The only essentials will be swimwear and sports clothes, if you plan to get active. If you're more interested in lazing by a pool or on the beach, then sunscreen and cover-ups should be top of the packing list. Add to that comfy shoes, casual outfits, one nicer outfit for the evening, flip-flops, hat and sunglasses. As with any trip, don't forget medication, passport, cash for tips, and a beach bag to carry all those essentials.

Do all-inclusive resorts include alcoholic beverages?

At most all-inclusive resorts, local brands of wine and beers, and sometimes spirits, are included in the price of your accommodation and board, while premium and top-shelf alcohol may require a supplement. Always check the details of your booking or ask at the hotel, as some all-inclusive packages include a wider range of drinks and cocktails at no extra cost.
