Travel Tips & FAQs
- Best Time to Visit: Anytime is a great time to visit Cabo. Summer time, right after Thanksgiving and before Christmas, is the best time for small crowds and lower-priced rooms. December through May is a great time for whale watching. January through March is a great time to escape the cold winters. However, there are many reasons to spend Christmas in Mexico, and our guide might offer some compelling reasons worth exploring.
- Currency: The official currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN), but U.S. dollars are widely accepted and preferred by locals.
- Reservations: Book spa treatments, All-Inclusive (AI) dining experiences, and golf tee times in advance to ensure availability.
FAQs
- How much does it cost to stay in Mexico?
While room rates vary, any luxury Resort will be on the more expensive side, generally compared to a standard hotel. However, to determine rates, you also need to consider the season, room type, the Resort, upgrades, and booking source. We here at VTE have most of the options you're looking for, all at OWNER RATES.
How to Save Money on Traveling
Most visit resorts in Mexico because they can be cheaper than those in other tropical destinations, but rates can fluctuate throughout the year.
While booking through online travel agencies (OTAs) and the hotel can be convenient, the rates are usually pricier, and you’re treated like just a number. Choices like Booking.com, Expedia, Airbnb, Kayak, or others typically include significant fees, steeper base prices, and only include basic amenities. Also, customer service can be hit-or-miss and time-consuming.
