Dear Mrs. Dupa,
When planning a tropical resort vacation in destinations like Mexico,
the Caribbean, the Bahamas or Costa Rica, travelers can choose between
an all-inclusive resort or a traditional hotel.
At an
all-inclusive resort, accommodations, meals, alcoholic and
nonalcoholic beverages and most activities are wrapped into a single
rate that is paid upfront. At a
traditional hotel, you pay for
only the room rate, fees and taxes in advance and buy everything else as
you go.
Each option has some advantages, and I've outlined them below. I've also
provided links to lists of great resorts in each category, organized by
destination.
All-Inclusives
There are two main benefits of all-inclusive resorts: Bundling
everything together for one price generally is cheaper than buying
components separately, and you can budget for your trip ahead of time.

to see all of our all-inclusive resorts right now.
All-inclusives are perfect for people who consider the resort itself to
be their destination and who want to simplify meal planning and
transportation after arrival. You won't need to rent a car or spend time
searching for restaurants. Most all-inclusives offer plenty of planned
activities to keep guests of all ages entertained.
The main potential drawback to this option is that you've paid for all
meals and drinks in advance, so if you visit an off-site restaurant or
bar, you're essentially paying twice for whatever you order. It's also
worth noting that there are a few things that cost extra on these
vacations, such as spa treatments.

Traditional Hotels
When you choose a traditional hotel or resort, your vacation can be more
flexible and customized. Since the upfront cost only covers lodging,
you'll never pay extra for something you don't use.
Traditional hotels are good options for people who want to explore the
destination and local culture and sample a variety of restaurants beyond
their hotel or resort. They are a little harder to budget because you
can't always anticipate what you might end up spending on meals and
activities during your trip.
