Need help!- all inclusive resort- undecided island!

I'm sure there are many similar posts but I need help! My fiance and I (late 20's) are looking to book an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean or Mexico in late July. I've done a ton of research n my own, but I am feeling very overwhelmed! We are undecided on location/island (open to any suggestion).

We are pretty adventurous, like to do our share of drinking on vacation, but we also want a relaxing environment with a great beach and views. (I guess we want it all!)

Any suggestions? Thank you SO much for your help!!!

Of all your tags, DR is known for all inclusives. Jamaica has a couple, Antigua 1, TCI 2 (with one ultra kid friendly, 1 adults only club med)

Really for all inclusives, you need to stick to

DR
Mexico

That gives the most choices and these islands know how to do AIs

The other tagged islands aren't really know for their all inclusives...and the ones they have are actually extremely expensive

Secrets Maroma...45 min or so cab ride from Cancun. Gorgeous beach, excellent food and great service. We loved it.

We need to know your budget. For instance, Secrets Maroma recommended above is pricey.
Your age group seems to really like Excellence Playa Mujeres.

So far you have told us that you want an AI so you can drink and relax on a nice beach with view.

Unfortunately, you just described a huge majority of resorts through out the Caribbean and Mexico.

They all serve drinks, and most have views and a beach.

The more specific you are in what you are looking for will get much better responses.

Right now...95% of all the AI resorts in Mexico fit your wants.

I would agree with focusing on Mexico instead of the Caribbean.

If you do not mind a VERY simple ( no frills. older rooms ) resort , Club Med Turks & Caicos would give you the beautiful ( Best in the world) 12 mile beach. Club Med sits on a HUGE stretch & you can be as active as you want & it is all inclusive.
