We chose an all inclusive resort for a few reasons. Firstly, we have a decently sized group coming and most are coming from Western Canada. Airfare to the caribbean is expensive from Western Canada. It was cheaper for us to go all inclusive. Secondly, FI and I didn't want to have to carry a lot of money with us for food and drinks. Thirdly,we have friends coming who are big drinkers so it was more cost effective at an AI for them.
