Raise your hand if you've been to an all-inclusive trip. I have and I love them.

When I think of this type of vacation, I envision the aquamarine water, cooling sand, sensuous smells from the grill and of course, tropical drinks.

So a common question that we receive is: are all-inclusive worth the money?

It depends, so let’s explore:

The advantage is you know exactly how much your trip is supposed to cost and you get everything in the hotel grounds for free so you can eat, drink and play as much as you want.

When you have a family or you plan to hang out and drink and eat all day, this fits nicely because having to pay several times for a non-inclusive events equates to many large bills.

The major difference is that if you want to try new foods, seek out new experiences and take excursions these are costs more suited for non-inclusive.

The bottom line is that pre-paid trips are designed for people to hang out, chill and party without restriction so it is important to understand what you plan to do on your trip and what you want to spend.

Now before you book here are some bonus tips: if you want an adult experience, seek resorts that are 18 or 30 years and over, and if you want to take excursions some resorts allow you to visit their sister properties.

Lastly, keep some cash in your pocket. Although you are not required to tip, giving a five spot here and there mixed-in with some singles over the course of a week, often gets you better service leading to the little perks that no one tells you about.
