All inclusive hotels - A hassle-free home from home
All inclusive hotels have been developed to ensure people can enjoy their holidays with the maximum peace of mind and the minimum hassle when away from home. The joy of an all inclusive holiday, whether you're in Cuba or Gran Canaria, is that you pay up front for accommodation, food, drinks and certain facilities and entertainment, so that during your visit there's no need to take your wallet or purse out of your room, or worry about tipping every time you order a coffee. All inclusive hotels tend to offer everything you need for a relaxing break, within one well-organised complex. You're likely to find a selection of bars and restaurants, a health club, kids club and swimming pools. Booking an all inclusive hotel deal may particularly appeal in remote regions where the local infrastructure is not geared to everyday tourist needs.
All inclusive hotels - From the Caribbean to the Red Sea
All inclusive hotels are particularly common in the resorts of the Caribbean such as Barbados, Aruba, Mexico and the Dominican Republic. You will also find a proliferation of all inclusive hotels in Indian Ocean resorts, such as the tropical islands of the Maldives and the Seychelles. Many of Egypt and Israel's Red Sea resorts also favour all inclusive hotels above traditional establishments. Even if you are heading as far as South East Asia for sun and relaxation, it's possible to find all inclusive hotels along the coast of Thailand and on the fabulous island of Bali. Closer to home, great late deal bargains, featuring all inclusive deals, can be found in the Balearics, the Canary Islands, Turkey and Portugal.
All inclusive hotels - Check exactly what's included in your deal
When booking a stay at an all inclusive hotel, its essential that you understand exactly what is included in your holiday booking. Many all inclusive hotels only offer locally produced alcoholic drinks and mixers, so don't assume your usual brands of gin and tonic will be part of the deal. Excursions beyond the all inclusive hotel of your choice and watersports are often charged as extras. Look into use of the Internet, spa treatments and whether or not kids' clubs are included in the upfront price. Two chilled out weeks in an all inclusive hotel will be truly relaxing, and easy to budget for, but most holiday makers do try to experience life beyond the resort, and experience local restaurants, shops, bars and sites to get a feel for the chosen destination and its people.
