Preparation
What is the difference between an all-inclusive resort and an all-inclusive plan?
All-inclusive resorts provide vacations where the cost of the room includes all your meals, beverages,
taxes and tips, and on-site activities, which vary by resort. Some traditional resorts and hotels feature All-
inclusive Plans—an option that includes meals, drinks, and taxes in the room price. Some of these plans
also include activities, which vary by resort.
How much cash should I carry?
Most meals, beverages, activities, and gratuities are covered in the cost of an all-inclusive resort. Expedia
recommends that you take credit cards and adequate cash for gifts and activities outside the resort, and
be sure to check each resort for the specific details of what's included.
Are all-inclusive resorts kid friendly?
Many are—it depends on the resort. Beaches and Dreams resorts are designed for families while
Sandals resorts are aimed at couples looking for romantic settings. To find the best children’s programs,

Is a passport required?
Passports are now required for all U.S. citizens traveling to or from any international destination by air,
except for Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Expedia recommends that every traveler have a
passport. For more information on passport requirements, please visit
