How do all inclusive resorts in Mexico not get sick?

The resorts filter their water or buy ice. I've brushed teeth with the water at resorts as well without issue. Outside of that area I would not suggest ice unless you are 200% certain of how/where they make/get their ice. Sticking with bottled beverages you can open is your safest best.
