The appeal of an all-inclusive vacation as the name suggests would be instead of getting stuck with a pricey vacation, you get the most bang for your buck because everything from transportation from the airport to the resort, hotel accommodation, meal arrangements  and more are pre-arranged for you for a flat rate.

​

What does it mean to "Go All-Inclusive"?

​

If you do not want to pay for each part of your vacation à la carte, then this type of travel would suit you just fine. With an all-inclusive vacation package, you can enjoy the most stress-free holiday and get to travel to a breathtaking, sunny destination in Caribbean and Mexico, Sleep in a luxurious room, indulge in delicious unlimited meals, refreshing drinks and alcohol,  all while relaxing on the beautiful beach without having to pull out your wallet the entire time. But you might be wondering;

​

Are all-Inclusive resorts the same?

​

While all-inclusive vacations do provide added-value for travelers who want to travel to the most beautiful beach destinations in the world, some high-end resorts can come laden with hidden charges, for example, tipping policies vary by resort, and some will add up to a 10% service charge to the final bill. Also, non-registered guests are not allowed at selected resorts, and if you want to invite a friend to your room for dinner or drinks, you may have to part with a very pricey day pass charge.

Additionally, when they say everything is included at an all-inclusive resort including cookie-cutter accommodations, they do mean it for the most part, but when you look at the bill at the end of your “vacay,” not everything is included, and extra charges do occur. Plus rooms are ranked on location, view, size including added amenities some all-inclusive offer a wide range of room types, and you may not end up with what you were expecting.

There are all-inclusive options for every preference, but you should always read the fine print to check if there are premiums on specific facilities that are not included in the advertised price.
