The summer months in North America often make for great travel deals in Latin America. This week, I’ve found some good “kids stay free” vacation discounts in Mexico, savings of up to 30 percent at Marriott resorts around the region with lots of extras, and a 25-percent discount at one of the nicest hotels in Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
Don’t forget: You can get some of the best rates on airlines, hotels, rental cars and cruises by using LatinFlyer’s own travel booking engine (it’s at the top right-hand side of this page if you’re using a computer or tablet, or at the bottom of each page if you’re on a cell phone), where it says “Save Big on Your Trip.” With one click, you can compare airfares and rates from more than 10 top travel sites, including Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. No more wasting time when you travel!
