How to choose the right all inclusive holiday for you

18th March 2013 Print

Choosing an all inclusive holiday saves money and offers fantastic value all year round. Every detail from flights to airport transfers, as well as food and drinks are included in the price – so you can financially plan your holiday down to the last detail.

Of course, even though all the details – such as bookings and other arrangements – are done on your behalf, you still have to make the most important decisions when it comes to choosing the destination and dates.

Who is it for?

Many people who choose an all inclusive deal, do so because they are going on holiday with a larger group, such as a family with children or even a party of friends.

The advantages of using this type of package when it comes to a number of people being involved, is that it gives enough flexibility for everyone to enjoy themselves. It also makes a kind of 'level playing field' whereby everyone is catered for, meaning problems such as arguments about where to go to eat can be avoided.

Destination

Of course, picking a destination is one of the most fun parts of going on holiday and just because something is a bargain, doesn't mean it has to be a low quality version.

This becomes apparent when it comes to cheap all inclusive holidays, as all the major travel operators and tour companies offer packages to all the top destinations. Many people choose an all inclusive deal for a Mediterranean holiday; whether it is the family friendly resorts of Portugal and Spain, or the many idyllic beachside destinations found in Italy, Turkey, Cyprus or Greece.

Long Haul flights can make a holiday seem more of an exotic adventure and that's why one of the most popular destinations for all inclusive holidays is a vacation to Florida. With the range of attractions offered by Walt Disney World, it is no surprise that going to the 'sunshine state' is such a favourite with people of all ages.

When to go?

The time of year you choose to book your holiday can have an effect on the prices you will pay and how busy the resort is. 'Out of season' offers can be good for those on a tight budget as well as people who like a slightly quieter holiday. However, many people choose 'high season', in the summer, because of work or school commitments, as well as the virtual guarantee of good weather in many popular destinations.

With the wealth of choice on offer, choosing the right deal can be confusing, which is why so many people use a personal travel advisor to help them make a decision. By offering friendly and experienced advice and having access to the very best deals on the market, a travel advisor can make the difference between booking a good holiday and a truly great one.
