Best All Inclusive Resorts in Mexico (2023)

Here are our choices for, and full reviews of, the best all inclusive resorts (and ONLY all inclusive resorts) in Mexico.

 


Adults only all inclusive in Playa del Carmen - Royal Hideaway Playacar.

Royal Hideaway Playacar – Adults Only

Royal Hideaway Playacar is a 5-Star all-inclusive for adults only in Playa del Carmen that is a low-key, classy antidote to the many high-energy all-inclusives of the Riviera Maya. It has 6 gourmet restaurants, all a la carte, 3 bars, 6 pools, a full-service spa, a fitness center, numerous land and water sports facilities, and a gorgeous stretch of white sand beach among its attractions. It can get lively but it’s not a party resort. The upmarket clientele is mainly looking to relax, and the atmosphere is laid back and … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Ocean view at House of AiA, an all inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen.

Palmaïa, The House of AïA

Palmaïa, The House of AïA, is a very highly rated, 5 Star, wellness retreat in a private corner of Playacar Beach, Playa del Carmen. It only opened its doors in late 2019 but, despite this woefully unlucky timing, it has quickly created a buzz on the Riviera Maya and beyond. Eco-friendly vegan wellness might seem a tricky thing for an all-inclusive resort to pull off, and vice versa, but Palmaïa, The House of AïA has married the two to great effect. It offers ‘holistic activities and healing experiences based on … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


All Inclusive Adults Only Resort in Cancun - Le Blanc.

Le Blanc Spa Resort – Adults Only

It’s not cheap by any means but the decidedly swanky Le Blanc Spa Resort is to our minds the finest adults-only all-inclusive in Cancun. It’s a gorgeously chic property with opulent spa facilities, fabulous bars and restaurants (all but one of which don’t require reservations), and levels of service and pampering unmatched by almost any other resort in Cancun. Rooms & Suites: Their rooms and suites are bright, spacious and very well-appointed, and generally come with views of the lagoon or the ocean. Only some have proper furnished balconies though, most are … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Pool and beach at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort, Los Cabos.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort

One of five Pueblo Bonito resorts in Los Cabos, Pueblo Bonito Pacifica is a luxury (4.5 star), adults-only all-inclusive ten minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas. There are five fine restaurants at the resort and four bars. It’s an upscale place and far more tranquil than most adults-only resorts but there are free shuttles to and from the other Pueblo Pacifica resorts which have more of a nightlife scene. Other facilities include two swimming pools, a hot tub, nice gym facilities, 24-hour room service (and butler service in some suites), … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Beach at Dreams Tulum all inclusive resort in Tulum, Mexico.

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is a luxury all-inclusive on a gorgeous stretch of white sand beach just north of Tulum and 90 minutes from Cancun Airport. Built in a semi-colonial style and with beautifully designed, landscaped grounds, it has much of the look and feel of an old hacienda property, making it a little more charming than most modern style all-inclusives. It sees a generally well-heeled but eclectic crowd: families with children, couples, groups of friends etc. And all ages mix happily here. It has two pools, six restaurants, … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Beach at Grand Fiesta American Resort in Cancun.

Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach

Don’t be misled by the somewhat tacky-sounding name, Grand Fiesta American Coral Beach has long been one of Cancun’s most sophisticated luxury resorts. One which has just recently gone all-inclusive. It occupies a prime position in the heart of the city’s hotel district but remains somewhat elegant, refined and surprisingly peaceful. It also has possibly the best stretch of beach and water in the city and all rooms have ocean views. Its enormous Gem Spa is well known in Cancun for its great array of modern facilities including a 10-step hydrotherapy circuit (treatments though … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Swimming pools at all inclusive resort in Cabo San Lucas.

Riu Palace Baja California – Adults Only

Opened in late 2018, Riu Palace Baja is the third Riu resort in its huge Los Cabos complex, joining Hotel Riu Santa Fe and Hotel Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas. All three are of course all-inclusive but only Riu Palace Baja is adults-only, and is also a tad more upscale, and more expensive, than the other two. It sees a nice mixture of couples on romantic breaks and groups of friends of all ages. It’s a popular resort so book well in advance if possible, and note that there is … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Desserts at Cozumel Palace all inclusive resort.

Cozumel Palace

The swanky, 175-room, Cozumel Palace All Inclusive lies near the center of San Miguel de Cozumel less than a mile from the ferry port. The stretch of beach is small here but the resort has a large pool area with wonderful open sea views. Their food is a highlight, rooms are spacious and comfortable, service is legendary, water-based activities are numerous and overall Cozumel Palace offers a very enjoyable vacation. The resort is family-friendly but doesn’t have too much specifically for kids – though they do have a small kid’s … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Restaurant at Privilege Aluxes, a luxury all inclusive resort on Isla Mujeres.

Privilege Aluxes – Adults Only

Privilege Aluxes is a luxury all-inclusive at Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres’ best beach, that receives consistently great reviews, particularly for its staff. It is a small and intimate resort, and can be seen something of an antidote to the many larger, busier all-inclusives in Cancun. It has three restaurants and three bars, one a swim-up bar in the main pool, a large, full-service beach club on Playa Norte and a spa and gym. It is adults-only, couples mainly, and a solid choice for our list of the best adults-only all-inclusives … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE


Family friendly all inclusive in Isla Mujeres: Mia Reef.

Mia Reef Isla Mujeres

Mia Reef is a fabulous, family-friendly 5 Star all-inclusive on a private island just off Isla Mujeres. Its location makes it feel rather exclusive and it has an absolutely pristine stretch of private beach. As the islet is small and is surrounded on almost all sides by open water many rooms come with lovely sea views. It’s a friendly, sociable place and, due to the limited size of the islet, can sometimes feel busy, but the atmosphere is somewhat laid back and with just two bars it’s certainly not a … READ THE FULL REVIEW HERE
