Apple Vacations (tel. 800/517-2000; www.applevacations.com) is offering a sale on winter 2013 vacations to warm destinations in the Caribbean and Mexico, including this air-inclusive, three-night package to Los Cabos from $739 per person.
You'll stay at Melia Cabo Real in Los Cabos, a property on the Sea of Cortez with gardens, a championship golf course, four restaurants, lagoon-style swimming pool, two tennis courts, a playground for kids. There is of course, the beach; the water here are safe enough for swimming. In the morning the sunny hues of your deluxe garden room welcome you, and at the end of the day, you can retire to the room and relax with a cocktail on your private balcony. The promotion is offering what's called Â?unlimited luxury,Â? which means all your meals, drinks, entertainment and so forth are included, but the property also has some distinct touches and services, such as 24-hour medical service, twice daily maid service, bilingual babysitters, and more. Melia Cabo Real was awarded with the AAA 3-diamond for 2011-2012, and named one of the top 20 hotels in Mexico by Travel and Leisure.
Why is this a deal? Airfare from Denver for a Tuesday departure in early January 2013 costs $465 per person on Frontier Airlines. If you were to book the deluxe garden room yourself, it would cost $1,104, or $552 per person. Altogether, the air and hotel would cost $1,017 per person. Booking this package with Apple Vacations would save you $278 per person.
