Sleep Double
Instead of every person getting their own bed, start doubling up in twin beds, and this includes children. This means that four people can fit in a home that has two twin size beds. While it may require a bit of adjustment, families will have so much fun during the day they will drift off into a peaceful night's sleep once they get home anyway.
The Beach
The beach is free, and everyone in the family can enjoy it. Most adults simply enjoy the look and serene atmosphere of Manual Antonio beach, and children can enjoy going swimming, learning how to jump when a wave comes and building sand castles together. Families often enjoy hunting for sea shells, or simply relaxing and reading together as they enjoy the breath taking sunset. Sailboat rentals are another popular option, as is snorkelling. Keep in mind that equipment rentals do tend to vary in price.
Then, Leave the Beach
The beach is a great place for free fun and building sandcastles, but it can be more expensive than other restaurants when it comes to eating out or even getting something to drink. The beach is one of the most popular attractions, and many of the surrounding businesses take advantage of that by increasing their prices.
Simply packing a lunch or traveling a little way away from the beach for dinner can help make a trip to Manuel Antonio more affordable, especially if a family follows this rule of thumb for an entire week or two. Families can head down the main street for a few blocks and usually see a decrease in prices, or at least find a nice lunch special.
Public Transportation
The area of Manuel Antonio does have public transportation in the form of buses and taxis. While these may not be as comfortable for some as car rentals, they will help a family save hundreds of dollars on their vacation when cutting the cost of rentals. As an added bonus, a person will not have to concentrate on driving as much, allowing them to enjoy all of the scenery around them.
National Park
There is a wonderful national park where tourists can still find adorable wildlife. This peaceful, serene setting is the perfect way to spend a day at Manual Antonio, and it is more cost effective than many of the other activities that are offered, particularly those that are on the beach that are geared towards tourists, like surf board rentals.
Plan Ahead
Planning ahead can help a family save a lot of money when it comes to their vacation. This popular destination has something for every family, and for every budget. Browsing the internet can help a family find a new way to have fun every day that they are away while they still stay within their budget and can help them find an affordable home for the week. There are plenty of options available for everything from restaurants to day activities.
Manuel Antonio is quickly becoming the most popular destination for tourists everywhere. The beaches are beautiful, and the national park is famous. Luxurious villas offer the perfect home away from home for families, and the food is delicious. With these tips on how to save money, every family can now enjoy their trip to one of the most beautiful destinations on Earth without having to concern themselves about financial matters.
