Here's actual price comparisons for the 

Nassau Beach Hotel
West Bay Street
Cable Beach, BS
800-754-6835 

Ocean Front Room / 2 Adults / Oct. 19 check in  Oct. 23 check out

Hotels.com  including all taxes and fees....$430.64 

(they are running a special for these dates)

Travelocity.com  including taxes and fees for the same room....$870.68

(they have no "special" offered for these dates)

There is no "hard rule" that any one travel company is always lower than another.

To get the "best deal", compare different on line companies for the hotel on the specific dates

you have selected.  One company may be hundreds of dollars more than another.  Make sure

you "click through" to the last page of the actual reservation process to get the "final price" that

will be charged to your card, and make sure what "fees and taxes" this price includes.

If you don't have a "concrete" travel date, try a few dates "around" when you plan to travel.

Many times a few days one way or the other can save you a lot of money. Especially make 

sure to find out when the "peak" seasons are and the "off" seasons.  This can cut the prices 

by over 50% on a Freeport Bahama or Grand Bahama vacation.

he peak season for a Freeport Bahama Grand Bahama vacation is between December 15^th and Easter. 

Most of the hotels are booked to capacity during these months and because rooms are at a premium, 

the prices are their highest.  If you are planning your Grand Bahama Island vacation to Freeport,  or any of the 

other popular destinations during these times, book your reservations way in advance. The months between 

Easter and mid-December are "off season" for the islands. A good number of tourists still visit the Bahamas, 

but a higher percentage are international instead of American.  The most appealing part about travel during these 

periods are that rates are lower, sometimes as much as 40%!

Hotel Transactions.

Hotel rooms are marketed under two different business models, depending on the preferences of the hotel suppliers. 

The first is the traditional or "postpaid" model, where you book a room on line at published rates.

You pay for that room, plus any applicable taxes, governmental fees and other charges directly to the hotel at check-out.

The second business model is the "prepaid" model (also known as the "net rate" or "merchant" model).

 The charge for the room is collected from you up front plus any additional Processing Service Fee by the "travel company".

The payments for any applicable taxes, governmental fees and other charges may or may not be included in this price.
