Best Summer 2023 Hotel Deals

Summertime is almost here, and with the warm season comes several hotel promotions and perks that can make the experience more fun (and more affordable) for you and the whole family.

Here are some of the latest summer promotions and hotel deals.

• Hilton Cancun: In addition to double points (plus a separate bonus offer this summer), guests can participate in the Workout-of-the-Day, or WOD, Vacation Challenge at Hilton Cancun, an All-Inclusive Resort. The challenge includes a cross-training session, cardiovascular and strength exercises, team games, a running circuit, and a cool-down and stretching session at the hotel gym. Two oceanfront infinity pools add to the fun between meals at one of the dozen dining options. Families will find the all-inclusive offering, pools and on-site activities convenient and entertaining for all ages.

• Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya: Has a “summer vibes promotion” offering free food and stay for children under 12, complimentary breakfast and airport transfers, and a $150 resort credit. 

• Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya: Hilton’s largest resort in the Caribbean and Latin America has two promotions of its own, offering as much as 25% off certain rooms and suites.

• Waldorf Astoria Cancun: At the luxe Waldorf Astoria Cancun, two packages add some pampering spa treatments. The Mayan Spirit package includes private yoga classes, a session with a local shaman, craft beer tasting, a massage for two people, airport transfers and breakfast. The Treasured Retreat package includes a ride to and from the airport, private yoga, breakfast and a massage for two people.

You can now earn or redeem IHG One Rewards points at The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and take advantage of a special summer promotion.

For stays of two nights or more, guests are eligible for up to a 25% discount on suite rooms. On top of that, anyone who enrolls in its Grazie Rewards program can also shave another 5% off the rate.

From Sicily, Italy to the city centers of Barcelona, Spain; Berlin; and Lisbon, Portugal, NH Hotels is offering as much as 20% off its best available rates for summer travel.

NH Hotels is part of the Discovery loyalty program where members earn “Discovery Dollars” for their overall spending at the hotel. The only caveat is that reservations need to be made at least 30 days in advance.

Hilton Honors members surely know about Grand Wailea, A Waldorf Astoria Resort, in Maui. This summer, it’s offering a Sun, Sand + Summer package that comes with a cabana for private relaxation by the sea plus a $100 food and beverage credit.

Other perks for as many as four people are a luau, an outrigger tour, one dinner, daily breakfast and airport transfers. Of course, earning Hilton Honors points is an extra perk of any stay here.

Hilton Honors members can enjoy a daily resort credit with the Make My Stay offer at several hotels and resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico and Hawaii. Guests can use the on-property credit for food, beverage or spa experiences.

Reservations must be made at least 14 days in advance. It’s valid on stays for between three to seven nights; some properties require a five-night minimum stay.

If it’s more of a residential experience you’re after, the trio of Beach Enclave properties in Turks and Caicos has a special offer in store for this summer. Make a reservation by June 30 for any stay through Dec. 18, 2023, and receive a $100 nightly resort credit plus 20% off the best available rate.

During your stay, a private butler will cater to your every need while you enjoy the amenities of a multibedroom accommodation on one of the Caribbean’s most beautiful islands. Beach Enclave is part of the Fine Hotels & Resorts program from American Express, which comes with special benefits for certain AmEx cardholders.

The resort is also offering a complimentary kiteboarding lesson or eco-kayak tour for guests booking this special deal.

This summer’s promotions offer several benefits for visitors of El Mangroove, Autograph Collection in Costa Rica. The Wellness Getaway offer comes with daily breakfast for two, stand-up paddleboarding and a bliss massage for two.

An unlimited spa treatment offer for two-night stays or more can be another way to relax after spending time in the Costa Rican jungle.

For guests staying at least three nights, there’s a promotion offering a 10% discount on the best available rate and 5,000 bonus Marriott Bonvoy points. Some packages may have a minimum four-night stay requirement.

Consisting of The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes and the JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes, this pair of resorts is offering summer celebrations and weekly fireworks to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

Each Saturday, fireworks will illuminate the sky and the Grande Lakes Waterpark and pool will be filled with glow-in-the-dark rafts and neon lights to the tune of a live DJ. There will be kid-friendly outdoor activities including waterproof face painting and balloon animals.

Adults can join in on the fun too with a mixology course, live ice carving by an Olympic Champion Carver, fire dancing, and even a champagne and dessert trolley.

Dozens of Marriott family hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa are offering a summer promotion that cuts the cost of a second room in half. It’s a great deal for families looking to use the savings for more exciting activities or meals on their trip.

The offer is available on many of Marriott Bonvoy’s brands if the second room is occupied by someone under 16. Some eligible properties for this promotion include the W Muscat, the Sheraton Grand London Park Lane and Aloft Dubai Creek, among others.

Between now and Sept. 4, 2023, any “Pay With Points” redemption at a Best Western property in the United States, Canada or the Caribbean comes with a nice little surprise after you check out.

Best Western Rewards will refund 2,000 points back to your account, which is a helpful bonus to use on future stays.

No matter where you’re headed, chances are there are some loyalty points promotions, hotel deals or special offers to help you save cash or enjoy more during your trip. And if not, don’t be afraid to call the hotel and politely ask if there are any deals.

Sometimes, a hotel is eager to encourage direct bookings, and if you are bringing along the whole family, it may offer you something extra to make the trip special.
