Don’t let it ruin your trip. Instead aim to get off the resort as much as possible!

It’s such a shame that it’s so easy to visit another country, and contribute nothing to the local economy. It also saddened me that the whole Playa del Carmen area became essentially a caricature of Mexican culture… None of it felt real at all. I know a lot of people argue the idea that everyone should be allowed to travel how they want, but you can’t ignore that there are repercussions for people living there. Your escape is someone’s home, and for them it’s no paradise.

Thinking of going… any recommendations? Great hotels to start with? Where to stay away from for sure?
Thanks

We are currently traveling in Baja, and Cabo San Lucas is another area that has been decimated by all-inclusive resorts. You make so many excellent, ethical points here. I think another important issue with all-inclusive resorts is the fact that all-inclusive patrons don’t experience any of the real Mexican culture, which is part of what makes Mexico such a special destination. It’s a loss to the individual traveler as well as the local community. Hopefully some all-inclusive patrons will read this and rethink their travel style!

We go 2 or 3 times a year from Canada and always stay at local hotels….so many to choose from. We love the food choices at local establishments…..whatever price range you want….we have our favs but are always looking for new interesting places…..all run totally by locals. Heading out again soon for Playa….can’t wait :)))

We are planned a trip next year. It start as an all-inclusive to cancun.Not really our cup of tea. We have now changed to renting a house in Puerto Morales. The town looks perfect, local people, local markets and local places to eat. There is so much nature to see there, we can’t wait. The local that owns and rents the house has been very helpful.
