15 Surprising Costs Of All-Inclusive Resorts: Do They Really Save You Money?

10. Kids' Clubs & Family Perks: Free Fun vs. Fee-Based Childcare

Basic daytime kids' club access (for certain ages) is a common all-inclusive perk. However, care for infants/toddlers, evening group babysitting, "teen club" special events, or in-room babysitting will almost always incur substantial extra fees, often $15-$30+ per hour per child. Helpful Comparison: If childcare is essential, scrutinize the exact included hours and age ranges. Compare per-hour babysitting fees to what you might pay at home or for alternative childcare solutions if you were on a non-AI trip.
