When planning a relaxing trip on a budget, we love recommending an all-inclusive resort! This is something not found here in the U.S. so we always bring up the abundant options that are available in our neighboring country, Mexico.

One of our top choices as of late for those traveling as a family or for those with a knack for adventure is Xcaret in Cancun, Mexico. This all-inclusive resort when booked as a package not only comes with the usual fare of food and drinks throughout the hotel property, but also gives you access to 7 of their theme parks! It’s a great way to have fun with friends or family and still be relaxed and stress free from having to plan meals separately. Xcaret’s theme parks not only include historical aspects, where you can learn about local and native traditions but they also have many adventurous options that can be considered low physicality like floating down the lazy river or exploring the cenotes or for the dare devils of the group, a higher physicality like zip lining, ATV cars, and rafting. After spending the day out at one of the Xcaret theme parks, travelers are free to continue to enjoy the hotel property with relaxation and great food that is  included daily.
