Best Affordable All-Inclusive Resorts

Azul Beach Hotel, by Karisma
Puerto Morelos, Riviera Maya
Who Should Go: Couples and families
Why: Azul Beach Resort knows just how to appeal to first-time all-inclusive guests. The resort has just 148 guest rooms, each featuring a patio or balcony, in low-rise adobe buildings clustered along the water’s edge. No activities director will rouse you from a beach bed to join a conga line (though a beach butler may ask if you’d like a cool towel or cold drink). The hotel has plenty of adult features—a bar dedicated to tequila, live music in the bars, menus with adventurous eaters in mind, those breezy beds on the sand—but also welcomes families with a daily kids’ club and children’s selections at its five restaurants.
The Dollars: Doubles from $313 during high season. Kids under 3 stay free; older kids are charged $100 a night.
