Does Spain still do all inclusive holidays?

The sun-soaked coastlines of the Costa Blanca, Costa Brava and Costa del Sol lure beach lovers on all inclusive Spain holidays every year. Even if it's a last minute booking, you know you'll be jetting off to a destination full of sun, sand and plenty of sangria.

The only thing that has changed for the all-inclusive board in the small areas with restrictions is that alcoholic drinks will be limited to three per person during lunch, and three per person during dinner only. You can still buy alcohol at other times, but it won't be included in your all-inclusive board basis.

If you want to relax and enjoy yourself and not have to think about nothing or worry about nothing then choose an all inclusive resort. I've gone to restaurants even though I was in an all inclusive. You don't have to carry money or nothing. Just a room key and a towel.

Traditionally August is the month for Spaniards to go on holiday. In the old days that meant the whole month, nowadays 2-3 weeks. As 15th August is a public holiday here, like Ferragosto is in Italy, the two middle weeks in August are the peak for absences from the cities.

If you wish to be in Spain for longer than 90 days every 180, you must apply for a visa before you enter the country. There's a variety of visa options for both short and long-term stays. Read about long-term Spanish visas.

Spain currently does not have any plans of changing the 90-day rule. Technically, this rule is not under Spanish jurisdiction, as it is a rule that applies to the whole Schengen Area. So even if Spain wanted to change this rule, the change can only be initiated by authorities of the European Union.

Though Spain can be brutally hot in the summer, winters can be bitter cold in the interior (and very rainy on the coast), and spring and fall can be surprisingly crisp. Off-season, roughly November through March, expect shorter hours, more lunchtime breaks, and fewer activities in smaller towns.

Plan some downtime. At each all-inclusive resort, there are activities all day long which you may want to try. Remember that you're vacationing and can run out of steam quickly. Take some downtime each day to rest and recharge so that you don't overdo it too soon and find yourself in bed before the evening shows.

The majority of all-inclusive includes all meals and snacks as a minimum. Some if not most resorts will also include 24/7 room service as part of the package, but this is worth double checking before booking. Most places will let you eat as frequently and order as much food as you like.

In the US, the minimum wage makes this hard. It would be possible to use undocumented aliens, but because their jobs are visible it's difficult to use many. With the US's higher costs, an all-inclusive resort vacation would be limited to the extremely wealthy, and they can get that level of service wherever they go.

Booking directly with the resort itself is one of the best ways to ensure you travel and relax on the days you desire. Travel Agents are often paid on commission, and may not have your best interest in mind. They may push a certain resort or package deal on you which benefits them, but not you.

Sometimes all-inclusive packages can be a better deal than booking your reservations individually, according to Saglie. This is because travel companies are able to buy up large volumes of hotel rooms and flights at one time and sell them to customers at a discount.
