FAQ: How to Choose the Right All-Inclusive Resort

Can’t decide on which adults-only all-inclusive resort is right for you? Here are a few tips to help you pick the right one.

Make a List of Priorities

Sit down with your travel group and list out what resort amenities are the most important for your vacation. Consider questions like: Is gourmet food a must-have? Do you need to have top-shelf cocktails included in the price? Will making reservations for dinner be a deal-breaker? Do you want nightly entertainment or something more low-key? Are you looking for an all-inclusive resort that caters more towards groups or couples? What overall vibe are you looking for? Is privacy important? Is a swim-up bar a must-have?

Make a Budget

The appeal of all-inclusive resorts is that everything is included in the price upfront… unless you pick a property where certain extras (like motorized water sports or airport transfers) are not included in the rate. Carefully read the rate details to find out what is truly included and factor that into your budget accordingly. Be sure to watch out for the dreaded resort fee, a daily surcharge that is sometimes tacked on (and is often only disclosed in the fine print, not the advertised rate). 

What Does Adults-Only Mean?

The definition of “adults-only” varies by resort. For some properties, this means guests must be 16 or older. At other resorts, “adults-only” means 21 and up. If you’re looking for a truly adult atmosphere, you might want to exclude resorts that allow teenagers. 

Is the All-Inclusive Adults-Only Resort Also Couples Only?

If you’re a group of singles going on a trip, you definitely don’t want to book a couples-only resort by accident. Likewise, if you’re looking for privacy and romance on your honeymoon, you might not want the party atmosphere that is sometimes found at adults-only resorts that cater towards groups. Be sure to carefully check the resort’s website along with reviews to see what type of traveler the experience is designed for. 

What Type of Room Do You Want?

If you’ll be spending lots of time in your room, you might want to splurge on an all-inclusive resort that has suites, cottages, or villas so you can have some extra space. However, if you plan on spending as little time as possible in your room, you should focus your search on properties with other amenities, like a variety of restaurants, beautiful sea views, activities, and entertainment.
