Why you should go Escape to a secluded beach on Mexico’s Bahia de Banderas, a stunning 60-mile stretch of Pacific coastline that forms one of the largest natural bays in the world. The 4-star Grand Park Royal boasts four pools, four restaurants and bars and a private (and uncrowded) beach — though you're only 30 minutes from booming Puerto Vallarta, you'll feel worlds away.

What’s the big deal? With this members-only deal, two people can stay three nights (or longer) in an ocean-facing room. All meals and drinks are included in the $539 price, meaning your beach vacation comes to less than $100 per person, per night. Bottom line: these are the lowest rates we’ve seen all year for a Puerto Vallarta resort.
