The nicest thing about Puerto Vallarta all inclusive vacation packages is that you know before you leave exactly what you are paying for the trip. Of course, you’ll need some extra money for taxis, tips, snacks, souvenirs, and so on. Also, do read the fine print before you sign up. For example, there may be airport taxes of around $85 for two people.

How can you find good deals in a Puerto Vallarta vacation package? There are several ways.

Phone a local travel agent and see what they can offer. This is an excellent way to get started, as they can answer questions you might have. You may want to do some comparison shopping after you talk to them.

If you live in or near a big city, the Sunday section of the newspaper will probably have ads from travel wholesalers, who may offer some of the best deals. Your local public library no doubt has the paper if you are searching midweek or don’t want to go buy one.

Do a search at Google or Yahoo on the phrase “puerto vallarta all inclusive” — you’ll get the best results if you use the quotes around the phrase. You can just cut and paste it from here.

If you start searching some of the travel websites, it can get confusing as they start asking you for specific dates and hotels when you may be just trying to get a general sense of costs. I find it helpful to keep a pen and paper handy, to make a list of what I’ve searched so I can really compare prices. Much as I love the internet, I think that your local sources are easier to use.

It’s fun to look around and see what’s out there. Often the short trips are quite low cost and fit into busy schedules. If you’ve never been to Mexico before, or if you just want a short getaway, do consider Puerto Vallarta all inclusive vacation packages!
