I Love Mexican Vacations

Vacations in Mexico remain one of the best travel deals available.

Archive for March, 2010

Hi Folks, my wife & I are considering a vacation at the Dominican. We ran into some really nice condos for rent on Cabarete Beach, can someone tell me what the crowd is like there? We are older folks early 60’s and are looking for a bit more subdued crowd the less partiers the better. If you haven’t can you recommend some good places to rent a condo for a month. The Dominican seems to be much more affordable than Mexico, "By Far"! We of course prefer a super good beach. Thanks!

Caberete is great and the beach is good, but more for younger people, because there are a lot of disco´s and bars at the beach. If you need a good condo and a good beach, think about Puerto Plata, there you will find anything you need and for affordable prices. If you need more info and bookings, just contact platiniumservtour@yahoo they will gladly help you.

I am planning on going on an escorted tour of 8 days that will run from Mexico City to Cancun. Their lowest rates are in January and the weather seems to be in the 70’s with some rain. Would you recommend that time of year?

Yes, of course! That would be a great choice.

Have fun and enjoy!

I just went on the Caravan tour of Copper Canyon and am looking into taking their Mexico City to Cancun tour. What other tours of Mexico can you recommend that are under $2000 (plus air) for a single?

I’ve always wanted to do the Expreso Maya. The website says they are temporarily closed due to track repairs though. Not sure it gives an indication of when they will reopen. I think it may be outside of the $2000 for a single but still might be something for you to consider.
