Travel Deal of the Day (August 21, 2008)

If you are looking for a five-star hotel deal in the Caribbean and are an American Bar Association (ABA) member, the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas has an excellent deal.

The Deal:
The Ritz Carlton in St. Thomas is offering an excellent ABA rate for many dates in 2008. The rates seem to vary based on expected demand, but I have seen the rate as low as $179/night (for some dates in October 2008), with higher demand dates as high as $284/night (in December 2008). These rates are excellent – the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas is one of the nicest hotels in the Caribbean, and these rates are as good if not better than any rates you will find at a five-star Caribbean resort. (One additional note – the Ritz Carlton St. Thomas has a hefty $55/night resort fee that must be considered when budgeting for a trip to the hotel.)

How:
Call Ritz Carlton reservations at (800) 542-8680 and ask for the ABA rates.
