My GF wants to go to one of those all inclusive beach resorts, I finally agreed upon it but now I want to know where I can get the best value for money since I don't have any experience with such holidays.

Somewhere in Thailand; cheap all inclusive resorts that are good value for money.
Try Las Tortugas or another nice place in Hua Hin.
>Good value for money
Not if you include the flight ticket it isn't. Best option is Mexico if you're an American
True, if you're American don't bother but where I'm from Thailand is the only cheap country worth going to
Where are you from?
You a boomerang ?
I'm from the Netherlands so Thailand is quite expensive.
Get a water bungalow in the Maldives if you have money. Nothing comes close
What do these run a night? Trying to decide if a casual vacation thing or more of a special occasion thing
It's a honeymoon and anniversary thing.
Anywhere from $500 a night to $5k a night or more, depending on the season and the exclusivity of the island you choose to go to. There are a few private islands that go for around $20k a night if you’re that loaded.
It’s a special occasion kind of thing for people who don’t have a lot of money. If you do have a lot of money, it’s a once every year with the wife kind of thing
As someone who is doing this for ages you have two options
1 - pick a travel agency, find hotels which you can afford, check them on tripadvisor and choose the best one
2 - pick an area where you want to go, find hotels in the area which you can afford, check them on tripadvisor and choose the best one
you will be flooded with morons with "hue hue thats not real travelling kys" etc. etc. just don't listen to them. When I first went to an all inclusive holiday for our honeymoon it was like dream come true, drinking wine and wienertails, fricking, eating, fricking. Now we are going with my wife and two kids every year to have family fun and not caring about anything.
Good advice thank you, I'm looking to do it via a travel agency. I'm especially concerned about the the food since I've heard it can be really shitty in those places
>I'm looking to do it via a travel agency
n1 tip before doing it, check reviews on the travel agency.
>I'm especially concerned about the the food
tripadvisor tripadvisor tripadvisor
Check every single hotel with tripadvisor. If the travel agency says its a 5 star with good service it can be actually a shit place with bad food.
It's not real traveling but it is a good vacation and there's really nothing wrong with that.
Mexico, Thailand, Dominican Republic (focus on staying in Punta Cana), Turkey.
Yeah I’m looking at options for the Dominican Republic, seems good. Any experience with that place?
If Mexico or the Caribbean isn't too expensive flight-wise, and you can afford it, I recommend the Excellence chain. Excellence is the adult-only brand, Finest is the family one. I've stayed at their Playa Mujeres and Montego Bay locations, both are great but I prefer Playa Mujeres. I've been told by coworkers that have stayed at the Punta Cana DR location that it's top tier as well.
I've been to one of the inclusive resorts at punta cana by luck and i'd sell a kidney to go there again
I went once and had a terrific time
I went to Occidental Punta Cana and something I enjoyed about it is they have the Mangu nightclub on-site (not free), which all the tourists from the other hotels go to at night to party
Oh and also if you go to an all-inclusive and like to drink a lot, by all means bring some change to tip the bar crew. They will love you and serve you instantly when you show up at th bar for another drink, and will make you very strong drinks if that is your request
How dare someone want to relax on a beach and not have to worry about any of the logistics that comes with travelling
>relax on a beach
What a dumb thing to do, hurr I'm gonna impress my Co workers back home, I'm gonna lie in the sun and heat. Thats npc female level moronation
When you grow up you will understand the appeal of relaxing
You can relax anywhere, I travel to see cool shit, meet new people and have experiences.
who the frick cares about what you do? lol
go larp and relax in ur moldy basement then, moron homosexual gatekeeping travels
Why are you incapable of understanding that different people enjoy different things? Some people are more relaxed in the middle of the woods. Some on snowy mountains. Some in their dark basement, and some on a sunny beach.
There is no right or wrong way
I visited several of them. Where do you want to go?
Somewhere tropical preferably, I'm from the Netherlands by the way
Dutch Caribbean for you then.
Go to the Canaries or Azores, shorter flight (so less chance of cranky femoid) and beautiful-but-not-overcrowded, perfect for causing the intsagram seethe your woman desperately craves.
Turkey is your best bet. Nice all inclusive hotels. Just look on TUI or something. Make sure to find a good rated one. 8 rating minimum.
Cheapest and best alternative for europeans are the canary islands. All of them are filled with beach resorts of varying quality and the temperature is relatively high all year around
I’m planning on going in October is it still warm then?
Don't go to Turkey, since the sanctions that is the n1 spot for russians who are rude as frick and with their subhuman behaviour they will ruin your holiday
This is less of a problem if you go to a resort that only caters to a specific language group.
If Dutch OP speaks German then he can go to a German-run resort and not meet any Russians at all.
All the beta males are afraid to get beat up by athletic Russians and have their women confiscated by Chadimir
It is the opposite actually. I am doing every summer an all inc holiday for 15 years now. When I was a college student I fricked many russian girls because they are tired from moronic everyday ivans.
When I was in turkey with my family it was horrible because of the russians. They always scream like idiots, they can't behave, they cut the que because they think they can do anything, they occupy all the sunbeds at 5:00 with their towels.
Once I went with my little kid and wife to the sea to have fun, when we returned our things were dropped in the sand and homosexual russians annexed the sunbed just like they did in ukraine.
>they occupy all the sunbeds at 5:00 with their towels
Germans do this too anywhere they go
But as opposed to the Russians they'll only complain a little and leave when you throw their towels in the pool and pretend it was like that when you arrived.
I accidentally went to a german resort once without speaking german. Only upside was that I could stroll around in a speedo without anyone staring
Yeah my German is quite alright. Is there such a thing as a resort catered towards a specific nationality? And do they also exist in the caribbean?
It's less catering to a certain nationality but more catering to speakers of a language.
There are resorts where the main language is German, both for customer service and entertainment. This obviously keeps anybody not speaking German away.
One of the middle-upscale resort chains catering to German speakers is Robinson, they have all kinds of resorts targeted at families, couples, singles, etc.
There are other resorts exclusively speaking French and Russian, probably other languages as well.
Club Med is the biggest French resort chain, and operates in the Caribbean as well.
Even for euros the best spot for these is Cancun unless you are trying to maybe squeeze some more real traveler type thing out of it.
Alternatively you could try and sell her on something like an Amazon lodge or even cruise. If you have a lot of money Fernando de Noronha rules the roost of beach getaways.
>unless you are trying to maybe squeeze some more real traveler type thing out of it.
What if when you pull up to the check point of truckos with armed men and they say "not you not you...But theres dangerous men up the road there" They actually mean YOU. but fell sorry for you and realized you where a gay when you started crying like a little b***h instead of giving them $20? Because this is standard with Mexican Government officials stopping you and check points. You always offer a bribe. Its like tipping for burgers.
Your mileage may vary, but Ive been to the roughest spots in Mexico and the worst that ever happened was having all my lug nuts loosened and followed out of town by cartel. Perhaps they would have put me in a dog kennel. Perhaps they would have stopped and said oh..And helped me change the tire looking to have their palms greased. Theres the Mormon family that got ambushed and murdered but they lived there and that shit wouldnt fly with consequences. Like everytime something like that happens the US shoots a missile over there in retaliation like you slap your dog when he tries to bit you.
For Mexicans Nationals reading that not to say Mexico is US dog. But International Tourism reaction to Acapulco getting "dangerous" By stopping travel there did not help Acapulco or Mexico. It turned Acapulco into a low level Cartel playground and Mexicans decided Acapulco must be dangerous, so made it more dangerous. We all just need to nut up and go back to Acapulco and send a message to the Mexican Embassy that if anything bad happens to a tourist the US gov. will drone strike 10 low hanging cartel fruit like El Chapo type guys and 1 gov. official in retaliation. Until the message is clear that the last thing you want to do in mexico is frick with an international tourist. Eventually I feel Mexico then becomes international and a 1st world nation in the global community. Because we have shooting here in the US but its organized in a way. If you hear gun shots in your neighborhood, theyre generally not shooting at you because theres no reason why. Theyre beefing with other Mexicans or settling a drug debt with junkies or something.
The reason I say Acapulco is low level cartel not high level. Is The higher up cartel areas are the safest place to be because the big fricking boss is holding it down. He doesnt want no shit in his neighborhood where he eats croissant and sip espressos. Thats where his kids go to school. And its not even his cartel holding it down its literally truck loads of Federales and hes a legit businessman..yeah my ass.
Problem is: I’m a studen so I don’t have lots of money, my budget is around a 1000$ per person.
If you're from Netherlands, Turkey is probably your best bet they have lots of all inclusive, and its cheaper than all other mediteranean, you will need a valid passport I believe though since they're not EU
Yeah but I want to go in October and is the weather still nice in Turkey then?
don't listen to this turk moron. turkey was good a few years ago, now it's a shithole
go to the canary islands or mallorca, you'll thank me later
Best value greatly depends where you're flying from
Cuba is best value imo, but keep in mind the food is more basic than other places
Punta Cana DR is pretty decent as well, a bit more expensive but better food and accomodations
Also, price greatly vary depending on the time of the year. May and September-Octobe are the cheapest months
Thanks man, any specific resort recommendations, I'm indeed planning to go somewhere in octobre
For Cuba and Punta Cana?
I can't really recommend anything in Cuba because I used to go to the same hotel every year but it's been a while and it closed
As for Punta Cana I've only been to Occidental Punta Cana which I enjoyed.
The general rule though is that the higher the price, the better the food, room and service
You may read reviews if you want but keep in mind that reviews for most all-inclusives resorts are either very good or very bad. And the very bad reviews come from Europe travellers that pay more than North-American travellers, and somehow expects resorts to serve like $100 bottles of wine and caviar. Or people that review bomb because of mundane shit such as "there was a stain on the bed sheet" or they saw an insect in their room.
By the way since you're gonna travel in low season, I would recommend you to book your trip 3 to 5-7 days before leaving. That's how you get the best prices. If you want to find out for yourself, I would recommend you to pick your country/hotel, and then watch the prices in September, to see how many days offers the best deal.
I remember I once went to Varadero Cuba in late September and paid a ridiculous $900 CAD tax included for 2 weeks
Thanks man, I will keep that in mind. So what your are saying is that the closer you book to the date you want to leave the cheaper it gets? Now prices are still rising for trips one month from now.
I am the guy who said is going for years. I dont know how is it in the us, in the eu its the opposite. If you book first moment its 60% cheaper than before the date.
What about Belize?
That seems like the least commercialized and least normie of places to go with the most adventure for an all inclusive. Plus it's supposed to be a cool little country. And you can tell your girl that they "speak English" so it's just like the states.
Does your gf look like this? If not, dump her and tell her to find someone else.
jamaica
If money is your aim, then Turkey has some great ones which are extremely cheap at the minute due to the lira collapsing. I can recommend the Marmaris Bay Resort on the southern coast which I went to fairly recently for a quick break. Actual Marmaris is pretty shite, but if you just want a week or two drinking all-inclusive alcohol, swimming, tanning etc. then I highly rate it.
>Marmaris Bay Resort
>extremely cheap
I just checked and it costs 1600 euros for a week, for a couple, in OCTOBER.
How is that extremely cheap? I paid 300 for the same, in an all inclusive hotel in Morrocos. THAT is cheap.
>Nobody mentions Greece
Why? I am going to Rhodos on monday, can't wait, they always had better services than Turkey.
turkey is much cheaper than greece, a few years ago for 500 euro a person I did all inclusive holiday in turkey for 7 nights, flight from Romania and airport transfer included
I love both countries
the guy seething about russians/ukrainians just had some bad luck I was in turkey in Kemer surrounded by russians, and they had an old monastery in the antalya area that was patroned by an ex tsar so it was full of russians visiting, the hotel staff would rather speak russian than english
Russian women are fricking gorgeous, everyone blonde, still remember one girl that had 11/10 body
I didnt talk to the russians but my hotel was full of them and the beach was full of them, nothing special happened they are just on holiday with their families enjoying the food and the free ice cream on the beach
Bro, Rhodes is nice, I'm going there on Wednesday
OP is a cuck who pays thousands so his girlfriend can walk around half-nude on a beach. Sage
I am in crete right now its pretty good
At least he has one while you will die as a virgin
