FAQ

Do all-inclusive resorts in the US include alcohol?

Many offer welcome cocktails or champagne, but for the rest of your stay, you will have to pay for alcoholic beverages. Some resorts have special packages you can book that will include alcohol. The resorts that include alcohol no matter how you book are: 

  • The Clement Palo Alto
  • Sandpiper Bay Resort
  • The Ranch at Rock Creek
  • Bungalows Key Largo
  • Dunton Hot Springs

Is everything included at an all-inclusive resort?

Almost everything. Most include at least two meals (typically breakfast and dinner), your room, and most activities. Alcoholic beverages and spa treatments are usually an extra fee, as are specialized activities. Be sure to check with the resort you are booking at to see what exactly is included in your package. 

Do you tip at an all inclusive resort?

Unless it is explicitly stated at the time of booking that tips are included, you should tip while staying at an all-inclusive resort, although it is not required. 

Does all-inclusive mean unlimited drinks?

As mentioned above, some US all-inclusive resorts do include alcoholic beverages, but most only include water, soda, tea and coffee. 

Is it wise to go to an all-inclusive resort?

For a lot of families and couples traveling, going to an all-inclusive resort is the best way to go, as that way, the trip is already paid for when you get there, and there are no surprises. It is easier to save for an all-inclusive stay since you know exactly what you will spend. 

Are all-inclusive resorts worth it? 

The short answer is yes, they are, if you are looking for a resort vacation. Having everything paid for, and all of your activities during your vacation in one place may be the perfect vacation for some people. The costs that can incur while you are on vacation are many, so knowing exactly what you are paying can be a relief to some, and make it well worth the money.

At these resorts, you can unwind and create unforgettable memories in some of the most beautiful corners of the world.

The resort features a variety of accommodations ranging from minimalist rooms to deluxe suites. Each abode has been designed to foster a sense of peace and serenity, with calming color palettes and decor inspired by the surrounding desert landscapes. 

The hot springs are at the heart of the hotel, reputed for their healing properties. Naturally heated by the earth’s geothermal energy, the springs fill several outdoor pools and jacuzzis, providing a soothing spa experience under the bright Californian sky.

The spa here is also a must-visit experience, complementing the healing waters with a range of services including massages, facials, and body treatments, many of which incorporate the therapeutic properties of the hot springs.

For the health-conscious, the resort’s restaurant serves a menu packed with nourishing, locally sourced options that don’t compromise on flavor.

Immersed in the scenic jungles of central Vietnam, the Alba Wellness Resort is an oasis of tranquility that fuses nature, health, and luxury.The resort is built around a unique source of geothermal waters, which have been known to heal and rejuvenate. 

Step foot into the resort to find a blend of traditional Vietnamese architecture and contemporary design elements. Each accommodation, from luxurious suites to private villages, offers peaceful views of the lush gardens or lotus ponds. The views themselves are already reason enough to visit. 

The resort’s crown jewel is undoubtedly its natural hot springs, separated into five distinct areas to cater to all preferences. Explore the multi-temperature pools, the private sunken baths, or the Japanese Onsen, each offering a different, calming experience. 

Aside from the pools, the place also hosts the Alba Spa. Not only do they use the natural hot springs in their treatments, but they also have a range of locally sourced botanical products that encapsulate the very essence of Vietnam.

Guests can also enjoy delectable cuisine at the resort’s two exclusive restaurants. From local Vietnamese dishes to international favorites, each plate served is a work of art crafted from fresh and organically-sourced ingredients, many of which are harvested from the resort’s gardens.

Aqua Dome – Austria

Aqua Dome is a sophisticated union of modern wellness facilities and the untamed charm of nature. Perched amidst the beauty of the Ötztal Valley in Austria,  the resort takes full advantage of the surrounding snowy landscapes, providing guests with a unique contrast of hot and cold. The architecture is a true marvel, boasting a futuristically-designed spa complex that mirrors the grandeur of the nearby mountains.

And since it’s not a visit  to Italy without some gastronomic delights, here you will find two gourmet restaurants serving a mix of traditional Tuscan fare and delicious culinary innovations. 

Chena Hot Springs Resort – Alaska, USA

Established over a century ago, Chena Hot Springs Resort remains a famous sanctuary for those seeking rest and rejuvenation. The place is as remote as it gets, nestled in the heart of Alaska’s wilderness. 

The lodgings, ranging from charming rooms in the Moose Lodge to rustic private cabins, offer a comfortable retreat after a day of exploration.

The Dunton Hot Springs is a romantic ghost town that became an exclusive resort. This 19th-century mining town reimagined as a luxury getaway has a rustic yet refined ambiance, blending history, adventure, and relaxation.

The hand-hewn log cabins are all different from one another,  filled with artifacts that celebrate the Old West. Some cabins are decorated with Native American motifs, while others offer incredible mountain views — every corner has a touch of unexpected uniqueness.

But the pièce de résistance of Dunton is, undoubtedly, its mineral-rich hot springs. Enclosed by a bathhouse built from reclaimed local timber, the principal spring provides an intimate soaking experience. Meanwhile, the outdoor springs offer a refreshing dip under the stars, surrounded by snowy peaks and alpine trees. You can also spend the day horseback riding, fly fishing, heli-skiing, and going on guided hikes.

The resort’s communal dining room in the original Saloon serves dishes crafted from locally sourced, organic ingredients, often paired with excellent wines from Dunton’s vineyard.

During a visit to Barcelona, the city reveals itself in the same ways as flamenco dancers do: with both precision and fluidity. You’ll find yourself in awe of Barcelona’s architecture, yet liberated by the glory of its scenery. Many visitors to Barcelona are pleased to learn about the free museums, such as the Picasso Museum and the Museum of the History of Barcelona. The options for Barcelona hotels offer as many different perspectives as the city itself: 

1. Anba Boutique Hotel

Visitors who want to stay in the city’s heart will find the perfect spot in this 19th-century building. You’ll find art deco ceilings and ideally situated balconies in each room. The staff is warm and welcoming, and there are several dining options. 

You can walk to some of the most popular tourist destinations from the Anba- like the Plaza de Catalunya (Catalan Plaza.) Spend some time in its circular garden, enjoy the impressive fountains in the plaza, or gaze at the Pescador, a memorial crafted to honor the area’s fishermen. 

2. The Social Hub

To stay at a place with a friendly sense of fun, choose the Social Hub. The lobby and hallways feature steel girders with a casual ambiance. On the lobby walls, coy metallic eyelashes are on partitions made of wooden blinds. Your room may remind you of a college dorm – but the comfort will rival any other motel. 

Located less than a mile from Westfield Glories (Glories Mall) and a short walk to the Diagonal Mar Mall, the Social Hub is the perfect location for anyone who loves shopping. Both shopping centers offer a variety of stores and restaurants, from familiar names like Levis and Sephora to European stores like Bershka and Kiabi

3. Hotel Ilunion

Lovers of abstract art will appreciate the unusual decor at this hotel. Inside your comfortable room, you’ll find king-sized beds and free Wi-Fi. It also offers guests the use of its indoor pool and gym. Located in Barcelona’s technical district, its informal decor makes it one of the best family hotels. 

Although bullfighting is no longer allowed, the Plaza del Toros Memorial is worth a visit just to see the grandeur of its Byzantine architecture. Visitors can climb to the highest level of the arena and gaze down from that perch at the former bullring. Visit the small museum and bring home a unique souvenir. 

4. The Level Melia at Barcelona Sky

One look at the stately exterior will convince you to stay at The Level Melia. When you want to relax, you can dive into the pool or head downstairs to the Spa to get pampered. Enjoy Mediterranean cuisine in the hotel’s restaurant, the Merkado. 

Located near both Bogatell Beach and Mar Bella Beach, you’ll feel miles away from the city when you’re there. The beaches are lined with vendors of everything from snacks to massages. 

5. Ohla Eixample

SmarterTravel Hotel

One of Barcelona’s best luxury hotels, the Ohla Eixample features a terrace complete with a long, rectangular pool spanning the length of the hotel’s side. 

Located nearby is the  Sagrada Familia, with spectacular white pillars and an inner atmosphere of peace, which are part of the lure of this idyllic church. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the symbols and hidden details crafted into its architecture. 

6. Hotel Duquensa Del Cardona  

This hotel’s decor is royal enough to please a real-life duchess. This hotel is often considered one of the best hotels in the Gothic quarter of Barcelona. The hotel offers two outdoor pools, and sports enthusiasts will enjoy its proximity to snorkeling, hiking, and golf. 

Enjoy the bustling activity at the Placa Reial (Royal Palace.) It’s a downtown square with a jade-green arch that beckons you inside. You’ll find the large and imposing Fountain of Three Graces in its center. Crowning the fountain are three mythical deities, masterfully carved by Jean-Jacques Ducel. 

Barcelona’s tourists need to book tickets in advance for many of its most popular attractions. Check with a travel guide to get tickets at least 3 weeks in advance. Some attractions (like La Sagrada Familia) will sell “skip the line” tickets – and you’ll be wise to invest in them. No matter where you go in this spellbinding city, you’ll never forget the adventures you encounter here.
