Less planning, more relaxing<\/strong><\/h2>\nOne of the biggest pros of going on an all-inclusive vacation is the ease of travel.\u00a0When you book a package, you don’t have to spend time searching for flights, browsing hotels, or coordinating airport pick-ups.\u00a0Everything is taken care of for you,\u00a0meaning you can start enjoying your trip sooner.<\/p>\n

You can still explore<\/strong><\/h2>\nOne of the arguments I always hear against all-inclusives is that “it’s not real travel”.\u00a0I have to disagree. Yes, there are travellers who may choose to stay at the resort the whole time, but if you want to explore, there are plenty of opportunities for you to\u00a0experience the destination.<\/p>\n
On your first morning at a\u00a0resort you usually attend a brief orientation meeting to help familiarize you with the services and activities available. This meeting also\u00a0highlights some of the possible day trips you can go on, which may include a visit to a neighbouring city, a\u00a0jeep safari around the island, or a day of snorkelling and beach\u00a0hopping.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Plenty of activities to take part in<\/strong><\/h2>\nResorts want to keep guests happy. For some travellers that means lounging under an umbrella with a daiquiri in hand, and for others it means having an active schedule.\u00a0If you’re in the latter category you’ll be spoiled for options.<\/p>\n
Do you want to learn to dance? Join\u00a0the daily\u00a0salsa and merengue lessons.\u00a0Worried about staying fit? There is yoga, pilates, tai chi, meditation, aerobics, aqua fitness, and volleyball\u00a0to choose from.\u00a0Prefer something a bit more laid back? Enjoy a game of giant chess or ping pong.<\/p>\n
While the idea behind an all-inclusive vacation is to unwind and relax, this doesn’t mean you\u00a0have to\u00a0spend the\u00a0whole week alternating between the beach and the pool – unless you want to, of course.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Lots of water fun<\/strong><\/h2>\nAnd that’s not\u00a0the end of the activities!\u00a0Down at the beach you can bounce around on a banana boat, go on a catamaran outing, or\u00a0take out a paddle boat.\u00a0Also, most resorts offer a free intro to scuba diving in the pool, so if that’s something that interests you, you can give it a try and decide if you want to pursue it further.<\/p>\n

Pools, pools, and more pools<\/strong><\/h2>\nAnother thing I like about resorts is that they have plenty of pools for you to choose from. The last resort I stayed at had two different pool areas:\u00a0one had\u00a0more of a party feel with\u00a0loud\u00a0club music and a dance floor, while the other was intended for adults who wanted a quieter environment where they could read a book and go for a relaxing swim. It was nice having an option to join the party or simply unwind.<\/p>\n
Oh, and both of these pool areas did have swim-up bars, so just because you want a quieter environment doesn’t mean you have to give up the drinks with the little umbrellas!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
All meals and beverages\u00a0are included<\/strong><\/h2>\nYes, that also means drinks!\u00a0One of the biggest expenses next to transportation and accommodations is food, however, the nice thing about an all-inclusive is that all your meals are already included in the price.<\/p>\n
Most resorts have buffet-style meals\u00a0for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus you can also order little snacks like pizzas and grilled sandwiches throughout the day. For a little variety, resorts also offer a couple of\u00a0a la carte dinners where you can dress up for a fancier evening.<\/p>\n

Nightly live entertainment<\/strong><\/h2>\nEven though I was usually wiped by the end of the day – sunshine, beaches, and\u00a0pi\u00f1a coladas will\u00a0do that to you – the festivities did not end\u00a0there. Once the sun went down the fun continued with live music, dancing, and drinks.<\/p>\n
