We have gotten a good price with them for Playacar Palace in Playa del Carmen. Any one have experience with this company? Any problems. Always hesitant booking online without talking to a person, but the person I happened to get sounded a little confused!

Just be aware that if you book with Cheap Tickets, they don't forward your information to the hotel until 2-3 days before you arrive. They don't explain this when you are signing up for the hotel with them. Yep--they make you pay in full and you can't get a confirmation from the hotel ahead of time. The hotel apparently has a spot reserved, but they don't get your name until you're about to arrive--my worry is that without my name, they (the hotel) may bump my spot for someone who is willing to pay more $ for the same room. Also, I spent a lot of $ calling Mexico trying to make sure that I had a reservation because Cheap Tickets advises you to do that. Then I called Cheap Tickets to find out what was going on because the hotel didn't know who I was. Finally asked for a Cheap Tickets Supervisor. She volunteered to call the hotel in Mexico while she had me on the line and she gave me a confirmation code. Then, I finally got a confirmation email directly from the hotel.
