All-inclusive resorts were once the “budget inns” of travel. Images of a rowdy crowd drinking in the Jacuzzi, bland food, forced group activities and limited entertainment was the norm. Today, the all-inclusive concept has expanded to unlimited activities such as golf on a championship golf course, gourmet meals, and more upscale and intimate resorts.
Vacationers are looking into all-inclusives for two reasons; time and value.
Travel experts say that pre-paying for all the food and drinks ahead of time allows you to have a more enjoyable getaway because you don’t have to think about how much you are spending and you don’t have to worry about carrying your wallet around the resort. Think of it as a no-hassle, stress-free vacation.
An all-inclusive resort usually include:
It’s best to choose the resort that has the activities and atmosphere that best matches your interest. Kid-friendly or romantic hideaway? Beach or snow? Whatever’s your fancy, there is one just for you.
Moms appreciate all-inclusive resorts. All-inclusive family resorts have everything for everyone, young and old. Some of the most popular resorts are located in Mexico and the Caribbean. Great beaches, fun watersports and awesome age appropriate kids program.
In addition to the “normal” inclusions, you can also expect the following at most family all-inclusives:
"When I am looking to steal away with just the hubby, you bet I’m going to hit one of the upscale hideaways," says Lee Boughan, travel consultant at Apopka Cruise Planners. "The upfront sticker price may be a shock at the beginning, but when you do the math, it is all worth it. Plus, not having to think about pulling out the credit card and tipping the attendant every single time is, well, what a vacation is all about. Not a care in the world!"
