Holiday Apartments and Villas in All-Inclusive vs Self-Catering

Why Pick an All-Inclusive Apartment or Villa?

When you book with us, we give you the option to have that all inclusive feeling at apartments, aparthotels, villas, and bungalows. By choosing an all inclusive apartment, not only will you save money on the cost of your holiday booking, but you’ll also save money while you’re there. It may sound nice to be pampered in an all inclusive hotel, but can be a more expensive way to take a holiday, thats why if on a budget, an all inclusive apartment or villa could be the way to go.

Villas and apartments give space for all the family, separate bedrooms/living area and a kitchen for quick meals and snacks. Many villas will have their own private pool with even more space for a large family or group of friends.

A good option, that gives a resort style feel is to book apartments, aparthotels, villas, or bungalows on B&B/HB/FB option. This will include your meal, with some accommodations allowing  complimentary drinks during dinner.

How the Package Works (Simple, Sorted)

The recommendation is to book a package holiday, this will give your flights, transfers and accommodation from the start. Your all-inclusive apartments holiday is whatever way you make it, but if you can feel all inclusive by adding breakfast, lunch or dinner at your accommodation. Many apartments will have pools, kids’ clubs and evening shows, check at time of booking. You’ll not be tied to resorts with wristbands; you are free to make your own decision where to eat and relax. Because apartments and villas have a kitchenette, you will have freedom to cook, have snacks, baby feeds, or just a cup of tea at breakfast time on the balcony.

Space and Privacy You Can Feel

If you don’t feel like going out, the best thing about apartments, aparthotels, villas, and bungalows is that everyone has their own space. Travelling with teens can always be a problem, not any more, they have their own room with the all-important WIFI.

Couples have their own tranquillity to have their own ‘us time’ on balconies or terraces. Travelling with a group of friends? The lounge is a perfect place to enjoy a board game or plan the night ahead.

Some villas will include a private pool, as can be imagined will provide hours of enjoyment for everyone.

Value That Stretches Further

To get the feeling of all-inclusive in an apartment or villa is simple and keeps budgets foreseeable. There are fridges in your apartment or villa, stock up upon arrival, this gives you the essentials for each day. Every family has that picky eater and that early riser, a holiday apartment or villa makes a perfect alternative. Special meals, a bottle of wine and a candle can give resort dining ‘at home’.

Holidaymakers that stay in all-inclusive hotels often feel like they have no choice but to eat at the hotel as they paid for food. But this doesn’t need to be the case when you rent a villa or book an apartment. Those days you want to spend less, eat in at the accommodation, making use of the kitchen. When you have more money to spare, eat out at the local restaurants. You have that freedom when you stay in a villa or apartment.
