In Santa Monica, Hotel Casa del Mar, an exclusive beach club in the 1920s with panoramas of the Pacific Ocean, has an offer where guests who book three nights get a fourth night free.
A daily $75 breakfast credit is included and can be used toward room service or at the property’s Coast restaurant.
Bookings start from $489 a night after the discount.
The promotion is valid through the end of the year.
A vacation to a beautiful seaside destination does not have to blow your budget. Travelers who plan their visit for the right time — shoulder or offseason, perhaps, or on a weekday — can find plenty of deals in oceanside locales known for their high prices.
When it comes to Europe, for example, Simone Amorico, an owner of Access Italy, said that the prices drop by at least 25 percent in upscale spots like the Amalfi Coast after the middle of September. Besides the lower prices, there are other benefits to a post peak-season trip.
“You have a higher chance of getting room upgrades and reservations at popular restaurants,” he said. “Stores also offer discounts because they want to get rid of their merchandise from the season.” Overall, Amorico said that travelers can look forward to a trip with fewer crowds and plenty of opportunities to interact with locals in a relaxed way.
