Absolutely wonderful!

We just got back from Omni Hotel in Cancun and absolutely loved it! We chose to do the all-inclusive, and it was absolutely worth it. Without it, the food and alcohol are pretty expensive, and we definitely wouldn't have indulged as much as we did. The all-inclusive was very easy - we just had to give our room number every time we got anything, but no signing or anything was necessary. There weren't any limits on alcohol or food or anything - just that we could only get room service 3 times a day at most.
The swimming pools were great, especially the swim up bars (there are two). The food was good for being all-inclusive and they really take care of you. I went with a group of 3 other people, and we're all in our mid-20s, so they knew how to treat us. They would bring us extra shots of their own concoctions that were fantastic and made for a really fun experience! We ate at Da Vinci one of the nights, and we were a bit disappointed with the quality of food. If you're all-inclusive, go give it a shot, but if you're not, it's not really worth the money, having to make reservations, and having to dress up.
We had more fun just hanging out at the resort than we did on any of the other excursions! The beach was a bit rocky, but the rocks were big, easy to avoid, and were just at the start of the shore. There were gaps in the rocks too so you could go out and swim in the ocean with no problems.
The rooms were great and the air conditioning worked extremely well. We had an ocean view king suite and the view was absolutely incredible! We booked our vacation through Costco Travel and would highly recommend them! They even booked our flight and transportation from the airport in our package and made everything very easy.
Overall, we had a great experience at Omni Hotels and would highly recommend this resort - especially if booking through Costco Travel where you get an excellent deal! (We got 5 nights, oceanview king suite, with plane tickets for two people for $2000 total - very good deal!)
