The Best Way to a Marvelous Mexico Honeymoon
Where can we expect to get the most for our money?
Ann Lile: 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.
When is the best time of the year to go to Mexico?
Ann: 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.
Do you have any "hidden gems" of Mexico?
Ann: 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.
Compared to Tahiti or Hawaii, what makes Mexico a special destination?
Ann: 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 do celebrities like to stay?
Ann: As expected, celebrities flock to resorts that offer the ultimate in luxury, comfort, and privacy.
Here is a short list of my personal 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
Puerto Vallarta - Four Seasons Punta Mita, Grand Velas, or Kevin Costner's house!
Ann joined TheBigDay Travel in April 2005 after completing an internship program through Mt. Hood Community College. After obtaining an Economics degree from the University of Washington and many years in the banking industry, Ann looks forward to pursuing her new travel career with enthusiasm and a passion to work with two of her favorite things - travel and people!
