The most important thing to know about booking Hotwire hotels in Mexico is that hotel reservations are non-refundable. This means they cannot be changed for any reason. \u00a0You are basically stuck with what you get. \u00a0It is always good to ensure that your travel plans are final and are not going to change. \u00a0For more information, visit the Hotwire Discussion Forum<\/a> where you can ask questions or seek help about Hotwire.<\/p>\n If you are planning a beach vacation to Mexico, I would urge caution when booking through Priceline. This is particularly true for Priceline’s Name Your Own Price bidding system. \u00a0The problem with Priceline is that you know much less about the hotel you are booking making it too risky for some. Remember, hotel reservations are final. \u00a0For instance, if you book on Priceline you may not know if the hotel is on the beach or half a mile away. \u00a0Your hotel may not even have a swimming pool! \u00a0Although rare, there is often too much at risk when you book a hotel on Priceline as opposed to Hotwire for hotels in Mexico.<\/p>\n On the other hand, Priceline’s Express Deals is very similar to Hotwire. \u00a0Travellers do know what hotel amenities they will get. \u00a0This service is definitely worth taking a look at and comparing prices.In previous trips, I have met some travellers who have booked their hotel on Priceline and been very happy with it. \u00a0The savings are generally quite more on Priceline, so if you are very budget conscious and want to take a chance, it might be worth it to give Priceline a try. \u00a0For me, a trip with my family during spring break was not worth the risk. We avoided Priceline.<\/p>\n In addition to non-refundable hotel reservations, there are a few other tips you should be aware of before booking a hotel on Hotwire in Mexico.<\/p>\n A common pitfall on Hotwire. Oceanfront does not mean beachfront.<\/p><\/div>\n One great feature of booking Hotwire hotels in Mexico is that you can book all-inclusive resorts in Mexico via Hotwire. \u00a0If you are looking for an all-inclusive resort, there are some very important things you should know before you book. \u00a0First you want to make absolutely certain you understand what you are getting when you book.<\/p>\n All inclusive basically means that your hotel includes food and beverage choices included in the price. \u00a0Unless otherwise stated, expect buffet style dining and house drinks. \u00a0 For example, you are not going to be getting Sailor Jerry’s rum in your Coke or high end gin in your martini. \u00a0In fact, you should expect the opposite — the lowest and cheapest alcohol they can find. \u00a0If booze is your thing, look for “premium drinks<\/strong>“. This helps to ensure you will get some (but not all) of the higher end spirits. \u00a0Similarly, if you want a fine dining experience, you should look for the amenity that shows “a la carte dining<\/strong>“, where guests can enjoy sit-down meals with menu selection.<\/p>\n Travellers will want to ensure Hotwire shows additional amenities that one might expect to find at an all inclusive. \u00a0Look for the ‘resort’ amenity which indicates 1 or more swimming pools, as well as different types of activities and entertainment. \u00a0Hotwire usually shows a number of amenities such as “kids activites”, “water activities” such as snorkelling or wind surfing, and “evening entertainment”.<\/p>\n Unlike most other hotels, the price per room for all-inclusives depends on the number of guests. \u00a0Where as it might not matter if you specify 2 or 3 guests at a normal hotel, it does matter for all-inclusives. \u00a0It would be unfortunate if you booked for 2 adults and showed up with an extra guest — even a child can have additional fees. \u00a0Best to book for the number of guests you are planning to have on your vacation.<\/p>\n Many travellers avoid Hotwire because of the inherent risks around non-refundable and unknown ‘mystery hotels. \u00a0The Hotwire Forum on this site is a great place to seek advice and help identifying your hotel before booking<\/a>. \u00a0This is a place where travellers like to help fellow travellers. \u00a0In fact, many travellers often post the name of the Hotwire hotel they received from their booking. \u00a0We have recently began collecting a list of hotels hotels in Mexico. \u00a0The list of Hotwire Mexico Hotels<\/a> is small but growing.<\/p>\nHotwire Mexico or Priceline<\/h2>\n
