I was planning to go Cancun because it's insanely cheap, but now I hear the prices skyrocket during peak season?

Question

Kind of a bummer, thought I was getting a cheap action but it's expensive like everything else :/

Answer 1

So don't go during the peak season. Or stay in the Hotel Zone's hostel or in Ciudad Cancun on the mainland for $20 per night and take the bus to the HZ. It's hot (and sometimes wet) there during the summer anyway, but our weather in February was perfect.

Answer 2

We book our all inclusive vacations about eight months ahead through a chartered airline for the end of November into a couple of weeks in December. We get $1000 off for early booking, and the weather in Cancun is sunny and comfortably warm to hot. Prices are still reasonable at this time.

Answer 3

That's true In a lot of tourist destinations. Prices are lower in the offseason.

Answer 4

Yes, it is a shame that having some good simple fun can cost so much. Things are often more fun when you think you are getting a bargain.
