Free breakfast for summer week-ends at Hyatt hotels in Germany

This is the newest promotion from Hyatt, to replace the 3 for 2 offer that just expired.

Similarly to the previous offer, it is valid only for week-end stays of minimum 2 nights (arrival on a Friday or Saturday).

The offer is valid for bookings until 29 June 2014, for stays between 27 June and 31 August 2014.

Click on the link below to go to the offer page and start your search:

Free breakfast for summer weekends at Hyatt properties in Germany

In the search results, this promotion is shown as "Summer Special". Rates are flexible, so you can cancel in case plans change.

The rate is advertised as giving 15% discount plus free breakfast, but we noted that, in fact, the actual discount is only the free breakfast:

- the "Summer Special" rate is approximately the same with the regular "Hyatt Daily Rate", thus meaning that the only added benefit is the free breakfast;

- the "Summer Special" rate is about 20% less than the regular "Bed and Breakfast" rate, which represents more or less the value of breakfast.

Cancun all-inclusive deals for 2013

The best times to go to Cancun are fast approaching (we recommend the months of April and May, since it is not too hot and humid, but still warm enough to have a true beach holiday).

We compared the offers of various online travel agencies for Cancun, for 1 week (4 - 11 May 2013) for 2 adults, on an allinclusive basis. We looked only for Cancun holiday resorts where the total price was maximum 1 500$ (or 750$ per person).

See the table below for our finds (with light blue is the best price and with light orange the second best price):

We excluded properties which have a guest rating below 7 on booking.com.

Also, we are very cautious when booking hotels below the 7.5 rating (after all, it should be a pleasant holiday and not a nightmare to forget).

Our top choices would be:

- Temptation Resort and Spa - the destination to be for those looking for a relaxed atmosphere in an adults only environment. At a total of 845$ for two persons, it's a steal compared to the 1 800$ the big three are selling it;

- Barcelo Tucancun Beach Hotel - less than 500$ per person per week for a great property (8.7 guest rating). Also, the fact that it's part of the Barcelo chain is comforting.

See the banners of the travel agencies if you want to look for availabilities:
