How to get a cheap hotel in Cancun

Compare the same room on more than one site. Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com and Agoda often show different prices for the same hotel in Cancun.
Stay Sunday to Thursday if you can. In most cities weekend nights cost more, while business hotels drop their prices on weekends.
Pick a free cancellation rate, then check again a week or two before your trip. If the price drops, book again and cancel the first one.
Look one neighborhood out. Hotels a short train or bus ride from the center of Cancun are usually cheaper than those next to the main sights.
Check the total with taxes and fees. Resort fees, city taxes and parking can add a lot, so compare final prices, not nightly rates.
