Find Cheap Airfares - Tips and information on discount travel

You’ve probably heard of all inclusive vacations, but where are the best places to take these vacations? After all, not every place offers them. In addition, what is included in these “all inclusive” rates once you get there?

1. Cruise ships

Most cruises are still included to be all inclusive. Whether you’re going to the Bahamas or to Alaska, you can plan on most of the things on your ship being included in your total price. Of course, there will still be some things that you have to pay for separately. If you eat outside of the buffet or ship’s main dining room then you’ll have to pay for that. You’ll also have to buy your own drinks (that includes soda), do your own tipping, purchase your own souvenirs, pay for your own spa services, use your own money to gamble, and shell out the cash for your shore excursions. However, the price of your room, the use of pools and most of the shows, and 3 meals a day are all included in the price.

2. Cancun

Cancun is an excellent place to find an all inclusive vacation. There are numerous resorts that offer this option. In Cancun, you can typically expect to find a resort on the beach that will include your meals, your drinks, your entertainment, and use of whatever extracurricular activities they have. You might have to pay extra for certain things, like scuba diving equipment and extra drinks, but for the most part “all inclusive” does live up to its name.

3. Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico might be short on all inclusive resorts, but the Copamarina Beach Resort and Spa in Guanica is a good one. It has 20 acres of land and half a mile of beachfront property. Their packages start at less than $400 per night and include unlimited juice and soft drinks, 3 meals a day, and non-motorized water sports. You can also get unlimited international alcoholic beverages during bar hours.

4. Sandals Resorts

There are Sandals Resorts located in Jamaica, St. Lucia, Antigua, and the Bahamas. At Sandals, you will find 11 restaurants, suites with 4 poster beds and marble bathrooms, 24 hour room service, a great scuba diving program, swim up bars and access to other Sandals resorts. Nearly everything is included in the price of a stay-including airfare.

5. Atlantis

No doubt you have heard of Atlantis, located in the Bahamas. While this is not an “all inclusive resort” per se, you can book a lot of things together. Their website gives you the choice of adding airfare to your stay, as well as adding on extras so that at least most things are paid for at once. You can also add on a casual dining plan or a gourmet dining plan option so that your meals are included in the price as well. Other things that you will have access to are their beaches, 141 acre Water Park, casino, climbing facility, and small island cruises.

These vacations not only offer the convenience of paying for everything at once, but also come out cheaper in the end in most cases than if you had paid for the items separately.
