  • Yes, you can make your own reservation for flights.  Sarah will collect your flight information closer to travel so she can set up your ground transportation.

 

Can I get help with flights?

  • Yes, Sarah can help you with flight reservations with major carriers if you wish.  She cannot book with online discount carriers like Spirit, Frontier, Southwest. etc.  Those must be booked by the guest direct on their website.

 

How do I get to the resort?

  • Round trip shared-group ground airport/hotel transportation in the destination is included in your rates. You must supply your air itinerary for transportation to be confirmed.

 

How long is the drive to the resort?

  • The resort is located about 15-30 minutes from the airport.

 

Do I need travel insurance?

  • Krafty Travel strongly recommends the purchase of travel insurance to protect yourself and your investment.

  • Every reservation will receive a quote for travel insurance, but the purchase is optional.

  • The insurance provides options for pretravel cancelation, during travel issues like lost bags or missed connections, and medical coverage while you are traveling.

  • The insurance cost is based on your trip costs and age at time of travel.

  • You will want to add insurance within the first 21 days of your trip deposit for the best insurance benefits.

 

What is the room set up?

  • Bedding requests are sent to the resort and are determined by the resort based on availability at check-in.  Sarah will request one or two beds per room based on your reservation request.

 

Can I have my own room?

  • Yes.  We are alotted a small amount of single occupancy rooms, upon request.  Because the resort is all inclusive and anticipates two people per room, the single occupant rate is approximately 60% more than the double occupancy per person rate.

 

Can I have more than 2 people in a room?

  • Yes, depending on the room category.  There are a small amount of triple occupancy rooms, upon request.   The triple occupancy per person rate is only slighly less than the double occupancy rate per person.

 

Will you assign me a roomate?

  • Sorry, no.  We do not assign roomates.  Please know who your roomate is at the time of reservation.

 

If I make the reservation, do I have to pay for my roomate?

  • No, you do not have to pay for your roomate.  You may add additional forms of payment on the reservation request.  

 

What if my roomate is not staying the same dates as me?

  • This will require separate reservation and pricing for the dates you are together and/or alone.  Double occupancy rates and booked separately from triple or single rates and each night that is different would require a separate reservation.

 

Can I just make the reservation and someone show up?

  • Because this is an all inclusive resort, each traveler must be a registered guest, booked, paid for and included in the group guest list upon arrival.

 

Are there COVID restrictions or vaccine requirements for travel to Mexico?

  • There are currently no COVID restrictions or vaccination requirements for entry to Mexico related to COVID.

    As US citizens, we currently do still need to present a negative COVID test to return home, taken one day before return departure.  The testing at this time is still offered on site at the resorts by third party clinicians.

    This is subject to change as the COVID situation changes.
