All- inclsuive resorts will never go out of style. For travelers craving a stress-free vacation with everything at their fingertips, including meals, activities, and entertainment, all-inclusive resorts provide the fun and more. Unfortunately, the industry is slow in responding to the fact that more people are traveling alone and also want luxurious amenities such as an all-inclusive experience.
Luckily, there are some resorts and experiences that understand the need for traveling alone. Whether it’s to disconnect, meet new people, or challenge yourself to step outside of your comfort zone, there are a handful of all-inclusive resorts based on your solo travel needs. Many hotels and resorts charge what’s known as a “single occupancy fee.” In other words, solo travelers pay a higher rate for traveling alone.
