First of all based on many e-mails I have received I want to comment that our area of Mexico, that is the SOUTHEAST MEXICO including all of the Yucatan Peninsula was not affected by Hurricane Alex. We have toured the beaches from Bacalar to Cancun and there is NO DAMAGE from the passing of Hurricane Alex or remnants of him before or after development.

Current Conditions:  Although the famous Weather Channel reports RAIN everyday it is not the case but of course this time of year you can expect because of the tropical waves and warm sea surface temperatures isolated afternoon or evening showers or thundershowers.   [Read more…] about Hurricane Alex and Cancun

July 18, 2013 by admin Leave a Comment

Cancun is a truly well-liked holiday desination for every age. Most would outline traveling off-peak as ‘traveling outside rush-hours to avoid overcrowding in public way of transport.’ This sounds all too straightforward and as we’d expect – simpler to say than to do. By traveling off-peak, not merely will you get less expensive flights and accommodations.

And do you know that traveling off-peak means traveling during vacations ( not before or after ) when airfares are lower and there’s less road traffic? Best Times To Go For both air and automobile travel, keep clear of the hordes by traveling in the week, particularly from Tues. thru Thursday. An additional bonus is that airfares for travel Tues. thru Thursday are typically cheaper.

Mid-morning and late afternoon flights have a tendency to be less crowded, and you can truly avoid commute traffic in this time. This site also offers the load on late night flights ( a. K. A red-eye flights for unequivocal reasons ) : these flights will help you avoid traffic but it is only effective if you can sleep sitting up-right on an aircraft! Some of the cheapest Cancun travel deals of the year can be discovered in the autumn. Should you chance to find nonresistable super offer during off-peak dates that fall between major vacations, do not waste time. Book instantly with your discount trip booker. Never hesitate! Traveling off-peak to Cancun in the Northern US winter months instead of during summer is highly regarded. You could say what is the point in going to Mexico in winter when you are going there to absorb the beaches? But the reality is, there’s barely anything such as winter in the Mexico as it stays warm the majority of the year.

Actually it is not a brilliant idea to fly there in the top season ( I.e, summer months ) as this is the period when the hurricanes often come. It can also help to sign up to online newsletters of discount air trip bookers like Travelocity or Expedia. By having yourself included in these corporations ‘ mail list, you can get your paws on off-peak travel promotions quicker than people who did not. So you see, it’s not only the air miles! Eventually, book your flight early to secure the greatest number of gains from traveling off-peak. One year’s planning can definitely help you harvest the reward of the least expensive airfares possible! From the other standpoint, booking last minute can also have its rewards.

If you are the kind who can leave at a minute’s notice, you are able to save a lot from last-minute flights and accommodations. In fact, most airlines and hostels would prefer to seriously discount their places and rooms than leave them empty!
