You survived the hustle-and-bustle of the holiday season, spreading gifts and good cheer to everyone you know. There’s no need to wait for a spring break vacation — now is the time to treat yourself to a cheap vacation. Grab your SPF and your new swimsuit, and escape to a place where it’s always summer: Mexico. For exotic getaways that won’t break the bank, take your pick from these top three cheap Mexico vacations:

  1. Coral Island Hotel and Spa, Mazatlan: Whether you’re watching the waves crash on the beach or enjoying a quiet sunset from your room, this new Mexico hotel will easily calm your nerves. Everything about the property transmits tranquility — from the serene pool area to the detail-oriented staff. If your idea of relaxing is hitting the town, you’re only steps away from the entertaining Malecon Boardwalk. Coral Island Hotel and Spa is definitely worth its weight in gold but fortunately doesn’t cost anywhere near that much.
  2. Las Brisas Ixtapa: If you’re looking to get away from the action of the bustling Ixtapa nightlife, look no further than the stunning Las Brisas Ixtapa. Although this hotel is considered high-end with a price to match, there are still great deals to be found. The amount of amenities and luxury, including a private beach, ocean view rooms, personal hammocks and gourmet food, is sure to please those who have champagne taste but prefer white-zin prices.
  3. InterContinental Presidente Cancun: Soak up  Cancun’s nightlife at the newly renovated InterContinental Presidente Cancun, located within a short walking distance to some of the hottest clubs and restaurants in Cancun, and just across the street from a prime 18-hole golf course. Plus, this cheap hotel is situated right on one of the best beaches in the area. Be sure to ask for one of their expansive ocean view rooms to complete your picture-perfect Mexican vacation package.

From Cancun to Cozumel, there are many cheap Mexico hotels available for your own south-of-the-border adventure, but they do book up fast. Book ahead to take advantage of the best prices on cheap Mexico vacations.
