While quaint lodges, guest houses, and inns make up the bulk of accommodations on Trinidad and Tobago, travelers who want to stay in luxury resorts that offer packages with meals, recreational activities, and entertainment, can find a few all-inclusive options on the islands. All inclusive resorts in the Caribbean offer their guests complete vacation packages. Everything from meals to daily activities are available through the hotel. Guests can have breakfast, then skip off to the beach before an afternoon of windsurfing followed by a late lunch. Dinner and drinks can provide a perfect end to a day spent relaxing by the ocean. Many all-inclusive resorts contain a number of different restaurants, allowing you to choose among different prices and cuisine types. Family-style buffets are popular and often serve different kinds of international and Caribbean cuisine. In addition, many all-inclusives also offer more upscale options for dining, with talented chefs preparing inventive international cuisines. Friendly waitstaff usually complete the experience. Breakfast, important for providing energy for an active day in Trinidad and Tobago, can often be cooked to order. During the day, many all-inclusives offer a number of amenities, activities, and services to their guests. Active vacationers who want to keep their feet dry can enjoy tennis, golf, and squash, while ocean-lovers can enjoy windsurfing, boating, scuba diving, and snorkeling. Game rooms, playgrounds, and baby sitting are available for children. Other amenities include pools, saunas, health and fitness centers, massage spas, and shopping. In the evening, guests can enjoy drinks at the bars, go dancing at the resident dance club, or sip a cocktail while listening to the music of the Caribbean. Guests should always learn which amenities and benefits are included in the price of the all-inclusives that they are considering. Some all-inclusives may not offer a full meal plan in the quoted price. Others may offer extra services to their guests that are included in the price but that are not mentioned in brochures or on Web sites. The attraction of all-inclusive resorts is the ease of paying only one bill. In addition, travelers can enjoy many activities in one place without having to travel throughout the island or make reservations. While rooms at other hotels or guest houses may come at a lower cost, the extras, such as meals, activities, and travel expenses, often make them just as, if not more expensive than all-inclusives. Money spent on food and daily activities could end up making an all-inclusive resort worth the higher rate. Prospective guests at an all-inclusive should review the quoted price to find out if service charges and taxes are included. Most hotels add on significant tax and service charges - up to 25 percent - and these could inflate your bill at the end of your stay. Researching the hotel policies and charges will let you know exactly what you will be paying for. You should know what kind of crowd the all-inclusive generally attracts to see if the location is appropriate for your style of vacation. Some all-inclusives cater to singles; others primarily host families. Many travelers to Trinidad and Tobago want to tour different areas of the island and spend time staying in accommodations near natural preserves or in secluded beach villages. These visitors will not want to stay in all-inclusive resorts. For travelers who will be renting a car and who want to see the islands' flora, fauna, and culture, a simple room can serve as base for all your excursions. All-inclusives can be convenient and luxurious but can also make it difficult to experience the unique culture, people, and food of the islands. Eco-tourism and exploring undeveloped areas in Trinidad and Tobago can keep visitors very busy. While all-inclusive resorts are not widespread in Trinidad and Tobago, select resorts that offer meal plans, recreational activities, and other amenities can be found in Port of Spain in Trinidad and in Black Rock and Scarborough in Tobago. Rates can start at $250(USD) per room per night, and climb above $1,500(USD) per room per night. All-inclusive resorts offer vacationers to Trinidad and Tobago the luxuries of a Caribbean vacation with the convenience of staying in one place and paying one bill. Related Articles
