Really all depends on your budget and if you feel like doing nothing but being a beach bum without a care in the world, or if you want to plan excursions/adventures etc. Maui is a heck of a lot more expensive than an all inclusive in Mexico, but it' also cleaner/safer, you can drink the water etc.

Mexico is more relaxed I suppose because you can just chill, drink how much/when you like, eat as much as you want, just about whenever you want.. whereas with Hawaii you'd pay through the nose to eat out every night or else rent a condo and cook at your place more often that going out..

End of the day, Maui > Mexico but you get what you pay for in life..
