4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Puerto Vallarta

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly time to visit Puerto Vallarta is from September to November, when hotel prices are typically lower. For a great value for money experience, staying for at least 4 to 5 days is recommended to fully enjoy the city’s landmarks and cultural offerings. During your visit, you can indulge in beautiful sunsets, relax on the beach, and explore various excursions, all while enjoying the local art, entertainment, dining, and dancing options. This timeframe may provide you with an affordable getaway that allows you to immerse yourself in the rich history and vibrant culture of Puerto Vallarta.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: Hotels.com offers travelers heading to Puerto Vallarta the chance to explore Deals by browsing the dedicated section, where discounted hotels may be available. You could find last-minute deals by checking the Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window area and enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app helps you compare hotel prices and amenities, so you're more likely to see opportunities for savings when rooms become available or prices drop.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary based on factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so having flexibility with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Puerto Vallarta hotel. If you're interested in unique accommodations, boutique hotels might provide a more personalized experience and potentially better value. When you book with Hotels.com, you'll be informed if the price for your chosen dates is higher or lower than average, and if it's on the higher side, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you find a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city center usually tend to cost more, but thanks to Puerto Vallarta's excellent public transportation, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further out that’s still well connected.
