Every year we get so involved in enjoying summer weather that we forget winter is just around the corner. When the leaves begin to fall from the trees and the nights get cool enough to turn on the heat or light a fire we start thinking about how nice it would be to spend a few weeks in paradise. Then the snow hits and by the time you start looking for reservations, all the nicest hotels and resorts are booked solid so you get left settling for second best, if you are lucky. This year, why not make plans now as autumn is just beginning? Book accommodations for mid-January or February so you get the resort of your choice?
Keeping It Closer to Home
Oftentimes those living in the United States or Canada think South Florida or Southern California. Why? Did you know there are actually some truly lovely places South of the Border that are actually cheaper to stay at, have beaches that are still literally pristine and all the amenities and little extras that vacationers really enjoy? One location in Mexico comes to mind that few people know about but is the ideal solution for an exotic vacation in paradise – Huatulco in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.
Interesting and Little Known Facts about Huatulco
Few of us here in the north have heard of Huatulco, let alone know about some interesting features that should be attracting visitors by the droves. Located in the southern portion of Oaxaca on the Pacific side, this resort area is located in a region with a total of 9 distinct bays, some of which have been classified as nature preserves. As such, they cannot be developed as tourist traps with high rise condos.
The areas that are developed have amazing vacation rentals and resorts like you can find here, but within a short distance you can be lying beachside in paradise. Learn about the resorts, vacation rentals and Huatulco tours at explorehuatulco.com to get a picture of one resort area that is highly underpublicized and often goes unnoticed!
Far from the Maddening Crowd
No, we’re not talking about a story set in Victorian England here, we’re talking all those overcrowded resorts that tourists flock to each and every winter. If the Pacific coast doesn’t interest you, there is always Cancun and Puerto Vallarta. Both are lovely resort areas but you will also find that pricing comes along with the names. Cruises are the main attraction at both locations which are also quite ‘touristy’ as a result. If you are looking for a winter vacation in paradise, these would feel more like a winter shopping expedition in the maddening crowd.
Don’t wait to begin exploring lovely resorts south of the border until all the resorts are filled to capacity. No one likes to be on a wait list hoping for cancellations. This year book early and by all means, do explore options in lesser known resort areas. If it’s paradise you’re looking for, this is where you’ll find it!
