[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are looking at going on vacation in early June with a roughly $3,000 budget for myself, DH and 2-year-old DD. It could be a little bit over that for an all-inclusive.
I've found a bunch of places in Cancun that fit the bill in terms of budget, but wonder if we'll enjoy -- some of the reviews kind of scare me, but I can't tell if it's just disgruntled/snobby patrons or if the places are truly not nice. It doesn't have to be the Ritz, but we do want to enjoy ourselves.
Anyone traveled to Cancun with small kids on a similar budget? We would consider other destinations as well, Cancun just seems to have the most bang for buck and the most options. Would love some ideas or recommendations.[/quote]

What are some of the places you have seen in-budget?  People might know about them specifically.

In general, assuming your budget includes flights, that is going to be relatively light for 6-7 days at a lot of the all-inclusives.  But that doesn't mean you might not be able to find a deal or that you might not be perfectly happy at a somewhat more modest resort.

There is definitely something to be said for all-inclusives, especially with a toddler.  It is very easy and you can let her sample without breaking the bank.  Also, if you are the type of family that is likely going to eat at the resort most of the time anyway (again easier with a toddler then heading into town, if there is a nearby town), all-inclusive can sometimes be a decent deal because ala carte report prices tend to be high.  And, even if it is a wash in pure $ terms, not having to think that I am spending $10 for french fries each time (for example) is more relaxing for me.[/quote]
