Mexico Vacations - FAQs

1. Are Mexico Vacation Retreats Costly?

Depending on when and for how long you plan to go, they can range from cheap to expensive. Also, where you stay and what activities you wish to do also greatly determines the price. Generally, the ocean hotels are going to cost more than those a little further from the beach. Mexico offers everything from Puerto Vallarta resorts to romantic honeymoon destinations. Because of the variety of choices like Mexico beach vacations, Yoga Spa Vacation, , Best Yoga Vacations, Best Family Vacations many people are attracted to Mexico. Mexico vacation retreats usually get good reviews.

2. Is there a minimum age requirement for spa services?

Yes. Generally the guests are required to be 18 years of age to enjoy the massage and bodywork treatments or services in most of the hotels found in the list. Regarding the relaxation of age the concerned spa service providers can guide you better.

3. What is your peak season?

We suggest booking well in advance for Christmas, New Year's, Easter vacation and Day of the Dead (Oct 31 -Nov 02) otherwise you may fail to get the resort and booking as per your choice.

4. What currency should I take along while going to Mexico? What is the currency rate and can I get my currency exchanged?

You may take any currency you have as banks generally have the best exchange rates & open at 8:30am or 9:00am, make sure you check what hours they do money exchanges. In addition there are private money exchanges available that stay open longer, offering slightly less favorable rates than banks, but the convenience of a quick transaction at almost any time of the day or night. The Peso presently values between 9-10 Pesos to 1 US dollar.

5. Do I need to speak Spanish to enjoy my trip?

No, not required but incase you know Spanish then you can speak. Obviously it depends on where you are traveling to. Most hotels, restaurants and the majority of tour and activity operators in the beach resorts and major cities have personal that speak English. The farther you get away from the more popular locations and city centers you can expect less English will be spoken. Even in the major cities you will probably be able to converse in English while shopping in neighborhood stores and shops.

6. What if I want to drive into México? What is needed?

Insurance is very important, as your U.S. insurance will not cover you in México. Damage to your car may be covered, within a specific mileage limit from the border (check carefully). You must obtain liability insurance because your U.S. policy, most certainly, does not cover you in México. If you happen to get an injury or accident without liability insurance, the consequences can be overwhelming. Do not take any chance!

7. Can I drink water?

In "most" hotels and restaurants, you will get purified water. If there is any doubt - ASK! (Agua purificada, por favor) Bottled water is usually safe. I would suggest not to drink water from any private home or condo, unless you know there is a purification system installed that is in good working condition. Buy bottled water for complete safety. As taking a chance can prove to be highly costly by ruining your vacations.

8. Will my cellular phone work in México?

There is local cellular service in most areas. A few U. S. cellular services offer roaming service in México. Most cell phones will work in México, but only after the reprogramming done by the local service provider. If you plan on bringing your own, it will probably need to be programmed for local service. Remember to have your phone reprogrammed again before returning to the U.S. If you really need cellular service in México, it might just be easier, and cheaper, to take advantage of one of the many low priced cellular promotions that include a phone and a pre-set amount of time. You will then have a phone you can use whenever you are traveling to México.

9. What about doctors and hospitals?

México has some very good hospitals and some excellent doctors. Many doctors in México speak English. Check with your hotel, many of the larger hotels have English speaking doctors on premises or on call. If not, they can give you the name, and number, of an English speaking doctor. Generally speaking, medical service in México, in most geographical areas, is not as sophisticated as in the U.S. or Canada, although there are exceptions. It is suggested to always travel with the telephone number of your local doctor!

10. How many suitcases can I bring?

There is no limit to the amount of personal luggage allowed onboard a cruise ship. However, the airlines do have restrictions. It is best to contact the airline you are traveling with to find out the specifics of what they allow.

11. Is smoking allowed onboard the ship?

Smoking is permitted in designated areas in bars onboard and outside on open decks.

12. When is the best time to visit Mexico?

The best time to visit Mexico is mid September to mid May, though some parts still have a fair amount of rain in October and November. (It rains most during the summer, but usually not often enough to spoil a vacation.)

13. What is the weather like in Mexico?

The average coastal daytime temperatures year-round are in the 70s-80s F (23-32 C), with nights in the 60s-70s F (15-27 C). Take a sweater and an umbrella any time of year.

14. Is a passport required?

If you are born and reside in the United States or Canada a passport is not currently required. However, we do recommend bringing a passport if you have one. If not, your birth certificate with Photo ID is required. If you are born and reside outside of North America we recommend that you contact the Mexico Consulate in your country for passport and visa details.

15. Can I extend my trip once I’m there?

It is totally your wish from our side you can stay in Mexico till the time you want to. Our offerings are complete -- everything you need for a great experience is taken care of. But if you’d like to stay a little longer, please contact the airline or hotel directly to try to extend your stay. Please keep in mind that you will be responsible for any additional charges.
