Travel smarter, and you can stay somewhere great without spending a fortune. Many travellers miss easy opportunities for discounts and perks simply by not planning or booking strategically. With a few simple approaches, you can enjoy nicer rooms and extras for less. Try these four tips on your next trip.
Time your trip for seasonal deals
Travelling in the off-peak season can also result in lower costs for accommodations. During this time, hotels and resorts offer special packages to attract customers. These can include activities, free food, or even discounts for spas. If you can choose when you go, you can save even more by taking advantage of these special deals to get premium services at a lower cost. Be on the lookout for special deals like the Krabi Explorer offer, available to guests at Avani+ Koh Lanta Krabi Resort, to make the most out of your trip.
Pick properties with built-in value
Choosing hotels or resorts that include extras like breakfast, shuttles, or complimentary activities reduces what you spend on the ground. Some of the best resorts in Krabi will often advertise inclusive deals that combine comfort and convenience. Staying somewhere that bundles common expenses into the rate means fewer surprise charges and a more relaxed trip.
Look for package deals and bundles
Adding your room with transportation, tours, or meals can sometimes be done at a lower cost than booking each component separately. Many resorts have put together packages where everything is included. It can be very convenient and save you money at the same time. It can also be very useful if you’re going somewhere where excursions from the resort are common.
Book direct to access exclusive perks
Hotels also offer loyal customers who make direct bookings with the hotel exclusive services like free breakfast, room upgrades, or even flexible cancellation terms. In some instances, there are exclusive deals that are not offered on third-party booking engines, and this can be done by registering with the newsletter to get exclusive, limited-time deals. Booking directly with the hotel can be an effective way of maximising your rewards while minimising your stress.
