[quote=Anonymous]Staying outside the resort at a comparable hotel/B&B to the resort didn't save much money in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. I don't drink much (I drank maybe 5 alcohol drinks during the 4 day stay) and it's true that the food is mediocre in the all inclusives. But it's a hassle to try to find good food outside. We ventured out one day and still got mediocre food because we just popped into one in the touristy area.

I have been to the RIU chain resorts in Mexico (Hotel Riu Palace Mexico and the others in the area) and to the Secrets Silversands Riviera in Mexico. The Secrets was a higher end place than the RIU resorts and pricier too. Secrets was adults only. I do not remember seeing tattoos. My husband and I went with my parents. Secrets was much quieter and the food better than the RIU resorts. But the downside was that it was pricier. In terms of value, I think even if you don't drink much, the resorts are able to price things that cheap because of their scale.

All in all, I would go all inclusive again. Which is what I did after the first one (we returned to the same area, just another chain!)
