Frequently asked questions

How much does a Descanso travel package cost?
From as low as £912. Yes, you read that correctly. Our Descanso travel packages are a simple way to make your dollars go much further. Bundle your preferred hotels, flights and car rentals and explore this fabulous destination.
If I'm not able to travel, can I cancel my Descanso travel package?
Don't stress if you're rethinking your Descanso travel package — you can cancel or amend your booking. And if you've booked it within 24 hours, you may be able to do it for free. However, bookings made more than 24 hours ago may incur a fee from your airline, hotel or car rental company. We know your circumstances can suddenly change, so head to our Customer Service Portal if that occurs. When you're ready to make changes, we'll be here to help.
How do I get a cheap travel package to Descanso?
One of the easiest ways to save money (and time) is to combine your bookings with Expedia. Flights, hotels, activities and rental cars — we've got them all covered. Choose the combination that best fits you and watch your savings grow. Of course, a travel package is never one-size-fits-all. That's why we offer over 550 airlines and 1,000,000 properties from all over the world, which lets you customize your Descanso adventure.
Does Expedia offer Book Now, Pay Later Descanso holidays?
Expedia has teamed up with online lender Klarna to make your next break easier on your hip pocket. Paying in instalments means you can spread the costs of your next dream escape, leaving you with more cash to spend while you're away. Klarna has several payment plans to choose from, so you're sure to find one that fits your budget. Take a look at these flexible payment options:

  • Pay monthly holidays: Realise your holiday dreams sooner with Klarna's monthly instalment plans. If paying just a little each month sounds right for you, choose this option during the checkout process.
  • Pay in instalments holidays: With this Book Now, Pay Later option, Klarna allows you to pay for your holiday across multiple transactions.
  • Low deposit holidays: If paying a small percentage of your getaway (rather than all of it upfront) makes it easier to click that "book now" button, consider a low deposit holiday payment plan with Klarna.

Where should I stay in Descanso?
A trip to Descanso wouldn't be complete without a visit to Lions, Tigers & Bears. Why not choose a hotel close to this great tourist attraction?
What are the top hotels in Descanso?
Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego and Paradise Point Resort And Spa are among the most well-known hotels in Descanso. Why not have a look at the amenities and rates at each and then decide?
How far in advance should I book my Descanso holiday?
Travellers are usually able to compare international airfares on Expedia within 12 months of the departure date. Booking at the last minute? With a stroke of luck, it's still possible to score a cheap ticket just weeks before your flight.
What does an Expedia Descanso travel package include?
From airfares and hotels to car rentals, Expedia can help you shape a Descanso package that's perfect for you. Heading off for a week or two? Look into a flight, rental car and hotel bundle. If you can only manage a quick getaway, a hotel and airfare deal could be more your style. Tours and activities can be added once you've made your booking. Our travel packages make it a cinch to plan and save.
What should I know before booking a Descanso travel package?
When you book your hotels, flights and car rentals together, you'll pick up incredible discounts. Whether you're planning an outdoor getaway in a chalet or want to stay in a luxurious city hotel, Expedia will make it happen for less.
