About Me

The hubs and I at Moon Palace The Grand Cancun
The hubs and I at Moon Palace The Grand Cancun

Many travelers desire to vacation in places where they would have little responsibility. Some travelers want to get away from their normal lives and not think about schedules, itineraries, or organizing. If this describes you, you may want to consider an all-inclusive resort for your next vacation. Here are some of the many advantages:

Everything in Advance

In most cases, paying for your room up front is just the beginning. Once you get to your destination, you still must pay for every meal, every drink, and every show. If you’re staying at an all-inclusive resort, you can put your wallet away. Once you’ve paid in full for your stay, you’ve also paid in full for meals, beverages (yes, alcoholic beverages too), and most activities too.

Stress-Free

Something about knowing everything is taken care of for you is very relaxing. No more searching google for a reputable restaurant; you’ll have plenty of options when at your resort. If, by chance, you don’t love the restaurant you’ve selected, simply get up, and head to the next one. Remember, you paid for unlimited meals and drinks.

Destination Options

Most all-inclusive resorts are found in some of the most beautiful locations you’ll ever see. If it requires a passport and has a beautiful beach, it most likely has an all-inclusive resort. From Aruba to Zanzibar, you will have a plethora of destination options.

A Fit for Every Budget

There is a resort for every budget! If you’re taking a last-minute trip with a limited budget, you can have a great time at a RIU or Holiday Inn Resort. If you’ve saved up for this trip, and you demand nothing but the best, check out a Zoetry or Karisma Resort. 

Activities

If you like, you can lay out by the pool all day long. But if you are looking for something more to do, check out some of the activities at the resort. Morning Yoga, organized poolside games, snorkeling, or nighttime pool parties, there is always something to do. 

You Can be Social

Since you’ll be seeing the same faces while on vacation, why not make a new friend? Team up for a game of volleyball or meet up at the on-resort nightclub.

The Rooms

The rooms at all-inclusive resorts can genuinely elevate your experience. If you’re not picky, choose a standard room and save a few dollars. But, if you’re looking to experience luxury, keep in mind:

  • An oceanfront room will give you a direct view of the ocean from your room.
  • In an ocean-view room, you’ll be able to see the ocean from your room but you may not be directly facing the ocean.
  • A swim-out will allow you to step out of your room directly into the pool.
  • Skyview room is a 2-story room with a jacuzzi on the roof
  • Overwater bungalows offer stand-alone accommodations that are positioned over the ocean. 

 

Fun for Kids

If you need vacation options that make all members of your family happy, an all-inclusive family resort might be your best option! Resort brands like Beaches, Nickelodeon, or Dreams are the perfect place for you to rest and relax while the kids enjoy pre-planned activities just for them.

No Surprises

Have you ever checked into a hotel thinking you’ve paid in full for your stay only to be hit with RESORT CHARGES? If you’ve stayed in Vegas or Puerto Rico, you’re probably nodding your head. Be prepared to breathe a sigh of relief because there are no surprises and no additional fees at all-inclusive resorts.

Transportation

When you get off the plane and grab your bags, you’ll see a sign for taxis. You can completely ignore this sign because an all-inclusive resort package usually comes with a roundtrip airport shuttle.  

A stress-free, family-friendly, safe vacation with all-you-can-eat and all-you-can-drink menus, what more could you ask for in a trip? The only real con is the number of great options might just overwhelm you. So, when you’re ready to book an all-inclusive vacation, get in touch with me for help!

I wanted to plan a trip to the Dominican Republic with a group of friends to celebrate a birthday but was worried about the COVID restrictions and keeping everything organized. Angela calmed my nerves by answering all my queries, and if she didn’t have the answer, she went above and beyond to get them. She was organized, and her availability was unmatched. The resort and the excursions were like no other. We truly had an amazing time and can’t wait to travel more!
