However that's been catered for too (literally) and you can also usually find a selection of other smaller restaurants that you have to book in for (though they're still included) that have more elaborate décor and a more traditional menu.

Of course the other great thing about all inclusive hotels is the free alcohol, and if you enjoy partying o holiday then this will again save you a lot of money and will allow you to cut loose and have a drink whenever you want. Fancy a cocktail in the afternoon? Why not - you don't have anywhere you need to go anyway. Then if you want to drink more socially you can head to the clubs that open at night, or to the shows that are put on.

The range of entertainment provided at all inclusive hotels is also normally superb. Of course there is always a good selection of pools, but on top of this you can also enjoy games and sports such as darts, volleyball and water polo, as well as theatre and cinemas and even things like aqua-aerobics. There's normally a fitness centre or at least a gym, and usually a sauna and steam room too meaning you can never get bored. Of course though you don't have to stay in your  all inclusive hotel the entire time and there will also be a range of excursions, trips and days out to pick from too - whether you want to visit something historical, ride camels, ride quad bikes, head to another hotel for a night, visit the city or try something entirely new.
