[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wondering what the appeal of an all inclusive is? Doesn't that basically mean you'll eat all your meals there, rather than exploring nearby?

We spent last year's spring break in Cancun and had a lovely time. Stayed in the Zona Hoteleria, but took the public bus into town, and rented a car one day to drive out to Chichen Itza. The food in the zona hoteleria was so-so, but we had some lovely meals venturing out into town and around the place.[/quote]
Well I personally  would not be going off property in Mexico, especially with kids, so for me the appeal is that the all inclusive is easy. We would park ourselves at the resort except for a couple day trips to Xcaret or something. I find them less appealing when traveling as a couple because we’re not huge drinkers and eaters. [/quote]

Are you OP? What confused me was that your first message asked about "places to visit" -- hence not clear on why you wanted AI. [/quote]
Not OP, but I don’t think they are mutually exclusive. We still do day trips to the touristy places from the all inclusives and it’s easy because they set it all up.  That was my perspective when I read it because that’s most people I know do. 
But you’re right if they want to do more stuff off the beaten path an AI isn’t necessary.  I (not wanting to start a debate here) would be uncomfortable doing the less touristy stuff in Mexico because I’m not familiar with the language, country etc and I just don’t feel the safest doing it.

I don’t think that is an unusual feeling. We’re going to Cancun this summer. AirBnb in the city, rental car but we all speak fluent Spanish. I completely understand why that would not be comfort for you [/quote]
