All-inclusive resorts are a popular vacation option for couples, families, and groups. If you've never planned a trip to an all-inclusive resort before, it can be a bit overwhelming. In this episode, we'll discuss all-inclusive resorts, what's included in the cost and what's extra, how to compare resorts to find the perfect one for you, and tips to make your all-inclusive vacation a memorable one.

Recently, Sandos Resorts and Hotels invited me to visit three of its properties in Mexico: Sandos Caracol Eco Resort, Sandos Playacar and Sandos Cancun. Each resort offers a unique experience but is somewhat different in its layout, amenities, and ideal guests. I'll share examples from each resort during our discussion to help you better understand how all-inclusive resorts work and what they offer.

Sandos Resorts and Hotels sponsored the trip, but all of the opinions shared in this episode are my own.
