Cabo San Lucas

The Marina Fiesta Resort is located in downtown Cabo San Lucas Mexico and overlooks the marina. The accommodations and the view of the marina are excellent, but the best part about the Marina Fiesta Resort is the location. The Marina Fiesta Resort is walking distance to everything in Cabo. I have stayed at other resorts on the beach, and the taxi ride to town to go fishing in the morning, then back to your hotel in the afternoon, then back to town in the evening to have dinner and drinks, then back to the hotel at night are a pain in the butt and cost a fortune. At the Marina Fiesta, if you want to enjoy some of the best deep sea fishing in the world you simply walk down stairs to one of the many of charter boats. If you would like to have dinner in town, you simply walk around the marina to choose from the dozens of restaurants for every taste. Other activities within walking distance include ATV tours and Jet Skis. The security at the hotel and the marina are both excellent with 24-hour security guards.

Travel Tips

Travel Auction

By now you’ve probably used an online booking site like Expedia or Travelocity. These sites are easy to use and often offer great deals on travel packages, hotels, car rentals, and flights. But, there is an even more fun and easy way to book your travels online! Consider participating in a travel auction! Online travel auction sites allow users to bid on a variety of travel deals and may offer greater savings than other online travel sites. Just like any other auction site, users search for and then bid on specific “items” during the bidding period, when the bidding period ends the user with the highest bid wins the item. Typically, travel details are entered after a winner is chosen.

Here are some helpful tips for using a travel auction site:

· Be patient. Travel auction sites are getting very popular and some people are bidding way over cost but deals can still be found if you are patient.

· Read all the fine print, as there may be taxes and fees that can increase the price. Sometimes the increase can be quite significant so you should consider the total cost (after tax and fees) when bidding for an item.

· Be flexible. Travel auctions are not ideal for travelers that require traveling on specific dates. Sometimes you may purchase the item and then chose dates at a later date.

· It may be helpful to know on average what the cost would be through a travel agent or other site. If the bids get too high, it may be easier to go elsewhere.

· See if there are any auction alert systems available on the site. Use this function to track your auctions. If available, it may be beneficial to see how items have been selling in the past. This can help you establish a maximum bidding price.

Sometimes booking travel and planning may be boring and tedious but with travel auctions, you can have fun while getting a great deal. To get started check out skyauctions.com!
