The majority of hotels and resorts in Cancun’s Hotel Zone are all-inclusive, such as the AAA Four Diamond Award winning Paradisus Cancún shown here. Their packages include all food, alcoholic beverages, room service and entertainment … an incredible bargain versus consulting your budget every time you sit down at a restaurant or bar. But some vacationers are more adventurous. They want to sample the local restaurants and seek out their style of nightlife. If that is you, then ask about the hotel’s European Plan. Your room rate will be much lower but everything will be ala carte. Another option is the American Plan. These typically include breakfast but little else. At least you will be starting your day in the sun with a full stomach.
