By enabling email alerts or push notifications, you could stay updated on flash sales and special promotions to ensure you don’t miss opportunities for cheap hotels. Additionally, the Smart Shopping feature in the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, so if prices drop or rooms become available, you'll be among the first to know, making your getaway more affordable.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates could help you save on your stay in a Lapu-Lapu hotel. For those in search of unique accommodations, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and, at times, better value. When you book with Hotels.com, we’ll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average.
