- Consumer expert Sue Hayward’s savvy finance tips and advice

Going all-inclusive means paying one price for your holiday – so no need to take any extra cash, unless you want some souvenirs.

Worries over Brexit and exchange rates mean more of us are looking to book an all-in deal this summer, according to travel experts at travelsupe­rmarket.com.

And these trips can save you money, with a seven-night all-inclusive trip to Cor fu in May coming in at under £200 per person.

The top five most affordable allinclusi­ve package destinatio­ns are Spain, Morocco, Bulgaria, Turkey and Cor fu.

But before you get packing, here are my top tips on what to check first.

✦ How big is the resort? I went to Cuba on an all-inclusive and there were so many restaurant­s on site that you could eat at a different one every night. But smaller resorts may mean buffet dining at every meal in the same place.

✦ Are mealtimes fixed, or can you get food and drink around the clock – like a coffee and pastr y if you’re awake at 6am?

✦ If you enjoy a tipple, check which alcoholic drinks are included as it’s often only the local beers, wines and spirits.

✦ Some of the bigger resorts may include watersport­s, entertainm­ent or short trips as part of the package, but smaller ones may not.

And take a travel mug. Lots of bars ser ve drinks in small plastic cups. With a bigger mug, it saves popping back from the beach – plus you’ve got a lid on it!
