5 Mistakes to Avoid at an All-Inclusive Resort

An All-Inclusive resort vacation sounds like a dream! Imagine it: white sand beaches stretching out as far as the eye can see, impeccable service where your every wish is their command, never ending mouthwatering food, and every conceivable amenity just waiting for you. It's a slice of paradise, tailor-made for your enjoyment.
​
But here's the thing - every paradise has its pitfalls. To keep this dreamy vacation from turning into a regrettable nightmare, there are a few costly mistakes you'll want to steer clear of.

Choosing the wrong resort

Not all resorts are created equal. They vary wildly based on the quality of service, variety of food, available amenities, and offered activities. But the biggest considerations? Location, theme, and guest demographics. Picture what you truly want. A romantic getaway? A family adventure? A serene escape into the wilderness? Start there, and let the research guide you to your perfect match.

Overindulging

The allure of "all you can eat and drink" is strong, we know. And while it might seem like a great idea to taste-test three pounds of prime rib followed by a gallon of ice cream because, well you can, its probably not the best idea. And this goes for the cocktail menu too! Moderation is your friend here. You want to enjoy your vacation, remember it, and not spend it feeling like you're nursing a food baby or a hangover 24/7. 

Staying at the resort the entire time

Sure, the resort is stunning - but there's a while world outside those gates! Most all-inclusive resorts sit in locations chosen for their exquisite beauty and rich culture. So, why not explore a bit? Plan at least one excursion to immerse yourself in the local vibes. Trust us, you won't regret it.

Not getting to know the staff

A smile, a friendly "hello", and making the effort to learn the names of the staff members can enhance your stay in ways you can't even imagine. When staff feel seen and appreciated, they often go out of their way for guests they've made a connection with. This can be a game-changer if you find yourself in need of some extra assistance or if you're simply looking for an added touch of magic during your stay.

Staying “plugged in”

Disconnect to reconnect - it’s a mantra worth adopting. While it might be tempting to keep everyone updated on your tropical escapades in real-time, consider unplugging. Remember why you wanted this vacation. Immersing yourself fully in the experience will refresh you in ways scrolling never can.

bonus - never skip travel insurance

And the golden rule to cap it all: NEVER SKIP TRAVEL INSURANCE! Did you know your usual medical insurance throws up its hands once you step off American soil? Yep, you're on your own in case of a medical emergency. Trust us, travel insurance is not the place to skimp!
