Since it was built in 1929, The Regent Beverly Wilshire Hotel has attracted rich and famous guests from around the world. To the general public the hotel is most famous for being used in the 1990 movie Pretty Woman. They have disappointed thousands of people by turning down requests from around the world who would like to stay in the same suite that Julia Roberts and Richard Gere had in the movie because it does not exist, it was filmed at the Walt Disney studio.

Julia Robert’s character in the film was not the only pretty woman who stayed there. In the 60’s the hotel became a swinging hangout for Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson, with parades of women going in and out of their rooms. A little old lady who stayed beneath Beatty constantly banged her ceiling with her broom, to try and get him and his lady friends to stop making so much noise.

Not everyone was having fun in the hotel. Michael Caine spent his honeymoon there with his beautiful wife Shakira. Caine was and is a favorite of the staff. In honor of Shakira they decided to give them the authentic Indian honeymoon suite. In India, the honeymoon beds hang from the ceiling with bells hanging from the bottom. The neighbors like to hear the bells go off for the happy couple, but in this case Shakira was already pregnant and Caine was jetlagged. All they wanted was to get some sleep but they couldn’t do it because of the blankety blank bells! The English actor ended up ordering four hamburgers from room service and stuffed the buns into the bells so that they could get through the night!

Staying at a resort for your next vacation can be a great way to pamper yourself and enjoy all the amenities that a fine resort has to offer. But did you know that you can also save money with all inclusive resort vacations? You can find these special deals by visiting your travel agent, but you can also find them fairly easily right online if you just look for them.

All inclusive resort vacations are not for everyone because many people like the freedom to be able to go where they want and see what they want to see once they arrive at their destination. They may like to go poking around a lot to get a real feel for the area once they get there. Or they may enjoy doing a lot of dining at different restaurants to sample local cuisine. For these folks, an all-in-one package where everything is on-site would probably not work at all.

But for those that want to just relax and have all the details taken care of for them, an all inclusive resort package can make a lot of sense. These packages often include pretty much everything you could want including airfare, accommodations, meals and drinks, resort activities, and more. Just as the name suggests these packages include just about everything.

Since they are offered by the resort where you stay, they tend to focus almost exclusively on what you will find at the resort itself, although some do also include some sightseeing packages outside the resort too. But if the resort has all the activities and entertainment that you could want to enjoy, you may not even want to leave anyhow.

The thing to do when shopping for all inclusive resort vacations is to make sure that you know what the package actually includes and also what it does not include. So think of all the things that you could want to do while you are there and ask plenty of questions beforehand to be sure that the package will meet your expectations. It may even be wise to actually call the resort and speak to someone in person who can give you all the information about the package that you need.

For many travelers there is nothing nicer and less stressful than to just pay one price for the whole vacation and have unlimited access to all the entertainment, food and drink that they could want while longing at a beautiful resort. If that describes you why not consider looking for all inclusive resort vacations the next time you are planning a getaway?
