Unforgettable memories can bring back some of the pleasure of an unforgettable vacation- if the memories are good ones. To get the best deal for your vacation and hotel accommodations in Mexico, ask the following questions before booking your room.
When to Go?
Enjoyable year-round, Mexico experiences peak seasons when every hotel is full of guests. The southern coast is particularly crowded between the months of July and September when hordes of North American college students descend upon Mexico for spring break. At the same time, numerous European tourists also descend upon the cities of Mexico.
The number of tourists decreases somewhat during the more temperate months between October and May, and especially between December and February when the weather turns downright chilly. Hotel rates will also decrease at this time. Weekends are always busiest and more expensive. Not only are hotel rates cheaper during the middle of the week, but also, fares for air travel are cheaper.
Is It Possible to Bargain with Hotel Rates?
Quoted hotel rates, such as those found in travel guides, are frequently the highest rate that a hotel will charge. You can request a better room rate for hotels in Mexico, but do so politely. Find out if special rates are available for senior citizens or families.
Should I Use Recommendations?
Using someone else’s recommendation to book a hotel stay is usually a good idea. After all, if they had an enjoyable stay, then chances are that you will too! If you don’t know anyone who has made a trip to Mexico, try looking at travel message boards for suggestions.
Are There Any Hidden Extras?
You should always ask this question. Hidden fees are one of the ways that your bill can increase dramatically. Services that you might take for granted at home usually cost more while you are away. Most hotels charge extra fees for things such as phone calls, spa facilities, rentals, and more. Never assume that these costs or others like them are included in the cost of your room. Better yet, ask for a list of the free services that are available to you during your stay.
