all-inclusive resorts

Prepaid vacation complexes

All-inclusive resorts are vacation accommodations where a single upfront price covers lodging, meals, drinks, and often entertainment and activities.

The model appeals to travelers who want predictable costs and convenience: We booked an all-inclusive resort so we wouldn't have to think about money once we got there.

These properties are particularly common in Caribbean and Mexican beach destinations.

The quality varies widely—some are budget-friendly family spots, others are luxury adults-only retreats.
