The word all-inclusive often conjures images of luxurious resorts in tropical settings like Bali or the Maldives. But, indulging in the type of vacation where all you need to do is show up and be catered to is accessible no matter what your budget — and doesn't have to be an island destination. In fact, Europe is home to many wonderful all-inclusive resorts across the continent, each specialized in crafting the perfect holiday for couples, friends, and families.

Italy, Greece, and Spain are particularly known for their all-inclusive beach hotels, though as we'll soon see, there are other hidden gems to be found in countries you may not expect. By surveying reservation sites like Booking.com and Expedia, we scoured Europe for five high-quality all-inclusive hotels that costs $250 or less per night. Then we went to Tripadvisor to research real guest experiences before settling on five all-inclusive resorts that are both affordable and impressive.

So whether you're a family looking for a hotel that can keep both adults and children entertained or a couple looking for a romantic, pampering getaway, you'll certainly find something to fulfill your needs. And the best part is, once you've arrived at any of these properties, all you have to do is settle in by the pool, indulge in the meals, and enjoy the entertainment.

Our first all-inclusive selection brings us to Italy, more precisely the coast of the Puglia region just 15 minutes by car from the charming and citrus-scented village of Vico del Gargano. With a 4.8 star rating based on over 4,600 TripAdvisor reviews, Hotel Orchidea Blu proves that affordable all-inclusive doesn't mean sacrificing quality.

For many, the location, food, service, and price more than made up for the outdated facilities.

To create this list of the five best affordable all-inclusive resorts in Europe, we dove into rates and ratings across several sites, most notably Tripadvisor, Expedia, and Booking.com. In doing so, we evaluated rates for two adults in June, ensuring that these resorts were affordable even during the highest season for travel.

When looking at the rates, we also excluded any properties that has fewer than 100 reviews to ensure that the opinions given covered a wide range of experiences. Then, we cross-checked the reviews on Expedia and Booking.com with listings on Tripadvisor to verify that the quality of the experiences matched on both platforms. Aside from rates and overall guest experience, we also strove for geographical diversity, which is why there are no two listings from the same country.
