try booking right through funjet. They are the most hassle free.

If you're flying out of atlanta try vacationexpress.com

They have tons of stuff to cancun and beyond

We booked our last trip through funjet. Not sure I'd used them again. The packages were great & website easy to use. Our actual stay was excellent, but were kind of annoyed with their lack of communication on our outbound flight change. The flight was cancelled and left a message about the new flight, but NO phone # was left to contact funjet. It was stressful to not be able to speak to anyone & since it was a chartered flight the airline was no help.

A LOT of people had been waiting at the airport for SEVERAL hours because they weren't given sufficent notice of the flight cancellation. We were given $50 per person funjet vouchers, but in my opinion, that doesn't make up for basically losing a day of vacation.

Like I said, it was a good trip. That was my only complaint.

Anyone have any experience with GoGo Tours?

Used Go Go once. all went easily. However the last 4 yrs. we have gotten the best deals with Costco. This is a warehouse club like Sams and yes they do offer travel. For example the package we got for the Big island later this yr. was cheaper that anything else anywhere on the WWW and it INCLUDED breakfast AND a car whereas the others did not. And breakfast at this resort is $27.00 for the buffet!

Thanks for the info, Jacketwatch. I am a Costco member but never looked into their travel packages. Now I will.

We used GoGo last year to Punta Cana and had no problems. We'll look into Costco too the next time. Thanks for the info.

When we went to Cancun, I tried Costco and Gogo Tours, but found I still got a better deal by booking things myself. I booked our flight on expedia, and our hotel directly through the Hotel website (Marriott). I figured I saved about $300 over Costco's price, and also got a more direct flight. So I guess it pays to do lots of legwork! It's fun, too!
