On an all inclusive holiday your flights, transfers, hotel, three meals a day and local drinks are paid for before you leave the UK, so the only money you spend out there is money you chose to spend. Snacks, evening entertainment, pools and kids' clubs are usually in there too. How far a hotel takes it varies, so the hotel page is worth a read.
All inclusive holidays run on one principle: pay once, then stop counting. Buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are standard at almost every all inclusive hotel, with local beer, wine, spirits and soft drinks poured through the day. Plenty of resorts go further, adding à la carte restaurants, afternoon snacks and watersports off the beach. What differs is how far each hotel takes it, which is why the hotel page matters more than the destination.
The appeal is control. Settle the biggest costs before you fly and the holiday stops being a running tally: no negotiating over ice creams, no maths at the pool bar, no sting on the last morning either. It is why the board basis suits families and fortnight-long stays best, and why close to half of all UK summer bookings now go this way.
