2009 to 2010 Price Increase

[marak]

I emailed the Occidental Grand Xcaret for info about their resort and package pricing. They sent me the attached list from 2009 and advised there will be a 15% increase to those prices for 2010. I will say I am not super familiar with this as I have just started getting price quotes from resorts, but does 15% seem like a rather large increase? Is that the norm from year to year?

When I was looking to book my resort (Excellence Playa Mujeres) the prices DOUBLED from 2009 to 2010. I almost fell off my chair. I wanted to be able to give everyone time to plan the trip..but there was no way i was going to pay that increase..so I booked it for December of this year..unfortuntely for me, I wont have many guests attending, but at the end of the day my and FI are the only ones that really need to be there

Anyway good luck with whatever you decide.

The H1N1 (swine) flu virus slammed their economy pretty hard. When I was there in May, many people lost their jobs and business was slower than usual.
