Looking at a resort in Cancun for this october. Do they go up and down like flights, or are they more stable and tied to the season/demand?
I swear I just checked a hotel again and it was $40 higher per night than when I checked a few days ago... this was on 'bookit.com' which I've never heard of. I'm looking at calendar, and the first week of october has the lower prices, but now the week we're going, the second week is higher.. makes me think they are using cookies and raising since I didn't buy? Why would second week of october be a higher demand than first week?
I have always been one to book directly with website (marriott.com, united.com, etc) but this particular resort (and most it seems for cancun) has much higher prices directly on hotel website compared to trip advisor, priceline, etc. Like more than twice as much. Even costco has this hotel and it is priced more in line with hotel website
Any thoughts on that? Are these third party sites actually getting good deals? I can pick the room and everything (ocean front, ocean view, resort view, etc) so that isn't an unknown.
