Know Before You Go
- Mexico is a vast and diverse country, but most of its coastlines share similar weather patterns. Generally, December through April offer the most pleasant weather for travel. Heat and humidity begin to increase in May, and the hurricane season typically runs from July to October.
- While attempting to practice Spanish is always appreciated in Mexico, don’t worry if you’re not fluent. Most staff at all inclusive resorts in Mexico are proficient in English, ensuring easy communication throughout your stay.
- Gratuities are usually included in the rates at most all-inclusive resorts. However, if you wish to offer extra tips for exceptional service, having Mexican pesos on hand is recommended. You can generally obtain the best exchange rates at your local bank before traveling.
