What’s included on an All Inclusive holiday?

You may associate All Inclusive with the type of package holidays you’d go on with your parents when you were a kid. And, while we have plenty of exciting family holidays available, All Inclusive resorts offer so much more than a buffet restaurant and a kids’ club. For example, many of our resorts and hotels are adults only, so you can enjoy that prepaid pina colada in peace.  

 When you opt for an All Inclusive getaway, your flights, airport transfers, hotel, food, drinks (both boozy and non-alcoholic), snacks and activities are included in the price. Depending on your booking, you may get one (or more) meals from any à la carte restaurants on site so you can dine in style, or access to spa treatments or other upgraded facilities. 

 All this means you don’t have to worry about budgeting your spending money, or digging out change for ice-cream every five minutes (if you’re anything like us), keeping your holiday as stress-free as possible. In fact, going All Inclusive can actually be kinder to your bank account than Full Board, Half Board or Bed and Breakfast, so follow our lead and get ready to go all-in. 

What food is included with an All Inclusive holiday?

At the majority of our All Inclusive hotels, you’ll be able to let loose at an all-you-can-eat, buffet-style restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. To dine in style, some hotels have à la carte restaurants included and extra snacks like beach barbecues, ice-cream shacks or late-night crepe stations that you can help yourself to whenever the mood strikes. It’s worth noting that some restaurants incur an extra cost depending on the menu, so check with the resort for more info. 

  If you opt for a spot in the TUI SUNEO collection, you can dine on home-from-home comfort foods, with a mixture of buffet dishes and live cooking stations. Every TUI SUNEO resort comes with free WiFi too, so you can post pictures of every meal – because if it’s not on Instagram, did you even eat it?

What drinks are included with an All Inclusive holiday?

All Inclusive holidays include soft drinks as well as alcoholic drinks like beer, wine and local spirits, as standard. Yep – that means you can sit by the pool with booze on tap all day long (but obviously, please drink responsibly.) The specifics of what you get varies from hotel to hotel, so double check the fine print before booking to save being disappointed by a lack of prosecco when you get there. 

You can level up the luxury if you want to – in some places, drinks are served by poolside butlers, and some rooms even have built-in spirit optics. Many hotels include fancy cocktails as part of their All Inclusive package, too.  

What activities and entertainment are included with an All Inclusive holiday?

Daytime activities like tennis and aqua aerobics are available at most All Inclusive resorts, but things do vary depending on where you book. For example, high rope adventures and archery are included at family-friendly Holiday Villages.  And, unlimited access to a waterpark is part of the package on a SplashWorld holiday. 

 Come evening, entertainment, karaoke and live music are a given at lots of All Inclusive spots, with some hotels adding a few extras like quizzes or comedy nights.
