Check The Small Print On That All-Inclusive Deal

The popularity of all-inclusive deals means you can technically enjoy an incredible package holiday without needing to reach for your wallet once you arrive at your hotel. But do bear in mind that not all all-inclusive deals are quite what they seem.. In these tough economic times, hotels will do anything to make a bit of extra money from heavily discounted package tourists, meaning even those staying on all-inclusive deals may find many food and drink items (or even entire restaurants) come with "premium" supplements, and activities may have added fees. Often it's only the very specialist luxury holidays (think Sandals) that offer a truly all-inclusive experience.

Also bear in mind that though you've paid for your accommodation, food, drinks and entertainment, you're still being served by people who are paid low wages. Travelling all-inclusive does not negate the need to tip generously when you can!
