Visitors to Cancun can choose from a variety of different lodging options for their vacation.
Hostels, boutique hotels, well-known branded hotels, vacation rentals through companies like Airbnb, and luxury all-inclusive resorts are all plentiful in the popular vacation destination.
But a new report shows that all-inclusives are the preferred option, particularly for American visitors, and there are a number of reasons for that.
So Many All-Inclusives To Choose From
One of the reasons for all-inclusives being so popular is the simple fact that there are so many to choose from.
From basic and affordable to luxurious and expensive, and adults-only to family-friendly, there is an all-inclusive for every type of traveler in Cancun.
And all-inclusives are spread out between the busiest tourist areas and exclusive gated resort communities, giving visitors the opportunity to choose their Cancun experience.

A Long List Of Highly Rated All-Inclusives
Not only are there a lot of all-inclusive resorts to choose from in Cancun, but a long list of highly rated all-inclusives.
There are numerous five-star resorts both in the Cancun Hotel Zone and in quieter, more peaceful areas in and around the city, like Costa Mujeres.
Many of these all-inclusives have even won awards from the most prestigious hotel rating institutions, including Tripadvisor and Forbes.

Unbelievable Amenities
All-inclusive resorts are not a new concept, but there has been a shift in the last few decades in what all-inclusive really means.
What used to consist of subpar buffet food and house liquor, beer, and wine has transitioned to gourmet food and top-shelf beverages.
Many all-inclusives have embraced this shift, some even offering premium liquor dispensers and fully stocked mini fridges in the resort’s accommodations.

Budget Friendly
There’s no denying the fact that vacations can be expensive, and one of the most costly parts of any vacation is food and beverage.
Sometimes the actual cost of dining out and having a good time in a vacation destination like Cancun can take travelers by surprise.
By booking an all-inclusive, you pay one price, and everything is paid for, which may not only be budget-friendly but also allows you to budget easier.
@everyonecallsmeb Replying to @mrsbellarobinson WAS IT WORTH IT? This is a cost breakdown of what we spent plus tips. There are suites that cost less/more. There are also excursions that are priced differently. You can definitely still have a great time no matter your budget but PLEASE DO NOT FORGET TO TIP YOUR SERVERS, TOUR GUIDES, BUTLERS, ETC. 5 USD is about 100 MX Pesos! #costbreakdown #cancunallinclusive #baecation #travel #budgettravel #royaltonchiccancun ♬ Mind Yo Business – Lakeyah
Top-Notch Service
The level of service offered at so many of the all-inclusives in Cancun is one of the many reasons they’re so popular.
Visitors rave about the level of hospitality they receive from the staff, from everyone from the butlers to the poolside servers.
This is truly what makes a Cancun vacation what it is.

Makes Vacation Planning Easy
When you book a Cancun all-inclusive, you’re getting the bulk of your vacation planning out of the way with just one step.
All-inclusives typically provide some sort of daily and nightly entertainment in addition to activities, dining, and even some excursions.
Additionally, for those traveling with children, all-inclusives often have kids’ clubs and activities, and in some cases, even childcare so parents can get some alone time.
@cali_kidddd Nice views, lots of dining options, nightly entertainment, shows, live music, and plenty of drinks at Dreams Natura Cancun, Mexico. #Cancun #DreamsNatura #Mexico #Travel #AllInclusive ♬ Vivir Mi Vida (Remix) – 祁念&小奶瓶

We travel to Cancun twice a year and prefer to dine at the wide variety of excellent restaurants located in the hotel zone of Cancun. we did the math and realized that all inclusive is not always the bargain people think it is. Also, with all inclusive, you miss out on fine dining experiences and amazing sunset dinners.
