31 All-Inclusive Vacations That Cost Less Than a Flight Alone

2. Cancún, Mexico

Cancún has long been a favorite among travelers for its powdery beaches, crystal-clear waters, and buzzing nightlife—but the real secret lies in its affordability. Through travel deal hubs like CheapCaribbean and Expedia, you can find all-inclusive vacations for as little as $450, airfare included. That’s often less than flying coast-to-coast in the U.S. Your package will typically include beachfront resort accommodations in Cancún’s Hotel Zone, where amenities like swim-up bars, rooftop pools, unlimited food and drinks, and nightly entertainment are standard fare. Off the resort, explore Cancún’s lesser-known side: swim in freshwater cenotes, visit the nearby Mayan ruins of El Rey or Tulum, or take a day trip to Isla Mujeres for some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean. For a budget traveler who still craves luxury, Cancún delivers the goods.
