Why such a price increase?

Keen to find something that doesn’t have me running for the hills!

I compared the exact same 14 nights commencing the same date for the same standard room at AKL. The precise date in September, I chose at random. Are you definitely neutralising free nights offer?

Looking at around 6th Sept to 19th September...

This is the 2020 price with 2 nights free (worth around £800 discount):

This is the 2021 price with no discount:

The 2021 price is about £420 more (about 9%) than the 2020 discounted price.

However, removing the discount the 2021 price is cheaper than the 2020 price. And this is close to the 50th Anniversary date.

EDITED TO ADD: Hold on, the 2020 price is for a Club Level Savannah room. There don’t seem to be any Standard rooms available. So ignore my analysis..Sorry.

Thank you. Pretty much what I found for a later date in September, the difference was about £500 more expensive this year than next.

Actually see my added note.

The 2020 price is for a Club Level Savannah room whereas the 2021 price is for a Standard room. There doesn’t appear to be any standard rooms for 2020.

Therefore, the 2021 price is much more expensive.

I missed that. But for the random dates I checked, which were mid September, I was comparing the same category room and 2021 was cheaper.

I had some August 2020 prices with the neutralised free nights. Comparing to what the 2021 prices are coming out as for similar dates AKL is £5pn more in 2021.

Yes, the price was something like £2,700ish with the free nights offer. Without it the price was £3,822 for a standard. I have it tracked as I was comparing the prices when Attraction Tickets first released their prices. Every date I use now only has club level rooms available in Sept 2020 so I can’t share a screen shot.

The same dates for 2021 have a price is £5,278 for a standard view room - that is almost the same cost as a club level savannah view room for 2020.

Wow, just had a quick check out of interest and a standard room at the Beach Club in October 2021 is £446 per night!

It was more like £350 for 2020!

And the same room in 2017 was £270 and it came with free dining back then too.

Haven’t seen the BC quite that cheap. I have just checked my old invoices and we paid £363 in February 2019 and I know I thought it was a bargain. That was actually the YC but when they have the same rooms available, I generally find they are priced the same or very close. That said I have a December 2020 Beach Club booking for £500 per night but that is club level.
