“Incredible deals!”

This is THE site if you want good travel advice, the best prices, and the assistance of one of the hardest -working travel agents in the industry. Shawn goes above and beyond what most travel agents do. He treats clients like family members and makes certain that they are satisfied with their plans. I've been a world traveler for decades and have always made my plans. In my golden years, I want someone else to make them for me, since I may forget something! One call and you won't regret it!

Totally love Hotels Etc as it affords us to travel and enjoy extra activities at a fraction of the cost. Cheap hotel rates and beats expedia travelocity, and all other booking engines. I saved my membership fee in one hotel stay.

Looking for a cheap ticket today I found Hotels Etc by chance. The travel membership agent Shawn was very polite, informative and for less than 3 minutes he gave me a price that was about $60 less than any online agency. I am so grateful for the service and will use her again in the future. Thank you

Buying online today is tricky and we were cautious. I was worried it was another scam, but in 2014, we bought an annual membership, prepared to lose it all if the site was not legitimate. Well, we saved about three times the membership fee on our first reservation and have become lifers now, with Hotelsetc. They're legitimate and better than anything else we've found anywhere. We didn't tell anyone at first because we feared we could be victims of fraud. Now, we tell friends and acquaintances. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Staying at the villotel vacation was the best thing we could have done for a family getaway. The villas are centrally located yet away from the madness of noise and crowds. Spacious and beautiful the villa has a private pool and lush greenery all round. The kitchen has all you need and Man Friday is there to get you what you want. Happening places like Thalassa are walking distance. Whether you go right or left you are at your destination in less than 15 minutes. Napoleon is like a conjurer who will get you what ever you need. So this time try something different than a hotel. Bond, chill, eat, drink, make merry and have a whale of a time

I love this travel club membership! I saved hundreds of dollars on my hotels in Fort Lauderdale, FL and Cancun, MX. Even with the exchange rate from $CAD to $USD I still saved more than if I had booked on Expedia, Booking.com, Travelocity, Hotels.com or Tripadvisor. Also booked activities in Cancun that were cheaper than you could buy on the other websites. Will definitely keep using Hotels Etc. membership. The $99 USD for the yearly membership is definitely worth the money even if you don't travel a lot: 0)

Tip for consumers:
The $99 USD membership converted to approximately $132 CAD. I saved way more than the membership fee on one vacation.

I joined Hotels etc 2013 and within a year I got back my investment. They are not offering any discounts but they tell you how and where you get discounts. I took the lifetime membership. It is worth. It covers Travel, Hotels, Theme parks, Restaurants etc. Unique service

I simply love Hotels Etc. My family and I were traveling one day and started to get tired and decided to pull over and stay at a hotel. My husband remembered that we had a Hotels Etc. membership so he pulled out his membership card and reserved a room at 45% off which saved us about $62 for one night in a hotel. Since we only paid $99 for our membership card, we make more than half our money back using it one time. Once we got to the hotel we wanted to adventure around so we logged back into Hotels Etc. and located more discounts in our area. By the time we were done with our one night hotel stay we saved around $136 which was more than what we paid for our membership card. Thank you Hotels Etc. for actually giving us what we paid for. Nice to see reliable companies out there.

I booked a hotel room for 2 days in Sacramento. California. This was last minute and I was able to save $20 below the best deal on other sites. Then I was greatfull when I saw that the listed price on the reservation counter was $100 higher per night? Huge savings.

I have taken the time to compare Hotels Etc with other leading sites. Hotels Etc always gives me the lowest price and finds Hotels off the beaten path. I love that I can filter by amenities too. Helps find the greatest places!

Hi friends so i travel alot. Woah this website saved me OVER TWO HUNDRED.
From skyscanner to kayak to trip advisor.

I really like it because you can get a lot of discounts with hotels and go a lot of places where you would not ordinarily be able to go if you did not have this. I really thank the people who dreamed this up so we can have this website and worked hard for us to have this. It is a wonderful site to have and be able to enjoy the amenities. I have already used this twice.
If not for you all I would not be able to have gone to the motels. Thank you all for this.

So, I recently got invited to join this membership access discount travel site, and had some time to take a whirl.

This company is called Hotels Etc. The way they work is that they have several search engines within their site so you can search for the best deal. Here's the good and the bad of how its set up.

Lets start with the bad. In order to get these discounts that are lower than other travel sites, you have to pay a membership fee of $199 a year, which, in my opinion, is fairly reasonable. The problem is that once you gain access to their site, you spend a lot of time searching through each of their "search engines" to compare which one gives the best deal. I think its a bit annoying more than anything if I paid a membership, but then I spend so much time searching to find a deal that I get discouraged. So, overall, if they were to be able to combine all their search engine in an easy to use single search, the user experience will be much, much greater.

Now aside from the above mentioned, if you put you time into it. You will definitely find discounts on hotels, etc. through one of their search engines. Here's the catch tho, if you previously found the best rate on their "red" search engine, it might not be the case for another hotel, so you must search through all of their search engines provided. As another thing to mention, I have corporate discounts from my day-to-day job, which has deals that beat Priceline, Travelocity, Kayak, etc. and Hotels Etc. does give a bit better deal than my corporate discount site, which is nice.

Overall, if you dont have access to any corporate discount sites, and are willing to put in some time to navigate Hotels Etc. site and search through their search engines, this may be something to consider in saving some money while travelling.

Hotelsetc.com is amazing. We signed up just to check it out thinking well if it didn't work out it would not be that much of a loss. Well we were wrong. We were able to save three times our sign up fee on just the first use of the travel site. We have since shown Hotels Ect to 6 friends and our parents who have bought a membership and have used them time and time again. We are actually planning on taking a cruise with 4 of the same friends next year because the savings were almost 50% of what we have found in other places. We were also able to save money on local purchases from restaurants to shopping. We run a charity based coffee roasting company out of san diego and because most of our funds are spent towards helping others we do not often get to travel but with Hotels Etc savings we have been able to possibly make another trip this year. The company is great and the customer service is bar none, we would highly recommend this membership for anyone that travels even once a year to save money and if you travel more often you can save a ton. THANKS VERY MUCH HOTELS ETC AND SHAWN FOR YOUR GREAT SERVICE WE APPRECIATE IT!
