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

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Visiting Puerto Vallarta on a budget is particularly appealing from September to November, as hotels often display lower prices, contributing to an affordable holiday. A stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended to fully explore the city's rich blend of landmarks, history, and culture, including its beaches, sunsets, sea excursions, art scenes, and opportunities for dining and dancing. This period offers great value for money, with prices that could drop, making it a cost-effective choice for travellers keen to enjoy a budget-friendly getaway.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To uncover last-minute deals to Puerto Vallarta, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may discover discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay informed about flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don’t miss any potential savings. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool available via the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so you’re more likely to see the best options. Be the first to know about any price drops or available rooms for a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices may vary depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and time of year, so you may save by being flexible with your dates when staying at a Puerto Vallarta hotel. For those interested in something distinctive, boutique hotels might provide a more personalised experience and occasionally offer better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average, and if it appears higher, we may suggest more affordable dates to help you potentially secure a better deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels near the city centre usually tend to be pricier, but thanks to Puerto Vallarta’s excellent public transport connections, you might find a more affordable independent hotel further afield that remains well connected. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often excellent value for money. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
