The islands of the Caribbean are renowned for many things including the number of all inclusive vacation packages you can find there. These islands are the capital of the world for all inclusive Caribbean vacations, so much so that they outsell any other type of vacation available. A number of people believe this popularity has been created as a method of bringing in more tourists to what is already undoubtedly a very busy group of islands,however, there is very little evidence that this is the case.

The most plausible explanation is the fact that for many people who want to travel to these islands, all inclusive Caribbean vacations packages are very good value for money,this is particularly true against standard room only or fly drive vacations. These vacations can even be tailored to suit individual needs where they are designed to suit a particular type of visitor. Some visitors only require flights to the Caribbean as they are visiting relations,these people don’t normally need to arrange for a place to stay as their relatives would be offended if they were to book into a hotel.

It is one of those destinations where it an all inclusive Caribbean vacation option is the most affordable. Owing to the number of vacations booked this way through travel operators it is often less expensive than trying to arrange it for your self,However tempting, this type of arrangement does not suit everyone and there are still a number of people who remain die hard independent travelers. The greatest problem for many people is exactly what they can expect to be included in an all inclusive package.

Obviously with any vacation package, the room is included in the cost unless you have just specifically booked a flight only. All meals and any additional snacks for example will be included in the cost but that is not necessarily the case with other types of package available,in fact many types of board only include a continental breakfast as part of the arrangement. Surprisingly, there are still a number of people that believe that a full board vacation is the same as an all inclusive one.

The difference is that an all inclusive Caribbean vacation package will include all food and drinks whereas a full board vacation only generally includes breakfast, lunch and an evening meal. Some hotels also offer special vouchers which can be used at other hotels, restaurants and clubs,these are generally available at extra charge (even if they are discounted). Most all inclusive Caribbean vacations will however, normally include all these as part of the package,often included are restaurants outside of the hotel complex which means you can make more of your vacation without dipping into your pocket constantly.
