Why can't I book online?
In return for providing Magellan Vacations with the lowest possible rates, our member hotels ask us not to display them online, only disclosing them over the telephone to our clients.
Not only does this enable us to provide you with exceptional rates but it also allows you to speak directly with a travel agent who knows these properties intimately so as to help you choose the right hotel, the right room type and the best rate.
