@ ODWO:

Awesome! Have a great time in Cozumel – sounds like you’re a psuedo local? Wow – 2 weeks and getting your money’s worth. Now that’s the type of money-saving strategy I like to hear! I’ll also be taking a Central American Summer trip and we snagged a great deal as well.

Yes, people falsely believe they “save” money with all-inclusive, but they never consider that those “free” benefits are already packaged into the total price.

Really liked the way you put that “earth elements”. You can lose the beauty of the place you’re visiting if the focus is on your amenities!

Traveling off season: If one likes the Surfing/Diving Scene, just think about it …. snow birds fly south for the winter. And what do people do when it’s hot outside? They go north (for the most part. Soooo, the best deals I find are in summer months to places like the caribbean or mexico. We’re heading to Cozumel (diving/snorkling) for 2 weeks. Why? Because it’s much cheaper in the summertime (late-July inparticular). Just an FYI really as I’m sure it’s similar for other “hot spots/climates” too. We also save money by going economically, instead of full blown all-inclusive resorts too. In Cozumel, stay “In-Town” and you save 1/2 price. Beer and Booze is cheap there, as are the off-the-tourista’s-path paces to eat. (I’ve been there many times in the past). And the Yucatan of Mexico isn’t the gang war, gun toting, anti-American kind of places that the media talk about lately. That’s the west coast (Pacific side). Rent a villa for cheap, or a hotel in town. It’s half the cost and you can spend the excess on other stuff .. or, like us, spend 2 weeks (14-16 days) there for what some pay for a 5 night stay.

Surfers and Divers like to enjoy the place they are going to … the earth elements. They like to do it cheaply too, and I enjoy luxury like the next one, but don’t/won’t have to pay the price.

My 2 pesos.

@ Forest:

Could be okay for a little longer. If it’s only one hotel – doesn’t seem to get the same onslaught as been there’s several. There’s safety in numbers right?
