Sometimes it's just worth it to go solo. You may have someone contemplating if they're going or not, or someone who claims they're going to go and later bails out. Booking as a solo occupant when you know you don't have a solid sure-fire roommate is best. It alleviate surprises at final payment and allows you to book knowing no one else can jeopardize your trip.

 

Select this option if you don't plan on having a roommate. You may list yourself in the trip classifieds for a roommate once you've paid at least 50% of your booking. 


Depending on when you register, Monthly Invoice Payments may be adjusted (lowered) once you've made (3) on time payments.

Ok, the food was ok, no elevators, we received our girls trip package, the day we left for Jamaica, and that would’ve been helpful if we received it prior
By Brittini G for The Mobay Vacay - Final Call!!!! on Jun 17, 2024
Booking with Girl let's go takes so much stress off of planning a trip. This trip was so relaxing so scenic we really got to unwind and enjoy ourselves. The resort was everything it was so much to explore and so much to do. The food was great. Other travelers said we lucked up with this being our first time in Jamaica and getting a resort with great food! I would love to travel here again.
