One of the best and most underrated tip that I have learned is to always (repeat ALWAYS) take all room keys with you everytime you leave the room. If anyone gets into your room (housekeeping included) and they can get your room key they can then come back later, or sell the key to thieves, and when you report theft to management, they will just say, Sorry, it looks like it was you who entered the room.
I book through a travel agent, but when I arrive the hotel offers an upgrade that we take because it should be a better room right? well on the last 2 times our upgrades put us in rooms with terrible views. Should we just stick with our original room? and not take the upgrade.
Im always cash “heavy”..bring 2 credit cards(just in case)and they immediately go in safe with cash..and take out the cash(as needed for what im doing…tips)..i try never to use my credit card except to initially book trip..acct already sketchy security in U.S. much less like Mexico ..
Hi Bea, How different is booking a trip through travel agent and online? Do you have any suggestions about the hotels, I want to book an all inclusive hotel, my budget is about $3000 Canadian dollar for ten days trip.

Just remember that multiple staff at the hotel can open the safe with a key.

Not expert but heard that travel agent can give you some discount.
Do all inclusive resorts have laundry service/machines
Hi Brad! No, unfortunately not every all-inclusive resort has laundry service but I'm happy to help you find one that does!
