Are there any all-inclusive resorts that can be reserved directly with HGVC points? Or how about through RCI, does anyone have any good experience with this type of property?

I have found 1 good to use timeshare points to get all inclusive stays where is no additional fee.
I believe Fiesta is all inclusive option. .. (hgvc mexican affiliate )... you probably need to call and get the cost. . Generally i find that "all inclusive " costs will far exceed the mf related to the points used.

Yes, Fiesta Americana Cozumel is an all-inclusive that you can reserve with Club Points only (NO all-inclusive fee).
See: http://www.hgvclubprogram.com/club-perks/fiesta-americana-hotel/
Although starting at 1900 points per night, I wouldn't exactly call it a bargain.

OMG 1900 points a night! That's ridiculous!
Unless you've been there and it's worth it???
well... I imagine it is 4800 points related to lodging for 1 week and 8500 for All inclusive fee.
8500/7 = 850 points per day.
Lets assume that your points cost you 20 cents a piece, it is $170/Day (2 people). or $85/person/day.
That actually seems in line with some all inclusive fees.
IMHO, All inclusive is generally overpriced and overrated and only makes sense if you are a BIG drinker who would have paid for all the drinks no matter what. I have never heard anyone come back from an all inclusive and tell me "the food was amazing".
So is it generally agreed that AI is not worth it if the guest does not drink alcohol?
At Fiesta Americana Condesa in Cancun, the food was amazing, and the drinks were good well brands and not watered down. Additionally, they had good call brands by request.
Unless you want to eat 7 times a day.
What is your definition of amazing?
By comparison, how is it to Say a Royal Carribean cruise main dining room standard fair (I view that food as mediocre).
Other comparison points so you understand my Pallet:
How does it compare to say Applebees/Chillies/Olive Garden (I view that food as subpar) Or Cheesecake factory (mediocre and/or slightly above mediocre by my pallet)
Of course, that Pallet was developed after spending 10 years on the road 50% of the time (eating in all kinds of restaurants).
My palate must not be as sophisticated as yours. I loved the dining on my Royal Caribbean cruise! I value quantity and wide selection of food though.
