Things have been really stressful here and the kids and I really need to get away if at all possible. I was happily shocked to find that there are still some doable package trips for the earlier part of their winter break. We are in Oregon and Cancun seems l like one of the most doable. Also considered Costa Rica, other parts of Mexico, and warm parts of California..and still open to all of that; anything warm and relaxing, really. I have never been on a resort-type vacation, but it is what we need right now (for anyone who followed my threads about considering moving to Costa Rica, this trip would not be about that).
I tried to figure things out without posting on the BBB, but I need any wisdom/experience you all have, as its just not my way to spend so much money so quickly. I am doing all the other research, reading reviews, etc...here is what I would love to know. Will the Cancun beaches/hotel grounds be absolutely swamped with people (I know airports, etc, will)? Any place that wouldn't. Is the Sargassum advisory posted on some websites something that would have a big negative impact? For most of these packages it looks like the hotels are secluded, which we dont prefer, but there are some limited pickings right now (and I dont want to drive). Is all-inclusive the way to go? My ds especially really eats a lot. Any place people can particularly recommend or not as far as both destinations and hotels/resorts? I am mostly looking at Costco and Expedia and finding a decent flight seems to be the trickier part right now.
Thanks!
