thank you for the reply, i didn't notice that on PRICELINE until after you mentioned it. on HOTWIRE, yes, i did select by filter "free drinks and food" and it did show me a few resorts that said all inclusive, however does that actually mean i'll get the all inclusive deal if i select that resort? reason i ask, is because if i filter by "free premium drinks" it also lists me some resorts that are all inclusive (but i guess this all inclusive also includes premium drinks? whatever that means). so, do they have different tiers of all inclusive or how does that work?
our budget is up to 200 per night (so 100 per person), which on HOTWIRE i found a few that are well under that for all inclusive deals. the areas i'm trying to stay are not very specific either. as long as its not in punta mita which is quite far from the city itself.
