April and May Offer Spring's Best Rates on Trips to Hawaii and Mexico
Book Now for Savings on Resort Vacations During Pre-Summer Shoulder Season
SAN FRANCISCO, March 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Don't wait for summer to take a beach vacation as it will cost more. Some of the best prices of the year on travel to resort destinations like Hawaii and Mexico can be found during April and May, the "shoulder season" sandwiched between spring break and peak summer travel season, when resorts face softer demand and offer great deals.
"Travelers who book trips now for April and May can avoid spring break crowds, enjoy great rates on accommodations at popular destinations like Cancun and Kauai before the peak demand period drives prices up," said Amy Bohutinsky, consumer travel expert at Hotwire.com.
Hotwire guarantees the lowest hotel rates, with savings of up to 60 percent off of published prices. In some cases, these savings translate to hundreds of dollars off a hotel bill for a multi-night stay. For example, in a recent comparison of prices for a four-star resort in Cancun, Mexico, Hotwire's price ($84) was $65 below the nightly rate for the exact same hotel on Travelocity ($149). For a five night stay, this translates to $325 in total savings that travelers can apply to other interests during their vacation.*

* $66 / night 3-Star hotel, Los Cabos, Mexico - The Corridor
