Ways to save
- Stay at a guesthouse or hostel for $30-60/night instead of a resort for $150+/night, e.g., Hotel California offers rooms for $200+ while some guesthouses are $50.
- Eat at local taquerias or street food stands for $2-5 per taco/item instead of tourist-focused restaurants for $15-25 per entree, e.g., fish tacos at a street stand for $3 vs. a restaurant for $18.
- Rent a bicycle for $10-15/day to explore the town and nearby beaches, saving on taxi fares which can be $5-10 per ride for short distances.
- Visit the free art galleries and the Mission Nuestra Señora del Pilar for cultural immersion without cost, rather than paid tours for $40-60.
- Travel during the shoulder seasons (May-June, October-November) to find better deals on accommodation and activities, avoiding peak season price hikes of 20-30% in winter.
- Buy fresh produce and snacks from local markets like the Mercado Municipal for significantly less than convenience stores or hotel mini-bars, e.g., a bag of local fruit for $3 vs. pre-packaged snacks for $7.
