Inexpensive All-Inclusive Vacations in Mexico
By Jennifer Moore, eHow Contributor updated: March 9, 2010
I want to do this! All-inclusive resorts in Mexico don’t have to be expensive. There are more than a few all-inclusive resorts in Mexico, and several are very inexpensive. Meals, drinks and hotel activities are all included in the room rate. The only reason to take extra cash is to cover any additional day trips or to go shopping for souvenirs you want to take home. Some inexpensive all-inclusive hotel packages come with airfare included, while others require you to book your airfare separately. To take advantage of discount rates, be sure to travel in the off-season, which is from March to October.
