By sticking to the restaurants sometimes strict timetable, you can eat your fill without spending anything extra, if you stick to the local drinks which are available and not the named brands, that can be an even bigger saving, let’s face it we all like to have a drink when we are on holiday and know that most of our spending money is actually spent on alcohol. When you book a self catering holiday and get a really good deal, the holiday itself may cost a few hundred pounds and you end up spending three maybe four times as much by eating at restaurants twice a day and then more on drinks throughout the evening.

All inclusive holidays do have a lot to offer and do give a very good service and you don’t have to worry about non English speaking restaurants, bringing you something that you thought was something totally different . All inclusive is also very good as a family holiday, as they always have different options for your children and cater for their needs. So is it good value for money? If you are able to stick to what’s on offer in your hotel or resort, you will be pleasantly surprised.
