Step 1
Decide where you would like to go. Most all-inclusives are on or near the beach, which make them ideal for a variety of kinds of travel. The most well-known all-inclusives are on the coast of Mexico, including the party towns of Cancun and Cozumel. Other excellent resorts are found in the Bahamas, various other Caribbean islands and even exotic locales like Tahiti.

Step 2
Decide when you would like to go. Note that summers, spring break and Christmas break are generally peak times. Also be aware that May through November is hurricane season in the Caribbean. This might mean prices are lower, but there is a small chance your vacation will be interrupted or delayed by a storm.
-
Step 3
Ask for prices or research prices yourself online or using a travel agent.
-
Step 4
Compare your options. Make a list of the things that are most important to you and see how each resort measures up. Consider the quality of food and number of restaurants. Ask if the resorts have a child-care program or even educational and fun activities specifically for kids. Ask if the resorts have multiple pools or a private beach.
-
Step 5
Figure out what activities and amenities are included in the price. The resort might include kayaking, but not jet skiing. The resort will probably include alcohol, but might have a surcharge for top-shelf liquor or gourmet meals.
