Resort Vacations
The perfect Resort Vacation
There is an increased desire to have a stress-free vacation. For some, a resort vacation can offer that and they come in all shapes and sizes. Some may focus on Wellness & Spa amenities. Some are “kid-centric”, offering waterparks & kids programs. Yet others may have a culinary or adventure focus. You don’t just have a place to rest your head. Amenities you may see on a property include dining, and in some cases, multiple dining options, activities, child-care services, kids programs, spa services, wellness classes or gyms and entertainment. Let’s not forget to mention the comfort & convenience of having all these on one property. So, with all these options, how do you choose the right one?
All-Inclusive, Non-All-Inclusive, and Boutique Resorts: What’s the difference?
All-inclusive resort vacations tend to take the guess work out of budgeting with having the accommodations, food, beverages, activities, gratuities and entertainment all included, some exceptions may apply. To add to that, most of the resorts have vendors right there who offer various excursions outside the resort, for a charge of course. We do however encourage you to sign up for excursions before you go. Then, the package is complete.
Non-all-inclusive resorts, on the other hand, can give you more flexibility. Basically, you pay for what you use. This is a great option if you are traveling to Hawaii, for example. This will allow you to explore local dining options and activities outside the resort. This option is perfect for that couple or family who likes to be spontaneous in their adventures.
Boutique resorts offer a more intimate and personalized experience. They are often described as cozy or quaint. Smaller in size, these resorts focus on attention to detail, exceptional service, and unique design. You will find both all-inclusive and non-all-inclusive options depending on where you are.
The Benefits of Each Resorts Type
Each type of resort brings its own perks. All-inclusive resorts are perfect for those travelers who want to have everything at their fingertips. There is no need to worry about carrying cash or making daily plans. For those who want a little more independence, as I mentioned above, a non-all-inclusive offers freedom to explore. Meanwhile, boutique resorts are ideal for those who value unique, tailored experiences, top-tier service, and often stunning, one-of-a-kind locations
So, how do you choose?
Deciding which is best suited for your needs can challenging. Despite the fact that they all offer quality accommodations, endless activities, and great food, there are differences. Remember to read the specifics that each resort has to offer. Some choices to consider: For romance: consider Secrets Resorts & Spa, Impressions By Secrets, Sandals Resorts, Karisma’s adult only properties, Unico, Couples. Families will be interested in Dreams Resorts, Nickelodeon, Beaches, Royalton or Hard Rock Resorts. Boutiques options may include Zoetry Resorts, Hermitage Bay, Jade Mountain, Kandolhu Maldives or Villa Premiere. This is just to name a few.
