Planning a bachelorette party is an exciting endeavor, and choosing an all-inclusive resort as your venue can take the celebration to the next level. With luxurious amenities, beautiful settings, and a variety of activities, all-inclusive resorts provide the perfect backdrop for a memorable bachelorette party. Onward Travel is here for you every step of the way to ensure a seamless and unforgettable experience. Here are some top tips to consider when hosting a bachelorette party at an all-inclusive resort.
1. Contact your travel agent well in advance
Start the planning process early to secure your preferred dates, accommodations, and activities at the all-inclusive resort. Of course, contacting Onward Travel is #1 on the list because we can help you get started early with our top recommendations and ideas. Popular destinations can fill up quickly, especially during peak seasons or holidays. By booking in advance, you’ll have more options and a better chance of getting everything you desire for the bachelorette party. Not to mention, we have a better chance of securing you a price that will fit your budget.
2. Choose the right resort
Research and select an all-inclusive resort that caters specifically to bachelorette parties. Our experienced travel agents are available to find a resort that works for you and the entire group. We always look for resorts that offer packages or amenities tailored for such occasions. We will ensure the resort has a vibrant nightlife, spa services, pool parties, and other activities that suit your group’s preferences. Reading reviews and using our personal recommendations can also help you make an informed decision.
3. Consider the budget
While all-inclusive resorts offer convenience and value, it’s essential to consider the overall budget for the bachelorette party. Understand the cost of accommodations, meals, drinks, and additional activities. We will help you determine whether the resort’s all-inclusive package covers everything or if there are any extra charges such as airport transfers and travel insurance. It’s also wise to establish a budget for additional expenses like decorations, souvenirs, and further transportation.
4. Communicate with the resort staff
Once you decide on a resort and your travel agent gets everything booked, you will be assigned a resort event planner that will help in making sure the entire group is taken care of during your stay. We will share any special requests or preferences you may have for the bachelorette party. They will assist in arranging surprises, decorations, restaurant reservations, and/or special spa treatments for the entire group. Effective communication will ensure a personalized and exceptional experience.
5. Get the invitations out early
Once you’re all booked in, make sure to send out the invitations as soon as possible. You will want to include the contact information for your travel agent at Onward Travel because they will be there to take care of each guest and ensure everyone is booked into their preferred room category, collecting deposits, flight information, final payments, and much more. We make the process seamless for you and every member of the group. If your bachelorette party is a large group, we can even build a custom website where guests can register online with ease.
6. Plan activities and surprises
While lounging by the pool and sipping cocktails is a great way to unwind, incorporating exciting activities can add extra fun to the bachelorette party. Research the resort’s offerings and plan activities like beach volleyball, water sports, group spa treatments, or private cabana rentals. Your travel agent and designated resort event planner will be able to assist with any additional activities on-site. We can also provide group tours, catamaran excursions, and day trips to add something a little extra to the trip. Surprise the bride with a personalized treasure hunt or a private sunset cruise to make the occasion truly memorable.
7. Coordinate group dining
Decide if there are certain evenings you would like to all get together for a meal. Sometimes group dining can be tricky at popular all-inclusive resorts, but your travel agent and resort event planner can take care of this without issue. Make arrangements with the resort to ensure that your group can dine together at specialty restaurants or private venues. Many all-inclusive resorts offer a variety of dining options, including buffet-style meals, à la carte menus, or even private chefs. Coordinating group dining experiences allows everyone to spend quality time together and creates opportunities for toasting the bride-to-be.
8. Pack appropriate attire
All-inclusive resorts often have different dress codes for various areas and restaurants. Be sure to pack appropriate attire for each occasion, whether it’s casual beachwear, elegant eveningwear, or themed costumes. Consider coordinating outfits for the group, such as matching swimsuits or custom-made bachelorette party t-shirts, to add a festive touch and create a sense of unity.
9. Don’t forget the essentials
Aside from party essentials like decorations, games, and party favors, don’t forget the practical items. Packing essentials such as sunscreen, hats, sunglasses, comfortable shoes for exploring, and beach towels will ensure everyone has a comfortable and enjoyable experience. Keep in mind any additional items specific to the resort, such as snorkeling gear or gym attire, if desired.
