What is All-Inclusive?

All-Inclusive is a hotel board basis and although the details may vary slightly from property to property, it means that you pay upfront for all your food and drink throughout your stay. Meals, such as breakfast, lunch and dinner are all included and most hotels will include some kind of daytime snacks as well. Drinks, this is what really separates All-Inclusive from Full Board (where your 3 main meals are also covered) All-Inclusive will include your drinks throughout your stay, both alcoholic and non, there are normally some limitations to this, some top-shelf spirits, for example, are normally charged at an extra cost but for the most part, you will be able to eat and drink to your heart’s content without worrying about the cost.

If the hotel or resort you are staying in boasts several restaurants onsite, not all of the restaurants may be included in the package and special a la carte restaurants may incur an extra charge but are well worth it as an extra special treat.

Find your ideal cheap all-inclusive holiday! Lots of hotels now offer great all-inclusive options. Food, snacks and drinks are served at set times throughout the day with some hotels even offering a 24 hour all-inclusive for guests who are partial to a midnight snack.

All-Inclusive Holidays don’t need to be expensive! There are lots of destinations and resorts worldwide that offer great all-inclusive holidays to suit all tastes and budgets. So whether you are a couple looking for a relaxing adult’s only week away or a family looking for a beach holiday from 3-star to 5-star hotels you’re sure to find a great deal whatever time of year!

Why Choose An All-Inclusive Holiday?

There are reasons to choose any kind of holiday really, it’s about finding the best fit for you and your needs. All-Inclusive typically offers better value than some of the other options, especially for families as the cost of food and drink throughout your holiday soon adds up, with all-inclusive there’s nothing to worry about, it’s all paid for and you can eat and drink as much as you like.

Another reason all-inclusive can be a great option is how easy it makes things, no wondering where to eat, no searching internet reviews to find a local restaurant that can cater to everyone, it’s all provided for you by the hotel, of course, if you want to go out for an evening you can, just don’t forget to take your wallet!
