What site to book All Inclusive?

I am looking at booking an all-inclusive Caribbean vacation for this coming winter.

My question is this, why would I book on one travel site versus another or directly with someone like Air Canada vacations. The package I was looking at on the Air Canada vacations site seems to be the exact same price or more on the other sites I looked at like Redtag and sunwing.

Based on the packages being the same price, why book with one versus another? Am I missing something? THis is my first vacation I am booking so I don't know much about package vacations

Book with the site that gives the bets perk. Prices will be the same. Pcpoints use pc travel. I travel does petro points I think. Some others give visa cash cards back etc.

Other sites can give you a discount and you get an "agent" (don't book online because then you become your own agent). If there's a schedule change or issue with your hotel your agent will take care of those things for you.

ACV has HORRIBLE wait times in the winter- every winter. So you will have to wait on hold if you want to discuss your booking etc.

Canadian 3rd parties I recommend and are the big players in the industry meaning (no particular order):
-itravel2000
-sell Off Vacations
-trip Central
-red tag

***They should all offer you a discount off the price you are seeing). Itravel2000 gives Petro Points ... PC Travel gives PC points if any of those programs mean anything to you.

I check many many sites when planning my winter Mexican vacation for a few weeks. Prices change often and some sites give better deals and perks than others. If you collect Air Miles you can use them for all or part of your holiday. I find Air Canada expensive 99% of the time, and WestJet is a bit better but still pricey.

I like one travel.com, redtag, sunwing, expedia. I do a lot of research before settling on what I find to be the best deal for me.

I have used various sites and was most pleased with personalised services rendered by itravel2000. If interested feel free to PM me and I can share the name of my contact.
All these sites use the same engine to feed the pricing to their sites so it won't be much different.
What made my trip better was suggestions on type of hotels , what to avoid and best time suggested to book.
Person went over several options and left the final decision upon us without imposing any pressure.

I didn't had a good experience with Sunwing last time I used them. even though they game me a $50 voucher with a six month expiry date which I never got to use it.

I have always gone to Expedia.ca instead of aircanada.ca or sunwing.ca.
My buddy at Expedia said that Booking (mainly European) doesn't offer such services.

+1, since getting our PC WE card, we are received on average of 100K PC points.
Their prices are the same as Redtag and Escapes etc...
