If you have limited time for planning, an all-inclusive resort can relieve a lot of stress. Everything that you’d need to book—meals, activities, entertainment—is magically taken care of for you, sometimes at a fraction of the price you would pay a la carte. All-inclusives can be particularly appealing to families with young children, as many offer kids clubs, babysitters for after-hours hire, and family pools and water parks, giving parents the rare opportunity to actually relax.
On the flip side, if your family likes to support local restaurants and experience more off-the-beaten-path destinations, all-inclusives can feel more restrictive than a vacation rental or boutique hotel. For the best of both worlds, enquire about half-board packages.
