Why to Reserve with Best of Sicily: If you've never booked reservations online, this is the perfect time to begin. Your credit card information is secure, the service is great and there's usually exceptional room availability because Travel Now reserves blocks of rooms at good rates. A number of travel sites offer similar services, but we've found Travel Now to be the most complete and efficient, and the easiest to use. Navigation and searches are simple, while things like clear hotel location maps are included. Best of all, these special internet rates save you money. Because of the large number of lodging reservations Travel Now - part of Hotels.Com/Expedia - processes (through Sabre® and other networks), they are able to negotiate special rates with the properties directly. These priority rates are lower in most cases than the normal "rack" rates you would receive by contacting the hotel yourself simply because of Travel Now's exceptional buying power, and in most cases there are no cancellation fees. To secure your reservation, an immediate pre-payment with your credit card is required. (The same policy applies to automobile rentals.) This ensures you have a room when you arrive so you are not "bumped" due to "overbooking." Booking your room (or car rental) with Travel Now gives you both savings and security. We considered several online reservation services before integrating this one into Best of Sicily. (Incredibly, most of the Sicily-based sites don't even have English speaking staff to assist with your reservation!) In our opinion, Travel Now is simply the best site of its kind on the web. It's the real deal. Here's the kind of experience that convinced us:
