How much money should I bring?
It all depends on the individual, however, here's a few tips:
Most people eat only one "real" meal on Spring Break, dinner. The prices for a good dinner range from $7- $15 depending on where you eat and what you get. Drinks are extra! Side note: If you're getting the All-Inclusive option, you're not actually saving money. Yes, you're getting free dinks, daily breakfast, daily lunch, and daily dinner, but you're paying $250 - $400 more than if you were not getting the All-Inclusive. Is it worth it? You decide!
The All Week Party Extravaganza will save a lot of money for everyone (since cover charges at the clubs range from $20 - $40) – especially the HEAVY PARTIER. But others still like to drink before the clubs open. Drinks at restaurants and bars run from $1- $4 per beer, mixed drink, or refreshment (non happy hour prices). Drinks poolside will be about the same unless you're part of All Week Party Extravaganza which you'll get 2x1s at certain hotels.
Souvenirs are optional and so are beach activities. Here are some costs for a few of these (based on previous year's prices):
* Parasailing: $20
* Jet Skiing: $35 per ? hour
* Banana Boat: $5 per person
* Scuba Diving: $30 - $40
* Deep Sea Fishing: $ 300/boat (Maximum 6 people per boat)
* Shotover Jet: $35 with B-R Tours band, $55 without
* Blankets: $8 - $14
* T-shirts: $3 - $10
* Ponchos: $10 - $15
**Remember that Acapulco, Vallarta, and Cabo have better prices than Cancun and all offer much more than Mazatlan or other resorts.
Is the all inclusive option worth it?
It highly depends on what you think an ideal Spring Break trip consists of. If you think free-drinks and 3 meals a day is necessary, then go for it! If not, then don't get it. Here's why: If you're getting the All-Inclusive option, you're not actually saving money. Yes, you're getting free dinks, daily breakfast, daily lunch, and daily dinner, but you're paying $250 - $400 more than if you were not getting the All-Inclusive. Will you be “drinking” your money's worth the last 3 days of your trip? Probably not. Will you make it to breakfast every morning of your stay? Probably not. However, if you feel that by just having the security of knowing drinks and meals are free…then, the All-Inclusive option is worth it. For those of you that don't get it. Bianchi-Rossi Tours offers free meals as incentive for booking early and/or as an add-on to your party package for a special price.
Should I take travelers checks or credit cards, if so, what kind?
When you use a credit card for your purchases you receive the very best exchange rate. Acapulco, Vallarta, and Cabo accept most major credit cards, especially American Express, Visa, or MasterCard. Traveler's Checks are better and safer to travel with than cash. The best is American Express – they have an office in Acapulco and Vallarta, should you need any help or you lose your checks.
Where can I exchange my money?
You can exchange your money with our Tour Representatives in your hotel, at money exchange houses, or at banks located throughout the "hotel zone" of your desired resort. Exchanging money is very easy and convenient when on vacation in Acapulco, Vallarta, and Cabo.
What do I need to get into Mexico, and better yet, to get out of Mexico?
IMPORTANT Note for all Travelers: As of January 1st , 2007, all U.S. Citizens arriving in Mexico must present a valid passport , regardless of their mode of entry. Driver's license or Birth Certificate will no longer be acceptable.
Do I need to be a US citizen?
No. However, if you're not a U.S. Citizen you'll need to contact your local Consulate to obtain the necessary documents needed to travel into Mexico or you could be denied boarding at the airport which will result in the forfeiture of your entire trip. .
How do I get around in The Jewels of The Mexican Riviera?
In all 3 resorts (Acapulco, Vallarta, and Cabo), most of the "Hot Spots" are within walking distance. However, if you're feeling a little on the lazy side, taxies are very cheap and they are everywhere. Public busses run throughout the day for almost nothing!
Can I drink the water?
Some hotels have their own purification systems, but we at Bianchi-Rossi Tours recommend that you drink bottled water! You can purchase bottled water at various super markets, including Wal-Mart!
What type of clothes should I take with me to Mexico?
Take with you mostly casual clothes (shorts, T-shirts, etc.). You will want to also bring 4 or 5 "dressy" outfits, since 4 of our 5 clubs require guys to wear pants in Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta (jeans, khakis, or anything that will cover your legs). Ladies can wear whatever they want to any club but you might want something "dressy" since theses clubs are Ultra-Classy! You don't have to pack anything to keep you warm for the evening – your not going to Mazatlan, Padre, or Florida!!
