Mexico Travel: Tips to a better vacation

By: Banahene

If you’ve always wanted to do a Mexico trip, here’s a fun, safe, adventurous and relatively inexpensive, but luxury packed way to do it!

Before you get to the fun stuff, answer this.. are you the type that doesn’t care about the kind of hotel you stay in? If you don’t then proceed without caution!

But if love your creature comforts, magnificent views from huge balconies maybe a Jacuzzi on the balcony to watch the night go by with a margarita in hand and a great location then you must read on!!

Expensive? Sound extravagant? Must have a high end Budget? NOT AT ALL..If you know where to book and who to book with. Two of my best vacation experiences in Mexico were done for less than $1700 with a car rental, tickets to major parks, Fantastic Spa visits and yes and this was for two people.

What’s the Secret?

CHOOSE THE RIGHT TRAVEL AGENCY!!!!  

 #1 RECOMMENDATION: Travelocity They are the best. You get what you pay for Period! The Hotels and rooms actually look like the pictures you viewed!

Take 3-4 hours looking carefully at vacation packages, with car rentals (if you are the driving adventurer)

Read all the details on the rooms offered and then look at what you can upgrade to for next to nothing!

Find out as much as you can about the local attractions. If you have included a car, don’t book the attraction online, do it when you get there for a lot less. (I recommend this way for single couples) If you’re taking the family, especially young children, book it online and relax aboard Top of the line tour buses as you venture out.

If you love to try new foods, you will save a bundle and experience some of the best food you will ever have by eating “Off the Street” as I like to call it.  Don’t worry, finding an Ice cold beverage of your choice is easier than blinking! Just stick to cooked food and getting sick need not be a worry

Safe to go out and about day and night? Catching a Cab or the bus in Cancun or Puerto Vallarta is safer than any city in the US. They pride themselves on tourist safety and  cops are never too far away. Midnight strolls are a must, sleeping on the beach even better.

Why go to Florida and deal with the same old stuff you can get at home on crowded not so pretty beaches when less than an hour away you could be on beaches of clear white sand, waters so blue it’s almost unbelievable and views that simply take your breath away.
