Resorts vary—some are all-inclusive, while others are pay-as-you-go. Choose what fits your travel style and budget. All-inclusive resorts cover meals, drinks, and basic activities. Stay-only lets you explore local dining and attractions. Also consider whether the resort is family-friendly or adults-only. This can make a huge difference in your experience.
2. Best Time to Travel
Most tropical resorts are best visited in the dry season—typically from November to April. If you're looking to save, consider the shoulder season because it can offer lower prices and fewer crowds.
