All inclusive vacations: Find seclusion at Xpu-Ha Palace

Fancy-shmancy resorts with towering structures are awesome, but sometimes a departure from the norm is in order. At Xpu-Ha (pronounced “es-shoe-PAH”—start practicing now) you’ll be staying in your very own thatched hut. But don’t be deceived — these bungalows are all 21st century with private balconies, double Jacuzzis, wireless internet and my favorite thing in the world: 24-hour room service.

Bringing the family? No problem. All inclusive vacations at the family-friendly Xpu-Ha come complete with a Kids Club facility, sweet pool playground, and educational eco tours. Xpu-Ha is also pet-friendly if you’re thinking of bringing Fido along for the fun.

Tip: If you’re looking for something extra to do, hop a bus and take a tour to the nearby port of Tulum and check out the Mayan ruins. Put simply, it’s an easy way to blow your mind without blowing your wallet.
