Why All Inclusive?

Thinking about planning a tropical beach vacation? There are so many choices out there, but have you ever considered an all-inclusive resort? Let me tell you why you should!

My first all-inclusive experience was on my honeymoon, almost 14 years ago. We went to Sandals Negril in Jamaica, and it was absolutely amazing. Our room had a private pool, patio, outdoor shower, separate living area, and even butler service! Being pampered at the butler-level service was awesome, but honestly, I loved not having to make many decisions after planning a wedding. The most significant choice I had to make was whether to hang out at the pool or the beach that day and which on-site restaurant to dine at!

Now, with two kids, I love all-inclusive resorts because in my everyday life, I'm always on the go, making decisions for everyone. I'm a huge planner (which is why I started this side career!), so going to an all-inclusive resort is an opportunity to get away and have everything at my fingertips. I don't have to worry about how much dinner or drinks will cost or browse the area for top restaurants. Everything I need is on-site, and I can indulge in whatever I want.

What's more, I love that I pay a flat price for my whole vacation, and it includes almost everything I need. (Unless I want some extra pampering at the spa!) I don't need to have my credit card handy, and some all-inclusive resorts even have a no-tipping policy, so I don't need to carry cash either.

Doesn't that sound like a nice break from reality?
