My brother asked me to go with himself and his friends over the summer to cancun, and that it was 1600 (per person) all inclusive that means airfare, hotel, and to some extent food and drinks at the hotel. He says it's a good deal, but 1600 to me still seems kinda steep even for 9 nights. yea i don't think i'll be making the trip, i'm sure i could find something cheaper in the future.

Hello,
based on the information you give I'm afraid nobody will be able to tell you if it is a good deal or not.The three most important things are missing:
Where do you fly from?
Which hotel?
Single or double occupancy?
For example:
If you fly from Miami or Dallas and you stay at the "Blue Bay" 1600U$ is a ripoff.
If you fly from Seattle and you stay at the "Riu Palace" it is an absolute bargain.
There is a huge difference when it comes to quality in Cancun."all inclusive" by the way means in all of them that you can eat and drink as much as you wish.The difference is WHAT you eat and drink.Not to mention the difference in rooms and facilities.
I do live in the area since many years....in general is 1600 U$ for 9 days below average.
Sorry for my English....I'm German.
Greetings from Mexico,

Nice! My wife and I did the exact same thing for our honeymoon. We found that there are a lot of great restaurants in the hotels on the Cancun 7 (the string of hotels on the beach that forms a 7 shape). You can just walk right in and the nice ones usually have 2 to 3 restaurants (some of them are actually on the beach). We actually were pleased with the ones in our hotel and ended up eating there 50% of the time. For the other nights, we either ate at different hotels or would go into the downtown Cancun area and find a restaurant. It was great and we found some great fish/shrimp tacos. This wasn't a surprise but we found the best food was at the hotel restaurants. A couple of tips: Don't stay out too late in Cancun. Put on sunscreen! The Cancun sun is so strong! We went out our first day for 30 minutes and got scorched by the sun. We peeled for 7 days and could barely touch each other. Some honeymoon, huh? Have fun!

Why not try here: iBtraveling.com
and compare some prices for the exact days and possibly place your brother will be in Cancun.
$1600 in the summer, sounds a little high, but then again, it might be a real nice spot on the ocean for that money.

You'd better get a 4**** hotel and all the amenities including meals, golf green fees and watersports for that price!! I've travelled all over the world and I never paid that much for a hotel with breakfast for 9 days unless it included all the above...especially in Cancun!
