    This is always an interesting topic. We did GP first week of dec. the last two years in a row, and paid almost the exact same price both times. There was one price about $500 cheaper that I missed earlier because we were still undecided.

    The interesting part is all I read about all year on the GP Facebook page was how people had stop going there because the prices have got so high.

    Maybe I just paid too much each time, and don't know the difference, but I don't think that is the case.

    Paid a little over $2000 for flight, transfer, and hotel for 5 nights, for two people, from the Midwest.

    We booked a month ago for May...got a good package deal on Orbitz. Nonstop flights for 10 days...$1200 each...air and resort out of Minneapolis. I paid that for crummy flights in 2006 for 7 days, so for us, prices have fallen every year.

    For us Expedia and Orbitz packages always beat anything else we can find. Booking flights separately always comes out higher even with Alpharooms good room prices. I suppose it's all in where you live, so what works for us may not be your best deals...you just need to spend some time and be as flexible as possible. I'll normally check three airports, several days of the week to fly on and a few different date ranges.

    We got $1450/person for 12 days ......jan 16-27 out of Louisville ky. But if u price the same trip in February, it goes up to 2200/person. So play with the dates from your area and you may find it much cheaper.

    Ours was cheaper than the past 2 years.. out of Minneapolis theres a lot of flight options to Cancun so the prices always seem to be lower than most places

    We just booked arriving April 13 and leaving the 20th thru Orbitz. We paid $1864.26 for the package (direct flights from denver and 7 nights lodging). This was cheaper than last year. Shop around and look for coupons or discounts. Prices change sometimes hourly.

    That's what I found too. Orbitz had the best prices, and their package deal was better than separating.

    The one thing I screwed up in our first trip is that I found out that a five night stay was the same price as a four night stay. Probably had to do with airline rates. It was too much to change it two years ago, but made sure we booked the five days the second time.
