Planning your first all-inclusive vacation? You’re in for a treat. But like any trip, a few common mistakes can turn a great experience into a frustrating one. Here are the ten most common errors first-time all-inclusive travelers make—and exactly how to avoid them.

1. Not Making Restaurant Reservations on Day One

You arrive at your resort, check into your room, and figure you’ll book dinner whenever. By evening, you find out every à la carte restaurant is fully booked for the next three days.

Your SandosPromo promotional package includes a one-way airport transfer to the resort. You land, clear immigration and customs, walk out of the terminal, and someone is standing there with a sign with your name on it. They take your bags, put you in a vehicle, and drive you to your resort. That part is handled.

The return transfer is not included. This guide covers everything you need to know for both airports — what to expect at immigration, how to avoid the sales pitches, drive times to each resort, and your options for getting back to the airport when your trip is over.
