Seat68 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Been on a couple of all inclusive holidays. They both utterly destroyed me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I always thought I'd hate an all inclusive holiday... but when I went, I loved it! Sitting around sunbathing all day and grazing when summoned by the breakfast/lunch/dinner buzzers is bliss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was quite snobbish about them until I did one this year, at a massive resort in Mexico. I did feel a bit of a fraud - left the resort once in a week - but my god life was easy.

Chindie Posted August 9, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 9, 2016 My resounding memories of an all inclusive holiday was never eating breakfast and nearly having a stand up row with the staff when I was asked to leave the restaurant when wearing cut off jeans whilst a woman walked around in the skimpiest bikini I'd ever seen covered with one of those completely see through wrap things.

villa4europe Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 last one i went on was in sharm, food was a bit ropey, tried to offer 7 different restaurants or some nonsense but it was much of a muchness, you could only drink spirits if you had a cocktail which didnt bother me, sat thinking im smashing the beer all day everyday...think after about 3 pints by midday in 35 degree heat i knocked that idea on the head...

AVFCDAN Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Never done one personally, wouldn't mind but I know I would come back a stone heavier which is off putting. can see how they are a godsend for families with small children though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFC_Hitz Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I've done 3 all inclusives in my life. One 5* one in Turkey which was pretty special and they made the best White Russian I've ever had. One of them I was actually working. I gave English lessons from 10-5 in return for bed and board. About 8 English teachers and 30 students. I think I did the whole thing hammered, for seven days, but no one cared. Everybody was off their tits. It was just one big party atmosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 (edited) My all inclusive package in Sharm even included a free haircut and laundry I don't go out of my way to get all inclusive but I like that's it's all done and dusted when I go away with wife and kids ( even if it does come at a premium ) you can sorta convince yourself your getting a good deal ... Rather than checking out the hotel and finding you've spent £1800 on food and drink Edited August 10, 2016 by tonyh29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted August 10, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 10, 2016 Never wanted to do it. I'd be bored stupid, and sick of the catering by day two. Self-catering in a rural French gîte, with local restaurants and historic places to visit for me, every time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've done half board, with drinks.. which i imagine is the same thing. It's okay. I prefer "doing" holidays and ticking off landmarks than sitting around a pool. Ask me again in a few years when I'm a weary old fat guy whose son is a runaway.. I'd probably snap your hand off. Paddywhack is on his honeymoon this week in Menorca, lucky sod. Anyway, I'm sure he'd love me to tell you that he was watching two women with big boobs applying sun tan lotion to their arses and boobs, and his now wife asked him to get something from somewhere.. he couldn't. So just said he'd gone light headed Silly monkey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omariqy Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've been to Sharm on AI a couple of times. Loved it. My usual routine was - brekkie, sit by the pool, a bit of table tennis, lunch, beach or activity, gym, dinner, then go exploring in town. I went to Turkey recently and it was pretty good. Not the same standard as Sharm though. Cuba was also v good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
