What's included in an All Inclusive holiday?
All Inclusive = the ultimate holiday hack. Pay a bit extra to get all your food and drink included in your stay, and you’ll usually get activities thrown in, too. No need for spending money here – it’s all sorted before you go. If you pick a package holiday, the price you pay also covers your flights.
What’s included depends on where you’re staying, but in most places you’ll get breakfast, lunch and dinner at a buffet restaurant. That means dessert before your main or pizza all week long is so on – we don’t make the rules… If you love a bit of luxury, many of the more boujie resorts have à la carte dining included. Plus, nothing makes you hungrier than living your best life all day, which is why lots of hotels also have All Inclusive snack bars for ice-cream, cakes and sandwiches to keep you going between meals.
Let’s be real, the All Inclusive drinks are the biggest win. Piña coladas, no card required? Say less. Selected local brand alcohol is normally included as standard, but if it’s gotta be the real deal, look out for hotels with premium upgrades.
If your routine is pool, bar, buffet, repeat… crack on. But in lots of hotels, you’ll also get access to activities and facilities to switch up your schedule. From sunrise yoga and aqua aerobics to cooking classes and full-on beach volleyball tournaments, you can do as much or as little as you like. Lots of family-friendly resorts run their own kids’ clubs, while adults-only ones love things like spa sessions, guided meditation or cocktail-making masterclasses.
We were known as the ‘home of All Inclusive’ back in the day, and we’re still huge fans. No tab to pay when you check out, no awks convos about whose round it is, no checking of prices on menus… And if you want to spice things up and add an experience or go somewhere different for dinner, then it’s a great base for building out your break. Your budget’s set, your plan isn’t.
