Breathless Cancun Soul

Answer explanation

Travel is an experience. You will use all 5 of your senses every day. People have a vision of what they want to see, hear or feel while on vacation. As a travel agent, I must understand what each individual client wants and never assume two trips are the same. Each of these resorts are amazing but one definitely fits better than the others.

If you want to avoid Sargassum season in Mexico, when should you travel?

Back

January

Answer explanation

Traditionally Sargassum season is from April to October; however, we are starting to see it earlier and earlier. The weather patterns and storms can make the beach beautiful one day and not the next. If a beautiful beach and turquoise waters are important to a client, I will suggest different times of the year or even destinations that are less likely to be affected.
