All-Inclusive Resorts in Belize

Belize has its own style of all-inclusive resort options which are far from traditional

Plan to be Included

The all-inclusive resorts in Belize are different than such resorts 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 the included activities and meals, Belizean hotels opt for all-inclusive packages. These packages will differ from hotel to hotel and are added to the cost of your room. However, they do 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-inclusives enable vacationers to sit back, relax, and worry about nothing. 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 pre-paid, you don't have to worry about budgeting for daily costs and can even choose to leave your wallet tucked safely away in your 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. And the isolation doesn't stop there: All local culture is 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.
