All-inclusive Mexico travel

It takes a lot of the planning and guesswork out of vacationing if you know you'll be eating all meals at the property and can take advantage of numerous resort activities. But some hotels with all-inclusive packages can serve up less than stellar food, skimp on the quality and quantity of liquor, and hide fees for "extras" that aren't revealed until you're checking out. Luckily for you, we've visited hundreds of hotels in Mexico to sample the food, sleep in the beds, and take part in the programs offered to see how they stack up to the competition. Here, check out the 10 best resorts for an All-inclusive Mexico getaway. Our picks provide awesome rates, packages, facilities, and amenities so you get plenty bang for your buck. Much like in the Caribbean, travellers in Mexico often opt for the All-inclusive Mexico experience.

The Royal Hideaway
A member of exclusive hospitality consortium Leading Hotels of the World, and as such is one of the most luxurious properties in the area. It features upscale rooms with high-end amenities, a full-service spa with great treatments, several pools, and the best food around. The all-inclusive rate offers access to all the hotel’s facilities, restaurants, and bars, plus 24-hour room service and non-motorized water sports.

The Grand Velas
Set on over 80 acres of mangroves that meet a postcard-perfect beach of white sand and turquoise waters -- is one of Riviera Maya’s most sophisticated properties. It features 491 top-notch suites spread out in three different buildings (two family-friendly, one adults-only), all with their own stunning pool complexes, gyms, and restaurants. All-inclusive rates include gourmet dining for all three meals, bar service at all pools and the beach, daily restocking of the minibar (including snacks), and access to fitness classes.

The Excellence Playa Mujeres
An adults-only luxury resort offering a nice all-inclusive experience with tons of variety -- multiple dining options, several beautiful pools, a gorgeous spa, and dozens of wonderful activities. The rooms here are large and contemporary, with spacious modern bathrooms, whirlpools, and high-end amenities such as big flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and iPod docks. Some have large rooftop terraces with private plunge pools looking out at the ocean. However, note that the beach is less attractive than others farther south, and there are no attractions nearby. There are a total of nine restaurants and 11 bars to choose from, and reservations are not required.

Le Blanc Spa Resort, Cancun
There is nothing ordinary about the 260-room Le Blanc Spa Resort: Everything from the wine lists to your workout has been tailored to be top-notch. It feels more South Beach chic than Cancun party, with a hip, gorgeous aesthetic throughout the entire pristine white property. The rooms are thoroughly modern and bright with minimalist decor and stunning ocean views (some with large whirlpool baths). But most of your time should be spent experiencing the top-of-the line spa, the chic restaurants (especially the stunningly designed Lumiere) and heavenly white-sand beach.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort & Spa, Cabo San Lucas
The all-inclusive, adults-only Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Resort is a tranquil, upscale resort on a gorgeous beach. It feels removed and secluded from the Cabo nightlife, though it's only about a 10-minute drive away. Amenities are plentiful; there are two beautiful pools, tennis courts, five restaurants (including sushi and Italian options), five bars(no well liquor here; staff serves Absolut, Bacardi, and Cuervo 1800, along with over other 50 brands of liquor), a large fitness center, and a full-service spa with a sexy whirlpool and meditation labyrinth. All rooms have patios or balconies with ocean views.
