In the spirit of convenience, your Cancun vacation can be planned as a package. Booking this way can be both economical and efficient.

Many resorts offer all-inclusive packages, meaning that your meals and drinks are included in the room rate. A few hotels actually require that you participate, and do not offer a European plan, or a la carte option. All-inclusive can be a convenient choice if you are traveling with a family, as many of the hotels offer discounts for children, and have decent restaurants. It is also a popular and economical deal for the party crowd hotel bars are usually open long hours, and alcoholic beverages can quickly become an expense when purchased individually. On the other hand, an all-inclusive plan will naturally limit your ability and motivation to explore the surprising number of quality restaurants on the hotel strip and downtown. See the hotels profiles on pages 62 to 107 to find out which hotels offer all-inclusive options.
