The accommodation is usually in quality hotels where excellent facilities such as swimming pools, children activities and spa treatments for parents are available. Read the small print carefully to make sure you know exactly what is and is not included in your deal. The advantage to this type of holiday is that you know exactly what the cost is, right from the start. Popular areas for the all-inclusive deals are the Costa Blanca ( Benidorm), the Costa del Sol and the Canary Islands.
