Problem with all-inclusive is that, to get your money's worth - you basically cannot leave the hotel (or else you will miss meals)
@user-gy9lx9dd3x You've just been to some wank hotels.
I've been to some excellent ones
Not really correct though. Like they said here, by the time you’re left with what you pay for food, it’s £45 for 7 days - £6.42 per day. Now, a pint of beer/lager in Marmaris averages around £2-£3. So if you have 2 pints per day, one with lunch and one with your dinner in the evening, that means you have to get any other drinks (tea/coffee/soft drinks) plus meals, for under £2.42 per day for it to be more cost effective to not go All Inclusive.
@@NJTRAF they said £45 per day, not £45 for 7 days.
but the way they have compared is not correct, first they added up wrong it was £54 for the stuff they showed (taxi costs isn't included in all inclusive and 99 percent of the time there is restaurants next to or within 5 min walk of hotels by the nature of tourism) and that was for both of them (showed in the last part they were adding two meals and two wines to get £40, so the other prices can only be assumed to be the total costs for both) so they spent £54 pound out of a £90 daily budget (they said the total costs for holiday were per person)
they also didn't buy equivalent food compared to all inclusive, you can get local food and drinks for cheaper, you can also buy food and drink in to cook in your hotel which would bring the prices down even more.
all inclusive vs self catering is never about the price either way, all inclusive is just for convenience and mostly for people who don't really want to leave the hotel and spend there holiday around the pool or using just the hotel facilities.
If you also want to explore the locations or food outside the hotel and have all inclusive, then the costs vs is just massively in favour of self catering
I go on holiday to see things ..
Not to live in a compound for a week ..
Travel around ..
Eat lunch in different places everyday
Same with dinner ..
On a time that suits me , when I want to eat ..
@Bjizzle69420Not everyone goes to 3 star hotels for £300. 😂
All inclusive is definitely worth it. Did all inclusive in the Dominican Republic 5* resort at £1400 pp, and once I looked separately at flight/accommodation cost, it was a bargain!
Athens I did payg this year, but had breakfast included in my stay. That cost £600pp, and the food & drink elsewhere was very very cheap (maybe £15 pp every day).
All depends on the countries economic state as to whether it is worthwhile.
Me and my other half travel to salou in Spain a lot and have done both our first time we paid as we go to try as much as we wanted and it did rack up a lot but was incredible the other times we have done half board and inclusive and I think half board is best for us breakfast at the hotel, go somewhere for lunch and then dinner back at the hotel gives us the flexibility of the rest of the day doing what we want all inclusive was useful but you couldn't take drinks to the rooms so you would be sat in a very quiet bar which wasn't so much our thing lovely when spending time by the pool but yeah half board is a nice middle ground :)
I’ve been to that hotel what did you guys think of it? At the time I didn’t rate it too much but after going somewhere else this year okra was far superior!!
Shes so cute!
A think the value of all inclusive, or any sort of catering plan isn't necessarily that it's cost affective, because that's a rabbit hole that ends with eating ramen out of a cup in your hotel room and everyone lands where they are comfortable with after a while. The value is that you know you can stroll up to the bar or cafe, get whatever you want from the menu you've bought into, and not think about it past that. It's a suspension of having to deal with food and drink beyond let's try this or that
For me the best deal is breakfast included. Have a massive breakfast that you've already paid for, a tiny lunch/snack out and about and a nice restaurant dinner at a different place each evening. This is how my family have done it for our last few holidays and it never fails
Pay as you go, it’s boring to stay 7 days in the same place
Totally agree and you are not experiencing the country and the culture and not seeing the locals
Depends on what your goals for your vacation are.
@@LifeOfGrant247That is a lot of people’s aim to be fair. I’ve known people who will go to Cyprus, Spain, Türkiye, Greece etc. on all inclusive packages and they’ll just end up eating British food the whole time.
@@dod6031yeah my family is very much like this, they don't want anything different to what they get at home, just sun and lounging about the hotel. It's my idea of hell but if that's what people want to do then they can crack on.
If my parents could find a Greggs or a Toby carvery in Turkey they would probably emigrate..
To be fair, many people just want to go on holidays to get the sun and not cook for a week and literally do nothing.
If you have 3 kids and you don’t want to make a decision for a week or two it suits many people.
If you’ve got a kid, all inclusive is great
Waste of money to stay in a hotel
@@godlovesyou1995Gone straight over your head that point 🤣🤣
@@ashleypearmain9815 all inclusive is more expensive and you feel forced to stay in your accomodation
You dont have kids so you dont even know what this guy is talking about.@@godlovesyou1995
When you’ve got toddlers that become sulky after 5 minutes of walking in >26 degree heat staying in the hotel and jumping in a pool is the preferred option
It depends on the type of holiday you want. You wanna stay at the hotel and just do nothing for a week? Go all inclusive. You want to explore the surrounding? Go for pay as you go.
To everybody saying ”It’s good when you have kids”, just an excuse for parents. When I was a kid my parents would take me and my sister to numerous trips to Greece, Spain, etc, and we NEVER stayed at all-inclusive resorts. We tried new food everyday and saw amazing places, I had a great childhood. Just raise your children to behave themselves.
This is what my family do I’ve never been on an all inclusive holiday instead we’d rather go to Switzerland and France and enjoy the local food and culture
We had just a tent in a camping as a kid, later my parents a caravan/camper we still sleep in tent. No all exclusief just self cooking ect
My parents always did the same either rented a house in Denmark and went from there when we were younger. Later on we always went to France and stayed at this big camp grounds where you can rent tiny homes, are close to the beach and have a massive pool on side. Going to the local supermarkets and trying all the local deserts they had was our favourite thing to do. I will never get why anyone wants to literally be locked into a hotel.
It’s not about behaviour it’s about convenience for the parents who like to lay by the pool as a holiday. For me that’s not a holiday at all. We were far too poor for AI when I was younger if we were lucky enough to go away it was self catering and we always had a really good time, however I could see how AI would have been equally as good but less stressful for my mum.
Congratulations on your opulence
The problem with all inclusive is that the food at the hotel might not be great but as you've already paid for it you kinda have to go with it. I like to go to different restaurants trying different food every day at least for dinner. Lunch at the hotel is usually always decent enough
This is where reviews come in. You can find out about food quality before booking and then see if it’s worth it.
And other people laying down there towel on a bed and fight over it. Having notorious bad people in there as well. Nah, just a normal hotel or vacation home for me :)
I don't care. I just clicked the video to see the shot with her in flip flops. Worth it..
Pay as you go because what's the point going to a destination where you not going to get and enjoy the way of living of the locals
It’s only good to stay in all inclusives like Dominican Republic where it is very dangerous unless you have family there
Because some people just want to escape from life and spend a couple of weeks in the sun. Not everyone wants an experience. Some people just want to chill.
@@A_Kid.29that’s what the big companies want you to think. So you keep on booking with them. Don’t carry large amounts of cash and don’t wear jewellery and you’ll be fine.
I don't care. I just clicked the video to see the shot with her in flip flops. Worth it..
Why would you stop for tea ? A lot of restaurants would give you tea for free while waiting for a meal or for a bill !
You haven’t been to Turkey if you haven’t had a tea.
@@LiveTheDash do you even read comments ?
@@LiveTheDashexactly. Turkish tea is something else :)
For me (especially with young kids) it’s an absolute hassle trying to find somewhere to eat 3 meals per day if you leave the hotel. If you stay in the hotel for almost all meals you might as well have gone all in.
We go all inclusive and make sure there are at least 4-5 restaurants so it’s not too repetitive. Then we can just eat as and when without planning. So much easier to roll down to breakfast, all eat then you can hit the pool with the kids.
We buy convenience and if you stay in nice places you always get good food in most of their restaurants even if one or two isn’t the best.
We went spain half board and the nicest meals we had were the ones outside of the hotel , I think best bet is b&b option
it depends why you go on holiday alot of people go to all inclusive places because they get a break from the kids aswell alot of these places have activiy groups for kids to give parents a break.
All inclusive does nothing for the local economy as most of the resorts which offer such deals are owned by major groups of corporations which take the money abroad anyway. If you want to do tourism sustainably, spend your money locally and give back to the place and the community 🌺
They definetly overcharged you at the places you went as with the currency being so low there at the moment it should've been nowhere near as expensive.
We were pretty happy with the prices we paid.
Depends on the destination. If you're going to a European seaside place definitely pay as you go (maybe rent an apartment), if you're going to Egypt, Kenya, Tunisia and so on definitely All Inclusive. Also depends on whether you want to stay in the same place or not
We have been to egypt hilton Hotel the Food was so terrible in a 5* all inclusive hotel we where trapped there for two weeks the last few days i started ordering from outside
What a random comment lol why would you restrict yourself in any country? You don't base a country on whether to stay in a hotel and not eat out.
Asia all the way .Who wants to go to Adrica????
@@anonymeruser1589Egypt sucks anyway.
@@trevorwilson2966Many many people. Tunisia is great I’d love to go. Egypt is terrible.
If you care where your money goes to... Like all inclusive, hand over your hard earned cash to big companies or pay as you go and support small businesses.... Its your own moral compass, so you choose
@@jaanaanepaan 🥱
I think if you are a couple traveling buy as you go, if you have kids all in is the way.
I wanna go to hotels like you guys and get paid for it 😢
Start a channel!
AI for me is simplicity. I have two teenagers with simple needs... Sun, pool, beach, food choice. I used to love travelling around an area. But to be honest what I like more these days is that from the moment I drop my car with the airport valet everything is done. And it's one phone call with my travel agent and one payment to her. We still visit local places by taxi, and we will still have a couple of meals out during the week. But for me the value is all in the simplicity.
Kids are a big factor, well said 👍
with these inflation rates, although live in turkey, we can not afford this kind of holidays.
All inclusive is good, I’ve done 2 in canaries and Mallorca, worth every penny
If you're a complete mongoloid who doesnt know how to travel I'm sure its worth it
Love to hear it. Which one was your favourite?
I'm going to canaries soon, How many days you recommend?
It depends what you want. If you’re gonna lay on the beach or by the pool all day, go all-inclusive as you’ll be drinking all day.
You got ripped of hahaha Turkey can be dirt cheap with insane quality but you apparently didn't know that. They do that to people who dont know
For real, they're thick as shit
Fr it was a very touristy area meaning they get ripped off
All inclusive for the first time next month, I can not be bothered to drag us all around trying to find food and deciding where to eat, although of course we will go out as well it is easier to not have to for a change.
I'm turkish my self and I hate popular cities in turkey not the city but the people because them scam literally everyone make crazy prices that people belive. If you want to see real turkey you should go to malatya for an example and avoid kapadokia the most.
Financially they are a better choice, especially with children, and you ate really little, try 3 meals and few snacks. Even without alcohol, it's cheaper on all inc. I do prefer b&b or half board though as I like to go out for most of the day and get back in the evening
I went to Marmaris in Turkey last year all inclusive so beautiful
When my kids where little, AI's were great. Now they little older we stay in Air Bnbs with our own pool, so we can visit places and sample the local area.
Really depends. We went full board in Italy once. By the third day we'd had enough of the rubbish food and being surrounded by German tourists queuing at 6.45 am for breakfast. Same people at the table too! Pay as you go may be more expensive but it's definitely worth saving up for. 😊😊
Oh queuing Germans!!
Im not going on holiday if i would sit everyday in the hotel
With children - worth it. Without children - NOT worth.
Yea defo defo worth it especially if you have a big party. Also check before hand as all inclusive can differ in quality for different hotels and if ypu book all inclusive direct with the hotel you usually get better perks such as certain foods and better quality alcohol!
Definitely go and explore! It might be more expensive, but at least you're not stuck in the same place eating the same food every day. It depends on people but personally, when I'm on holidays, I like to visit the places, talk to locals and really experience the place I'm visiting. Imagine going to Turkey, Greece or Italy and staying in the same place for a week... I could never do it.
You go all inclusive but you also go out for meals etc outside the hotel, the all inclusive is just to cover all bases..
The amount I eat and drink yes.
Stirring tea with special teaspoon, in a special glass for tea ( my turkish mom only lets me drink out of those if there are no other glasses) on a special plat for tea
I wanna try a variety of authentic food. Not for me
Turkish food is amazing.
From a turkish person
@@Srnsuphi I know that's why I wouldn't wanna go all inclusive
@@jones848 nice 😊
Before my wife and I had kids we preferred to stay at air bnb rentals, and have the flexibility to visit restaurants or shop at local markets and cook it all up at the house (or barbecue). But now we prefer all inclusive resorts so we can rest and have time for ourselves.
But stay in the hotel for the whole holiday 😂😂😂😂
@@13tgdWhat’s wrong with that anyway?? We work hard, if I want to relax at the hotel and I paid for it, why not??
@LJBrown25 it destroys local shops restaurants why would you want to stay in a hotel eating hotdogs and chips for a week 🤣🤣 while your in a lovely hot country go out Try there food explore not sit in a packed hotel eating crap and drinking watered down ale!! If that what you call a holiday I'll rather stay at home amd do the same haha 😄 😆 😅
@@13tgd will do that again once the kids are older. For now we’ll take the easier route. We still take regular holidays in our home country, camping or staying in a holiday house, but sometimes we like to treat ourselves.
Asla kalamayacağımız otellerde yabancılar gelip çok ucuza kalıyor harika cidden kdkdkfkf sinirlerim bozuluyor artık
Very interesting! Greg vid
Legend, thanks for watching 🙏
Omg that’s where I go every year we go to grand yazici it’s the best ! I❤
I like to pay for an all inclusive as a base, have breakfast there everyday, then alternate between lunch and dinner outside. It’s worth it alone for unlimited drinks and snacks throughout the day.
I actually stayed in this hotel with my partner, It the Okra Lotus hotel. Absolutely stunning and the all inclusive was most definitely worth it for the beach bar alone👌🏾
I normaly just take the breakfast option if anything… because i go on vacation to explore the foreign country and not to stay at the hotel all day…
All inclusive, no thanks? Did it 2 times, and no, it's not worth it! Cheap repetitive food, Waterered down alcohol and that was 4/5 star. Day 3 and i have to go out to eat. But amazingly, the quality and choices out of the resort are amazing depending on where you go!
How the f€ck did you pay £5 for tea? And also wtf, £40 for dinner? I paid less than that in the literal centre of Istanbul... But ye, I guess everything is expensive if you get ripped off every time you set foot out the hotel 😂
Good video.
Tip: know the 'delta' between the meal-options. Increasingly, I find half-board makes more sense, as I like to do excursions during the day.
Another tip; if AI, watch the drinking! I'll try and keep to eight during the course of a day, which sounds like more than it is.
My last booking had a delta, over half-board, of £50/day, in high-end Mauritius. For that, I get those 8 drinks, a lunch, and more restaurant choices for dinner. Is that worth £50? Marginal, I think. Perhaps I should have gone half-board and take in a litre of duty-free.
All inclusive is definitely worth it. Did all inclusive in the Dominican Republic 5* resort at £1400 pp, and once I looked separately at flight/accommodation cost, it was a bargain!
Athens I did payg this year, but had breakfast included in my stay. That cost £600pp, and the food & drink elsewhere was very very cheap (maybe £15 pp every day).
All depends on the countries economic state as to whether it is worthwhile.
45quid for drinks alone in the evening is worth it alone. 9quid a cocktail drink 4 in evening and breakfast ur quids in. Also if places have desert bars like ice cream it's well worth it. Yes ur not getting ur monies with missing a couple of meals but you make up for it from drink and breakfasts alone
It maybe cheaper but you miss out on the experience of visiting local sights, the food (especially in Turkey is really good), getting a taste of the vibe of the place. You might as well stay at home. If you want the experience don't do all inclusive. Find a nice B&B, have a good breakfast and then dine like the locals. You get the best of everything
For me it was never about saving the money but about convenience.
If i wanted to eat somewhere else i would but it was nice not having to have my wallet with me and just be able to eat and drink whenever i wanted.
I love how the comments are like “you will only get your money worth if you stay in the hotel” 😅 that’s not true. If you eat a large breakfast, go out with fruit and snacks they provide, large meal when you get back, you can easily make up £45 worth. People really assume you’re needing to sit by the food are trying to find issues. Last year, I went all inclusive to Portugal, my friend and her fella paid as she went, my hotel was better, my flight was better, I got British airways, she booked Ryan air, I got a transfer to my hotel, she had to get a taxi, my food was so good in hotel I only needed to eat out twice and that was because I didn’t want to be anti social, I took sandwiches out with me and the hotel gave me a cooler bag. I spent £500 less than she did and she got a deal because there were 2 of them (it was actually £1000 more but I split it) it sounds like people are picking the first all inclusive deal they see. Weird brags going on. Remember that lower quality places will advertise more, shop around. 😅
I have only been to a all-inclusive resort once in Brazil because I've got it as a gift. It was kinda nice having drinks and food available all day but rather boring. I was lucky I have just stayed there for few days so I could arrange a trip to visit a turtle sanctuary and Salvador city. All inclusive holidays are not for me though.
Mate, a meal at a restaurant for a family of 3 is around 70 pounds in Marmaris, let's say breakfast is cheaper. But you will still pay close to 200 pounds for a day, all inclusive is the way to go. Nobody is stopping you from visiting the area and having the odd lunch sometimes.
All inclusive is great if you want the same boring food every day. From my experience they usually change one or two types of food each day, but that's about it.
Personally I rather spend 20-30 more each day to enjoy my food and to get better flavors.
Did AI in Turkey for my teeth and you must have gone peak times I paid £300 for 7 days so can’t really fault it at that price. I was expecting it to be horrible but it was actually really nice.
Purposefully picked expensive places hahaha I went to kusidasi and everywhere was cheap as fuck, I was still all inclusive and it is 100% worth it, but if you do feel like leaving the hotel then don't worry, it I cheap as fuck over there
Few years ago the All inclusive was really worth it. Now with inflation the food is mostly bad quality and just quantity , you eat poor just because is paid. Drinks are far from those in bars . Proper All inclusive in luxury hotels costs really a lot min £1200 per person,to enjoy.
Best option is hotel+ amazing affordable food in local restaurants.
All inclusive is still good for heavy drinkers
I means that’s depends on the hotel and location I’ve been to a couple in past few years for various reasons (cosmetic surgery and stag do) and they had lots of healthy options with good food I didn’t expect to be included, like steak cooked how you like.
The benefit of not staying at the resort all day is that you will not be at the same resort for your entire holiday.
I couldn’t imagine picking AI over a trip where you actually see the culture etc and also enjoy all the same things you can on a resort.
AI holidays are the vacation version of what’s wrong in this world. If you travel somewhere you spend money with small business owners etc, All inclusive just dumps money into big corps who underpay their staff en some ceo will be laughing at the bank.
That said, I could understand it of u have a lot of children, just for convenience. Any other situation; pls reconsider.
We are staying in Oludeniz Turkey in September, bloody expensive but the cheapest place we could stay was all-inclusive so it's not like we spent extra to stay at one but we have the nice option to stay in or go out. But if I had the choice I would choose pay as you go.
All inclusive aka riot at feeding time.
All inclusive is great with very young kids, but isn’t travelling about experiencing the country you’ve travelled too? You can’t do that spending the whole time in the resort eating crap food.
All inclusive is for NPCs. Why would I wanna be tied to the hotel. Get a car and get about. One of my favourite parts of going away is eating out all the different places for meals.
Depends. All inclusive for chilled “make no decisions, stay on resort and turn brain off” vacations with the kids. Going anywhere interesting and want to see the destination then PAYG.
Marmaris is terrible, so would defo go all inclusive. Worst holiday we have ever been dirty, and full of harassing locals who abuse you when you don't say yes to everything. Horrible place.
All inclusive is only cheaper because the food quality is low and the drink options are always terrible served in plastic cups. I'd much rather spend more money and go explore.
I've been to Marms and the prices you paid for everything was a ripoff.
You guys sound like your from UK so it's 42 lira to the £ 😊
Pay as you go. I’m on a holiday to make new memories and see other cultures. Why the hell would i be in turkey if I weren’t exploring their country and instead sit in a boring hotel with a pool all day. 🤣
But i can tell you guys prefer pay as you go as well. So you understand this. 🙂👌
Problem with all-inclusive is the crowds it attracts. I prefer pay as you go, I am not always in the mood to eat and or drink unlimited alcohol.
I also prefer to go out and enjoy the restaurants in the neighbourhood.
Couple doesnt really matter but preferred always to be free to roam. Changing opinion now with children, all inclusive get easier and makes the vacation very relaxing and stress free.
This whole video is a bit pointless really. Some people like to do things, some people like to just relax. Both are worth it, depending on the purpose of the holiday?…. I would choose both.
You guys getting skimmed for the taxi 😂 prob same for where u choose to eat as well. You can easily spend less than €50/day and get top notch stuff in turkey
It just depends on your budget ! If you’re low income then all inclusive would be ideal especially a family, unlikely to explore anyway
I go all inclusive as well as go out and eat. When I was in Marmaris, I think we ate out 3 times in 11 nights for dinner and at least twice for breakfast. It's not all about the money for me, it's the convenience as well.
Recommendation for marmaris is get off the tourist streets, go find some local restaurants, they are a millions times better and half the price.
The problem with all inclusive is that you're not really seeing the place you're visiting, you may as well just have a buffet back home.
Only if you want to be surrounded by beer bellies and people who just don’t know how to behave on foreign soil.
Also sunbed wars.
Get yourself a flight separate and research your hotel - read reviews and reverse image your hotel to see if you can get it cheaper on another site. Remember 5 star isn’t the same everywhere. Research what matters to you
Went to an all inclusive for the first time in years. Not gonna bother again. Snide drinks, snide food and people act like they have never eaten before. Noise and bedlam at ebery meal. Ended up eating out anyway juat to enjoy my holiday.
If you've got young kids, i think maybe best to ho all inclusive, but flip side of the coin, your restricted to the one place, if the foods rotten and drinks watered down, its not ideal, but you've paid upfront for it, you can possibly go outside cheaper or it at least will be a better choice of food and better quality.
Let's weigh the options yes on the video they made all inclusive sound like a good thing but it really isn't, Whenever you get all inclusive you want to make that money back b... Read more
Why you paid so much for food 😂 i was laat year in anatalya and just used the breakfast buffet twice. With 10-13€ you can easily eat in three Restaurants
People who do all inclusive are the people who go abroad just for the weather.
That's not my jam, I want to see the country and experience the culture.
I think when you have kids it’s best to go all inclusive or half board . It’s good to have the option when you have children with you , you don’t always have to eat at the hotel but at least you know it’s there 🤷🏽♀️
Yeah but I don’t want to go to a different part of the world and sit in a hotel the whole time eating mediocre buffet food. I want to get out and experience the local cuisine and culture, so it’s not really a fair comparison. A fool knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
I have found the main factor is if you’re vegetarian or vegan, all inclusive doesn’t usually cater well for either so you eat out to get some protein, there’s always veg/potatoes/rice or pasta on offer but never enough protein.
I personally wouldn't spend €45 a day on food . Far prefer to go off exploring & try different places with a variety of scenic spots
I just wouldn't want to stay in the hotel... The point of going on holiday is exploring the culture and cuisine of the place you're visiting
Much prefer renting a villa and doing a food shop, eating mostly at the villa and one or two meals out. You get private pool, personal space etc and I don't like the idea of just having hotel rooms for me and the kids, having to share the pool wirh loads of people etc
They cost more and make you feel obligated to eat and drink there. Instead of just going to local places that are much better and don't just make English food
So the standard of the food that you've just purchased is equal to that of your hotel 🤔...You could eat alot cheaper if you wanted to..pointless video..👎
Comparing top bars and restaurants to crap, crowded buffet ? Are you serious ????
27th comment 🗿
3 weeks in Tunisia cost me less than that for Feb 2025. Islamic AI is worth the money. I am t-total so alcohol is off the agenda.
Go there in the summer it's more expensive haha, the hotels are overpriced as hell in Turkey but the local shops are extremely cheap, I mean it's pennies for things,
You will save money in the hotel by going all inclusive as they will charge you more for drinks around the pool and with heat they warm up quickly so you can just get another but that doesn't stop mean you have to eat in there all the time you won't get punished for not eating for me I do both
Well if I go somewhere I don’t wanna just stay in a hotel the entire trip. That defeats the purpose of going somewhere.
If you want to stay in the hotel and be lazy then all inclusive is for you but most people go out and see the country they are staying watermarks, shopping centres, markets, historical and beauty spurs etc so you will miss meals etc so all inclusive is a waste of money plus your restricted to their meal times
Obviously Marmaris town is a Tourist trap. Anywhere in Turkey you get all this for a third or less of the price.
