Punta Mita, Mexico: $1,234 off Four Seasons stay

Yes, hotel rooms in Mexico are still on sale, and that includes the luxury ones, many of which are now available for more moderate prices. Case in point: The Four Seasons resort in Punta Mita is offering an unusual “Experience More” package that translates to rooms for around $220 a night this summer.

Deal: At the 173-room Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita, 45 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), you can get a $1,234 credit for every stay of four consecutive nights. And get this — you can apply this to any resort charges, including your room.

Tested: Nightly accommodations rates start at $415 per night (pre-tax) from now through Sept. 30, and at $545 from Oct. 1 to Nov. 18 and Nov. 28 to Dec. 21, 2009.

A four-night stay I tested in mid-July came to $1,660 pre-tax, but a significantly more $2,125 total. They get you with the taxes and resort fees. Still, apply that $1,234 credit at the check-out desk at the end of your stay, and your four nights at a Four Seasons amounts to $891, or $223 per night.

Why go: It’s turtle-nesting season on beaches in the area. Plus, the resort property itself will keep you plenty occupied, with its three pool areas, four restaurants, two golf courses, on-site spa and tennis courts. Some of the complimentary services and amenities included in every stay are a fitness center, daily fitness classes, full-day children’s program, meals for kids ages 4 and younger, valet parking, and a tequila-tasting and lecture.

When: The offer is good now through Dec. 21, 2009.
