How to choose a hotel meal plan: all-inclusive, full board, half board and everything in between

Planning a vacation is hard enough, without the added question about which booking package is best for you? Hotels offer half board, full board, all-inclusive, breakfast only, room only AND MORE! It's important to consider what the best value is for your vacation, particularly when it comes to alcohol on a luxury vacation.
