All-inclusive vacations

Over the last few years, all-inclusive holidays have enjoyed something of a revival in popularity.

After all, they’re a great way to help you budget your holiday upfront as most costs are covered. Here we bring you our top tips to get the most from your all-inclusive holiday.

How do I find the best all-inclusive deal?

The most important thing to remember here is not to go straight for the cheapest price you find. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is! After all, a cheap deal may well be a reflective of a below standard hotel, poor quality food or underwhelming service – it always pays to do some background research! In the UK, some reliable options to explore are First Choice, Virgin Holidays and Kuoni.

What does an ‘all-inclusive’ actually include?

Although most things will be built-in to your all-inclusive holiday, don’t assume that absolutely everything will be free. You’re likely to get a buffet style unlimited breakfast, lunch and dinner, with set meals usually available to order at an extra cost. You’ll also get local wine, beer, spirits and soft drinks but imported and international drinks may cost extra. When it comes to entertainment, you’ll likely get the majority included such as swimming pools and snorkelling equipment, but more specialist sports or bike hire might be charged by the day.

Considering all of this, it’s always worth taking some local currency with you. Not sure which one you need for your destination? Check out our currency page for more information. Or, if you’re going to several destinations as part of your trip, our Travelex Money Card might be just what you need to safely carry multiple currencies all at once.

Venturing outside of the all-inclusive resort

During your holiday, you’ll probably want to stretch your legs a little and head out to see the sights of the local area around your resort. With some incredible cafés, shops and local attractions to visit in plenty of holiday destinations, you’re probably going to need some extra change for indulging in these.

So, if you’ve booked a last minute all-inclusive, make sure you order some travel money from us before you head off. Remember, with us, you can pick it up from as little as four hours later – so there’s no need to worry about rushing!
