Cancun All Inclusive
All Inclusive in Cancun refers to the hotel plan that is
currently in use by the majority of large Cancun 4-5 star
hotels
and resorts. It is based on the early Club-Med concept but taken to new heights.
Every plan covers all your food, beverages and towel needs.

MINI-BAR. Most 4-5 star hotels have small fridges in the room. These are called the min-bar. Some hotels stock the min-bar with pop, beer, potato chips and chocolate bars. These items are usually complimentary under the All Inclusive plan and you can have the fridge restocked every day and even ask for specific items.
 
BEACH TOWELS. The way the beach towel system works is that you are given a towel-card [at check-in] which you take to the towel-stand [usually located near the main swimming pool] and hand it in for a towel. You may exchange your towel as many times as you wish. When you no longer require a towel you trade your towel in for a towel-card. At check-out you hand in your towel-card. If you loose your towel-card you must pay [usually $20.00 USD].
ROOM SAFES. Most hotels charge extra for room safes. You pay up-front for X number of days. So when you check in you pay for your room safe then. If you are checking in with a busload of people you may want to skip that procedure until you have got to your room first. You can get a room safe at any time during your stay.
There are all kinds of room safe models. Some use a key, some have a key and lock. Some safes use a key-pad and some use the room access card. If you loose a safe key, lock or card you must pay an additional penalty [$20-$25.00].
All the safes usually are easy to operate and we have never heard of a person being ripped off from a safe being cracked.
CANCUN ALL INCLUSIVE HOTELS. Generally it is 4 and 5 star hotels [and Grand Tourism] that offer All Inclusive plans.
Unfortunately we do not list what hotels are AI [All Inclusive] on our hotel pages but rule of thumb is that the smaller hotels located in Cancun City are not AI, while the major resort hotels in the beach hotel zone are AI.
