"We had a great stay at this location. Close to Carrera National Park as well as the beach. We did not use their pool facilities or spa. Dinner buffet was what you’d expect when feeding a crowd but had a nice variety. We would definitely stay there again."

Frequently asked questions

How much does a San Mateo holiday package cost?
You'll find cheap prices on Expedia for your San Mateo escape. However, a range of factors like your choice of hotel, the season and length of stay will influence how much your holiday to San Mateo costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to San Mateo?
To score cheap San Mateo holiday packages, plan your trip outside of peak periods such as school holidays. You'll typically find lower prices and better availability in the off-season or when it's less busy.
How many days is enough for San Mateo?
With a well-organised travel plan, you can easily visit the main San Mateo attractions in a handful of days. But if you want to discover hidden gems or go on day trips, consider booking your San Mateo holiday for longer.
How to find the best San Mateo package deals?
Use Expedia's filter tool to help you find some tempting San Mateo package deals. When you start your search, simply set your maximum budget and then sort the results by "Price: low to high." If you're looking to save, plan your adventure for midweek, or search for San Mateo package deals in the low season. Switch up your travel dates and you may land even bigger discounts. As a rule of thumb, it's typically best to lock in your holiday package as early as possible.
Is it cheaper to book a San Mateo holiday as a package?
Expedia holiday packages are designed to give you more bang for your buck. Bundle your car rental, flight and hotel into one great-value price and you could save hundreds of dollars. You'll generally snag a better deal than booking each component individually. And you'll still get the flexibility to create a customised San Mateo holiday by choosing your preferred airline, accommodation type and car class.
