I'm looking for a great all inclusive hotel with a great beach. I read great things about Secrets and others, but the beach is not that great. Seaweed, trash, rocky entrance, not that clear water you expect.

Any help on a resort with a great long stretch of beach that is post card perfect?

Sounds like you are looking for an adults only AI?

CHECK OUT ROYAL HIDEAWAY

Try Hotel Essencia on Xpu-Ha beach. Powdery white sand on a beach that is at least 2 miles long. Clear water. Great small hotel.

Mayakoba.
Most hotels in the hotel zone of Cancun.
Esencia, as the other poster suggested.
Maroma.
Riu Palace Mexico.

Thanks for your help everyone. Yes, I'd like adults only but I can compromise on that because in May there won't be that many kids.

I looked at Royal Hideaway but since the hurricane i hear the beach is almost gone.

All other suggestions are welcome. Unfortunately, I'm on a budget and more than $400 a night is almost too much.

the fairmont mayakoba website has rooms available for $239 a night in November, and if you call them, there might be more specials. It's not allinclusive, but it is a spectacular resort, and in your price range...

The beach size changes frequently depending upon the winds and tides. It was there when I walked it in June. It could, and sometimes does, change overnight.

Like Palladium. Stayed three times. But, check out tripadvisor.com. It is a big help.
