I've done the all inclusive Mexican resort thing and I've done whirlwind vacations going to multiple cities across the world and spending most of my day walking, exploring, etc.

I've found the former helps me physically and mentally recharge better than the latter, but the latter, while perhaps physically and mentally draining in some ways, is way more stimulating and enriching than the former.

In the end, it depends on what I really need. Now that I know enough about myself,I can make better use of that time. There doesn't need to be one "right" type of vacation, any different strokes for different folks and what not.
