A suggestion is to switch hotels after a week. We often do this. No matter how good the food is, tired of same thing after a week!

Anne, do I wait till Nov 24 Black Friday the exact date to check on the deals on Sun Wing web site or do the deals start before the actual date?

Anne

Lisa I would start looking and sign up for emails.
You kind of need to know what prices are looking like before to make sure it’s a good deal.

If you are booking to go to Mexico I would also price out travelocity as well.
You need to know what flights you would prefer, narrow it down to a few hotels or at least know what is important to you in a hotel.

Anne Thanks! Did you book yours on the Black Friday or Cyber Monday the exact date or did you research first and booked it before the actual date? I just worried if I grab a deal now and it turned out to be a lot cheaper on Nov 24.

Also: selloffvacations sell sunwing packages slighly cheaper too. Could be at least $500 off the cost of a child's price. Not the tax just the ticket itself.

Booking an All-Inclusive Cancun Vacation: Advance vs. Last Minute

Posted on [Current Date]

Planning a 14-day all-inclusive vacation in Cancun with Sunwing for February 2018 is an exciting prospect. However, the decision of when to book your trip can significantly impact your overall costs. In this blog post, we'll explore the advantages and disadvantages of booking in advance versus waiting for last-minute deals.

Booking in Advance

Booking your Cancun all-inclusive vacation well in advance, such as now, can offer several benefits:

  • Better Availability: Popular resorts and travel dates can sell out quickly, especially during peak seasons like February. By booking early, you increase your chances of securing your preferred resort and travel dates.
  • Lower Prices: Airlines and resorts often offer their best rates when you book several months in advance. Early bird discounts and promotional offers can help you save money on your vacation package.
  • Payment Flexibility: Many travel providers allow you to pay in installments when booking in advance, making it easier to manage your vacation budget over time.

Last-Minute Deals

While last-minute deals can be tempting, they may not always be the best option for a 14-day all-inclusive vacation in Cancun:

  • Limited Availability: Finding availability for a 14-day stay at a desirable resort on your preferred travel dates can be challenging with last-minute bookings. You may need to compromise on your accommodations or travel dates.
  • Higher Prices: Contrary to popular belief, last-minute deals for extended vacations are not always cheaper. Airlines and resorts aim to sell their inventory well in advance and may not offer significant discounts for last-minute bookings.
  • Stress and Uncertainty: Waiting until the last minute to book your vacation can be stressful and leave you with limited options. You may also miss out on promotional offers or early bird discounts.

Recommendation

For a 14-day all-inclusive vacation in Cancun with Sunwing in February 2018, it is generally recommended to book in advance. The benefits of better availability, lower prices, and payment flexibility typically outweigh the potential for last-minute deals, which may be limited or not as advantageous for an extended stay.

However, it's always a good idea to monitor prices and promotions from various travel providers, as deals can occasionally arise closer to your travel dates. Flexibility and being open to different resort options or travel dates can increase your chances of finding a last-minute bargain.

Ultimately, the decision to book in advance or wait for last-minute deals depends on your personal preferences, budget, and travel flexibility. Regardless of when you book, an all-inclusive vacation in Cancun promises a memorable and relaxing getaway.
