Affiliate disclosure

Last updated October 3, 2026

Veabird is owned and operated by Alex Houck Consulting, LLC.

Veabird is free to use. To pay for it, some links on the site are affiliate links: if you click one and make a booking or purchase, Veabird may earn a commission from the partner at no extra cost to you.

Who we work with

Partners include hotel and rental booking sites (such as Booking.com, Expedia and Vrbo), tours and activities, rental cars, flights and travel insurance. We work with them directly or through networks such as Stay22, CJ Affiliate and Impact. Partner links are marked "Partner links" or appear in "Plan your trip" sections, and carry rel="sponsored".

Some resort pages show a live price for the resort's own hotel with a "See rooms & book" button. It opens Veabird's hotel booking site, run for us by LiteAPI (Nuitée). Prices there include a margin that Veabird earns when you book. That margin and which hotels have a price box never affect forecasts, grades or rankings.

The same box lists that hotel's prices on other sites (such as Expedia and Booking.com) from TripAdvisor's price comparison, through the free Xotelo API, and says "Cheapest here" only when Veabird's price before taxes is lower than every one of them for your dates. Links to those sites go through Stay22 and may earn a commission. Partner sites we can link to are always listed, and when one is cheaper than Veabird the box says so and links to it. Sites we can't link to are listed only when they cost more than Veabird; we never say "Cheapest here" when any of them is lower.

Guest ratings, reviews and hotel photos on resort pages also come from LiteAPI: reviews are written by guests who stayed, and the "Guests like" and "Watch for" lines and category scores are LiteAPI's AI summary of them. We show them as they come, good or bad, and never edit or select them for partners. A score from fewer than 5 reviews isn't shown.

Our forecasts are independent

Partners never pay for, review or influence forecasts, grades, sargassum scores or rankings. A resort's score is the same whether or not we have a partner link for it.

Photos

Resort photos come from hotel content providers and partner programs under their terms, or from Wikimedia Commons under the credited free license.
