Asked on January 5th, 2025Could you kindly provide me with the examples of hotels where we would stay during the trip? Is it possible to choose from some hotels based on their ratings?

Traveler•Written January 2025Could you please share the list of hotels that are part of that trip? We would like to compare it and see what's more suitable for us. Beside that, in the itinerary of Premium Mexico it is mentioned that the travel includes private vehicle, plane and boat but flight tickets are not included. is it correct? And what would be additional costs to be covered except from the trip fee?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written January 2025
The flight between Oaxaca to Playa Del Carmen is included in the trip cost. The international flight is not included and aside from the unincluded meals and optional activities some other expenses would be insurance and tipping however that is not mandatory.
