All-Inclusive

[shedite]

Spent a week in an all inclusive resort in Cancun with 7 lads a few years ago and it was feckin brilliant. Trying to do something similar this year. Anybody find anywhere with a similar nightlife around Europe or in the carribean? All-Inclusive is a must, as is the sun. I'm open to all suggestions. Have about €1,500 to play with for a week.

shedite i can say ya its savage alright, though ye can get bored of the same food. the night life was good in cancun but when we went it wasn't the same as I'd hoped for!

when they say all inclusive does this mean you can have as many pints as you want or is there a limit?!

Think it's unlimited but just the cheap local stuff.

I have always failed to understand the attraction of all inclusive

Value for money. If you've already paid up front, yo're likely to get a good deal.

I was pretty much against themin the whole "you can't tell me waht to do on my holiday" vibe but having gone all inclusive in St Lucia this year, its the way forward if you want a relaxing break. Its a pleasure walking around without money and cards.

Depends on the resort obviously, and the type of holiday you're looking for. For a bunch of lads, the place I was wouldn't work.

We ended up booking Cancun again. First week we're going to rent a car and see some of the country. Week 2 there's some more friends arriving for the all-inclusive idea. It's a great bargain. €45 each for a 4* hotel with all meals and drinks included. There's 12 bars and 9 restaurants in the resort too so no need to worry about getting food ya don't like. It'll work out very cheap ofr us.

I went back in september, id try and go earlier again to be honest if i could.

who did ye get it with to get it so cheap?

I was just on an all inclusive in Lanzarote, all drinks no matter what were included. Im sure some places would have limits like that though.

I find the food isnt as good as it would be otherwise.I had buffet style meals. It saves a lot of hassle though instead of flicking through menus you can just get what you want. If you dont like it just go up again!

Did we have a repeat of the Waterford incident?

Sorry for the delay - wasn't online all weekend.

We got those rates by emailing a rep from www.cancunallinclusive.com

We are sharing rooms tho - and there's 3 of us there for some of that trip and 2 for the rest of it.

Cancun seems to be the one place that reps definately get far better prices than any website. Here's the email with the rates:
