Quality Ratings:Best Hotels for...Lodging Styles:
The all-inclusive resorts in Belize are different than others throughout the Caribbean. Here you'll find hotels with all-inclusive packages that differ from place to place.
Instead of all-inclusive resort hotels where you pay one fee for your room, activities, and meals, pretty much all of Belizean hotels opt for all-inclusive packages that guests may opt to purchase alongside their hotel stay. These packages will differ from hotel to hotel, and some hotels will even work with guests to create the perfect package for each individual. These packages alleviate the same budgeting dilemmas that have helped to make traditional all-inclusives so popular.
The popularity of traditional all-inclusives stems from the lifestyle they promote. All-inclusive resorts enable vacationers to sit back, relax, and worry about very little. Thus, these resorts usually include many activities and meals in the price of the room, helping to keep your costs down. Plus, since everything is prepaid, guests don't have to worry about budgeting for daily costs and can even choose to leave their wallets tucked safely away in their room.
On the other hand, those who dislike all-inclusives see them in a different light. The on-site,"free" meals do not encourage visitors to venture out and try the local cuisine. The isolation doesn't stop there; all local culture can be lost to those who stay in an all-inclusive resort. While Belize's resorts might not be so structured, buying an all-inclusive plan certainly doesn't encourage you to spend a night on the town.
Clearly, the all-inclusive experience is not for everyone. But if such a resort appeals to you, Belize has its own take on this popular theme.
