It's always a good time for a Caribbean getaway, whether you're fleeing the doldrums of winter or you want to treat yourself to some well-deserved R&R. An all-inclusive Caribbean resort satisfies all your needs for relaxing escape.
What is included in all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean?
Just like all those shells you'll find on the pristine white sands, each resort has a slightly different definition of all-inclusive. Most will include food and non-alcoholic beverages, with several offering domestic beers and some cocktails. Certain on-site activities and premium dinners may cost extra.
There are some resorts that really lean into the “all” part of all-inclusive. The Grand Bahia Principe Jamaica includes all food and drinks, along with water sports like snorkeling and kayaking. The Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino includes food and drinks (with restrictions on the high-end stuff), but they also have a kids club, so parents can get some alone time.
How many Caribbean Islands are there?
A lot, actually. There are more than 7,000 islands in the Caribbean. The nation claiming the most islands is the Bahamas, with around 501.
Do you have to tip at an all-inclusive Caribbean resort?
The rule of thumb is tip what you feel comfortable giving. However, when service goes above and beyond, a couple bucks is always appreciated. (US Dollars are widely accepted).
How can I save money on an all-inclusive vacation?
One easy way to save money is booking something you'll need anyway at the same time—your flights. Make your flight and all inclusive resort booking into one easy package with expedia and save.
