In today's episode, Jenn from Travel More Momma, a travel expert and mom of two, shares her experience and tips on traveling to all-inclusive resorts with kids.

She highlights the convenience and stress-free nature of all-inclusive resorts, where everything is taken care of and decisions are minimized.

We also discuss the downsides, such as the high cost and limited cultural immersion.

Jenn shares a few tips and strategies for booking and enjoying all-inclusive resorts with kids, and topics such as using travel agents, reading reviews, and knowing what to look for when booking.

We cover a few ways to cut back on costs, including using points and miles, booking during shoulder seasons, and taking advantage of family-friendly resort options.

They share recommendations for resorts, such as Hyatt Ziva and Hilton, and offer packing tips and advice for families with larger groups. Jenn also provides resources for earning and redeeming points for travel.
