All Inclusive Package: Mayan Rivieria - 7 nights - $532/person after taxes
9
September
Yes, that's $532/person after all taxes/fees for flight, hotel, food, drinks, everything.
And it's not to a dumpy resort, it's to a property that gets great reviews on TripAdvisor, the Catalonia Yucatan.
Here's how:
2. Click on Leaving from 'Edmonton' and Going to Mexico.
For the date, choose Leaving on September, week of....
12 to 18
19 to 25
26 to 2
For reference, the date that's furthest away with the cheap price seems to be leaving September 30.
Update: It looks like the October 21 departure is also cheap.

^^ Price after verifying 2 adults, comes to $1075.36 after all taxes/fees.
To give an idea of how ridiculous that price is, the cheapest flights to Cancun in September are around $424 roundtrip after taxes (Westjet). So you're essentially paying $15/day per person for an awesome beach resort, unlimited food, and unlimited drinks. Crazy.
But you should also know that September is the statistical peak of hurricane season down south. Here's a chart from the NOAA showing the odds of a hurricane by month...
For this reason, September is one of the cheapest times of year to find all inclusive packages down south. However, this is still an insane price, even for September.
