What to Consider When Choosing an All-Inclusive Resort
As part of this week's series on choosing an all-inclusive resort:
Consideration #2 when choosing an all-inclusive resort: Time of Year – When are you traveling?
Weather - The
rainy seasons change slightly depending on the islands. In general,
hurricane season runs June through November with the heaviest rains in
August and September. Other times it can be blazing hot. If you are
sensitive to heat and sun, it's important to check that the resort has
shade options.
Religious holiday or festivals - Check to make sure all your “must do” activities are available.
For instance, Jamaica and the Dominican Republic severely limit water
sports around Easter.
I want to hear from you - How big of a factor is weather when you decide when to travel? Are you
willing to tolerate some rain to better accommodate your schedule?
