Your vacation fund has enough in it for a getaway, but you don’t want to spend more than you’ve saved. That’s why all-inclusive vacations are great. You pay one price and don’t have to think about anything else.

All-inclusive vacations often include:

  • Meals.

  • Gratuities.

  • Taxes.

  • Alcohol and other beverages.

  • Activities and entertainment.

  • Wi-Fi.

Many places are for adults only; others are kid-friendly. Some will even include airfare as part of your package price.

No matter which company you choose to book your all-inclusive vacation with, make sure to check cancellation and change policies. Some require full payment upfront, and others have a pay-over-time option. You might also want to consider travel insurance to cover things the resort or travel company’s policies might not cover.

Here are some cheap all-inclusive vacation options.

Sandals

Sandals has 17 all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean in Saint Lucia, Jamaica, Antigua, the Bahamas, Grenada, Barbados, Curaçao and Saint Vincent.

The resorts are adults only and are “specifically designed for romance,” according to Sandals’ website.

Each resort vacation includes:

  • Accommodations including spa-style bathrooms. Some rooms even have their own pools or are over the water. 

  • Tips and taxes, except for butlers and spa therapists. 

  • Water activities like scuba diving, snorkeling and water sports.

  • Land sports like golf, pickleball, beach volleyball and more. 

  • Nightly entertainment.

  • Dining at up to 16 restaurants, including breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.   

  • Premium liquors and wines at up to 11 bars per resort and stocked bars in each room. 

  • Wi-Fi.

  • Round-trip transfers to and from the airport. 

For April 24-27, 2025 (which is a Thursday through Sunday), at the Sandals Ochi in Jamaica — which Sandals says has the lowest entry rates of all its resorts — a Great House Luxury room is $321 per person per night.
