My husband and I enjoy staying at all-inclusive resorts when we really need to unplug and escape. We don't have to worry about cooking, picking out restaurants or even trekking around the city we're in (if we don't want to). A lot of these things can be the best part of a vacation, I know, but when you want to do absolutely nothing, all-inclusives can be just what you need.

On our most recent trip to Mexico, we stayed at a budget-friendly yet highly-rated all-inclusive resort on Cancun's Hotel Zone strip. Hotel Riu Caribe, a short ride from Cancun International Airport, hit all the marks we were looking for in a don't-lift-a-finger vacation. After a week of eating and napping way more than I usually do, I found myself wishing I had packed a few luxury items to make our trip even more comfortable. Here are a few items to consider packing for your next all-inclusive beach vacation.
