Spending Money All Inclusive ???

Hello we are going to Turkey in October in an All Inclusive hotel. We have never been A.I before so are really unsure of how much money we will need to bring. There are two adults and two children. It is the first choice holiday village if thats any help.
Any advice would be brill.
Thanks
Jules

    if you are not intending on leaving the resort then you shouldn't need for any money other than for things you may want to buy from the souvenier shops, if you want to get out and about then you should be able to pay for trips using plastic so again, the only money you would probably need is spending money whilst on the trips for ice creams, drinks etc

    we are going away for 2 weeks to Turkey too and we will take about £200 in cash and use plastic for everything else, including withdrawing money from the cash machines should we need it

    i went with my oh and 2 boys, i spent £500 as the food only i would eat and you couldnt get drunk on the alcohol,

    ai holiday £1300
    spending money

    year before self catering £800 spending money £1400

    they do have hsbc cash machines out there which is link , if your with nationwide your not charged for taking money out, beware you may not like the food in the hotel, i did, the food was moslty for the german and swedish guests. my lot didnt like goulash and meatloaf..

    where are you staying in turkey i used to go marmaris, been goin there ten years 96 to 06 thinking of goin back again next year ........

    remember you have to pay £10 each for your visas when you enter turkey at the airport, so thats another £40.

    We went to the First Choice holiday village in Turkey last year and spent very little.
    You need £10 each for your visa on entering Turkey.
    The safety deposit boxes in the rooms were free, along with the coffe and juice machines which were dotted about the complex. you got bottled water on your tables in the restaurants as well.
    The only money we really spent was when we walked down to the market in sarigerme on the sunday.
