I've not had a problem with sunwing or air transat. Reviews are usually bad, people rarely enter good ones.

You have essentially 4 options. sunwing, air transat, air canada vacations or westjet vacations. Pick the cheapest. Ignore the reviews.

Barriere! I have family up there
. I was not particularly impressed with sunwing when I booked a group for a wedding. They are very particular with carry ons. Flight delays. Wouldn't seat us all together . . . They even split couples that booked together up. Even expedia has group discounts.

I'd recommend air transat. They did a great job organizing a large trip to Mexico for my family.

I recommend going down a little further south. So much nicer than cancun.

sunwing apparently changed their flight times last spring break, last minute. Some people didn't get the revisions and missed the plane . They not only didn't get reimbursed the money , they didn't fly anywhere . Nothing was done . According to sunwing it's all in the fine print ....
Saw a lot of crying moms and teenagers last year at the airport at spring break, felt terrible for them. I would choose anyone BUT sunwing!

I helped a friend recently book in Cancun area - We went to Google and dropped my little yellow friend on the blue path on different hotels to check them out when they found one they liked they did internet search for it and all the carriers that can book their came up. They picked the carrier they liked. Done ( make sure your transfers are included if not I have a number for 1 I have used)

Planning a Family Vacation in Cancun

Cancun, a vibrant coastal city in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, is a popular destination for family vacations, especially during Spring Break. With its stunning beaches, tropical climate, and a wide range of activities and attractions, it's no wonder many families choose to spend their holidays here. However, with the poor reviews of Sunwing Vacations, it's essential to explore alternative options that can provide a memorable and hassle-free experience for your group of ten.

Alternative Recommendations

  1. All-Inclusive Resorts

    All-inclusive resorts are a popular choice for large families or groups traveling together. They offer convenience, value for money, and a wide range of amenities and activities for all ages. Some reputable all-inclusive resorts in Cancun include the Paradisus Cancun, Hyatt Ziva Cancun, and Secrets The Vine Cancun Resort & Spa.

  2. Vacation Rental Homes

    Renting a large vacation home or villa can be an excellent option for a group of ten. It offers more space, privacy, and the ability to cook your own meals, which can be cost-effective for a large group. Popular vacation rental sites like Vrbo and Airbnb have a wide selection of properties in Cancun.

  3. Tailor-Made Group Packages

    Consider working with a reputable travel agency or tour operator that specializes in creating tailor-made group packages. They can help you plan and book accommodations, activities, transportation, and other services based on your specific needs and preferences.

Tips for Planning a Successful Family Vacation in Cancun

  • Book early to get the best deals and secure desired accommodations.
  • Research and read reviews of hotels, resorts, or rental properties before booking.
  • Plan a balanced itinerary with a mix of relaxation and activities suitable for all ages.
  • Consider purchasing travel insurance for added protection and peace of mind.
  • Stay safe by following local guidelines and being aware of your surroundings.

By exploring alternative options and planning ahead, you can create a memorable and enjoyable family vacation in Cancun for your group of ten. Enjoy the beautiful beaches, rich culture, and exciting adventures that this destination has to offer!
