“We’re interested in an all-inclusive resort!” It’s a common thing I hear as a travel advisor. Usually my next question is not, “Where would you like to go?” It’s: “Tell me what you want your vacation to feel like.” An all-inclusive can be absolutely perfect for your trip, but it can also be completely wrong. That distinction matters more than the number of restaurants on the property, the size of the pool(s), or how many cocktails are included in the nightly rate.
Do you want the best travel experiences? Then, do not wait to plan! If you do, then the best hotels will be gone, and instead of being able to curate special activities, you may be left with scraps. For a more personalized trip, you should start planning with a travel advisor as far in advance as possible. Here are my recommendations as to when you should start planning if you want first choice, not leftovers:
For our honeymoon, we wanted to go somewhere adventurous but safe, exotic but easy to get to, luxurious but relatively affordable. Costa Rica ticked all the boxes. We were a bit nervous about going in early November during the rainy season, but we got lucky, and it only rained on our two driving days and once at night. The country is filled with surprises - the good kind you actually want while you’re traveling.
