All-inclusive: what to check

Check what's really included

“All-inclusive” doesn't always mean everything. Check what's covered for drinks, room service and à la carte restaurants.

The beach matters

Some hotels have a well-kept beach, others a wilder one. Look at recent guest photos, they tell you the most.

Adults only or family-friendly?

Some resorts are adults-only, others have kids' clubs. The vibe is completely different, so choose based on your trip.

Getting there from the airport

Ask whether the transfer is included and how long the drive takes. After a long flight, it makes all the difference.

Our advice

A slightly less luxurious resort right on the water is often better than a big name far from the sea.
