U.S. Virgin Islands celebrates new United States quarter with 25-cent hotel rooms

If you thought the $19 “Survivor” offer from San Diego’s Rancho Bernardo Inn during summer was cheap, here’s a new travel deal that will really surely raise an eyebrow. Not $10. Not $5. Not even as low as $1 per night. Believe it or not, nine properties in the U.S. Virgin Islands are offering rooms for only 25 cents per night.

The special price is to celebrate their new quarter. For the first time, there will be a United States quarter for the U.S. Virgin Islands (pictured below). And no, you don’t have to get yourself all the way out there just to spend one night for 25 cents. You can count on this special rate for three days. This is a great opportunity to spend some time on the beaches of St. Croix, St. John or St. Thomas.

Deal: To get the “2009 CENTsational Sale,” book a three-night, air + hotel package and get three nights at only 25 cents per night, pre-tax. The deal also entitles you to the following “25″ themed offers:

> $25 per person dining credit
> $25 per person activities credit
> Virgin Islands commemorative quarter Scotiabank coin set

When: Book by Nov. 2 for travel through Dec. 15.

Participating hotels: Bolongo Bay Beach Resort, Carambola Beach Resort & Spa, Hibiscus Beach Resort, Hotel Caravelle, Marriott Frenchman’s Reef & Morning Star Beach Resort, Secret Harbour Beach Resort, the Palms at Pelican Cove, Windward Passage, Wyndham Sugar Bay Resort & Spa

Tested: I found the flight + hotel deal available on BookIt.com Nov. 3-6 at the Hotel Caravalle on St. Croix for $713 per person or $1,649 for two people, including tax.
