An all inclusive vacation may be the way to save some money for your next holiday away together. But there are some things to consider when planning an all inclusive vacation to make sure that you get value for your money and that everyone will enjoy it!
 

All inclusive vacations may be a great travel bargain as they can include, airfare, transfers to accommodation, accommodation, food and drink and entertainment and activities. This is great when you have a family with a large appetite or a wide variety of interests while on vacation.

When I was a kid, my parents enjoyed taking my sister and I to all inclusive resorts as it was an easy and less expensive vacation. They knew what to expect, and more importantly exactly how much money they would spend. It took the stress out of worrying about "how much they were spending" while we were away.

Many resorts or cruises that are great for all inclusive family vacations include some sort of kids program, along with supervised activities for the kids. This gives the kids some time to do kid things and the adults to do adult things while on vacation.

As all inclusive vacations go, we love to cruise. Your drinks are not included, or tours, but so much more is and you get to see many different places while you are in port!

What about Disney? What about an all inclusive Disney World Vacation? Can you even do that?

We like to recommend Apple Vacations All Inclusive when looking for and booking a great all inclusive vacation.

OK so where should you consider for an all inclusive vacation that is less expensive? Here are a few ideas:

• Cruises - in the lowest level cabin, or a family sized cabin
• Less expensive destinations like Mexico, Dominican Republic or Cuba if you are in North America
• Bali, or Thailand if you are in Australia
• Africa or The Balearic Island (Mallorca, Menorca or Ibiza), or Tenerife if in the UK
• Choose 3.5 or 4 star resorts or hotels (be aware that the properties may be a little old and the food not as good) and make sure you do your research on the property so you aren't disappointed when you arrive

More ideas on finding cheap all inclusive family vacations:

• Book last minute if you don't mind where you want to go or stay
• Travel in off season (but be aware of weather issues)
• Sign up for emails from different tour operators that operate from your country or city and look for a great deal
• Look for packages leaving on a weekday instead of the weekend
• Take advantage of early booking bonuses
• Look for Kids Stay Free or Kids Eat Free packages to save some money
• Price compare with tour operators or cruise companies
• Don't be afraid to negotiate - all they will do is say no
• Make sure that you know everything that is or is not included before you book to avoid any surprises when you arrive
