Best Time to Book An 

All Inclusive Vacation

Hard Rock Cancun

So you have decided to take your family to an all-inclusive resort. Congratulations! You will have a fabulous time bonding and making lots of fantastic memories! But when should you go and how far in advance should you book your vacation? Great questions, let’s take a look at these.

Sandals Whitehouse

As a travel planner, I get calls all the time for family vacations during those famous school holidays! You know, Christmas holiday, Thanksgiving, Spring Break or any week from mid-June through mid-August. These are Peak Weeks! Steer clear!! If you are able to be flexible with your dates then choose dates that aren’t quite as obvious for school-aged children. September, for instance, offers summertime weather and rock bottom prices. Most resorts are recuperating from the busy summer and offer a much friendlier, personal trip. Late October through mid-November also offer fabulous times to hit

the tropical beaches of Mexico, Jamaica and the Dominican. A fairly short window, but decently priced and a great respite from the cold, is early January for about 2 weeks.

advance. I am a planner. I have to work on my family’s vacations for months at a time and would love that same opportunity for yours. Airfare won’t be available until 10 months before but resorts can be booked up to 15+ months in advance. So, if you are working with a travel planner, book that resort, get the perfect room with the best view. Start paying on it and add the air in later when it becomes available and you feel like you are getting the best possible rate. It is again, going to depend on when you are traveling as to when you should add air to your vacation.
