Then again . . . while the plebes are content to just jacket up and rake in the leaves that shroud their lawns, the savviest travelers can break out the Bermudas and rake in deals to more locales where the mercury climbs a bit higher this time of year.
Central America, Mexico, Florida — they’re all comin’ a-wooing. Here are three beachy steals to nab. COSTA RICA for $900/person
The new “To The Stars” package includes three nights at the bohemian, tree-hugging, Las Catalinasset Santarena Hotel. The Juneopened resort is tossing in breakfast and the use of a hydrogen-powered rental car — the only such whip in Latin America fueled by the periodic table’s numero uno — along with a tour of a space rocket company HQ in nearby Guanacaste, which goes by the same name as the new Brad Pitt flick, “Ad Astra.” Good for travel through June 2020 ( Santarena Hotel.com). MEXICO for $95/person
Starting rates at the Marriott Puerto Vallarta Resort & Spa are now 20 percent off. Oooh, shiny new pool. Oooh, shiny new renovated rooms (433 of them). Oooh, shiny new nightly costs that are less than a Cnote ( PuertoVallartaMarriott.com). MIAMI for 50 percent off
Luxury suites and penthouse villas at the centrally located SLS South Beach hotel are half off — which goes a heckuva long way when it eviscerates starting nightly rates from $900 to $450. Book by Sept. 27, stay by Dec. 23 ( SLSHotels.com).
