What is the best way to book a Club Med vacation? Through Club Med
directly? A travel web site? A local travel agent? We're looking to go
to Punta Cana (Dom Rep) in August (I know that sounds crazy). Any
advice on this would be greatly appreciated. I got a quote from an
on-line company for about $4K (2 adults and 2 kids). Does this sound
reasonable? We're just exploring this for now.

Get a baseline price from the Club Med website, and then book with a
good Travel Agent. Club Med doesn't really discount, so the price from
a travel agent will be as good or better than direct from Club Med.

Based on over twenty trips to Club Med...

Go to the Club Med web site and put in your info. Like Steve said, this
will give you a base price. Then search around for a travel agent that you
can trust. Expect your travel agent to be about 5-10% less than the Club
Med web site price. A travel agent may be able to get better air fares or
departure schedules for your. Finally, if you are comparing prices, make
sure that the prices includse transfers to the village (included if you book
air with Club Med), and Club Med initiation fees and yearly dues.

Have fun.
