It has lovely sandy, white beaches to go along with over 100 resorts that draw in guests from all over North America and Europe.
Prices per night
August is a warm month, but it’s dry and the ocean breezes keep it very comfortable day and night. This is also one of the cheapest periods of the year for resort prices, so you can find very nice all-inclusive beach hotels (search assisted by our partner Booking.com) starting well under US$200 per night for two people.
You can also check AirBnB.com website – there is many individual booking opportunities, private apartments and flats (more then 250). Prices are around US$80-US$120 for very nice apartment (for 4 people). If you are not registered of Airbnb.com – use This Link, register and you will get 23 EUR credit for your first booking with Airbnb.com – it’s my personal referral link, so both of us will get some credit if you use it for registration 🙂
