I would highly suggest flying into Cancun but heading 60-70 miles south to Playa or Riviera Maya. Cancun is more of a younger wilder crowd from what we have seen over the last 15-20yrs. Yes all inclusive means all meals and drinks are included. We love all inclusive and wont travel any other way when we go somewhere on the Caribbean. But all inclusive resorts arent for everyone. Biggest factor imo, are you guys drinkers and are you picky eaters? Drinkers and you will love it, picky eaters and maybe not so much. All inclusives are mostly buffets, better resort, better buffet. However most resorts have sit down restaurants as well and our resort for instance has 7-8 sit down reservation restaurants. That makes it more tolerable imo.
Do you care if kids are around or are you looking for adults only. Resort we go to has 2 different sides, adults only side is a little more expensive. But has better food and alcohol including top shelf.
DEEZUZ goes to a resort that is 100% adults only and looks really nice. He can chime in on that one. We stay at the TRS in Rivera Maya. Also in May you might get beaches full of seeweed, I know in the past its an issue around summer time,
IZZy might know more on that.
Any other questions feel free to ask, been down there 12-15 times and actually just got back 2 weeks ago.
You might want to do 8 days vs 6 days, you have to remember the 2 days you are traveling there and back are counted as days. 8 days is pretty much a week when you factor in the traveling.
Those 2 days of traveling are loooonnngggg ass days, 8-10hr days between the flight and both airports. We have done 14 days, 10 days, 8 days, and 5 days.
5 days is way to short, and anything over 8 days is too damn long.
