Things to do in the Riviera Maya
Please note within 60 days of travel you will be provided with the most up-to-date list of tours available via our trusted and insured tour operators at the destination and any planned group activities. For now feel free to visit:
Closest airport to the resort is CANCUN International Airport (CUN)
We recommend booking your flights as early as you can. You may book it via your favorite airline.
Consider using miles or credit card points if you have them. If you would like to book your flight + hotel as a package this can be arranged as well. In the reservation form mark "YES" to the flight question and you will be contacted to verify airline and connection preferences for published rates.
However, there is no guarantee that we have better flight prices than what you may find on your own and we cannot guarantee we are contracted with every airline. There may be instances when we cannot book your air if we do not have a contract with a specific airline, such as Spirit Airlines. We are also not able to use credit card points or miles towards your flight.
Another recommendation for booking flights is www.google.com/flights
You can easily flex your dates to see the change in pricing. You can also go directly to the airline's website from the google page to purchase the flights. It searches all the internet for the best price. I recommend going direct to the airline because they often have the best communication with the customer on flight delays, flight changes. I've heard of clients miss their flights because cheapoair or expedia didn't relay the message of a flight time change.
There really is no "perfect time" to buy flights, that's a myth. It would be like trying to find the perfect time to fill up your gas tank to get the best price on gas. It's constantly changing, based on the occupancy of that particular flight, gas prices for airliners and their own business models. I just start my search on google flights and check back a few times over a 2-3 week period. Once you see a price you are comfortable with purchasing, go ahead and don't look back!! That's my own philosophy. It may fluctuate some but like I said, there is no magic crystal ball out there that's going to tell you the best time to buy. The closest program I've found that can predict the best flights and share them with you is an app called Hopper.
Be protected from the unexpected.
Optional Travel Protection pricing starts at $69 per person. The average cost of your travel protection is about 6-10% of the total trip cost.*
To review coverage and purchase travel protection visit the link below.
You must add insurance within 14 days of booking. Otherwise, the "Cancel For Any Reason" benefit will not apply and the only benefits will be for in-travel issues. Please note that once purchased, travel insurance is nonrefundable.
Should the entire group cancel based on the lead passengers decision the cancellation policies still apply to each individual.
CANCELLATIONS MADE AFTER DEPOSIT IS PAID THAT HAVE NOT PURCHASED INSURANCE WILL INCUR A $200 PER ROOM PENALTY.
CANCELLATIONS MADE AFTER June 2, 2020 THAT HAVE NOT PURCHASED INSURANCE WILL BE subject to 50% charge of the entire stay.
CANCELLATIONS MADE AFTER AUGUST 16, 2020 THAT HAVE NOT PURCHASED INSURANCE WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY 100% of the room.
Cancelled AIR tickets are valid for one year from original ticket issue date (it must be exchanged) The new travel date can NOT be beyond the validity date.
Will I need a passport?
Yes! A passport is needed to fly to and from the U.S. and Mexico. - please take the time now to locate your passport and check the expiration date; make sure it is valid for 6 months after your anticipated return date. Check THIS SITE for more passport info.
I found a cheaper price online, can you match it?
We are confident in our pricing but if you were to find a cheaper “deal” outside of Vagablonde Travel please allow us an opportunity to price match. We would like to do our best to keep family and friends consolidated in the block at the resort for accountability and organization for the staff. To expedite the process, please take a dated screen shot of what you found. It must include the final total price (with all taxes and fees), what the price includes (dates and room category), the website you found it on.
Is there a dress code at the resort?
Yes! However, if you would like to never get dressed, you can order room service for every meal but if you would like to go to the restaurants, some of them do have a strict dress code- especially for men. No tank tops for men- must have sleeves! I would also encourage men to bring slacks and closed toe shoes. For breakfast and lunch, swimsuits and cover ups with sandals are fine. Golf pants with a V-Neck are acceptable at most places but the “nicer” restaurant requires men to wear closed toe shoes, slacks, and a collared shirt so be sure to read the resort information packet with dress codes.
