re: Opinions on good travel agents in BR that really know the general Cancun area?

It's free to use a travel agent and sometimes they can get you better deals than you could get on your own. Also great if going to a country you aren't familiar with....they can have everything all planned out if you wish and usually have extensive knowledge of the area.

Thank you. Its amazing how many people on the OT spew the same crap about how travel agents and real estate agents are worthless these days.

Seriously. People act like a travel agent brings nothing to the table

OP, I would go to Playa del Carmen instead of Cancun if I were you. I just got back 3 weeks ago. We stayed 2 nights at the Marriott Casa Magna in Cancun which was really nice if you want a recommendation, but the 3 nights in Playa were better.

Thank you. We've looked at a few places in Playa del Carmen. Where did yall stay in Playa?

Julie @ travel experts. Stayed at the Royal in Playa del Carmen off 5th ave twice. Travel agent was worth it when traveling with a group.

Thanks I'll give her a call. We will be with about 5 other couples so I guess we are in the same situation.


Just to clarify for everyone. We dont have to be in actual Cancun. Just that general area. Theres just so many towns in that general Cancun area that I figured itd be easier to find people that have stayed in/around Cancun than naming one or two particular towns. The resort we are staying at first is actually in Puerto Morelos.
