Seems that Selloffvacations and sunwing offer the same discounts (compared head to head for 24 hour discount and they are the same)...there are still decent discounts if you can wait 24-48 hours before--which I am willing to do but might not be viable for those with families or who are not flexible.

Thanks to everyone for the help...seems the market has changed in the last 20 years...aggregators have certainly made cheap rates more accessible to the common man.

Definitely a shitty experience and that's why I always avoid these guys too. I "re-confirm" my flights to leave asap and spend as little time dealing with them as possible. The extra cost for activities through them is for insurance though. The beach guys aren't licensed or insured, so if anything happens to you..well lol. I don't personally care for things like insurance in these situations, but I guess it depends on your personal comfort level with risk.

Actually, its one of the first accurate things to come out of you in a while. I experienced the same BS with sunwing and had the same gem of a dude on the beach. We were on our honeymoon for a couple of weeks and wanted to do a few things (Xel ha, Temple tour, Jet Skis, ATV tour, Ceynote exploration), priced at the resort for for us two was $1,300. The guy at the beach for the EXACT same tour, plus a bag of crappy weed was $450. He didn't offer that right away, had to work him down, but he gave me beer while we negotiated. Never buy on the resort, its a huge scam.

Oh i don't know... trip and fall on those hard floors in the rooms and end up with a broken elbow and a $15,000 USD surgery in mexico because it wasn't safe to fly with it broken?

Happened to my mom last year. The insurance company saw the scans and agreed with the doctor that a free bone fragment under air pressure could travel and cause further damage internally. So she went to a hospital that was only for tourists in Cancun (beautiful hospital - only 8 out of the 50 rooms were used).
