WHEN TO GO ALL-INCLUSIVE
You’ll especially enjoy an all-inclusive trip if
you’re:
• A budgeter. Knowing how much you’ll pay up front will
take your mind off your pocketbook when you’re in the moment.
• Indecisive. With your dining options at your fingertips,
you won’t have to worry about figuring out where to go and how to
get there.
• Active. Many all-inclusive resorts contain water activities
(diving, sailing) and sports (tennis, golf) as part of the fee. Others
include activities like horseback riding, hiking, and fishing.
Depending on your location, some may even offer cultural
excursions.

Trips page for recommendations on all-inclusive hotels, resorts, and
cruises worldwide.
