When it comes to choosing a holiday, there are lots of factors that can influence your decision. If you are going away with an extended group of friends or family, you might have to take into account the needs of a wide range of age groups, while a trip with a smaller group requires a more relaxed approach.

With the choice of accommodation and catering being another major part of planning, we explore some of the options you have with all-inclusive packages, from hotels to resorts.

All-inclusive

The whole idea of a holiday is to get away from it all and relax, but for many people, the planning involved can lead to unnecessary stress. This is why all-inclusive holidays are so popular. The idea that everything is looked after on your behalf by a team of dedicated and experienced professionals, means that the relaxation can start right from the beginning.

Choice

Today the range of choice in all-inclusive holidays covers the whole world – literally. Whether you want to have a classic short haul break in the Mediterranean or travel further afield for one of the wonderful all-inclusive holidays in Mauritius, choosing the option of all-inclusive doesn’t mean compromising on any aspect of your holiday.

Hotels

Hotels are the traditional option for holiday accommodation anywhere in the world and with all-inclusive holidays, you’ll find plenty of great options. Hotels involved in these types of packages offer a bumper package of facilities which cover basic amenities and more luxurious extras, so you can enjoy the holiday you deserve.

From on-site spas and relaxation areas to gyms, sports facilities and indulgent pool complexes, hotels with an all-inclusive deal provide plenty of choice.

Resorts

Another popular option for those taking an all-inclusive holiday is to stay in a dedicated holiday resort. These differ from a traditional hotel in the sense that the resort covers a much wider area, with even more facilities available. These include a variety of on-site eateries and restaurants, as well as shops and wider entertainment complexes with activities scheduled for all ages.

Resorts may also be connected to surrounding areas, offering visitors plenty of opportunity to visit local attractions. Some resorts even boast their own private beaches so that you can relax in the sun in complete safety and seclusion.
