I was wondering if anyone knows of any good all-inclusives. Also does anyone know how far Belize is from Playa Del Carmen?

No all-inclusives on Ambergris. It hurts all the small businesses trying to survive there. But it is sure NICE!!! I was worried about that when I was planninig my first trip to Ambergris, as I too like all inclusives, but I didn't miss it one bit once I got there. Trying out the little restuarants and different tours and exploring was half the fun!!!
You could easily get to Ambergris by boat from Play Del Carmen, but you would probably have to hire a private boat. You would also have to register on Ambergris when you arrive since you wouldn't be coming through customs at the airport. Don't know about that though. Anybody out there care to help on this????

I think El Pescador is somewhat all-inclusive. It caters mainly to fishermen

Journey's End and, as Orionhunter said, in a way El Pescador, have plans which are nearly all-inclusive. Captain Morgan's, too. And Cayo Espanto as well. But these are not quite true all-inclusives in the sense of including everything including drinks, tours, transfers, activities, tips etc. in one price.

Mopan River Resort in Benque Viejo (Cayo) is a true "net net" all-inclusive. Everything included from transfers from Belize City, tips, drinks, meals, canoes, tours including those to Tikal, plus very nice lodging in deluxe cabanas, are included for around US$115 per person per day (at some hotels you'd pay that just for the tours.) I'm not usually a fan of all-inclusives, but for some people this is really a great deal.

Another all-inclusive is opening near Hopkins in early 2001: Kanantik Reef & Jungle Resort. It will offer everything inclusive, including diving. But rates will be steep: US$300 per person per day.

Some of the jungle lodges, including Chan Chich, Chau Hiix, duPlooy's, Chaa Creek and Jaguar Paw, offer more or less all-inclusive packages. But most are not really all-inclusive because things like transfers or tips or booze may not be included.

On the question of how far is Belize from Playa del Carmen, by road it is about 5 hours to the border by car, maybe 6 hours in a bus.

Journey's End is all inclusive only as far as the meals and drinks. Activities and tours, diving, etc., are all extra.
