What does All-Inclusive mean? 
The third component of All-Inclusive vacations is beverages. All inclusive means both alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, another benefit you won't find on a cruise vacations. The higher rated resorts provide premium International drinks from well known brands, while the entry-level All-Inclusive may provide just domestic brands native to their destination. The mid-range All-Inclusives typically offer a mix of International beverages along with domestic types.
• One of the biggest draws for All-Inclusive resort vacations is the numerous recreation options included in the cost. This can include snorkeling, beach activities and even some excursions.
• Since your vacation is pre-paid and includes tips, you don't have to worry about hitting the beach and wondering where to stash your cash.
• Another big All-Inclusive resort hit is the all-you-can-eat-and-drink feature. With all the different dining options, including room service, you'll never go hungry at an All-Inclusive resort or have to worry about running up a large bar tab.
• Thinking of getting married? Many All-Inclusive resorts have facilities where you can get married. Rather than just spending your honeymoon on an island, you can get an All-Inclusive vacation that includes an exotic wedding as well. These deals often come complete with a wedding coordinator and other facilities to fulfill the wedding of your dreams. Afterwards, you can whisk yourself away to privacy in your exclusive room.
• All-Inclusive resorts are laid out in a family-friendly way with enclosures for each activity. The activities are usually clearly marked as to the age of their target audience and manned by resort personnel. This provides a safe environment for the entire family and removes some of the anxiety parents sometimes feel about traveling with their kids. Plus, with the array of activities offered, it’s also a fun way to try new things.
• If you’re traveling with small children, All-Inclusive resorts typically offer cribs, high chairs, etc. Even better: they often offer all beach equipment, from sand pails to volleyballs and kayaks.
• Time for YOU. NO need to pay a babysitter for an evening of fun and “alone-time.” Your resort’s cabaret show and romantic dinner is just steps away from your room (and the kid’s club where your children can happily play).
