With summer fading fast, many hotels and resorts are trying to make the most of last-minute family vacations by offering unbeatable seasonal rates.

The following are sample savings found at some of the most popular family-friendly vacation destinations:

MEXICO

Mexico's Riviera Maya boasts sparkling white-sand beaches and picturesque ancient ruins. It's also home to the Maroma Resort and Spa, which features 65 spacious, sunlit guestrooms and suites featuring king-sized beds, handcrafted mahogany furniture, and hand-painted tiles.

Right now you can book a 3-night weekend stay for just $395 per night. The Best Deal Days offer includes complimentary inclusions valued at $500 per room, such as free airport transfers, daily breakfast, guided snorkeling trips, water sports rentals and much more.

WASHINGTON

Spokane is calling with an incredible deal for athletic families. The Golf & Stay package at the Pheasant Hill Inn includes accommodations, breakfast daily, and two 18-hole rounds of golf at a choice of area courses (about a $50 value). You'll also receive a golf tee, balls, snacks, and an area map. The inn is located in Inland Empire, which is located just east of downtown Spokane, along the border Washington shares with Idaho. Rates start at $159 per room per night.

In Quincy, Washington, families can take advantage of the Sunny Side Up package offered by the Cave B Inn at Sagecliffe. It includes accommodations and a breakfast buffet for two. The inn is located 900 feet above the Columbia River Gorge in Grant County, about two and a half hours east of Seattle. Rates start at $159 per night for a suite with spectacular views.

TEXAS

In an effort to attract cash strapped families, some of Dallas' ritziest hotels are offering amazing summer bargains. For example, the historic Adolphus Hotel, which boasts an elegant wood-paneled lobby, has rooms starting at $149. In addition, there are several hotel chains offering reasonable summer rates, including La Quinta Inn and Suites Dallas North Central. Located about seven miles from downtown, the hotel has rooms from $59 per night.
