The Caribbean offers some of the best all inclusive vacations found anywhere. So far, no definitive reason for the popularity of all inclusive Caribbean vacations has been provided but the facts speak for themselves! One theory suggests it is part of a plan to attract more visitors to the Caribbean; however, there is very little evidence that this is the case.

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. Every type of vacation and travel package is available so just about anyone's travel needs can be tailor made to suit them. Some visitors only require flights to the Caribbean as they are visiting relations; they usually only need to pay for flights, but not accommodation or activities.

For the average tourist and his family, an all inclusive Caribbean vacation is the more likely scenario with costs manageable right from the start. Because the tour operators book large numbers of vacations, this is quite likely less expensive than if you tried to book your flight, accommodation and food independently. However, those travelers that are more independent would not arrange a vacation like this no matter how tempting the financial offer. Even after all this time it is surprising how many people do not actually know what an all inclusive vacation actually includes.

Obviously with any vacation package, the room is included in the cost unless you have just specifically booked a flight only. All meals and any additional snacks for example will be included in the cost but that is not necessarily the case with other types of package available; a great deal depends on what sort of vacation is being offered. Even now, some visitors are not sure of the difference between an all inclusive vacation and a full board package.

The difference is that an all inclusive Caribbean vacation package will include all food and drinks whereas a full board vacation only generally includes breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. It is not unusual to find that special arrangements have been made with other hotels and restaurants; this does not normally mean that entertainment, food and events are free at these places, just discounted. Many all inclusive Caribbean vacations will include other recreational activities; dining at sister hotels or restaurants at no additional cost is quite normal and means you do not have to spend a great deal of money even if you leave the resort.
