Extended Stay Colombia (ESC) offers amazing low cost vacations to Colombia.
We offer furnished apartments with fully equipped kitchens and hotel-style amenities in Medellin, Bogota, Cali and Cartagena.
Our travel partner, Travelers.com.co, is the largest chain of furnished apartments in Colombia with over 30 years experience and satisfied customers. Travelers came up with the idea for Airbnb long before Airbnb.
We offer 15 nights for 2 adults from $851 or 30 nights from $1,390.
I checked flights on despegar.com from several cities.
Roundtrip from Miami to Medellin is $447 per person. Non stop only 3.5 hours.
New York City to Medellin is $643 per person. One stop 8.5 hours total.
Los Angeles to Medellin is $732 per person. One top about 10 hours total.
So let´s say you have 2 weeks off and want to get to know Colombia.
From Miami, you and a companion can fly to Medellin non stop for $900 plus $851 for 15 nights at Travelers Rio Verde Living Suites in Rio Negro (by the airport about 20 or 30 minutes from Medellin) or Orange Suites in the chic neighborhood of El Poblado in Medellin.
Flights and hotel only about $1,750 for 2 adults for 15 nights or $2,290 for 30 nights.
If you live in the New York or LA areas, the cost would only be a couple hundred dollars more.
So how much would it cost from New York to say San Jose Costa Rica for 15 nights including flights and hotel ?
Note: these prices do include breakfast....only one has a kitchen so you have to eat out every meal except for breakfast.
All decent options are double or more than double !
- Irazu Hotel and Studios would be $3,184...almost double !
- Double Tree by Hilton $4,570
- Hyatt Place $3,692
- Holiday Inn $3,362
- Marriott $7,942
Or how about New York to Panama City, Panama for 15 nights, 2 adults
- Sheraton $3,166
- Ramada by Wyndham $4,464
- Novotel $3,188
