You simply plug in your departure city and it quickly shows you to the cheapest Apple Vacations deals. \u00a0To find the cheapest deals, sort the results by \u201c<em>Price<\/em>\u201d. \u00a0 We found the vacation deals for large groups to be especially awesome. \u00a0If you are planning a wedding, family reunion or other group getaway for more than 20 people, Apple Vacations has great deals available. \u00a0However, we found that booking the advertised promotions are not as easy as they should be, especially when you have a family. \u00a0For instance, we found a promotion advertising \u00a0\u201c<em>Two Kids Stay Free<\/em>&#8220;, yet we were unable to get a quote for that hotel in which 2 kids were actually free. \u00a0In fact, we found many family vacations that were ridiculously expensive. \u00a0 Taxes and fees in the amount of $1016 were added to one family vacation, and we did not see where it itemized these out for us. \u00a0 The Apple Vacations pricing is much more favorable when booking couples vacations for only two people. \u00a0If you are booking a family vacation, we recommend Travelocity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/ie77hz74z6MQNRNWPQMORSSRVNW\" target=\"_top\">Apple Vacations<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ftjcfx.com\/se121jy1qwuFJGKGPIJFHKLLKOGP\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/> has been in business for over 40 years and claims that over 70% of their customers are repeat customers. \u00a0This tells us they are doing something right. \u00a0Apple Vacations has also earned an impressive number of awards, including Travel Weekly&#8217;s Readers Choice: Best Tour Operator to Mexico (2004-2012), and they have sent more people to the Dominican Republic than any other travel agency.

Each hotel and resort is given an Apple score, and quite simply the more Apples the better. \u00a0The &#8220;Golden Apple&#8221; hotels are the cream of the crop, and are only given to hotels and resorts that earned exceptional ratings on the Apple Vacations traveler survey. If you see a little plus symbol (+) next to an Apple it means the hotel offers more services or amenities compared to other hotels with the same Apple rating.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Reviews Disclosure<\/span>: Some of the links on this website are affiliate links.
