Whether you admit it or not, there are a lot of stereotypes when it comes to having an all-inclusive vacation. Some might say that it’s not a vacation because you eliminate the thrill of planning. Others believe that it’s too tailored, limiting and less authentic.

Holiday vacations are evolving thanks to the constant change of our culture, society and of course technology.

All-inclusive means all expenses are paid upfront. Usually, it covers all the basics including transportation, accommodation, amenities, food and more depending on what else your chosen vacation can offer. So unless you go crazy over souvenirs and side trips, overspending is the last thing you should worry about.

One of the most expensive parts of going on holiday is the food and excursions. But with an all-inclusive package, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and everything in between will keep on rolling all day. You get to enjoy the pool, amenities, and excursions and most likely you’ll get what you expected. If you love cocktails, free-flowing local cocktails are available as well. Sometimes you can have access to premium spirits too. Plus, you can get to try new things like scuba diving, extreme off-road adventures and more without shedding extra money.

Paying all-inclusive also means convenience. Forget about searching for tours to book or looking for a restaurant with the highest Yelp rating that is not as expensive. If you’re in a resort, you don’t have to book a car rental to go out from the hotel grounds, just go to the lobby and the staff is more than willing to drive you around the nearest town. Everything is taken care of.

An all-inclusive package will always have something for everyone like a camp for the kids, a spa for mom and golf for dad. There will be minimal planning, guilt-free time for yourselves and cheaper to especially if you have a big family.

Not all resorts or cruises that offer “all-inclusive” means you can get everything you want. Also, some resorts or cruises try and sneak in hidden charges if you are not careful enough – this is why all-inclusive” got a bad rep in the past.

There are a lot of variations when it comes to inclusivity and it all depends on how much you are willing to pay. You can opt for luxurious buffet food and 3 to 5-star accommodation or you can choose a simple R&R with buffet and drinks round the clock. Again, it all depends on your budget. So before you book your kosher resort, hotel or cruise of choice, research first what’s included in your package. Remember, having the best holiday vacation is still up to you.
