All-Inclusive Resort Benefits

All-inclusives can be a very good value. One price up-front covers everything. There are no tips or gratuities. and you know exactly what your vacation will cost you.

In addition to your room, one price includes:

Air (optional)
Meals/Snacks
Beverages and alcoholic drinks
Many onsite activities including beach activities and water-sports
Evening entertainment
Babysitting and children's programs for all ages
Fitness centers

Larger resorts have multiple restaurants and the more expensive ones have sit-down
dining, while the others have excellent buffet dining.

There is almost always an extra charge for spa treatments; scuba, golf, or tennis lessons; and off-site excursions, etc.

BUT.......Is An All Inclusive For You?

Definitely "Yes" if you:

Want to spend most of your time just relaxing in one location
Like to imbibe a little
Want a good family vacation with the kids (choose a family resort)
Like nightlife Enjoy the sun, the beach and water activities (for beach resorts)

Probably "No" if you:

Like to move around and see a whole region and sample local dining
Don't drink at all
Are on a strict diet!
Don't enjoy beach or water activities

Will you use what's included? If you think you'll use everything a resort offers, even a pricey package can be a great value. A resort might seem expensive, but if you take advantage of all the included extras - scuba diving, waterskiing lessons, sailing and drinks - it could be a bargain.

Will you want what's NOT included? If you plan on playing golf at a resort, but the lower rate covers everything except golf, you are better off going to a resort that cost more, but includes the expensive round of golf.

At an all-inclusive, the more you use all the resort activities and amenities, the better the value..

Non All-Inclusive Resort Benefits

These resorts also come in every size to fit any budget, but you pay for just what you want
and not for anything you don't want.

When they are packaged with air fare they too are great values. Frequently good packages
and last minute deals are offered from major U.S. cities.
