Mexico has a wide variety of accommodation options suited for every traveler's taste. The more touristy areas such as Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas offer mostly large hotels and resorts. You can find very nice, smaller properties in the lesser known parts of Mexico. For the more adventurous, beach camping and RV parks are a fun option.
- Like any country, the quality of Mexico's accommodations varies greatly and as a general rule, the more you pay, the better the accommodation will be. (This is mainly true in the more touristy areas; if you choose to stay in smaller towns, you can get decent accommodation for very cheap).
- There are a few sites that can help you search for hotel deals and even book them online. Learn more about them in the findingDulcinea Travel Guide.
- Don't be surprised if you pay "American" prices when you stay in places such as Cabo San Lucas and Cancun. The more touristy areas are much more expensive than the less traveled parts of Mexico.
