Words do not  really do justice to the fun factor of an all-inclusive so I have included a link to RIU properties which provide a glimpse of the fun to be had.

About RIU Hotels & Resorts: The international RIU chain was founded by the Riu family in 1953 as a small holiday firm and is still owned by the family’s third generation. The company specializes in sun and sand holiday resorts and most of its establishments offer RIU’s acclaimed all-inclusive formula. RIU Hotels & Resorts now has more than 100 hotels in 17 countries which welcome over 2.7 million guests a year. RIU is currently the world’s 28th ranked chain (according to HOTELS magazine in 2009), one of the Caribbean’s most popular and the third largest in Spain by revenue and number of rooms.
 
Editor’s note. Considering an all inclusive in the Caribbean? The real reason the all inclusive concept works for families is mom gets a break too. And the family vacation cost is predetermined. After reviewing more than a dozen RIU locations it is obvious the “fun time” menu is comprehensive. Of course it is always possible to spend more on excursions or spa services but it will not be essential in order to have a complete family vacation. The abundance of food and drink is guaranteed. Even picky eaters will be satisfied. RIU’s well-trained bi-lingual and tri-lingual staff knows the meaning of hospitality.
 
Guests wear resort wrist bands to ensure access to the proper resort benefits an obvious benefit when vacationing with teens. An all inclusive holiday is like taking a cruise on land except at RIU drinks are included and there is no chance of getting seasick. RIU’s 24-hour all inclusive atmosphere means there’s a daily schedule; you can eat anytime you wish; there’s always something to do for kids or adults; it’s easy to relax and do nothing. Just get to the resort and your family vacation will simply happen.
 
Here’s the deal. RIU offers vacation deals throughout the year. In almost all cases the deals are time sensitive. The best way to take advantage of the savings is to sign up for alerts from their site.

Make it happen.
