What's the best time of the year to go to Mexico?
The peak season
for traveling to Mexico is December through April, while the low
season is from May through November.
The official
hurricane season is June to October, which affects primarily the
Yucatan Peninsula and Southern Coast. If you're going to be honeymooning
during hurricane season, and can't take the chance of being visited
by a hurricane on your vacation, you might be wise to avoid these
regions of the country to be absolutely safe.
Rainy season
is May through mid-October. The rainy season is of little consequence
in the Northern region of the country while the Southern region
typically receives tropical showers in the late afternoon on a
daily basis.
What's special
about Mexico compared to Tahiti or Hawaii?
In addition
to having beautiful beaches and various water activities to enjoy
like Hawaii and Tahiti, Mexico affords the traveler the opportunity
to experience wonderful archaeological sites such as Teotihuacán,
Monte Alban, and Palenque. In addition, travelers can explore
the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, Uxmal, and Tulum.
Mexico is
also home to many all-inclusive resorts, which provide wonderful
value for travelers.
Where in
Mexico can we get the most for our money?
All-inclusive
resorts will give you the most for your money since most packages
will include all meals, drinks, and non-motorized activities available
at the resort.
The Colonial
Cities of Mexico (including Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Guadalajara,
San Miguel de Allende, Zacatecas and Merida) are also good value,
giving the traveler a cultural/historical experience similar to
Europe, only at a much better price.
What are your favorite "hidden gems"
of Mexico?
My personal
favorites are the colonial cities of Mexico. These cities offer
a tremendous amount of history, culture, architecture, a great
climate, and a taste of the real Mexico. Built back in the 1500's
near the silver mines, these cities offer many small, intimate
properties for vacationers of all kinds.
Highly recommended
places to stay are the Quinta Real properties in Huatulco or Aguascalientes,
which will give the traveler an intimate experience that combines
the true flavor of Old Mexico with a historical feel.
Where do the stars go?
As expected, celebrities flock to resorts that offer the ultimate
in luxury, comfort, and privacy. Here is a short list of mypersonal
favorites:
Cancun - Fiesta Americana Grand
Ixtapa - Villa del Sol
Riviera Maya - Paraiso de la Bonita and Maroma
Los Cabos - One and Only Palmilla, Marquis Los Cabos, Hotel Twin
Dolphin
Costa Alegre - El Careyes, El Tamarindo, Hotelito Desconocido
