Use a travel agent. It will not cost you anything extra to book with an agent. This way if anything goes wrong, you will have someone to help. Plus, travel agents have more eperience booking trips. Just do a little on line research to see what you like - type of resorts.

I just booked my honeymoon through a travel agent...we did a 12 night European cruise. A week after we booked, the prices went down...the travel agent was able to get us the reduced price, which prob would not have happened had we booked on our own....I would suggest at least sitting down with one once

Travel Agent!

Let them deal with the stress of sitting by the computer and watching prices and being ready to book! LOL I gave my credit card number and authorization to use it as soon as a deal comes up. She checks hourly. AMAZING. One less thing to stress over. HTH

I'm biased, I guess, but a travel agent is free and will likely have expertise about a resort. They can also often get you upgrades or special room requests.
