There was a time I loved the allure of all inclusive resorts, particularly when the kid was a toddler. Now we abhor it. The flexibility of having a car and being able to eat anywhere anytime while exploring the place is far greater than the convenience of eating all inclusive buffets or restaurants in specific time windows. Plus the kid is older so it’s not like we need a structured day as before! Makes these trips so much more fun. Added bonus? Not going for a meal plan will save you a ton of money to do other stuff!
