    What's the allure in going to a resort in Mexico?

    Nothing, we go to Maui every year.

        Loved it in my drinking days. Haven't been since I quit. I imagine it would still be fun. I'd just spend it doing things I didn't while I was trying to deplete the hotel's alcohol reserves.

          Where are you guys staying that gives you all the free food you desire?

          The "all inclusive" we stayed at had certain places to eat that were included but the good stuff you had to pay extra for. And other things like the kayaks all lined up on the resorts beach you had to rent.

            I’ve never been to one like that. All I’ve been to allowed free range. Some of the nicer places required reservations but all were allowed. All sail boats and kayaks and such you had to check out… but were free

                My wife and I go to Mexico 3 times a year, 2 times to Cancun and 1 to cabo. We go to an adult only all inclusive, LeBlanc. They keep the beaches clean, the food is outstanding and the drinks are top shelf. The service is unbelievable. I can leave my house and be on the beach drinking a Margarita in a few hours. I am always running and gunning, this is just an awesome way to relax for a week.
                PS: The scenery is outstanding!!!

                  Playa Del Carmen & Cozumel are awesome places to go. Parasail, fish, Mayan ruins, swim with the sea turtles and much more.

I like to go to interesting places and get out and see as much of it as I can. I like to hike and explore, visit the shops, eat in the restaurants, meet some locals. We've stayed at some REALLY nice resorts, but we never just hang out in them. We walk past people sitting by the pool reading on our way out the door every day. They seem to be enjoying themselves, so it's cool. Just not for us.

                    When people talk about resorts in Mexico, they usually say some version of, "it's very safe as long as you stay on the resort." We have friends that go multiple times every year. They love it. Just not for me.

                    Same for a cruise. I like to get away from people when I'm on vacation. Being on a ship with hundreds of other people would feel like hell on earth (or hell on water) for me. I know you can get off the ship for a few hours during the day, but having to stick to somebody else's schedule would suck too. But millions of people enjoy cruises, so that's cool for them. I can't imagine that I'll ever join them though.

                      I’ve been 4 times. Never once felt uncomfortable. Even ate at some local dives; shopped local etc.. Tulum was my favorite. Always met more than respectable folks

                        For $3500 bucks you can get on a plane for 2 hours, take a short cab ride, and spend 3-5 days at a beautiful 5 star resort where you can have any food or drink you want, set around a pool/beach, and never hear a phone ring. There’s golf, and adventures there if you want them. It’s very simple.

                        At this point I’m kinda done with it, but we used to go every year and it was a ton of fun. I’d still rather go to Mexico than Florida…

                          Like with anything you still get what you pay for in relation to the goods. Even though Mexico is typically a better “value” than US places. If you go down there on a $250 a night all inclusive…. It won’t be the same food and drink as a $600 a night place. But whatever the budget is it will still usually beat out most US tourists attractions.

                            The glare maybe?

                                Good lookin women,food,drinks and fishing. I gained ten pounds in 5 days in Mexico. It's awesome.

                                An all inclusive resort is anyways. I didn't have to leave. Just ate every time my stomach quit feeling full whether I was hungry or not.
