All inclusive packages aren't inherently bad. They're certainly different from the type of travel I enjoy but there are many people who speak very highly of them.

In a nutshell, all inclusive packages are great for people who travel because they want a week or two of great weather. People who love all inclusive packages are typically those who don't really care about the culture of the place they visit: things like the size of the waves at the beach or the water temperature are more important to them than whatever churches, museums and other tourist attractions are nearby. For any couples looking for a honeymoon where they can lounge around a beach or a swimming pool, maybe play a round or two of golf or a game of beach volleyball, not have to go far at all for meals (but eat at the same two or three restaurants for the duration of their stay) then they'd likely enjoy an all inclusive package.

Many all-inclusive resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean are all-inclusive for all guests, so there are no differences in the way anyone is treated. You should be able to find out whether the resort you are considering is one of those.

Certainly it probably works better on an island holiday because you can only ever get a few miles away from the hotel anyway. So it's quite possible to eat most of your meals there to take full advantage of the freebies, whilst still seeing everything else the place has to offer.

So if you are still wondering if an all inclusive vacations are still for you, you should ponder no further - save your time and money and have a nice holiday with them.
