Find the best value for luxury Deer Valley lodging with these insider tips. Researching your options and knowing what services are include with your accommodations can help you find the best value for you:
1. Think early powder and late-spring sun. You can typically find the best rates for ski lodging before Dec. 16 and after March 25. Another little-known pocket for value is the first week in January, right after the New Year. An added bonus? You’ll likely have the slopes all to yourselves.
2. Consider services included in your accommodations. Will you receive daily housekeeping? Lift tickets, ground transfers or shuttle service throughout your stay? If you are looking for a relaxing, seamless vacation, you might find added value in services like a private concierge, which will allow you to spend more time with your friends or family versus planning ski rentals, dinner reservations and luggage shipment.
3. Call your lodging provider to learn about specials or services that you might not find while shopping online. Discussing your lodging needs with a reservations agent can also give you specific, helpful information — for example, how many steps away ski access may be and how advanced the surrounding terrain is. An agent can also give you recommendations based on your bedding needs and budget.
4. Consider amenities. Two vacation homes might offer identical square feet with the same number of bedrooms and even the same ski access; but a hot tub, theater, pool table and flat-screen TVs in each bedroom can make a difference in your vacation, particularly if you’re traveling with a group.
