Endless Summer: Five Hot Beach Hotel Deals

Seven Nights In Mexico

A low price and the chance to choose from seven hotels in beach destinations around Mexico make this Yuupon offer a clear winner. $299 will get you a voucher for a seven-night stay for two adults and two children under five (or add $35 per night for each child age six to 12) at several hotels: the Mayan Palace Riviera Maya in Playa del Carmen, the Mayan Palace Rocky Point in Puerto Penasco, the Grand Mayan Riviera Nayarit, the Mayan Palace Acapulco, the Mayan Palace Puerto Vallarta, the Grand Mayan Los Cabos in San Jose, or the Mayan Palace Mazatlan. That’s a big price drop from the advertised original cost of $964. The majority of the resorts on offer received a score of four out of five from TripAdvisor users. The offer must be booked by Monday, August 29, for stays through August 2012.
