We did Aruba for about $3500........all inclusive.
You could easily do NYC for 3k. I just went 4 days for $1500.

Do you enjoy the beach, or sightseeing/new places?
We went to an all-inclusive in the Dominican Republic for less than $3k for 6 days. Was great. Lots to drink and plenty of lounging on the beach.
Same as you, I recommend the all-inclusive because you tend to relax more and enjoy it when it's effectively pre-paid. Knowing I'm paying for each drink/meal makes me less likely to order what I want.

Duh.
Ireland is good.
Warning: The drinking there makes us look like amateurs.

Was this Sandals? We have no clue who's better/where to book. Does that include your flights?

Waco, TX probably has some good rates right now. Wear an American flag.

I just got back from my first ever all inclusive in Mexico
To anyone who has ever done a few all inclusives
1. Are they all generally white trash
2. Is the all inclusive alcohol always watered down and bottom shelf and is the beer always low quality draught?
3. Is the food at all these places almost inedible? Like seriously, the worst food I've ever encountered
Did I just pick a shitty destination? Well, I didn't pick, it was for a wedding. The resort and rooms itself were great, but the all inclusive was terrible

I would travel Europe in the winter. At the end of the day you will save about half on airfare for what you pay in Spring and Summer, my round trip with turkish airlines was only $700. Once you are there you can airBnb for pretty cheap or stay at 3star hotels for about the same price as an airbnb. I went to Eastern Europe in late Feb/early march for 18 days, traveled 5 countries by train and spent around $3500 total. I also splurged at expensive steakhouses a few nights.
Ideally, I could have cut the trip in half and done 2 countries for $1800 i figure.
Get on board the euro is down as of now!

Mexico in general is not a Top Shelf destination. There are better Mexican resorts but in general the standards there are commensurate with what you would expect from Mexico.
All-Inclusives are, by nature, going to try and deliver the bare minimum of quality in food and alcohol they can to satisfy the segment which they are trying to cater to with the resort category. This means you can get marginally better consumables at a higher par All-Inclusive resort, but it's never going to be a Four Seasons' quality experience. It's simply not how A-Is work.
Rent a house that have a cook and housekeeper on staff or available. Let them buy local foods and prepare them for you. You get to know them and they can give you local knowledge.
Oh yeah, I avoid Mexico still. There's plenty of Carribean and Central America to see without going to Mexico.

I was thinking about doing an all inclusive with the GF in August to Dom Rep. We found a groupon for $600 with airfare out of Miami.
After talking to a few people this is the response I hear. I think we are going to hold off til October and do Iceland instead to see the Northern Lights. You can get super cheap flights to Reykjavík through wow.us
