LESS Money. LESS Worry. MORE Beach.
Beach vacations don't have to break the bank, especially when you opt for one that bundles all your vacay needs in one package price! All-inclusive resorts allow you to indulge without having to reach for your credit card every time you want to eat, drink or do something fun. You can actually sit back, relax and enjoy your vacation without the looming stress of what your total vacation cost will come out to. Need some MORE convincing? Here's a breakdown of what you get at an all-inclusive resort versus a vacation home rental.
All-Inclusive Resorts vs. Vacation Home Rentals
-
Food
Food
All-Inclusive Resort: You already paid for it! Enjoy access to unlimited dining all vacay long.
Vacation Home Rental: Time to pull out the wallet. Prepare for out-of-pocket grocery store and restaurant expenses.
-
Drinks
Drinks
All-Inclusive Resort: You already paid for it! Enjoy access to unlimited alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages all vacay long.
Vacation Home Rental: Time to pull out the wallet… again. Prepare for out-of-pocket liquor store and restaurant expenses.
-
Amenities
Amenities
All-Inclusive Resorts: Resort guests can enjoy access to awesome pools, swirling Jacuzzis, boozy swim-up bars, comfy beach loungers, a soothing spa and so much MORE!
Vacation Home Rentals: Not all vacation rentals are created equal. If you want a rental with awesome amenities (like one with a pool that’s also close to the beach), expect a hefty nightly rate.
-
Activities
Activities
All-Inclusive Resort: Resort guests can spice up their daily vacay routines with resort activities at no additional cost. Think snorkeling, kayaking, volleyball tournaments, morning water aerobics and themed parties.
Vacation Home Rental: Your host might have a deck of cards hidden in a cabinet but prepare to B.Y.O.E. (bring your own entertainment) or worse… pay extra for it.
-
Childcare
Childcare
All-Inclusive Resort: Supervised childcare and activities at the kids club for the little ones, peace and quiet by the pool for you–it’s safe to say you and your kiddos will love an all-inclusive resort.
Vacation Home Rental: Sadly, one of the many fees that come with a vacation rental does not include supervised childcare just steps away from the pool. That peace and quiet will come at an added cost.
-
Cleaning
Cleaning
All-Inclusive Resort: Head out for a day in the sun and come back to a clean room, made bed and fresh towels. Housekeeping will take care of cleaning throughout the entirety of your vacation with no additional cleaning fee.
Vacation Home Rental: Head out for a day in the sun and come back to the mess you left behind. When it comes to checkout, get ready to roll up your sleeves, take out the trash and tidy up. Oh, and don’t forget to pay the cleaning fee!
-
Concierge
Concierge
All-Inclusive Resort: Maybe you want to add a little something to your vacay–a trip to the spa or a day of adventure. Head to the concierge and let them do all the planning for you! They’re connected to the best tour operators and will get you awesome discounts.
Vacation Home Rental: You’re the concierge. Start your research now!
-
Booking Experience
Booking Experience
All-inclusive Resort: You can book your flight, hotel, airport transfers AND excursions with CheapCaribbean. Talk about convenience!
Vacation Home Rental: You book your rental. Now what? Well, you get to start all over and book all the other necessities. Don’t lose track of those reservation numbers!
-
Price
Price
All-Inclusive Resort: Vacation packages not only make for a seamless booking experience, but they give you the best beach value! Your payment includes everything you need for an awesome time in the tropics. Cheers!
Vacation Home Rental: The nightly rate you see is just the beginning. Don’t forget to factor in the service fee, cleaning fee and laundry list of out-of-pocket expenses.
