Confused By My Last Post About Choosing An All-Inclusive Resort? Read This…

If you waded through my last post about choosing an all-inclusive resort (Part 2), here’s a post with a much quicker summary.  My last post was about considering weather and budget in your all-inclusive resort choices in the Cancun and Riviera Maya.  I know that one was rather convoluted so read on for the basics:

  • Hurricane/rainy season:  June through November
  • Worst months to visit:  January, August, September (highest possibility of experiencing hurricanes in September).  Think about visiting in June due to possibility of lots of rain; October is an iffy month to visit since you could experience a lot of rain/hurricane.
  • Best months to visit:  After Feb. 15 through the end of April.  I also like to visit mid July.

For budget considerations, here are lists of resort chains/companies for each budget category:  There are often several resorts under each named resort company:

  • Luxury Stay:  Grand Velas, Hotels Xcaret, Viceroy (all-inclusive optional), Blue Diamond, Secrets Impression, Karisma–Nickelodeon and Palafitos
  • Upper Budget:  Hyatt, ATELIER, Excellence, rest of Karisma resorts, Hard Rock, Palace resorts, Paradisus, UNICO 20 87, Haven Riviera Cancun, Palmaia The House of AiA, TRS properties (adults-only resorts within Grand Palladium resorts), Iberostar Grand Paraiso, Planet Hollywood, Live Aqua, Majestic Elegance, Fiesta Americana, Hilton
  • Mid Budget:  Royalton, Valentin Hotel Group, The Fives, Barcelo, Grand Palladium, Wyndham, Oasis, Akumal Bay Resort, Sandos, Crown Paradise Club, Club Med, Sunscape
  • Lower Budget:  Barcelo (some resorts are in the lower budget range), Riu, Wyndham Alltra, Iberostar, Krystal, Catalonia, Emporio Cancun, Flamingo Cancun, Reef resorts, Bahia Principe, Iberostar, Park Royal, Royal Solaris
