The Caribbean offers some of the best all inclusive vacations found anywhere. There are many reasons put forward as to why the number of all inclusive Caribbean vacation is greater than the number of bed and breakfast only vacations. One theory suggests it is part of a plan to attract more visitors to the Caribbean; but there is no evidence however, that their popularity has grown specifically because of this move.

It could just be because all inclusive Caribbean vacations can be less expensive overall and easier to manage; this is particularly true against standard room only or fly drive vacations. Each particular type of vacation caters to a different need since some people may have needs in a specific area that other travelers may not have. For example for people with relatives, their vacation needs are easily met; these people don’t normally need to arrange for a place to stay as their relatives would be offended if they were to book into a hotel.

Most people will find however, the option that will be more affordable will be an all inclusive Caribbean vacation. Owing to the number of vacations booked this way through travel operators it is often less expensive than trying to arrange it for your self. Of course travelers who like to arrange everything them self, would not consider such an option even if the vacation were ‘to die for’. Even after many years of all inclusive vacations, many travelers are still unsure exactly what is included in a vacation like this.

The only constant with every vacation booked is that the accommodation is included as part of the price. All meals and any additional food are included in this type of package but that is not always the case; this arrangement can vary but the majority will at least supply a cooked or continental breakfast. Surprisingly, there are still a number of people that believe that a full board vacation is the same as an all inclusive one.

A full board package will include breakfast lunch and supper, but not drinks, whilst an all inclusive Caribbean vacation package will include meals and drinks. Another distinction is in the vouchers for meals, entertainment and often trips which are presented by many hotels; however, the visitor will still need to pay for those activities at some point, although it may not be at the full price. Generally speaking, at all inclusive Caribbean vacation resorts everything is free; in fact you will be hard pushed to find events and situations where you will need money, which means you are able to enjoy more without the worry of additional cost.
