Float away on a 7-night trip to Mexico’s Riviera

The Real Deal: Seven nights' accommodations, all meals and activities, and the services of a guide, from $1,250 per person — including all taxes.

When: Daily departures year-round. 

The fine print: Includes all taxes and fees. Based on double occupancy; no single bookings. Does not include airfare. Note that rates will go up about $120 per person during late December; rates also go up in March, but if you mention this article, you can book a March trip at the $1,250 price. Read these guidelines before you book any Real Deal.

Book by: No deadline; based on availability.

Contact: Active Journeys, 800/597-5594, activejourneys.com.

Why it's a deal: Once you get to the resort, all meals and activities are included, and there are guides available to assist you. Note that the package price breaks down to $179 per person per night — a savings of about 40 percent off the rack rate at the resort after factoring out the airfare.

Lodging: Your base for the seven-night stay is a suite with a private balcony and ocean view at the Costa Azul Adventure Resort in San Francisco, Mexico. It's about 30 miles north of Puerto Vallarta and part of the up-and-coming Riviera Nayarit. All meals and alcoholic beverages are included during your stay, so you'll become very familiar with the resort's Wahoo's Bar and Grill. There is also a pool and a spa.
