Save Big Soon! These Are 3 Most Affordable Months To Visit Cancun
Last Updated
Is there any destination more sought after by Americans right now than Cancun?
Of course not! It’s the most popular international vacation spot in the world for us…and by a large mark.
Lined with seemingly endless high-end beach resorts along crystal blue waters, it’s easy to see why Cancun has reached unfathomable heights.
Even though it’s extremely popular, don’t hold it against Cancun that airfare can be sky-high. It’s not their fault; airlines know what they’re doing.
Cancun is just too good to pass up!
That being said, a new report from insiders at the Cancun Sun revealed the best times to plan out your next trip and good news is there’s no need to rush to plan out your sargassum-free Cancun vacation.
Cancun Is The Perfect Spot For A Late Summer Getaway
One of the easiest destinations to reach across our borders, Cancun has a plethora of flight options from just about any U.S. airline, plus a handful of Mexican carriers.
Airfare can be pretty pricey in the midst of summer, but not so much toward the end. If you can hold off visiting in July, then August will be one of your best bets for the ultimate savings in paradise.
According to Google Flights, major airports, such as DFW, ORD, and FLL have nonstop flights to Cancun mid-August for less than $250 round-trip.
It’s not just airfare, however. You can score big on resorts too, which is probably what you’re hoping for since Cancun is perhaps the top all-inclusive beach resort destination in the world.
Here is a sample size:
Weekend rates at the ritzy Wyndham Alltra Cancun all-inclusive resort are as low as $284 per night this August.
This same resort costs almost double crossing the $400 threshold in January, a time when many Americans are desperate for a sunny vacation.
Squeeze In A Post-Labor Day Vacation
While rates tend to soar around the holidays, if you push back your celebration you can find great deals in Cancun.
But be aware – the weather can be moody this time of year. You may not get as many sunny photo-ops as you envision, but is there ever really a bad time to vacation in Cancun?
September can be viewed as the end of summer or the beginning of fall, toeing the line between the 2 seasons.
However you slice it, it’s one of the best times of year for vacation savings. For example the beachfront Westin Resort & Spa Cancun can be booked for $93 in September compared to double the rate in December and January.
Likewise for all-inclusive stays, such as Oleo Cancun Playa All Inclusive Boutique Resort as low as $81 in September, but shooting to the high $200’s in January.
It’s Never Too Early To Plan A Trip
It seemed like summer would never get here, but here we are. Travelers are flocking far and wide with Cancun high on many travelers’ wishlists.
While many of us are still putting the finishing touches on summer trips, it’s never too early to plan ahead.
October is a great time to visit Cancun for less crowds – quite the opposite of Spring Break.
The most expensive months to visit are December through March, so why not jump the gun and get in while you can?
Rates drop significantly during the month of October across the board, from boutique hotels to lavish 5-star resorts.
While opting for all-inclusive may seem pricier at the time, think of it this way – the only extras you’ll be spending are souvenirs since food, drinks, and oftentimes transportation is covered.
One of the best deals to book in October is a stay at Fiesta Americana Condesa Cancún All Inclusive for as low as $145 per night.
If you were to stay here later on during the bitterly cold winter for many Americans, rates spike to as much as $493 in January.
How’s that for savings?!
