Are all-inclusive vacations worth it? Here’s everything you need to know

Are these trips worth the cost?

Tropical resort

If I close my eyes, I'm back at an all-inclusive resort in Mallorca, Spain, sipping cocktails by the pool. The sun is shining, the ocean breeze is perfect, and the best part? I don’t have to worry about a thing. Meals, drinks, and entertainment are all covered. To this day, it’s one of my favorite vacations, and the convenience was unbeatable.

But that got me thinking: are all-inclusive vacations really a good deal for everyone? While some travelers love the stress-free experience, others wonder if they’re overpaying for perks they won’t use.
