Inexpensive vacation destinations.

I like how people have been posting their vacation photos.

I would like to take a trip with the wife somewhere warm but need to do it on a budget.

Can fly out of Calgary.

Any suggestions?

I just got an email from "TravelZoo" Calgary to Memories Varadero Beach Resort in Cuba for $996 a person for a week all inclusive leaving Jan 15th.

That's a good deal ✅

Mayan Riviera - 995 plus tax - same date (Jan. 15) and you can actually eat and enjoy the food. No offence to Cuban fans - yes the beach is great - but the poor food doesn't make up for it.

If you have airmiles - hotels.com always has blowout hotels only pricing and you can set alarms for your price targets.

Our best value trip was to Maui last year. Booked the flight on a sale, but the real saver was we rented a condo. We ate breakfast and supper at home. Groceries were reasonable. Two large ribeye steaks were $12.00. Fruit was cheap. Condo had a BBQ. We only ate lunch out, either shrimp or fish tacos at food truck. The condo really saved on food and drink. I find eating out to be a huge cost. You and the wifey would love the spirit of the island.

Can compare things at this site to get an idea. Lowest price is Cuba. Wouldn't be afraid to stay at the Royal De Cameron outside of Puerto Vallarta if you can get it cheap.

theplowboy can you define "on a budget"? Specifically what could you afford per person?

We fly out of calgary too. Tripcentral is really good like Crusher says and have booked through them 4 times. Look at the "classic grid" for pricing and you can sort real easy and the price you see is all in not the usual where they add taxes and fees.

We're gonna go back to Cuba again in January, haven't booked yet. It's cheap and hasn't been wrecked by the Americans yet! We really like it there, as someone mentioned food is hit and miss but you won't go hungry. We like the fact you can walk half a mile to a section of beach and not see anyone all afternoon. Everyone camps by the resort for the bar but the beaches just keep going. Other warm places we've been you are fighting for a couple square feet of sand between a fat lady, some rowdy college kids and an annoying drunk dude. (Probably been the later two at one time but not anymore)

Water is calm there too, great for young kids, maybe not as much fun for some water sports.

Playa Secreto - Riv Maya: January, 2016 ...

On a good day - 2...

If I fly out of Calgary I can afford to go to Okotoks, maybe High River if I catch a sale.

Same beach. In summer it is the Discovery Channel...
