The current financial climate seems to have affected everyone and pushed the thoughts of escaping on holiday far, far away. Hotels and resorts know that people are more concerned about their finances and have adjusted their prices to follow suit – making a getaway a surprisingly affordable option.

Holidaymakers looking to keep a close eye on a tight budget should opt for all inclusive options.The essentials, such as food and the majority of drinks, are fully catered for, while on site facilities mean that you don’t need to go far to find alternative entertainment if you fancy a change from lounging by the pool or need something to keep the kids happy. All this means that the ‘hassle-free’ element of your holiday is fully covered, but what about the ‘cheap’ part?

While all inclusive used to mean very expensive, there are some excellent offers on at the moment, making a stress-free getaway a possibility despite a very low budget:

Greece

The Greek islands are a top choice for a sunny escape, surprisingly they are also extremely budget-friendly. Greece hotels are very affordable. On the island of Kos, for example, all inclusive hotels can be found for as little as £25 per person per night this May. May is a great time to travel to Greece, as there is guaranteed sunshine, but the sweltering summer heat waves will not have set in.

Turkey

Just outside the Euro-zone, you’ll find Turkey is an excellent and very affordable option. The cost of eating out is climbing, however, so an all inclusive holiday is a sensible choice price-wise. All inclusive hotels in Turkey near the beautiful region of Dalaman, cost as little as £10 per person per night this May.

Majorca

Majorca in the Balearic Islands offers up a great mix of Spanish island culture alongside traditional British tourism trade. There are great deals to be found on Majorca hotels at the moment. A three star all inclusive experience can be found for a very budget-friendly £10 per person per night this May.
