All inclusive? Mexico?

Question

My husband daughter 13 and son 17 are going to the cancun area to scuba, have a day excursion or two, etc. the excursions are around $99 each (meals included) so we are talking about $800 if we take 2.

plus scuba will run us another $4-600 at least. I got an incredible price on viva aerobus for $570 total.

If we get an all inclusive it will be at least $2400. We could rent a condo for $600 and get our own food at walmart and then eat out. Maybe $65 a day and save $1k. Or am I missing something?

We'd love all inclusive but our vacation is creeping up to be very expensive if we do that. I am trying to keep it around 3k which means it'll be 4k (realistically)

Answer 1

I will name a few AI resorts in Cancun's Hotel Zone which you should begin to research prices for ASAP:

Riu Cancun

Dreams Resort

Gran Caribe Real

Sunset Royal

Barcelo Tucancun

NH Krystal

Cancun Palace

Flamingo Resort

Park Royal

There are many more AI resorts, however I believe these have a better chance of falling into your budget.

Answer 2

Just go ahead and do the all inclusive...it is much easier and in the end it is less expensive.  I suggest one of the RIU resorts......RIU Caribe or RIU Cancun or the Gran Caribe Real for the best prices and accommodations.  The Avalon is also a good choice for the price....as well as a good location.  In the end....you will not go wrong with the all inclusive.   If you would wait until you get to Cancun to book your excursions...you can save some money with the conceirge at the hotel.   You also know you will get what you want and that it is for real.  I have heard of people booking excursions over the internet and get here only to find they do not exist.  Remember...all vacations are expensive....but they cannot be replaced.  Life can bring many changes to a persons life unexpectedly and those family moments on vacation are worth more than you can ever imagine.  Trust me......I know this from experience.  Just have fun and enjoy your time as a family while you vacation.......make it fun and easy.  You are going to love Cancun.
