Know Before You Go

Make sure you're getting the best price

Many all-inclusive resorts base their rates on double occupancy, meaning two guests per room. Some resorts may provide a discount for single occupancy, so be sure to confirm with your resort before you book to get the best price as a solo traveler.

Some resorts charge a supplement

Some all-inclusive resorts, however, charge a single supplement. Double check with your resort if they charge extra for a single person staying in the room and how much that supplement is.

Check out a resort's scheduled activities

If you're going on a solo vacation to meet people, take the opportunity to enjoy the resort's scheduled activities. This could be the daily happy hours, welcome receptions, wellness classes, cooking classes, etc. These are great opportunities to meet other solo travelers or groups of friends.
