Top 5 All-Inclusive Tips

"It's not free, it's included" this was the phrase my children were constantly reminded while they were in awe that everything was "free".

Here is what you need to know:

1. Bring a large Yeti or Stanley to fill up and avoid multiple trips to the bar. Click here to shop my favorite.

2. Bring small bills to tip. 3. SUNSCREEN and not the spray kind. We learned this lesson the hard way when my kids got burnt to a crisp one year with streaks of burn on their bodies.

4. Book your restaurant reservations on the first night. The resort usually has nicer restaurants on the property but they require reservations and typically fill up fast. Lock those in upon arrival.

5. Do not book your excursions in advance, wait until you are there and haggle!
