Get ready for a flurry of fun 10-10-10 promotions and incentives - especially from the travel industry.
For instance, starting at midnight on Oct. 10, five resorts in the Caribbean, Mexico and Belize are offering deals ranging from $10 room nights, $1,010.10 packages and Twitter-only offers. The deals run the gamut, but the common denominator is you can only book them through 11:59 p.m. on Oct. 10.
Here are a few of the best offers:
The San Juan Marriott Resort in Puerto Rico offers a four-night/five-day package during the week of Christmas including daily breakfast in the newly renovated La Vista Latin Grill. The package, valid on December 23-29 stays, is $1,010.10. This luxurious AAA 4-Diamond resort on Condado Beach features one of the best hotel casinos. The Condado Beach location puts guests in a prime location to visit many Puerto Rican attractions, from the Bacardi Rum distillery, to the fortifications of El Morro and San Cristobal, to the natural beauty of El Yunque rainforest. Remember: No passport is required for U.S. citizens traveling to Puerto Rico. See more at www.marriottsanjuan.com or call 1-800-228-9290 and request Promo Code HO9.
