Travel companies have jumped on the Cyber Monday bandwagon, offering discounts—some as much as 40% off—on resorts, city hotels, adventure tours, and more. The online sales day, popular for bargains on clothing, gadgets, and big screen televisions, now offers savvy planners a chance to wrap themselves and their families in a great vacation at a good price, (a more memorable gift than a comfy sweater). Here are some deals to consider. Note: Some discounts disappear by December 1, so, if interested, don’t delay booking.

To its roster of engaging activities, Club Med Punta Cana adds Creactive by Cirque du Soleil, a playscape where children and adults learn circus skills such as flying on a trapeze, tightrope walking, trampoline jumping, clowning, and more. Happily exhausted, you can zone out at the resort’s new Zen Oasis, an adults-only area with a pool, palapa for yoga lessons, and 78 guest rooms.
The property at Punta Cana is one of eight Club Med resorts offering Cyber Monday deals. All Club Meds include lodging, meals and most activities in the room rate. Depending on the destination, enjoy windsurfing, waterskiing, sailing, playing golf or tennis and of course, sunning and swimming. Some properties such as Turks & Caicos target couples and singles, but many of the others feature supervised children’s programs.
