Questions we hear most
What does all inclusive actually include?
At a true all inclusive, your room, all meals and snacks, drinks, non motorized water sports, entertainment, and tips are included. Spa treatments, excursions, premium wine lists, and some specialty restaurants are usually extra.
How much does an all inclusive vacation cost?
For a week in Mexico or the Caribbean, plan on roughly $1,800 to $3,500 per couple at a comfortable four star resort, $4,000 to $7,000 per couple at a luxury property, and more for butler level suites or overwater rooms.
What is the difference between Sandals and Beaches?
Sandals is couples only, two adults per room, built around romance and quiet. Beaches is the family version from the same company, with kids clubs, water parks, and larger suites. Same included style, very different crowd.
Are adults only resorts worth it?
If you are traveling without kids and want quiet pools and calmer dining rooms, yes. If you are traveling with children or a mixed age group, a strong family resort with good kids programming will make everyone happier.
