Do you save money by going all inclusive

When booking a holiday you may have the option to go self catering, half board or all-inclusive. Not all resorts will offer all types of board and many 4 or 5 star resorts may only offer all inclusive packages.

With an all inclusive package you will receive all of your meals and often drinks for free. Sometimes the drinks are limited to house wines and spirits only and there may be a time limit on what time you can drink for free until. Sometimes snacks such as burgers and crisps are also included in the price you pay.

Although the cost of the holiday will be substantially more than going half board or self catering you will have to spend little else when you are there should you not want to. With food and drink being responsible for the majority of a families spend when away, you can often save a chunk of money by going self catering.
