Bachelorette party help

Is it possible for you to chip in for the price of the resort and have the other BM's pay you back when they can? Or could you switch to an Airbnb now? Or is it too late to cancel?

Can you cancel without penalty? If so, that’s what I would do.

I would speak with whoever is planning it and see what the cancellation policy as you are not comfortable going to a place so expensive

View Quoted Comment I think the deposit they paid already is non-refundable. But if we were to cancel and just leave that money on the table and book the Airbnb, I think they would still end up paying a lot less. They also refused to let me pay my portion of the resort so brings their cost up even more. I’d hate to have someone beyond their means when there’s another option. Trip isn’t until November so I believe there’s still time to cancel

View Quoted Comment I’m really sorry you’re in this position, your bachelorette party should just be a fun experience and it’s awful that it’s turned into a stressful thing for you and your BM’s I do think you may need to cancel and reschedule at a less expensive place. I’m sure your right that the lost deposit and the Airbnb would be cheaper than an all-inclusive resort. It’s better to lose the deposit and have all your friends with you then have people dropping out because the cost is too burdensome.

Wow that sucks. which one of your bridesmaids planned this - was she aware of everyone's financial situation before booking this? you should check the cancellation policy ASAP but sadly these kinds of all inclusive trips are rarely refundable your bach should be fun and amazing, not stressful. if they cannot afford it you should insist to pay for your stay at least. on the other hand all inclusive resorts at Cancun are so fun!!!! I really hope your bridesmaids can figure this all out and soon! good luck girl

This is your bridesmaids' error, not yours. Have them cancel the reservation even if they lose their deposit. They really should have honored your wishes in the first place!

View Quoted Comment Update, a girl backed out and they have to find someone to fill their spot so their group rate doesn’t increase or change one of the room sizes and increase the rate anyway. I brought up the Airbnb option again and they still won’t listen. Keep talking about the safety. Plenty of people stay in Airbnb’s with no problem and they’re on resort properties! They’ve paid $129 so far in a deposit and some paid an additional $100 for travel insurance and still owe $450. An Airbnb would save everyone hundreds of dollars and no worries about room changes. I wish I could have been involved in the travel planning portion of the trip
