Atmosphere and location are everything
When in search of an all inclusive vacation experience, more than half of Canadians rank overall atmosphere as a key deciding factor. A combination of resort style, location, luxury amenities and offerings, service, access to excursions, proximity to the local towns and more need to effortlessly blend together to create that idyllic vacation experience. How you choose to spend your time in paradise will help determine the atmosphere you’re looking for and further narrow down your destination and vacation package options.

Who you travel with is just as important
Relaxing poolside, dining in luxury and exploring your destination is made better by who you share those experiences with. In our research, we learned that romantic getaways are becoming increasingly sought after as travellers plan to book their next all inclusive vacation with their significant other, in which sun-soaked destinations built for intimate moments may be of favour. As well, we saw an equal interest in family and friend getaways that would be well-suited to larger properties with amenities everyone can enjoy.

Multiple hotels brands offer exclusive packages with elevated amenities and services for an added level of luxury.
