Top vacation destinations: Off-season deals

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

Off-season-travel When it comes to top vacation destinations — those looking for cheap vacations can find good travel deals during off-peak times.

Cheap off-season travel often means fewer crowds and good travel deals on hotels and flights. So how do you know where to go? Each season we identify the top vacation destinations for off-season travel deals, and here are the latest:

Cheap Colorado vacation: As spring comes to the Rockies and prime ski season winds down, Colorado becomes a smart vacation destination for active travelers. Off-season travel in Colorado means you can hike and bike in the mountains; shop, dine and relax at popular ski resorts with a bit more elbow room; even enjoy the culture and entertainment scene in Denver — all with cheap hotel rates. One example: Hotel Teatro in Denver, rated one of the top 500 hotels in the world by Travel+Leisure magazine, is offering 35% off stays of three days or more through July 31. You'll also find cheap hotels in Aspen, Steamboat and other top Colorado vacation destinations.

Cheap Florida vacation: Sunny Florida becomes a little less crowded in the spring, as the rest of the country starts to warm up — which makes it a great time for a cheap Florida vacation. You'll likely find less crowded beaches and attractions, and cheap Florida hotels. Like the Gulfcoast Inn Naples, which is offering 20% off each night for stays through June 1; and the Regal Sun Resort in Orlando with travel deals including 50% off stays.

Cheap Puerto Rico vacation: Cheap off-season travel deals abound now in this Caribbean nation famous for its beaches, casinos and golf courses. Save 20% on stays of three days or more through September 30 at Gran Melia Puerto Rico. Or try the Golden Sands Villas, with its infinity pool and signature golf course, for 50% off.
