A Cancun Resort
All inclusive options are becoming increasingly popular in Mexico, with several resorts in Los Cabos and Cancun providing packages that are not only attractive but highly affordable. And if you’re like me, you’re probably thinking if you should go with the all-inclusive resorts, or hop around for variety. Here are things to consider before making up your mind.
Are you a “variety is the spice of life” kind of traveler? If you are, then skip the all-inclusive resorts option for a more “a la carte” hotel (or hotels, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous). This strategy will work if you’re jumping around from city to city, and want to try new hotel chains or adventures.
Are you a real foodie? If you’re a foodie, you may want to try various chefs’ cooking, so all-inclusives may or may not make sense. On one hand, there is no better way than experiencing foodie heaven than getting to know a particular chef’s (or resort’s cooking) unless you stay there for an extended period of time. Typically, all-inclusives have a great meal package rate and help families save money over a longer period of time, especially if you have several kids.
Hotel Perks: As we previously wrote, Mexico hotels are becoming more and morecreative with their hotel perks. So, if you’re a fan of unlimited long distance telephone calls to the U.S. or healthy Pringles-less mini bars, then you will want to check out independent hotels instead of a mass all-inclusive facility, which is less likely to offer them.
Prepayment and peace of mind: All inclusive packages typically have to be prepaid, but despite the heavy lump sum investment (you may feel poor initially!), there is peace of mind that once you arrive at the resort, everything has been taken care of. You don’t need to carry that much cash with you…and you can eat unlimited. There’s much to be said for that!
