All-inclusive is brilliant for some holidays and a velvet trap for others. The brochure sells ease. Your job is to price the week you will actually live.
It suits you if…
- You want fewer decisions and a predictable daily spend.
- You are travelling with kids who will use the buffet and pool hard.
- The resort is the destination, not a base for exploring towns.
Skip it if…
- You care about local restaurants and neighbourhood evenings.
- You barely drink, and the package price assumes you do.
- Premium restaurants and water sports still cost extra — read the small print.
