Why Book an All-Inclusive?

I was a travel agent for several years, and I still get friends and family who send me text messages or emails, asking me for advice when they're planning their beach vacays. If you live in North America, when you're on the hunt for a beach holiday, you have a number of options. You could book yourself into a hotel and book your flight separately. You could book an apartment or condo, especially if you plan on staying for a long period of time. But by far, the most popular way of booking a holiday, is to book yourself an all-inclusive type holiday. What does that mean? Well, it means exactly that, everything is included. Your flight, airport transfers, accommodation and meals (and in some cases, alchohol) are bundled together for one price. Now let's have a look at why going all-inclusive might be the best option for you:

1) They offer the best value for money. If you're a student,  your vacation schedule is fairly tight, and you're not necessarily looking to stay in a hostel, this is undoubtedly the best option for you. If you're going to a school like Kaplan Online, most of your cash-ola is eaten up by tuition, books and life! All-inclusive packages virtually take care of every necessary expense. All you have to do is show up, eat and be merry!

2) Pre-paying puts you at ease! It's sooo much easier to put a budget together when you've got 90% of it taken care of. Transportation, food and housing costs make up the bulk of our budgets back home, and when you're on vacay, in most places, the case is the same. But once this is all taken care of, you can start saving up for tours, or, even better, you can just relax! 


3) The options are endless! There are thousands of all-inclusive destination options around the Caribbean and Central America. You can dance a little salsa outside a cafe in Havana, surf the waves in Costa Rica or sip margaritas in Mexico. Whether you're on vacay for a quick week, or taking your time on a two week vacation of a lifetime, going all-inclusive is definitely the way to go!
