[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All-inclusives. I've tried them twice and I just do not enjoy it. I went to one in Mexico alone, and was hoping that having people do things for me and not having to make decisions would be lovely. I got so bored I rented a car and drove to Tulum instead. The other was with my husband in the DR, and it was pretty, but just..fine.

The meals are...fine, but clearly catering to a boring middle america white person (PS not to be confused with the thread on all "fly over people," just a certain kind). The drinks are underwhelming. And then you just feel trapped, and like it doesn't make any sense to leave the resort, but then the resort isn't amazing either.

They also seem to be avoidant of any of the local culture, apart from that tiny section at the end of the lunch buffet, and it's a challenge to get out of the resort. [/quote]

You sound annoying. [/quote]

I'm interested to hear her take. I got invited to one of these in a few months and I've never been. I have a feeling it won't be for me just based on this post, but I like to try everything once.[/quote]

People like to bash all inclusives on here. Like most things, it has its place and may not be for everyone (certainly not something I'd recommend for solo travelers).

I like AIs for multi family getaways. No need to cook or clean. Meal decisions are pretty easy. And it's good for relaxing and spending time together. We've done it with different sets of families and like it for what it is. The food may not wow, but there's always plenty of fresh fruits and veggies and a large variety of offerings. I don't go to AIs for local culture; I go for relaxation. We've taken our kids when they were little and it's super easy. [/quote]
