    Yeah Alpharooms is legit - there are quite a few threads about them and people book with them all the time.

    They are UK based, hotel prices in the UK are cheaper than those in North America.

    The only problem some have found is their credit card being declined due to their bank suspecting possible fraudulent activity (card being used online for a charge in a foreign country). Give your credit card company a call first and things should be fine.

    Also bear in mind the time difference for customer support etc, the UK is 6 hrs ahead of CST so if you need to call it's best to call early morning your time.

    Do a quick search on "Alpharooms" you'll find lots of threads come up with other peoples experiences.

    Finally, please use the link from cancuncare to book - price is the same but I get paid a small referral fee if you use my link.

    Big price differance

    Here is a quick price check I did - April 30 - May 7, this is for the same room also...

    Alpharooms (Hotel Only)
    $875 - 2 people

    Bookit.com (Hotel Only)
    $1826 - 2 people

    Bookit.com (Hotel & Flight)
    $1156 per person (based on 2 people)

    Bookit.com (Flight Only)
    Continental - $468+ taxes per person

    So I would have to say to book seperate. For 2 people your looking at $1811+ taxes. Booked together online at Bookit would have been $2312 or a $500 differance.

    Not bad!
