also walking or jogging in the morning while looking at beautiful views in surrounding of Ubud.   

So, just come to Ubud, and get some unforgettable experiences here. After you are going home from Ubud, friendly and peaceful feel will be remained in your heart. And its natural beauty seems like inviting you to come to Ubud again for the next time.
