Top 10 Tips For Vacationers On A Budget

1. Stay in the town next door - By staying in a smaller town close to where you plan to spend most of your time can save you a bundle. Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort is located just 15 minutes outside the downtown area of Murcia, Spain.

2. Book a suite - Instead of having two rooms, consider the two bedroom suites that some hotels provide. They will end up being cheaper and you get just as much privacy with your own room. Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort offers both one and two bedroom suites.

3. Use the same airport - Flying in and out of the same airport is almost always cheaper. It’s not only the flight tickets but the car rentals as well. Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort is located near four airports, including the international airport of San Javier.

4. Think about size when renting a car - If you want a car for convenience and plan on making short trips in it, choose a smaller car. This will save you a great deal on gas. Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort is located within easy traveling distance to the grand cities of Granada, Seville, and Cordoba, as well as the glamorous cities of Marbella and Puerto Banus on the Costa del Sol.

5. Traveling around the area? Driving is not that bad - Planning on taking an hour flight to another location? With airport security and all the airport inconveniences, you might as well drive there. Usually it will take the same amount of time and is typically less expensive. Plus, once you get to your location, having a car is easier than needing to take your bags everywhere.

6. If you don’t plan on renting a car, avoid taxis and welcome public transportation - Tourists usually take taxis because it seems like the easiest way, however by taking the subway or bus, you could save yourself some money.

8. Cook for yourself - Not many people do this, but cooking while on vacation can sometimes be quite fun since the experience is new (cookware, dining area, supermarkets etc). The suites at Palatinum Golf, Spa, and Sport Resort offer fully equipped designer kitchens.

9. Enjoy a mini tour - Instead of taking a bus tour that takes days, why not enjoy a tour that takes a couple hours and shows you around the city you are visiting.

In fact, Murcia, Spain offers visitors a variety of walking tours to partake in.
