What to Consider When Choosing an All-Inclusive Resort

Have you always wanted to visit an all-inclusive resort? Wouldn't you love to not worry about expenses on your vacation? Did you know that not all resorts are the same? Resorts differ greatly from beach locations, restaurant and fine dining options, service inclusions and amenities.   Here are a few things to think about when planning your all-inclusive vacation.

What is included?

This is the number one thing to consider when choosing a resort. Some resorts will include everything from food and drinks to your laundry services. Other resorts will only offer a limited amount of things; certain alcoholic drinks will be included, but bottled water is not, or you may want to play volleyball on the beach and learn that there is a rental fee for sports equipment.

Do I want to stay at an adult-only or kid friendly resort?

Figure out what best suites your travel style. If you prefer not to have the presence of children on your vacation, then the adult- only option is for you. If you don’t mind children being around or are bringing children of your own on vacation, there are many resorts that cater to families with children. You can also choose an option in the middle of the two by going to a resort that offers adult-only areas. This way you get the best of both worlds.

Travel during the off season.

Traveling during off season is a great way to receive the best deals, and to ensure that the resort isn’t too crowded. The cheapest times to travel will be when school is in session for the kids, and hurricane season for the Caribbean and Mexico. Just be sure to purchase travel insurance!

Book Early

Book your trip as soon as possible. Booking early will ensure that you have many more options to choose from, and some resorts will even offer an early booking discount.

Find out what the tipping policy is.

Tipping can be confusing at an all-inclusive. Be sure to read the resort’s tipping policy before your arrival. Some resorts allow it where others completely forbid it and an employee can be fired if they accept one. If you’re not sure about the tipping policy, ask your travel agent or a friend that has visited the resort.

Ask your Travel Agent.
