After years of virtual meetings, conference calls, video chats, and the “Great Indoors,” your event attendees deserve the chance to reconnect and unwind in paradise. Thankfully, all-inclusive resorts are here to help you host a meeting that makes a splash. An all-inclusive property means minimal planning and in-the-moment decision-making, which means your attendees can focus on what matters most — getting together for a meaningful and memorable experience.
While each all-inclusive resort reflects its own signature style and offerings, the best resorts offer something for everyone in a bundled price tag. Before booking your all-inclusive meeting or event, check to ensure that your chosen resort includes the five following features:
1. A wide array of curated dining options to please everyone
Delight your attendees and ensure a fun, flavorful experience by booking an all-inclusive resort that offers multiple onsite restaurants, as well as in-room and round-the-clock dining and drink options. Choosing a location with numerous restaurants on the property means your attendees can enjoy a variety of international cuisines and local flavors. For example, they can savor the rich traditions of Mexican cuisine or sip wine at an Italian trattoria. Or maybe they crave a Southeast Asian concept, a high-energy lounge, ice cream, churros, or a taqueria with a tequila bar. Not only does this vast array of choices remove menu planning for your group, but it also offers attendees their choice of meals based on personal preferences, ensuring their satisfaction with the cuisine overall — all included in a bundled, per-person rate with a menu to at last satisfy everyone.
2. Dedicated event space in exceptional locations
When booking an all-inclusive resort for your meeting, it’s important to select a destination with plenty of space to meet including outside venues and ocean side locations. For example, Hilton’s all-inclusive resorts are outfitted with gorgeous, customizable, and inspiring event spaces so that whatever the occasion and group size, we can help you host meetings with meaning and flair. Hilton’s Vallarta Riviera All-Inclusive resort boasts more than 16,000 square feet of meeting space at its dedicated convention center, located adjacent to the resort. Ten meeting rooms, each equipped with individual A/V, noise control, and air conditioning systems, can accommodate 1,300 attendees. There is also a beautiful “Beach Club” that can host up to 1,000 guests. Why not enjoy sweet ocean breezes with a mountain view at your next event?
3. Plenty of opportunities for fun in the sun and after dark
Whether booking an incentive trip or simply seeking a conference locale where guests can unwind in style between breakout sessions, look for an all-inclusive resort that offers a wide range of entertainment and activities included with your stay. Most Mexican and Caribbean resorts have pools and beaches but for an extra dash of adventure, look for resorts that also include activities such as snorkeling and kayaking, as well as after-dark entertainment options like live music, dancing, and dazzling shows.
4. Adults only or family friendly, you decide
Hilton's All-Inclusive Resorts offer a range of breathtaking beachfront resorts in highly coveted locales for individuals of all ages, as well as specific destinations exclusively tailored to adults. Consider the needs of your group, the likelihood of attendees traveling with their families, and the overarching intent of the meeting or incentive trip to help you select the destination that offers the right balance of seclusion, serenity, and age-appropriate activities for your travelers.
5. Above and beyond hospitality
Last but not least, look for a resort where you know your attendees will feel at home. While looking to experience new places, cultures, and high-end offerings, you also want the promise of reliable, friendly service and above-and-beyond hospitality you can count on when booking with an industry-leading hospitality company. The best brands offer loyalty programs, travel incentives, planner rewards, and other perks to make securing the next experience much easier.
From meetings, events, and incentive trips to conventions and the unconventional, nothing beats the ease of an all-inclusive option to bring everyone all together and send your attendees home sun-kissed and smiling. Let our all-inclusive destinations be your ticket to an exhilarating new meeting experience.
