All-Inclusive vacations in Costa Rica are said to be experiences of rare experience; that you lose yourself in the sprawling fields of trees and flora; and the mountains, they too are soaked in deep greens, surging and dipping along a baby blue sky. Costa Rica travel is something of Hollywood movies, and stories of secluded islands. When combined, the convenience of an all-inclusive, and the cinematic landscape of the country, what you are left with is one of the premier and underestimated Caribbean locales in the world.
But what to consider before you book a holiday-first, talk to your friends about their own all-inclusive experiences, read reviews on travel sites, and scour the travel blogs. Although every story is the product of opinion, it can help to develop a consensus. While some locations like Punta Cana and Cancun follow a thematic trend of high-level entertainment and persistent partying, others like, well, Costa Rica or Madrid are geared towards a more mature, more laid-back clientele.
When you do decide on the location, poll the area's all-inclusive hotels; discover what all is actually included in the package. Some places tack on additional charges for a la carte restaurants, water sports, premium alcohol, gratuity, airport transfers, golf, medical help, and Internet access.
Do you plan on excursions beyond the hotel's property? If so, budget for 3rd party tours. And if you brought the kids along, factor in potential babysitting fees.
Beaches should also play an important role in the decision making process. Some beaches like the majority of those in los Cabos may be un-swimmable, so it's necessary to do a little investigatory work, prior.
All these factors considered, a passport and a wallet of exchanged currency should be your only other worries; because your all-inclusive holiday should be just that-a stress-free holiday.
