I'm in my 30s and have stayed in an all-inclusive in Cabo, a vacation rental in Playa del Carmen and an Airbnb recently near Puerto Vallarta. While I can appreciate the desire to want to just lay by a pool and be served all day while on vacation, I wouldn't want to do that for more than a few days, especially not consecutively. For that plus the isolation factor, bland food and, typically, poor quality hard alcohol, I wouldn't book more than a few consecutive nights at an all-inclusive, if at all. All-inclusives seem best for families and less adventurous types. If you have any desire to venture out but also want the ease of an all-inclusive while not paying for extra services you don't need/want, I'd spend the first 2-3 nights at an AI, and then maybe the rest at, still a nice hotel, but with more local flair that will allow you to venture out more easily and experience more local cuisine and perhaps be more accessible to more reasonably-priced activities than what an AI concierge might offer. As a side note, if you're looking to rent a place while on vacation, I wouldn't use Airbnb again - it's not quite vacation-y enough. VRBO was great and seemed to have better options for folks looking for a more relaxed, yet authentic and somewhat pampered vacation experience.

Nice video. Haven't actually been on a all inclusive vacation before but we do cruise every year. Just this past march we were on a excursion in Aruba and fell in love with this DePalm area and how guests could go there all day. It was amazing but we were only there for like 7 hours. I want to go back but this time go to an aruba all inclusive, stay a few days to scuba 3 times, visit DePalm, and then go back. Thanks for the great comments. I wasn't sure what to fully expect.

You are going to the wrong all-inclusive resort. Try Sandals many locations. Adult only, great beaches great and varied food, top shelf alcohol for the asking, lots of optional (charged) off-resort tours you can book at the resort, free hobie cats, kayaks, snorkling, free scuba if or after you are certified (they can train you - extra charge, most are English speaking countries, and most locations are reasonably safe off-resort unlike Mexico.

I just stayed at the Excellence playa Majures in Sept, and it's so nice, the staff is amazing. You can eat and. Drink all day and night. They have a lobster house that's so good makes my mouth water just thinking about it. Great live entertainment. Great drinks. Oh how I miss that place. They definitely earned that #1 spot. They're the best! Treated us like royalty!

Totally disagree on the food. All inclusives have some of the. best food in the world. Not bland at all. Also I dont care about the local culture. If I want local culture I'll choose an excursion to go on. Also never have I had watered down alcohol. ever. It is always sensational.

Hi!
I was wondering if they usually offer life jackets, floaties and other water safety stuff for the little kids? Or should we bring our own?
Thank you, we have enjoyed your videos prior our first visit to an all inclusive in Cancun.

If you have kids or a family then all inclusive is amazing as you don't have to worry. If your going self catering then you have to pay for everything and if you run out of money then you are stuck

Another disadvantage is that you need to forfeit a meal if you venture out into town to do something on your own for the day. You may not want to forfeit the value that youve already paid for.
