All inclusive vacations are increasingly popular with travelers who appreciate their convenience and value for money. A huge and varied range of all-inclusive packages are available, to suit all different budgets and tastes. The following are 10 reasons why your next vacation should be an all-inclusive one.
1. All inclusive vacations take the burden of planning off you.
2. You know exactly what your vacation will cost when you buy it- although you do need to check the small print, because some holidays include more than others. The Curtain Bluff resort in Fiji is truly all inclusive. The price covers all food and drink, activities and even cigars.
3. All-inclusive vacations can be cheaper, although this is not always the case. It’s a good idea to check what you would be paying if you were not taking a package deal, and you should also be wary of any upgrades or extras you are offered or you could end up spending a lot more than you had planned.
4. You don’t have to think about money while you are on vacation, so you can relax and enjoy yourself. Purpose built all-inclusive resorts are designed so that guests do not even have to carry money with them. At the Cayo Espanto in Belize, for example, there are no prices on the menus as everyone’s meals are included in their package.
5. You don’t have to struggle with local currencies and customs such as tipping and haggling.
6. You don’t have to choose your accommodation or make your plans from a distance, so you won’t end up disappointed. Everything will have been selected by the trip provider and will come up to their standards.
7. Nervous or first-time travelers have the security of knowing there is someone there to take care of them.
8. All-inclusive cruises and land tours arrange all transport and keep travelers on schedule. Guests at the Governors’ Camp in Kenya can take as many safaris as they like, for example.
9. There are some excellent resorts that provide high levels of service and personalized care. Choosing an all-inclusive vacation no longer means ending up in a characterless resort that looks the same as any other. Some packages are designed for special interests, and many can be customized to suit individual travelers. Travelers are no longer expected to join in with group activities and stick to strict plans; they can follow their own wishes. Belize’s Cayo Espanto has just five bungalows and guests can pass their whole vacation without bumping into any of their neighbors. Each bungalow comes with a houseman-butler and the chef consults with the guests every day in order to plan their meals.
10. You only have one decision to make: which provider to use.
Here are ten great reasons for all inclusive vacations. I would certainly like to know more, as I think that many vacation property owners would be willing to set up these packages if it increased their revenue.
