M exico

Not that long ago, American Express Vacations suggested Mexico as an exotic destination that was perfect for budget travelers. One of the big draws was that passports were not needed. But a lot has changed in the last several years.

Mexico is still a great destination, but where Mexico was once famous for budget travel, American Express Vacations reports that luxury travel is increasing, while budget travel is decreasing. Once considered a party destination, Mexico is now being toured because travelers wish to experience historical cities from the time of the Spanish colonies, as well as the archeological sites of ancient cultures, such as the Maya, Olmeca and Azteca peoples. These New Mexico tourists are looking for a luxury travel vacation, not for the rowdy spring break value hotels. This recent emergence in luxury travel has gone even further with the creation of more five and six star luxury hotels and luxury resorts.

But American Express Travel says just because luxury travel vacations in Mexico are emerging as the new main stream way to travel, that does not mean that travelers on a budget cannot find a good deal. American Express Travel is well known mixing affordability with luxury by offering great deal for travel packages to Cancun, Cozumel, and the Riviera Maya. These areas have several different hotels, with a wide variety of pricing and experiences. Also consider visiting some of the best luxury Mexican cities, such as the capital city of Mexico City, colonial Monterrey and Guadalajara. For other great colonial cities, make a stop in Oaxaca, San Miguel de Allende, Queretaro, and San Luis Potosi.

The best way to get amazing deal on Mexico luxury travel is to use the best resources at hand, especially amazing travel agents. These knowledgeable travel counselors will be happy to personally work with you in preparing the best luxury travel for your dollar. Some agencies, such as American Express Travel, have bilingual agents who can directly communicate with local Mexican tour and hotel providers. This ensures that you will get quality service in combination with affordable luxury.

While Mexico has a wide variety of pricing levels, there are a lot of opportunities to get a better value for your money. Luxury travel in Mexico is no exception. You can get the best deal by staying at a four or five star all inclusive resort. These Mexican all inclusive resorts can be less expensive than similar Caribbean resorts. Alcoholic beverages can be inexpensive compared to some destinations. From the inexpensive 3-star hotels to luxurious all inclusive resorts, Mexico is the perfect choice for all budgets. And if you want to choose luxury, there is only one way to go.
