    I would avoid staying in Cancun unless you watch MTV all day long. Too many kids there....its like Fort Walton 10 or 15 yrs ago. I just got back from Playa del Carmen. The Hurricane did some damage all along the coast in that area but its not that bad. Check out Xcaret in Playa. Very cool place. Awesome Food and you dont have to worry about the drinking water :rollside: http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g1...1/DSCN0492.jpg

    Been there quite a few times and love Cancun. Stayed at the El Dorado resort about 45 minutes outside of town, all inclusive for our honeymoon. Nice and quiet nowhere near the hotel zone.
    Have also stayed at The Cancun Hilton which is at the end of the hotel line where the Hilton golf course is. Fun course to play and dodge the gators that are all over that course. Sometimes it's better to just leave your ball where it lies and play another. Also stayed at the JW Marriott several times and that place is truly top notch. Highly recommend the JW which is next door to the standard Marriott hotel. Great rooms, great beach, and great service. Also been to another all inclusive joint called the Avalon Grand Hotel. If you stay there, you can also get the same treatment at their property on Isla Mujeres ("Island of the women" :rollside if you go out there for a day which I also recommend. Cool little island that you rent off-road golf carts to cruise around the island on for like $50/day and they're quite quick.
    As the issue was already posted....I do not know how it is since the hurricane hit. I did see pics of the JW aftermath and it was very extensive damage that shut many hotels in the zone down for a reconstruction period. The damage was bad and large portions of the beach had washed away in the zone. But it's been a while and I'm sure they rallied to get things back in order.
    Definitely go swim with the dolphins in either the aquattic park in Cancun or the one on Isla Mujeres. That's a great experience. The jungle cruise is kinda cool to because you get mini two seater O/B speedboats to cruise to each of your stops before snorkeling.
    Bars for sure hit Daddy O's, Daddy Rock, Patty O'Briens, The City, Coco Bongo, and La Boom. All of those places go off.
    Have a great time out there!!

    Some very good info by all.
    Question ... Are the "all-inclusive" hotels as good as they sound to be, or is it just a minor consideration, or is it "hit or miss" type-of-deal?

    Yup, already booked Playa Del Carmen for next year. Saw some pics and was sold. Too many boat trips to do it this year, so next year it is.
    Doing one of the 5 star all-inclusive places.
