I'm wondering if there is a big difference in what an all inclusive resort is like if it is owned by a European company. When I look at prices online for all inclsuive resorts, I sometimes find very good prices at European owned all inclusive resor…

I have never been to Punta Cana, but I have heard great things about the beach. I also hear it is popular with Europeans. I think the reason I have never been there is becasue there isn't much else there other than the big all inclusive resorts. I e…

James Scott replied to the discussion 'How Much Should I Tip At An All Inclusive Resort?'
$15 per day in tips sounds like more than enough, but you are right that when you start to break down the day and who will you will tip, it gets closer to being just enough. I still think you are in the right ballpark for your tipping budget. It al…

In regards to Sandals, travel agents are not allowed to discount Sandals, so the price will be exactly the same. However, with the travel agency you get the personalized service as well as plenty of guidance for resort and room selection. We also sp…
