All Inclusive Resorts
The idea of an all-inclusive resort sounds great – pay for everything up front at what seems to be a good deal, travel with very little petty cash and only be responsible for the tacky souvenirs you pick up along the way.
However, all inclusive meals different things to different people…or different countries. People usually think of the all-in-one resorts in the Caribbean that promise a room, food, alcohol, kid’s club and activities. Although that seems to include everything, that can also be misleading – what about the upper category rooms, or private nannies after hours, or alcohol that’s a step above what you drank in college? Those things might all cost a pretty penny more and are imporant to research before you book.
That being said, there are still a number of people who are looking for all inclusive resorts in many areas of the world. Because of that, we tracked down a number of all inclusive resorts in Tahiti and two other tropical locations.
In our Fiji all inclusive resorts article, we explain the differences between FAP, EP and MAP. These are different ways of distinguishing meal plans – usually the main focus of a resort that’s claiming to be ‘all-inclusive’.
Unfortunately, America’s tropical paradise has only one resort that includes meals. All inclusive resorts in Hawaii are limited to just the Kona Village.
