For summer vacation, we went to an all-inclusive beach resort in Cancun, Mexico.  Even alcohol is included, though it is wasted on us as we don't drink, except for a little pina colada or margarita.  We went to a different resort restaurant each night - can choose from French to Mexican to BBQ restaurants.
