Looking for deals while planning your trip to Mexico

When you are starting to think about planning a trip to Mexico there are a lot of things to consider.  First, look at the time of the year it is.  The coasts of Mexico have hurricane seasons, so if you are planning on traveling during this time this is something to be aware of.  While this can mean some great travel deals it can also mean that you might have times during your trip where the weather is less then perfect and there is always a small chance that you will get to experience a hurricane.  

The second thing that you will want to look at is the time of the week that you are traveling.  Travel seems to be less expensive if you fly during the week.  I have found some of the best deals leaving late at night on a Wednesday, there are many red eye flights to choose from.  This is a good option for many reasons.  The first is that you typically arrive mid morning or very early afternoon and you get to enjoy the rest of that first day and the second is that you save money on one night of a hotel.  

The third thing to remember to look into when you are planning your trip is where you are going to stay.  All inclusive hotels are appealing for many reasons.  While staying at a resort that is all inclusive does have it perks it also has some drawbacks.   You are paying for the all inclusive which means that your meals and drinks are included in the total price that you had previously paid. This may leave you not wanting to look at options for dining and fun away from your hotel and you might miss some great experiences.  You should look at the smaller boutique hotels in the town that you are traveling to.  These smaller hotels offer great deals especially when you book them through travel sites like Expedia and bundle with your flight and many offer also offer free breakfast.  Staying at a smaller non inclusive hotel allows you to save the money that is added into the all inclusive cost for food and drinks and explore the area that you are staying.  From the research that I have done you can typically save about 200.00 by staying in a non inclusive hotel.  

Regardless of where you are traveling or what type of trip you are going to go on there are always deals to look for and options that you can select that will make your trip very memorable.  Just remember to look at all of the options before booking and keep an open mind when making selections for your trip.
