Okay, thanks. Third-party then.

Apologies, should have stated in my original comment think the excitement overwhelmed me (yes im 33) , not that much more expensive than Cabana Bay was for the same dates also which was a surprise

I've stayed at Portofino for less than CBBR cost for the same night... Uni's hotel pricing can be odd at times.

Does seem that way, will be relying on these posts for construction shots etc. Did the same for when Cabana Bay was being built and the build up to holiday was just as fun as the holiday its self!

Just for curiosity's sake, what was the daily hotel price?

I am guessing that gbird bought a package with flights.

It's almost impossible to work out the daily rate based upon their flight prices as they are a travel agent which means the prices vary depending on the package

Very true, will work out the average when get home from work minus the flight costs as at least will give a rough indication

It's very rough though, I've tried it before with an agent, depending on the price of the hotel, they adjust the flight price.

It's not as easy as taking the flight price to get the room price, or taking the Expedia room prices off to get the flight price.

Well the "Hot Dates" for conventions and groups are listed at $149 a night, so I would imagine the traditional rate to be somewhere around $199 a night.

That'd be real close to Royal Pacific's normal price per night. Seems a bit high.

Woof. Way more expensive than I expected it to be. Looks like I'll be sticking with Cabana Bay

Surprised with the costing but i've booked for 1st September 2016 for 2 weeks, flights and hotels cost roughly £1300-£1400

Hopefully there will be APH Rates that bring it down a bit. At least below $200.

I got 149 a night for HHN time next year. That's about what I was expecting.

Is that using the Stay More, Save More rate? I see $199 for a single night in October.
