If you are considering an all-inclusive vacation, then you are surely in for a treat! However, there are plenty of things to be aware of and good pointers to know before booking, and I'm here to help explain them to you.
For starters, spend plenty of time considering the type of vacation that you want to go on and the location you want to choose. There are tons of different types of all-inclusive vacations. Plenty are designed for families, and include kid-friendly activities for all ages, and other vacation packages are more geared towards couples, and are suited for adult-friendly relaxation, including spa treatments and plenty of adult beverages. Make sure you that factor location in as an important detail. Traveling abroad should always be approached responsibly, as safety is a number one priority. Crime rates can be much higher than expected in certain regions or cities, and also keep in mind the distance and amount of time it will take to get to and from the airport.
Also, weigh the options of your desired cost versus your desired experience. Budget will always be a huge factor in any vacation-based decision that you make, and remember that more expensive options will likely include more options in general and of a nicer nature, than some less expensive options, which may limit the ways in which you may be able to enjoy yourself. For instance, having access to unlimited top-shelf liquors and unlimited spa treatments may be much preferable (but also much more expensive than) to only being served food buffet style and having to pay for any relaxation services you decide to treat yourself too. So while one hotel may look much cheaper from the outside, read the fine print the see what it includes that factor in what kind of bills you may be looking at at the end.
Thirdly, consider your dining options and beverage offerings as well. Take special note of how many and the types of meals that are offered each day. There are no uniform rules with all-inclusive getaways or hotels, however a majority of hotels do indeed provide three full meals a day, snack options, and quite often as well a late night offering for food. Beverage inclusions may vary greatly too. Some of the more expensive options might include unlimited drinks all day every day, including liquor, whereas other place that are more moderately priced might only include complimentary beer and wine. In every single case, however, water, soda and other non-alcoholic beverages should be provided at no extra charge.
Finally, definitely consider the activities that are available. Each company will include a number of activities that are covered, however some may not be, and often those are the ones that are the most sought out, including jet skiing, scuba diving, and golf. Do your research, and then, enjoy your vacation!
