Loco for Locals: Paying Less in Paradise

Live in the area and have the ID to prove it? You may just be eligible for some amazing deals!

After checking with over 30 businesses in area, we discovered that many offer some awesome local discount, albeit many not during high season. While some issue a discount card, others simply ask to see your resident visa or picture ID with Quintana Roo address. Here are a handful of businesses that will help you save a penny or two.

  • Monica Manicure Express. 20 percent discount (show any local ID and receive Monica’s discount card, valid yearround). Quinta Avenida between 24th and 26th. www.monicamanicureexpress.com
  • Bric Spa. Up to 45% off on spa treatments and a Me Time membership for $850 MXN per month.  The latter requires a minimum of 3 months commitment and includes a 60 minute massage and 30 minute organic facial every month, access to their pool, garden patio, meditation/relaxation room and showers. During your birthday month you receive a free manicure & spa lunch. www.brichotel.com/spa
