Here are some common travel mistakes to watch out for the next time you go to Mexico.
When you make an exit at the airport or wander around tourist attractions in Mexico, you may be approached by a group of nicely dressed people who speak excellent English and offer you a free hotel transfer or a free tour in exchange for “90 minutes of your time.”
For the free perks, you will be required to attend a timeshare presentation, which is a very high-pressure sales pitch for a vacation club membership. The membership tends to cost ten to thirty thousand dollars upfront, with an annual fee of a few hundreds dollars, in exchange for some discounts, points, and VIP treatment at a designated hotel over a fixed period of time.
These timeshare presentations will last much longer than 90 minutes! If you’re good at saying no, you may be able to get out within 3 to 5 hours. If not, you could be stuck there for 7 to 8 hours.: Politely shake your head and say no when offered a timeshare presentation unless you are really interested in buying one.At a gas station on my way to the airport, I gave the attendant a bill of 200 pesos and was ready to get on my way.
I then learned that it is a very common scam at gas stations in Mexico where the staff swap your bills when you don’t pay attention and pocket the extra money.: Instead of giving all the bills at once to the attendants, be sure to count your bills out loud one by one in front of them.I travel pretty light—usually with just a carry-on bag. I thought I could easily pick up what I needed for a cheaper price in Mexico, but the prices weren’t what I expected.
Did you know that sometimes paying more is actually less? The extra perks that come with a slightly higher price tag may offset the extra cost and give you a better deal.on my second trip, I actually saved more money in total than my first trip staying at a regular hotel. Because the all-inclusive hotel nightly rate already includes unlimited food, drinks, and entertainment, I didn’t have to worry about any extra costs.: Don’t make the mistake of booking accommodations solely based on price.
