Finding the right all-inclusive resort sounds easy until you start factoring in who is actually going on the vacation. This week, we’re looking at all-inclusive resorts through the lens of two very…
My first resort, and I was telling Crystal before we started recording that just based on all of the things that, all of the requirements that I had, that really everything that I, all of the options that I have are in Mexico.
Because it is probably the best spot to get something for everybody because of the variety of resorts that it has.
I really tried because I love the Punta Cana area in Dominican Republic, but I think that was probably going to be more like a girl's trip type thing, not for my family.
It is $4,386.48 for four nights.
One of the other things I looked at was we could do...
I wanted, I preferred five nights, but if I had to do four, then fine.
Like, so these may not all be for the same amount of time because I needed four nights in order to make this work for the budget.
It has a king and two queens option for a suite.
One of the other things I also asked for, and I forgot to mention, I wanted it to be ocean view.
So this is ocean view as well.
A lot of the all-inclusives have mostly ocean view, but it's not a given.

I'm not going to get the beach with the ability to swim in the ocean as much.
It's kind of hit or miss.
It has a great pool area for the girls.
It also has a great, I don't even want to say kids club because it's more like a teen type club.
It's called Sandbar Social.
It's specifically for teens that has lots of things for them to do.
It has great dining.
It has 24-7 room service.
That was also something I asked for.
I wanted something that had the...
Because sometimes it's like 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. or whatever.
