They featured a resort whose website claimed to have swim up bars and six different eating options, snorkeling and kayaking, all included in the price.
But it didn't. Worse, it was broken down, dirty and they even captured a brazen bed bug who was crawling around on the bed in the camera man's room.
Here's how you can avoid that!
We, (the owners of Military Resort Deals and Military Cruise Deals) regularly take trips to Mexico and the Caribbean to tour as many hotels and resorts as we can; to see these places for ourselves before we recommend them to our clients.
We've seen hundreds of all-inclusive resorts and are due to see many more this year. (We're exhausted and have enormous dog-sitting bills.)
So when you book a resort with us, you don't have to rely on the pictures you see online and just cross your fingers that it's all not a big lie.
You can pick up the phone and ask us! We'll have a nice long chat and tell you what we recently saw with our own eyes! There are many resorts we found on line which looked fine, but once we toured them, we X'd them off our list as entirely unacceptable, except maybe for groups of impoverished, 18-year-old boys looking to escape the U.S. drinking-age limit.
Here's a few of the pictures we took at resorts this past year.That's your head travel agent Mitch taking pictures of the AH-mazing Secrets of the Vine in Cancun.
We were stunned by the perfection and beauty of this brand-new resort.
We'd recommend this place to a Royal Saudi Sheik or any nice couple from Kansas. (It's adults only.)
Yes, there's your travel agent Mitch, hard at work evaluating the leg room in a jacuzzi tub at the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun.
Guess what - we don't recommend Moon Palace! Compared to all the other options available at a similar price, this place wasn't good enough.
Here's Mitch at one of several clean, well-staffed and well-stocked swim up bars at Sandals all-inclusive resort in the Bahamas.
It's only 9:30 in the morning, but we had to order a drink to get this picture to prove our point, you know.

Here he is on Sandals' private island in Nassau. Look at that perfect beach!
See...we know what we're talking about. Let us help you choose the best all-inclusive resort for you.
