Pro Tip

Expert Pro Tip: The "Early Deposit" Hack
Here is my best advice after a decade in the industry: Don't wait for the "January Sales." The data shows everyone is now searching for 2026 dates early. Because of this, the best "Low Deposit" deals (sometimes as low as €50 per person) are being snapped up now. By booking early, you aren't just getting a better price; you are getting the best rooms in the best hotels. Once those are gone, you're left with the "leftovers" at a higher price.
NB: “Book the deposit now to freeze the price, and pay the rest off in bits. It’s the cheapest way to fly!”

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to visit Cancun?

The best time for a holiday to Cancun from Dublin is typically between December and April when the weather is perfectly pleasant and dry. However, if you are looking for late summer Cancun holiday deals, September is incredibly popular for budget-conscious jetsetters. (Wondering what is the weather like in Cancun in September? It is warm and tropical, though it falls within the rainier season, which often means better prices!)

How long is the flight from Dublin to Cancun?

Flights for holidays to Cancun from Dublin generally take around 10 to 11 hours if flying direct, though many cheap Cancun holidays from Ireland include a short layover, which can extend the travel time slightly.

Is Cancun a good family holiday destination?

Absolutely! If you are wondering is Cancun safe for family holidays, the answer is yes, especially in the main tourist areas. It is one of the best low cost family holidays Mexico offers, packed with safe, family friendly all inclusive Cancun resorts. (Also, if you are wondering do you need a visa for Mexico from Ireland, Irish citizens generally do not need a visa for tourist visits, just a completed tourist card!).

Excellent service when needing to cancel.

100% refund and great customer service
I had a trip to Cancun booked for the end of August. Unfortunately, with all that’s going on with Covid19 I had to cancel. After hearing horror stories from other travel agents, I was worried about the cancelation process. I had no need to be. I dealt with Elaine during my correspondence who was very helpful and within 3 weeks of cancelling I had received a 100% refund back into my bank account. While I could not travel with Budget Travel this year, this experience has made sure I will return to them when I go to book a holiday in the future.
