Feeling the effects of the economy? Don’t let it ruin your vacation plans!
Puerto Rico is a bargain destination and vacation packages can really help you save! Not to mention relieving the stress.
See the comparisons below and you will see how a Best of Both Puerto Rico Surf and Yoga package is a great way to go!
Now airfare from the states is very reasonable to Puerto Rico. For example a plane ticket from New York to Aguadilla is around $278 round trip (about $320 with taxes and fees). From Chicago to Aguadilla would cost more like $348 (around $400 with tax and fees).
Transportation from Aguadilla to the Best of Both Adventures is included in the package. If traveling without the package you can expect a rental car to be $350 for the week, plus fuel at about $75 for a total of $425.
Lodging in Puerto Rico at a beach front villa on average will cost $150-175/ night. We will take the middle and say that you could spend $160 plus tax for a total of about $688.
What about food, everyone needs to eat! All meals are included in the 5 day – 4 night Best of Both Adventure. Gourmet meals prepared with locally grown products and a true taste of Caribbean cuisine. If you are traveling and need to eat out you can expect to spend $10-15 for breakfast, $15 for lunch and $25-35 per person for dinner. So, saying you kept it on the low end, you need to budget $50 for food each day and that does not include drinks and snacks! We better figure another $20 for that making a total of $70 plus tax and gratuity which would make about $100 per day in food and drinks!
Now, some people can come to the island and just be satisfied with sitting on the beach watching the surfers. But there are those of us watching who desire to give the sport a try. Let’s add in $100/day for surf lessons. We will then feel the need for a restorative yoga class at $20/class and how about a massage to work on the tired muscles from the surf lesson , that’s another $70. We have just added $190 without tax and gratuity!
Traveling to Puerto Rico requires no passport. No long lines passing through customs. It is one of the most economical vacation destinations and below you will find a comparison of booking a trip with Best of Both Adventures vs. traveling on your own.
Let’s make this easy and compare below:

Off the top it is easy to see that you would save over $200 with the Best of Both trip. More to consider; in the comparison the food budgeted would be restaurant meals. After 5 days of eating breakfast, lunch and dinner at a restaurant your body may be in need of a detox. Best of Both Adventure meals are carefully prepared in a healthy, delicious way to restore balance to the body. If a fair meal price comparison were to be done and you were to eat privately prepared meals you would need to add at least $200 more dollars to the budget.
The daily yoga sessions are designed to target the muscles used in surfing and to help you develop your own practice to return home with. Our instructors are trained to personally assist your needs and to help you find a yoga routine that will fit into your lifestyle. This is not something you would get from just any class!
I could go on and on about the beauty and tranquility of our villas, the friendliness of the staff, etc. But most importantly I cannot put a price value on the relationships that develop from these adventures. Some travel with friends or family and some travel alone, but each and every surf and yoga trip, new friendships develop and much is learned from sharing this experience together as women!
