Winter Rates & Resort Credit at Marina El Cid’s Mayan Riviera Resort
Destinations in the Caribbean are already known for their amazing all-inclusive deal savings, but we’ve found one that will save you even more cash—$600 more to be exact. Located in the laidback, bohemian Mexican town of Puerto Morelos (midway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen), the oceanfront, family-friendly Marina El Sid Spa & Beach Resort is offering a bonus resort credit coupon book for minimum five-night stays. On top of the standard all-inclusive amenities, this special deal comes with over half-a-grand of dollar savings that can be used for catamaran cruises, shopping and spa activities—all the things that are usually NOT included in all-inclusive resorts.
Deal: Reduced winter rates (about 35%) and a $600 resort credit coupon book for stays of at least five nights. Kids under the age of four (max. of two kids per paying adult duo) stay FREE.
Dates: Stay Jan. 3, 2010 to Mar. 30, 2010 but must book by Dec. 14, 2009 (counting down the days!)
Breakdown: We’ve broken down the minimum 5-night stay for the lowest room rates per person to be the following (rates include $600 off the tab for your freebies).
- 1 adult: $265 total, $53/night ($173/night x 1 guest x 5 nights – $600 freebies) *Lowest rate for 1 guest is ~$173/night
- 2 adults: $1,180 total, $236/night per room or $118/night per person ($178/night x 2 guests x 5 nights – $600 freebies) *Lowest rate for 1 guest is ~$178/night
Why It’s a Deal: If you’re a traveler already interested in all-inclusive vacations, this deal will raise your ‘brows even more as the $600 credit voucher can be used for activities that are not usually included in all-inclusive deals: spa treatments, motorized water sports/cruises and shopping. Unlike many cruise ships and hotels, single travelers can actually reap even more of the deal savings from traveling solo—no sharing the freebies needed!
Side Note: While this specific deal can only be found on BookIt.com, El Cid Marina’s website is worth visiting to review the many activities offered with the all-inclusive part—and your options for maxing out your $600 worth of resort credit (a trip, or three, to the new 13,000-square-foot El Cocay Spa would be on our list). Not all dates are available; the further out you try and reserve, the better your chances are for snagging this deal!
