Dh and I did our first, and last, all inclusive last year. Horrible! They are made for people who want to lay on a beach and never leave the resort. Why even travel? I understand others like them, hey more power to you, but I will never return to one.

Resorts come in all shapes and sizes. Don't think "Sandals" when you think "resort". Please!
We occasionally travel to resorts and they are great places to relax, get a massage, have a quiet dinner, private beach, etc. And if theyr'e located well, you can easily travel in and out to see the local sites. Now that's a resort.
Dolphin pools, water slides, aquariums, meal plans, "socials," "mixers," rock wall, etc. NOW THAT'S SIMPLY A CHEESEY RESORT. Not a good one.

bbt: Sounds like you got locked in your resort and held against your will at gunpoint. Who said just because you do an all-inclusive you can't venture out? We do all the time and still get our money's worth. Not to mention, most AI's we've been to, the food has been good. Please don't generalize and give people false impressions.

The all-inclusives outside of Playa Del Carmen. Terrible for singles. Full of couples (lazy people who wanted nothing more than to eat, drink, and sit on their butts all day) and families (whining bratty kids). ZERO nightlife unless you take the long taxi ride into town. And the town wasn't all that great...tacky tourist shops that sell a same stuff you can get at tacky tourist shops anywhere else in the world.

The Pier House in Key West, $400/night for a standard room? It was crazy money for something that I would have paid $100/night elsewhere. Also Disney, always overpriced, it I am paying more than $300/night I want it to be Ocean front or a Ritz Carlton.
