TIPS: BOOK THE BEST ALL-INCLUSIVE

What facilities do you want/need? Water sports lovers may prefer a different resort to those who simply want to sunbathe or use the spa, for example.

Double check exactly what is included. Is food included outside mealtimes? Do you have to pay extra for water skiing? Or the kids’ club?

Are you happy to eat in resort for most meals? If you’d rather explore and eat locally, you’ll end up paying for meals twice.

How about drinks? Often only local wine and spirits are included. You may be able to get your favourite brand too – but it could come at a price.

Most all-inclusive resorts will have at least one buffet restaurant, but you may want to check that any dietary needs are catered for.
