All inclusive 3-4 days couple getaway?

Anonymous
I don’t care for them but need something easy, warm, and a direct flight from DMV. Looking Feb / March.

My husband and I are in desperate need of kid free time, laying around half naked and not have to find a place for dinner. Would like 3 nights.

Why all inclusive? The vast majority of them have terrible food and weak drinks. Are you just looking for a deal or does all inclusive means something different to you?

It means not having to make decisions around food! I’ve been managing meals for 22 years. My kids are early 20’s but one is disabled and will be with me forever. I need a break. My husband isn’t a foodie. He can’t even think of what type of food to eat. It’s all on me. And we’re not big drinkers.

We stayed here. It’s a smallish resort, had jacuzzi on balcony, nice beach

But this is the place I’d choose for a romantic 2-3 days with dh:

jeez, that’s helpful. Not. I was hoping for recommendations. I looked up breathless. Is it a party place? Looking for something on the quiet side.

Le blanc in Cancun is pricey but we really liked it. Food was actually good.

Nizuc in Cancun was nice. It’s not all inclusive but you can eat at one of the several restaurants on the property. Although food, drink is expensive. But it was a 15 min drive from Cancun airport so easy to get to

That’s not what all inclusive means. All resorts have multiple restaurants and food options. All inclusive or not. Think of all inclusive as all you can eat. And drink. I don’t think the cost of all inclusive makes sense for you if you’re not big drinkers.

Just eat at the hotel. Why does it have to be included up front?

This. It’s for drinkers and people with kids.

Many resorts are booked in March due to Spring Breaks. They will be very busy.

Look at Half Moon in Montego Bay. Large property not known for loud party types. Peaceful and many food options.

Look at adults only resorts..Sandals, Iberostar etc. And yes, it's about the biggest decision of the day being what topping you'll have on your made to order breakfast omelet and whether you'll sit on the beach or by the pool. It's not about whether you'll have Michelin meals for a few days.

I think some of the ones in Jamaica are closed until summer after the hurricane, but not all.
