The Bad     Southwest Vacations hotel descriptions and ratings are sparse.   The good news is that this information is easily found online elsewhere.  We recommend that you read hotel reviews and ratings on another site prior to booking, such as Expedia, to make sure the hotel is not a dump!   Be advised that you cannot book a "flight only" on the Southwest Vacations site, unless you include a rental car.   Not really a bad thing, but this site is dedicated to "packages" of either "flight+hotel", "flight+car", ect... As always:   If you book with ANY online travel site, make sure to confirm reservations directly with the hotel and airlines!   Read more TRAVEL SITE REVIEWS Want FREE TRAVEL COUPONS and PROMO CODES?
