What exactly is an “all-inclusive vacation”?
At an all-inclusive resort, you pay one flat price for your room, all meals and drinks and onsite entertainment! Entertainment options are vast and include activities like water sports, exercise classes, tennis, cooking classes, yoga, wine tastings, and kid/teen clubs.
Cost varies among resorts and there are options to fit all budgets. A typical range is $3,000 – 9,000 depending on how luxurious the property is, the location, and the type of resort (exclusive adult-only vs budget-friendly brand vs family resort).
Where are these all-inclusive resorts?
These types of vacation experiences are scattered all throughout the world and make up the bulk of the resorts in Mexico and the Caribbean. Here is where you can find all-inclusive resorts:
Which Hawaiian Island has all-inclusive resorts?
The answer may surprise you. There are, actually, NO all-inclusive properties in Hawaii. Some resorts offer a free breakfast, but that’s as close as it gets.
Are There Any All-inclusive Resorts in the United States?
The high cost of labor, property, construction, and everything else makes it too costly to sustain a stereotypical all-inclusive property. There are different types of resorts in the US that provide a similar structure, though (3 meals a day, onsite activities). Those are typically more “exclusive” higher end vacations, like dude ranches or wellness retreats.
When is This Type of Vacation a Good Fit?
Families budgeting for more than two people may particularly enjoy the ease of all-inclusive resorts, especially when traveling with children. In addition, if you’re looking to simply relax at a resort, and aren’t looking to do much in terms of exploring the city, countryside, or dining outside of the hotel – an all-inclusive getaway will definitely save you some money and time!
