The winter travel season is upon us. But if you're planning a getaway, there are many factors to consider — food, activities, entertainment and more — and researching everything takes time you might not have during the holidays.
All-inclusive resorts make it easier to stick to a budget, accomplish a wide variety of activities and relax on your vacation — which is especially helpful if you're traveling with young ones. Resorts with all-inclusive packages can also help you make the most out of your break (just remember to look out for hidden fees in the fine print).
