Where should I stay in the Cancun, Mexico area?
My boyfriend and I are currently planning a vacation to Mexico and are undecided on where to stay. We would like to stay at an all-inlclusive resort the Cancun or Playa Del Carmen area. As far as the price is concerned were not too worried about that and would like to stay somewhere very nice with a lot of entertainment ie. at the pool & nightlife. I have been looking on trip advisor and pretty much everywhere has mixed reviews. Please help!!! thank you!
Well, I would *NEVER* recommend an all-inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen. There is quite simply far too much to do OFF the resort property and far too many excellent, very affordable restaurants and clubs throughout the area. Most people I know who stay in Playa del Carmen don’t spend all day every day in their resort property (which is the only way that all-inclusive makes financial sense). Besides, most all-inclusive properties have poor food quality and have watered down drinks made with cheap no-name brand liquors.
Along the Riviera Maya, the all-inclusive makes a bit more sense because the resort locations are so inconvenient that they discourage frequent exploration and off-site adventures. I don’t like any of these properties either, but for entirely different reasons.
In Cancun, things are compact enough with good, cheap bus transit along the hotel zone, so coming back to the hotel for meals isn’t a major headache….and if you get a good price on all-inclusive, it MIGHT make sense (but it still discourages local exploration, so if you’re truly a TRAVELER and not a VACATIONER, then it might make sense to go for the predictable, up-front food costs).
Keep in mind though that *ALL* all-inclusive hotels have lower quality food and drink than what you’d find on your own at mainstream hotels and restaurants. This is simply an indisputable fact, despite the number of country bumpkins raving about the “fabulous spreads” or the “all you can eat” pigout factor. No person who really understands and values quality will ever be happy with all-inclusive. The quality gaps are simply too wide (even at “the best” AI properties).
