 <\/p>\n

We are taking a break from our regularly scheduled budget backpacking program to bring you this urgent announcement: Get yourself to an all inclusive resort in Mexico. Now!<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"all<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Yes, we know, it\u2019s a big jump from our normal articles about pinching your pennies. You may be wondering why we budget so thoroughly if we\u2019re just going to blow it all on one ridiculous week of over-indulgence at a flashy resort.<\/p>\n

Because dear friends, why the hell not<\/em>? We spend so much energy searching out the best deals, cheapest accommodation, most budget-friendly meals. We skip over-priced cocktails in lieu of homemade rum and cokes and cook cheap meals in even the grungiest hostel kitchens. And, for the most part, we enjoy the challenge and authenticity that these experiences bring. But it\u2019s also exhausting. And sometimes we just need a vacation, ya get me?! Here\u2019s why you should book yourself into an all inclusive in Mexico:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All inclusive Takes The Stress Out Of Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t know about you guys, but I hate money. I hate dealing with it, I hate having to remember to bring it out, I can\u2019t be bothered going to the ATM and I\u2019d rather just forget about it all together. Unfortunately the real world is not Burning Man and we can\u2019t just barter our way through life. Luckily, at an all inclusive you don\u2019t have to worry about dealing with cash. Paying up front for your room, food, alcohol and everything in between means being able to leave your wallet at home (just remember to bring some singles if you plan on tipping). The best part is not having to agonize over every purchase like you do when you’re\u00a0traveling on the cheap. Feel free to over-indulge!<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There\u2019s Something For Everyone<\/strong><\/h3>\n

No matter what kind of holiday you\u2019re looking for, Mexico has a resort for you. From the 20-somethings looking for a good party, to couples wanting a secluded romantic getaway, to families with young, energetic children. There\u2019s seriously something for everyone. We passed an absolutely gorgeous resort in Cancun that caters to gay men. Your options are endless.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"all<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The point of an all-inclusive is to have a good ol\u2019 fashioned toes in the sand, margarita in hand holiday.”<\/em><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

No, It Won\u2019t Be The\u00a0Most Cultural Experience, But..<\/strong><\/h3>\n

So you\u2019re not exactly going to find yourself coming back culturally enriched after a week at a resort, but that\u2019s not really the point. The point of an all-inclusive is to have a good ol\u2019 fashioned toes in the sand, margarita in hand holiday. If you\u2019re a budget backpacker traveling long-term, this is the perfect way to end months on the road in style. If you only have a short trip, don\u2019t miss out on the real Mexico behind the walls of a resort. Balance your time by exploring the cultural sites and then spending your last few days relaxing by the pool. Most resorts will even offer day tours to surrounding sights.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s Not As Expensive At It Sounds<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An all inclusive brings to mind an image of fat, rich Americans and Europeans ballin\u2019 it up. But resorts are not exclusively for the rich and middle aged. Young travelers and budget backpackers can find really amazing deals using sites like First Choice<\/strong><\/span>. Go ahead, give it a quick search. You may be surprised what\u2019s in your price range. After all, you\u2019re paying for your accommodation, every meal, snacks, beverages, booze and often-times activities.\u00a0It\u2019s also a fun challenge to see how much you can eat and drink to get your money\u2019s worth. I know we did! At my first all-inclusive in Cabo San Lucas we even received complimentary massages and a champagne and chocolate-covered strawberry gift basket! Talk about luxury!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"All<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking a week off to enjoy an all-inclusive may seem like the farthest thing from the \u201cauthentic experience\u201d we usually seek out, but there\u2019s nothing wrong with treating yourself every now and then<\/strong><\/em>. Backpacking on a budget can be exhausting and physically demanding. In our experience, it\u2019s more than worth it to splurge for a few days and indulge in food, drink and plenty of sun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
