Vacations—as everyone know—are expensive and stressful to organize. So the wise traveler starts looking up flights and booking hotels at least a year in advance to get the best deals. But for people like you—yes, you—lazy and indecisive slobs who didn’t take a few minutes from their Netflix binge to plan your family vacation… there’s still hope.
Here are 5 ways to save money on summer vacations even if it’s last minute… brought to you by Palm Beach Resort.
1. Visit places within driving distance

It’s less than 3 hours away from Manila, making it a convenient vacation destination for tourists. The property is easily accessible by private and public transportation.
2. Travel with family and friends

3. Go for an all-inclusive resort

4. Explore the great outdoors

There’s also an obstacle course as well as climbing and rappelling walls if you’re feeling a little physical. The whole gang can play beach volleyball and other games at the team building area. Lastly, golf carts can be used to stroll around the vast property.
5. Stay on a weekday
