Briefly

My family just stayed at our first all-inclusive resort. I really, really wish we'd done it sooner.
"I'll admit I'm a bit of a travel snob and have always avoided big all-inclusive resorts. I assumed they'd be packed with people getting drunk on all-you-can-sip cocktails by 10 a.m. and crowding over buffets of subpar food. However, when my family needed a hotel for a few days in Montego Bay, a large all-inclusive resort was my only option."
"All of our meals and activities were steps away from our accomodations, so I didn't have to spend time researching where to go or mapping out routes to get there. Ample quick-service options, such as jerk-chicken huts and well-staffed bars, meant more time having fun and less time researching restaurants and securing reservations. With pools, beaches, and a variety of eateries nearby, we didn't have to plan our day or negotiate with our kids over meal times and activities."
A family initially avoided all-inclusive resorts, expecting crowds, early drinking, and poor buffet food, but chose a large resort in Montego Bay when it became the only option. The resort provided meals and activities within steps of accommodations, removing decision fatigue and eliminating the need to research restaurants or make reservations. Quick-service options, pools, beaches, and varied eateries allowed flexible days and reduced parental negotiation. Teens met peers and remained independent without asking for money. Preplanned nightly entertainment kept the family together, off phones, and laughing, turning initial skepticism into appreciation for the convenience and social benefits.
