So this is where everyone make a pitch for their favorite places, right! OK here goes.

There are a bunch of hotels and condos listed on this site. All but one are beachside properties. Some good info for the online shoppers.

2004 Dates to avoid if your are looking for a really good rate, on a tight budget or just want to avoid the crowds.....

Feb 28 - March 27 - Heavy Spring Break
April 29 - May 1 - Bike Week - If you are not a biker:)
May 7 - 10 - Gulf Coast Triathlon - If your not an athlete
The Big Three holiday Wknds - Memorial, July 4th & Labor Day
Weekends - From Memorial Day to the end of July.

If your vacation is flexible, you will find that you will get the best rate for arriving on Sunday and departing on a Friday. Make sure you ask the agent for the best rate available otherwise you will get stuck with the first offer!

Don't be afraid to ask for a better deal. Most of the hotels and some smart condo operators will work with you on the rate during off peak periods ie. Weekdays

And, yes, I work for one of largest hospitality companies in PCB. This advice will save you hundreds if you apply it to your next trip to PCB regardless of where you stay.
