Hey all, my girlfriend and I want to go away to Mexico for a week after the Stampede. We started looking via the internet, but it's easy to get lost amongst the 10,000 online travel sites each promoting 10,000 different resorts.

Here's what we're looking for:
-a budget of $1500 each
-All Inclusive
-We're both in our early 20's, so we're not looking for the senior's village/couples only type thing.
-We're both very active, so things like windsurfing, sailing, scuba, sports etc. are desired
-Nice pool and by the beach
-Middle of July=HOT. Too far south in Mexico might be too hot!
-The Pacific side would be nice because we want to try our hands at surfing.

It's tough to get a good feel for the resort just from the internet. It's the little things (all inclusive only until time X, crappy food, crappy beach, etc.) that often go unmentioned. Personal experience recommendations are what I'm really asking of you guys.

Who's been to a great resort that is in line with what I'm looking for and what was it's name/through who did you book it. Or maybe you can recommend a completely new country. Ideally, we'd like to find some package where we only need to cash one cheque.

Cheers mates, thanks for anything you can offer.
