FareFinder: Five-star Turks deal (aka -- Spend a lot, save a lot)

We here at the FareFinder understand that not all of you are looking for the five-day/four-night $300 all-inclusive (But if you know of a good one, pass it along!). You might be saving for that special second honeymoon. You might just have a mountain of money that didn't get swept away in the stock market (if so, I have a great Web site investment for you). But you still want value for your hard-earned bucks.

Sometimes, you have to spend a lot to save a lot. If you're part of the champagne wishes and caviar dreams crowd, we've got a deal down in the Caribbean. Seven Stars Resort is a newbie when it comes to the luxury resorts on T&C's Grace Bay Beach, but it certainly doesn't rank near the bottom for experience or price (more on that in a bit). But there's still value to be had, evident by the email I received not too long ago from the FareFinder fairy in editorial:

[...]Seven Stars resort on Providenciales in the Turks and Caicos Islands is offering complimentary nights and other added value for guests from Nov. 16, 2008-May 31, 2009. Guests staying three nights or longer get one complimentary night; those staying at least seven nights get two nights free. In addition, they receive a 20% resort discount for their entire stay on all food and beverages, spa treatments and boutique purchases. Also, minimum stay requirements have been relaxed. No blackout periods apply, including Christmas and New Year, and the promotion is valid for all room categories.
Great deal, but like a wise man stated earlier: Spend a lot to save a lot. Rooms start around five bills; suites reach an AIG-like $5,800 a night (Do I get a bailout if I stay here?). But the five-star property is worth it according to our reviewer, so who am I to judge?
