If lying on a beach, sipping on cocktails and soaking up the rays sounds like your dream holiday, then an all-inclusive resort could be just the ticket.
In fact it can prove to be more budget-friendly than paying for your flights, beachside hotel, restaurants and activities - especially if you're travelling with the kids who'll need entertaining every day.
It's becoming an increasingly popular option for Brits too. The Association of British Travel Agents says one in four families are opting for an all-inclusive package this year, compared to less than one in five in 2016.
With some brilliant deals coming in at just as little as around £200 per person for a week's holiday, there's no denying that it can be the ideal way to get the most out of your money.
TravelSupermarket conducted some research into the best all-inclusive packages on offer for Brits this summer, and now they've revealed the top 5 destinations that proved to be the cheapest.
