Sadly it’s not free because the supplement fee is the exact same price as you would pay for the trip itself. You are basically paying for a piece of paper. If you pay anymore than the supplement you are losing money. It’s not a good deal. I would say it’s a scam and not fair to people bidding because they don’t have all the information.

The additional fee is for "all inclusive", which means meals, drinks, graturities, etc. Basically, the rooms are free and generally up to 3 rooms double occupancy. Great as a give-away, not to bid on.

They provide great support material and their properties are legit. However, we sold none at our auction due to the minimum fee. We won't use them again, as a result.

There's a good post about this on the Ultimate Donation List thread. There are some things you should be aware of before accepting:

Hello,

Does anyone have experience with Elite Island Resorts? I just received an unsolicited email from Elite Island Resorts offering a package at one of their four Caribbean Properties and wanted to hear about others' experience with them.

Thanks in advance for your advice!
