10. Quito, Ecuador
One of the most underrated all-inclusive countries in the world is Ecuador. Quito is its capital city and you can find a proper resort or an all-inclusive hotel for as little as $20 here. One of the main advantages for those traveling from the US is that Ecuador uses the American dollar as its national currency. The dollar is widely used in the country since the local currency collapsed in 2000 and you can now travel without losing money on the exchange rate. The food and the cultural attractions of Quito make the journey memorable.
9. Punta Cana, Dominican Republic
A different scenery awaits travelers in Punta Cana. You’ll find cheap beachfront resorts here that are more affordable than before given the tumble the local tourism industry has seen over the past few years. If you plan to relax on a beach with a cocktail or sit by the pool all day on a budget, Punta Cana is the place to be.
8. Playa del Carmen, Mexico
You can travel to Quintana Roo in Mexico for a cheap all-inclusive destination. Playa del Carmen is one of the top destinations for all-inclusive fans in the Mexican state but some of its resorts are truly affordable. But what drives these cheap prices at the local resorts? First, there’s the favorable currency exchange from the dollar or the euro to the local peso. Then there’s a high number of hotels in the region and we know the competition is always beneficial to the customer. You may also want to join the crowds here for the combination of lounge fun at the hotel with the possibility of immersing yourself in the local Mayan culture.
7. Antalya, Turkey
Antalya is widely unknown to those outside Europe but it offers world-class all-inclusive resorts at very low prices. Its luxurious hotels impress those who can’t think about such premium services at low prices. The food is another important aspect Turks know how to leverage. You can enjoy non-stop delicious meals from around the world at these resorts. Italian, French, and Asian food are all options often at the same resort.
6. Fiji
The islands of Fiji attract all types of holidaymakers. Situated in the South Pacific, Fiji used to be problematic for finances when it comes to transport first. Things are now a bit different since smaller airports on the islands are now directly connected with the US. However, you might only find cheap tickets to Fiji if you live on the West Coast. Some of the best deals are now available with tour operators in California.
5. Jamaica
All of Jamaica offers interesting resorts. Some of these are truly made for those on a budget. The included services here cover food, private accommodation in modern rooms as well as daily activities. For example, you can go scuba diving at no extra cost. You can also consider kayaking as resorts are offering 101 courses with the help of certified trainers. But at the end of the day, you can always just sit back and relax on the beach if you choose your resort property.
4. Aruba
If US citizens on the West Coast can fly to Fiji at low rates, those on the East Coast can consider Aruba as a cheap destination. The key is to stay away from the most popular hotels which are still quite expensive compared to what you get in other tropical destinations. A safe destination on the islands is Eagle Beach. Most tourists venture out of the hotels to go shopping or simply to explore what the main island has to offer.
3. Bahamas
There’s a reason you choose an all-inclusive holiday and that is to relax. But it can be almost impossible to truly relax when you know there’s a long flight ahead. If this is your case, you can head to a closer destination such as the Bahamas. Gold Rock Beach, Pink Sand Beach, and Shark Creek are just a few top locations where you can enjoy clear ocean water and white sand. The best part is that even on a budget, these beach destinations in the Bahamas offer all-inclusive resorts that are still not as crowded as other resorts around the world.
2. Hawaii
If you plan properly, you can stay in an all-inclusive Hawaii resort cheaply. First, you need to stay away from the island of Waikiki which is known for its high prices. Secondly, you can start looking at the affordable resort. The Outrigger Royal Sea Cliff in Kailua-Kona is one of the most affordable locations for you to consider.
14 nearby restaurants ensure you’ll be ready to get indulged in delicious local food here. Beach boating is an activity popular at this affordable resort as well. If you aren’t sure about these types of resorts, you can always arrange an all-inclusive AirBnB experience since there are so many willing hosts that expect these types of tourists on these islands.
1. Sri Lanka
All-inclusive resorts in Sri Lanka are already affordable. But the best approach to this world-class gateway is to book your stay during the rainy season. Sure, there’s the occasional mid-day rain to put up with but the low local prices are worth the effort.
The best cheap deals can also be found at some of the largest hotels in the region. You wouldn’t expect the Shangri-La Hotel in Colombo to be so affordable. But this top hotel with more than 500 rooms and apartments comes with its beachside pool, restaurants with international food as well as a selection of shops such as high-end fragrance stores that offer products at better rates than you find in the West.
