Some of our frequently asked questions.
Q.Do I need a Passport?
New U.S. Passport Requirements for Travelers to and from the Caribbean,
Bermuda, Panama, Mexico & Canada:
The Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 requires that by
January 23, 2007, all travelers to and from the Caribbean, Bermuda, Panama,
Mexico and Canada have a passport to enter or re-enter the United States. This
is a change from prior travel requirements and will affect all United States
citizens entering the United States from countries within the Western

required for U.S. citizens traveling to U.S.V.I or Puerto Rico.
For complete information about obtaining or renewing a passport in order to
meet the new requirement, we recommend that you visit

Q. So what does a Sunsationtours vacation package include ?
Our package vacations are selections of prearranged vacation that we’ve assembled that provide the best value for money. Some travel packages include basic travel services, such as transportation or accommodations, while others include a complete travel plan, such as meals, sightseeing tours and airport transfers.
Q. So how's the Hotel?
No question about it, accommodations play a key role in the success of a trip. Many travelers say the most important one. You should pay close attention to the descriptions and of the hotels featured.
Keep in mind that hotel ratings in other countries may not always reflect American standards, and that every country has its own hotel rating system. In other words, a "deluxe" hotel in one country could differ in size, amenities and degree of luxury from a similarly rated hotel in another country.
Also be aware of location of the hotels. Hotels situated just outside the center of a city shouldn't be inconvenient if you'll be sightseeing by tour bus or if you have a rental car. On the other hand, if you are planning just a quick getaway to destinations you'll be visiting, you may prefer hotels that are centrally located.
Q. Why wouldn't I do it all myself?
By purchasing an Sunsations travel package you have the advantage of convenience and, in most cases, the best value. Purchasing a package vacation also means peace of mind. Since you pre-pay for your trip, you know what the cost will be in advance and can budget for your vacation with greater certainty. Our vacation packages offer many important benefits. Key among these is savings. By contracting in bulk for hotels, accommodations, ground transportation, sightseeing tours, meals and other services, we achieve substantial economies. The resulting savings from this volume purchasing are passed on to the traveler. You'll also have the additional assurance that your vacation has been planned by professionals
Q. What is per person, double occupancy?
Means that the price is per person; based on two people sharing the room. Ask about rates for singles, triples, quadruples and families with children.
Q. I want to go Cancun for longer/shorter than a week?

Q. What does all inclusive actually mean?
“While there is no standard industry definition for the term "all-inclusive". Some hotels include a large variety of sports and entertainment, whereas others are limited. Most all-inclusive hotels, however, will include 3 meals daily, all or most drinks, some sporting equipment and entertainment. Please refer to the specific package description or each resort description for more information.”
