All Inclusive Resorts with the Best Food from USAToday.com

USAToday.com recently published an article highlighting the Best Food’s of All Inclusive Resorts.  Quite a few of our resorts made the list.  See what USAToday.com says about the resorts at AllinclusiveResorts.com that made the list below:

“Budgeting for summer travel can be difficult. Extra expenses like meals, entertainment, and incidentals can quickly turn a planned bargain vacation into a bank-busting trip. So to avoid hidden fees and sticker shock, some savvy travelers are turning to all-inclusive vacations.  One advantage of booking an all-inclusive trip is that accommodation, meals, alcohol, recreational activities, and gratuities are included. Travelers embark on their trips knowing that everything is paid for upfront, which makes for a less stressful holiday, notes travel consultant Ellen Paderson…(USAtoday.com, All inclusive resorts with Best Foods)”
