The idea of an all-inclusive holiday is to enjoy your time with as little fuss as possible. Everything you need, from accommodation and meals to entertainment and activities, is all available in one place. Not just that, since you’ve paid for it all upfront, you can now enjoy ultimate relaxation with zero worries about budgeting.
However, while the concept itself is highly familiar, the different types of all-inclusive resorts may leave you questioning what’s right for you. So, this guide will help you understand the most common options.
Family-friendly resorts
Family-friendly all-inclusive resorts are perhaps the most common, designed to entertain both parents and children. These hotels typically have a huge variety of amenities and activities, so families barely need to leave the resort, unless they wish to go shopping or explore the surrounding attractions.
For instance, Ocean all inclusive resorts in Cancun or Punta Cana boast multiple pools, including children’s pools and jacuzzis, water parks, bowling alleys, theatres, discos and other family-friendly entertainment. They also have dozens of buffets and restaurants, catering to a range of tastes (even the picky eaters!). It makes the holiday super convenient, especially for those with young children.
Adults-only escapes
Those seeking a more tranquil getaway or a romantic escape will typically opt for an adults-only resort. The clue is in the name – these all-inclusives are for mature guests only, bringing a higher level of serenity and refinement. The pools are usually more quiet, featuring cocktail bars, the dining experiences are more gourmet, including fine dining restaurants, and the entertainment is catered towards adult audiences.
Besides general adult-only hotels, there are also options for special occasions, such as honeymoons. For example, Ocean offers all-inclusive resorts for weddings and celebrations as well as privilege packages. These provide an even more deluxe experience, with luxury spas and private beachfronts.
Wellness retreats
Wellness retreats are types of all-inclusive resorts that focus on soothing your body and mind. A lot of the features are the same as family-friendly or adults-only hotels but, in addition to the usual facilities, you’ll typically have various wellness activities. This could be spa experiences, like saunas, massages, facials, hydrotherapy and beauty treatments, or holistic activities, such as yoga classes and meditation. This is the place to go if you’re looking for utmost relaxation, spoiling yourself in every way possible!
Activity-focused resorts
If you have a passion for a particular type of sport, this one is for you. Activity-focused resorts are aimed at adventure-seekers, who want the convenience and relaxation of an all-inclusive hotel, while still spending their holiday activity.
The activity in question could be absolutely anything, depending on the hotel. The Ocean Vilas Tennis Academy resorts, for instance, are focused on tennis fanatics, featuring 8 tennis courts and a multi-sports court in a single resort. Similarly, you can find resorts with golf courses, fitness programmes or water sports, including kayaking and snorkeling.
Something for every taste and preference
Whether you just want an easy and relaxing holiday with the whole family or a more niche hotel, catering to your unique interest, there’s a perfect match for you. Ocean all inclusive resorts, alone, have a number of different experiences to choose from, all situated in prime locations across the Caribbean.
