    Hey guys! So we booked Avalon grand for now but we emailed the people at salvia condos and they responded saying a room was open. However the price seems too good to be true. Staying there for 7 nights for roughly 1400 for 8 people seems suspicious to me for the location and space. On top of that there is a sketchy looking payment form. Has anyone booked through this method and can anyone give me a legitimate email? There is multiple sites for salvia condos as well and we are not sure which one is the real one.

    Please help! Spring break is in 3 weeks and we really want to stay at salvia over Avalon

    I stayed at the Avalon and loved it! But, I also partied at the salvia and that place was pretty fun too! I have noticed there are several places online you can book for the salvia. Most are likely legit, but depends. Are they asking for ALL of the money up front? Or just a deposit? What is the site you are trying to book from?

    thanks for responding! we emailed them through one of the two sites because other sites like expedia claims its full. they sent us a payment form through email and they are asking for the deposit and then paying the rest when we arrive. has anyone who has stayed at salvia gone through this process?

    there are two sites Cancun, Mexico Beach Front Condos and Salvia Cancun Beach Hotel and Condominiums - Budget Condo - Cancun hotels - economic - The cheapest hotel in cancun
    not sure which of those are legitimate.

    just not used to this type of booking. used to booking hotels and stuff through sites like expedia. please help!

    I know several people who have booked through SalviaCondos.com and had a wonderful time. I almost booked through them once myself but decided to stay at the Oasis instea. My friends had nothing but good things to say about them and the condo. I would feel comfortable booking with them! Just my 2 cents worth. Let us know how it works out.
