Your answer to this question may vary as a result of the vacation format you're hoping for.

If you're on a tight budget, are traveling with your kids, or would like to control your expenses while visiting 5 star resorts, then you'll love an all inclusive resort hotel. These popular resorts cater to broad cross-sections of the traveling public and offer a wide variety of activities intended to keep guests of all ages happy.
