Hello all,
Not sure if this has been posted here before. If you're somehow linked to the US military, be sure to check out the Armed Forces Vacation Club during your lodging search at: http://www.afvclub.com/ . They offer unused timeshare and condo resort units all over the world at greatly reduced prices.
We've used the AFVC twice before and have been very satisfied with our accomodations. Last time we stayed in Cable Beach, Nassau in a 3 BR/3BA (sleeps 8) townhouse (on the beach) for $249/wk. The price per week is now $299, but that's still quite a bargain. If they don't have what you want, check back. They update the site frequently.
Eligibility requirements from their site: (more people are eligible than you'd think...)
