How to choose the best all-inclusive holidays
2

• All-inclusive holidays are more popular than
  ever. But not all packages offer the same value
  or level of service. These tips will help you to
  find the best all-inclusive holidays.

3
Finding the best holiday providers

• The biggest all-inclusive operator in the UK is
  First Choice, which only sells this type of
  holiday. Thomas Cook, Virgin Holidays, Kuoni and
  Hayes Jarvis also feature many all-inclusive
  options.

Finding the best-value holidays

• Its possible to find packages giving you a
  weeks worth of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks,
  drinks and activities for less than 700 per
  person, including flights. But as with any hotel,
  a cheap deal will still be poor value if the
  quality of food, amenities and service is bad.
  Remember that if you have booked a package and
  the reality differs from how it was described,
  you may be protected under the Package Travel
  Regulations.?

• All inclusive may not always be the best value
  option. Some hotels offer the option of staying
  on a BB or half board basis instead. Whether
  its worth going all-inclusive usually depends on
  how much you think youll be indulging in the
  all-inclusive 'freebies'.

What an all-inclusive adventure travel package
usually includes

• Buffet breakfast, lunch, dinner
• Snacks through the day (eg fast food, ice cream)
  Locally produced wine, beer, spirits and soft
  drinks
• Selected activities (eg aerobics, beach
  volleyball)
• Gym and swimming pools
• Childrens club (where the hotel has one)
• Entertainment (eg live music, nightclub)

7
Extra costs

• Food and drink
• Avoid buffet-only hotels. You'll end up eating
  elsewhere to avoid the monotony. At the very
  least, go for a deal that allows a handful of
  visits to the a la carte restaurant. Drink
  allowances vary too. At the cheaper end, you will
  get local beer, wine and spirits, but pay extra
  for international brands. Some hotels impose a
  curfew (11pm or midnight) on their free drinks.
  Bottled water is usually included, but it can be
  pricey and a hassle to buy if not.

• Activities.
• Non-motorised water sports, such as snorkelling
  and stand-up paddleboarding tend to be part of
  the package, but they are sometimes restricted.
  You're likely to pay extra for anything motorised
  or involving tuition. Many places also charge for
  using the billiards tables or sauna. Golf, bike
  hire and horse riding are occasionally provided
  on site, but tend to cost extra. Tennis is
  typically free. If you're looking for sporty
  holidays try Mark Warner or Neilson.

9
Additional extras

• You will almost always have to pay more for
  excursions, massages, visits to the hair salon,
  spa treatments and golf. Scuba diving is usually
  charged extra, although many packages include a
  free, one-off try dive. Some resorts have a
  strict no-tipping policy but, at others, staff
  will appreciate it if you tip as you go. Always
  check in advance.

10
Finding the best resorts

• All-inclusive holidays are appealing in new,
  undeveloped regions where there are few
  alternative restaurants, hotels and activities.
  But the downside is that many resorts are
  self-contained enclaves, sometimes miles from the
  nearest town. This can mean little immersion in
  local culture, and your tourist money goes to
  international chains, not the local economy.

11

• Find out the exact location before you go and ask
  if the hotel employs local people, pays a local
  living wage and sources food and products from
  the region. Also look for hotels audited and
  accredited under the Travelife scheme for
  sustainable tourism.
