I had success with clickinternational.com for my hotels in Brasil. It has been a few years though.

Use those search engines to find a good hotel location, then call the hotel directly. I can promise you it is A LOT cheaper if you call them directly. LOL. I know they say on commercials that its cheaper through them, it 99.9% of the time ISN’T.. they make money on commissions, come on.. do you think they’re going to give you a cheaper rate?

I have had the best success with hotels.com and hrs.com.

Well, where do you want to go? In North America, usually it is cheaper to go to the front desk, than booking through travel or the internet, but you run the risk of not getting a room, if you travel during the high season.
If you are going to Asia, it is cheaper to book through the internet than going to the front desk directly. Site that specialize in Asian hotels is called, the site will give you a better rate than hotels.com, travelocity.com or orbitz.com.
Europe, not sure of any travel agent. I went to Greece for one week, and it cost me US$640.00 for 7 nights in a resort 2 bedroom condo. I got the voucher from.
If you want I have an extra voucher from usfreetravel, that I won’t be able to use. I am willing to give this for free, at no cost to you. If you travel in the US, it will only cost you US$280 for 7 nights, but outside the US, it will be about US$600 to US$700.00. You will not be giving me any money. The money, you have to pay to the hotel. There is no timeshare presentation, you simply stay at the hotel and enjoy your vacation.
I am offering this gift to other people also, so I’ll give it away to anyone who asked me first. There is one more condition, you have to make the booking at least 2 months in advance, 3 months will be better. Arrival has to be Friday, Saturday or Sunday.
