2011 was a strong year for all‐inclusive holidays and demand for this type of holiday looks set to continue into 2012. With the household budgets once again expected to be squeezed this year, understandably we are all seeking value for money in 2012.
First Choice, owned by TUI, have taken advantage of this predicted trend by taking the decision to be the first company to switch to only offering all inclusive packages. And you’ll be able to select between a range of all inclusive packages. (Some hotels will be offered as adults-only.)
The different types of all inclusive holidays
Standard all inclusive
Includes full board, snacks from morning until late evening, plus local alcohol and soft drinks. Plus entertainment and activities.
24 hour all inclusive
If you want a drink in the early hours, or crave a late night snack, 24-hour all inclusive is the perfect choice. As the name suggests, food and drink are all available 24 hours a day!
Ultra all inclusive
A 24 hour all inclusive option with extra luxury touches. Ultra includes branded drinks and spirits, plus a selection of buffet and a la carte restaurants. Non motorised watersports, lots of entertainment and more.
Gourmet all inclusive
This is only offered at Azul and El Dorado hotels in Mexico. It’s available 24 hours and includes the whole Ultra-Inclusive, plus gourmet a la carte dining and 24 hour room’s service.
First Choice are obviously not the only company to offer fantastic all inclusive deals; keep an eye on our Holiday Deals section throughout 2012 to get the best deals.
