What is a good all-inclusive resort in Mexico for my honeymoon?
I need to stay around $3,000 including air fare.
I also honeymooned at the Aventura Spa Palace in the Riviera Maya. The resort is amazing. Great pools, large rooms (that are cleaned and refreshed with curious consistency) and clean grounds. There are plenty of communal areas, but there are also plenty of places for you and the new bride to sneak off and be alone. It was romantic without being cheesy and there are plenty of excursions including trips to Mayan ruins and swimming with dolphins.
Additionally, there is a special dinner for guests who are honeymooning or celebrating an anniversary. We met some folks there that we still keep in touch with 'till this day! There is also a full service spa that pampered even a Harley rider like myself.
You can also take advantage of the grounds of 5 other Palace resorts nearby including one with a outstanding, yet challenging, golf course and another with a zoo. (A real zoo in a resort!)
I could go on and on, about the disco, the attentiveness of the staff, etc. We heard lots of horror stories from friends about their honeymoon and were a little nervous about the process, but we had the best start to our marriage there at the Spa Palace. I highly recommend it.

Riu Palace @ Cancun...great food with almost 34 intl' buffets plus 5 'themed' restaurants (italian, sushi, steakhouse). Great service, great view...just perfect
We went to Verana in Puerto Vallarta. Small, well designed, boutique resort. Every room is in a separate, uniquely designed building. Food is included and usually includes seafood or Mexican or a combination of the two. It's also only accessible by boat which makes it a bit of an adventure. We went for around $3k, great deal. www.verana.com
Go to Mobissimo or Kayak and click on "Deals"
They have a bunch of all inclusive resort packages for rock bottom prices. We have found some pretty great deals on both those websites.
Personally, if you've never been- a cruise might actually be a lot more fun and allow you to see a lot more of Mexico then an actual resort. Get a beautiful balcony room in the biggest boat you can find, and you will get a floating "All-Inclusive Resort" that will let you see more then one side of Mexico.
Also the western coast of Mexico is much more beautiful and less touristy then the "MTV" style resorts on the east coast.
Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas are well worth seeing. And if you're feeling adventurous check out Tijuana.
Have fun and congrats on getting married.
We honeymooned at Aventure Spa Palace, in the Riveria Maya region...45 minutes south of Cancun. It is an Adults-only, all inclusive SPA resort...good food, amazing accomodations, and since they have resorts in/around Cancun, you can day trip there.
