Ah, the sweet sound of waves crashing, glasses clinking, and your favorite people gathered in paradise to celebrate your big day (or maybe just a sun-soaked reunion). Sounds dreamy, right?

But before you can say “I do” or “pass the piña colada,” there’s one little detail you need to sort out: The Room Block.

Now, don’t let the term "room block contract" send you running for the beach bar. Whether you're planning a destination wedding, a family getaway, or a group trip with your entire crew, understanding the difference between a traditional group room block and a flexible group booking can save you time, stress, and potentially thousands of dollars.

Let's break it down for you:

Let’s get straight to the point. If you’ve found yourself wondering, “What’s this destination wedding package going to cost me?” Here’s your golden ballpark estimate: we recommend that you plan to pay anywhere from $250 - $300 per guest to get the party started. The price all depends on where you go, how many guests you plan to invite, and how fancy you want to get with the flowers, photography, videography and fireworks (yes, fireworks are an option).

Let’s bust a travel myth right now: All-inclusive resorts are only worth it if you drink alcohol.
Nope. Not true. Not even close.

As someone who eats, sleeps, and dreams travel (seriously, I am always on vacation when I close my eyes at night), I can tell you that all-inclusive resorts are still one of the best vacation options out there — even for the non-drinkers among us. Whether you're sober-curious, alcohol-free by choice, or just not into boozy beach days, there are plenty of reasons why all-inclusive might still be your best bet.
