Mexico: $3,153

Mexico is the most popular pick for American travelers, and it’s easy to see why. Short flights, warm water nearly year round, and a country average of around $3,153 make it one of the best values anywhere. Visit between December and April for the best weather, or save even more by booking the shoulder weeks just before or after peak season when resorts drop their rates.

Cancun: $3,097

Cancun pairs powder-white beaches with easy access to Mayan ruins, cenotes, and a lively dining scene, all for an average of $3,097. It’s a great fit for first-timers thanks to the short flight and the sheer number of resorts competing for your booking. To save, skip the beachfront vendors and shop downtown where prices are far more reasonable, or stay on property and enjoy the included activities and nightly entertainment for free. Affordable Cancun resorts include Moon Palace Cancun and Zoetry Villa Rolandi Isla Mujeres Cancun.

Riviera Maya: $3,131

Just south of Cancun, Riviera Maya trades high-rise energy for jungle-backed beaches, boutique resorts, and world-class snorkeling along the Mesoamerican Reef, with an average package cost of $3,131. Book the first half of December or the weeks right after Easter to land lower rates before the crowds return. Staying on property keeps costs down too, since your package already covers meals, drinks, and daily activities. Affordable Riviera Maya resorts include Azul Beach Resort Riviera Cancun and UNICO 20 87.

Cabo San Lucas: $3,075

Cabo San Lucas sits where the desert meets the sea at the tip of Baja California, with dramatic rock formations, lively marinas, and an average cost of $3,075.

Skip the airport exchange kiosks and use an ATM to dodge foreign transaction fees, and remember that many Cabo resorts accept US dollars. Affordable Cabo resorts include Breathless Cabo San Lucas Resort & Spa, Riu Palace Cabo San Lucas, Le Blanc Spa Resort Los Cabos, and Paradisus Los Cabos.

Puerto Vallarta: $3,340

On Mexico’s Pacific coast, Puerto Vallarta charms visitors with cobblestone streets, a buzzing Malecon boardwalk, and golden-sand beaches, all for an average of $3,340. Shop the local flea markets for souvenirs and lean on the free activities your package already includes, like snorkeling, beach volleyball, and catamaran rides. Hiking the surrounding jungle costs nothing beyond transportation and is a beautiful way to take in the region. Affordable Puerto Vallarta resorts include Secrets Vallarta Bay Puerto Vallarta, Barcelo Puerto Vallarta, Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit, and Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta.

Dominican Republic: $3,245

Punta Cana: $3,256

Punta Cana is the Dominican Republic’s crown jewel, lined with more than 20 miles of palm-fringed beaches and sprawling all inclusive resorts, with an average cost of $3,256.

Montego Bay: $3,345

Montego Bay is Jamaica’s main gateway, home to the island’s busiest airport and a long stretch of resort-lined coastline, with an average cost of $3,345.

How to Save on Your All Inclusive Vacation

No matter where you go, a few smart moves can shave hundreds off your total:

• Travel in the shoulder or off-season: rates drop sharply just before and after peak season, often for the same great weather.
• Book early: locking in your package months ahead secures the lowest prices and the best room categories before they sell out.
• Bundle your flight and hotel: booking them together through our Hot Deals is almost always cheaper than buying each one on its own.
• Stay on property: your package already covers meals, drinks, and daily activities, so you can enjoy a full day without spending a cent extra.
• Pay in local currency: use an ATM instead of airport exchange kiosks to skip inflated rates and foreign transaction fees.

A little planning goes a long way. Knowing when to travel and how to stack these savings means you can enjoy an unforgettable beach getaway without stretching your budget. Browse the latest discounted packages and start planning the vacation you deserve.
