Back again - 6 weeks to book villa

Probably start looking soon... Optimum time for bargain I reckon is 2 weeks before.

Wish me luck!

Why are you not staying at last years bargain?
This would save you all the looking, or have your requirements changed?

I don't think we ever got them actually.

Booking that late don’t you end up with the rubbish nobody else wants?

Haven't even looked if that ones available yet. I will look at closer the time so I can get a late booking discount - it was a nice villa.

No requirements not changed. Just got to be a bargain.

Nope. I generally don't take photos of the villa... all the same pretty much anyway.
But yes the one last year was decent.

So why do you want to see photos?

If you really don't believe me I can probably find a link to it as well as the amount paid.

Always a risk of course. I'll be first to admit it.

If you're requirements are specific and you want a specific villa then this is not the way to do it. If you don't know where all the communities are - don't do it. If you're not confident enough to play the waiting game or confident that you will find something then don't do it.

I've been every year for the past 20 or so, so have done it like this every year. Never had any significant problems. Have had some real bargains and pretty much never pay full price.

Of course, during this time, I've stayed many different villas and communities so know where they all are. Every year, I can see how many villas are left so know I'm going to get one.

Last few years, it seems there are more left over in Davenport/H27 area. Not ideal for me but as a backup I KNOW I can get a very nice villa in that location - just maybe a bit further out than I'd like.

That’s the point though, they are certainly not all the same. However, from your way of booking, you’re not concerned with the aesthetics like some people (myself included ), so I can see why photos of the villa are pointless. Would still be interested to see what you get for your bargain price though...
