Spending money on all-inclusive holidays

Hi all,

I am going to Crete for two weeks in Aug 06 on an all-inclusive basis. having not been all-inclusive before I am unsure how much additional pocket money to take.

To anybody who's been all-inclusive before how much spending money would I need to take? There are two adults and two children going and we would anticipate doing as many visits as possible.

Regards,

Julian

    Not been to Crete but done a couple of all-inclusives in Spain ( 1 week each time). Each time took about £300 in Travellers cheques & about £100-150 in Euros. Always came back with some money in our pockets. A bit of advice is to dine out a couple of times or have lunch out away from the hotel. I know you've paid for all meals but it can make a change from sticking to the same routine of watching the clock waiting for the Dining Room stampede to start.
    Have a great time.

    I agree, take some cash and eat out to see and get a feel of the place. The trouble with AI is you could be anywhere, you'lll need cash for trips too.
