Since this is our first trip, we're thinking of an "all inclusive" resort. What's your opinion on those?

Only been to the one referenced above. It was good.
If you were hungry, you went to one of the many resturants and ate. They had 'fancier' restaurants served on china down to quick food such as burgers and sandwiches and fries. If you were hungry, you went and ate, no matter the time. They had various 'specials' through the day, a one time event only offered for an hour or so in the afternoon, ice cream bar, or some such.
All the alcohol was free, I don't drink, so that was a loss for me I guess. Wife and her new found friends took advantage of it though.
They had a ski boat where they'd take you skiing around the bay for free. Scuba diving off their boat daily and nightly. Various kayaks, and paddleboats there as well.
A lot of other activities there I have forgot about and didn't partake in.
The workers were great, no begging like out on the island. If they asked for a tip you were supposed to report them immediately. Evidently they valued their job, because they never hinted at a tip.
