I've been thinking about taking a vacation for a few weeks now and I've finally narrowed my choices down to a resort on a tropical island. Now I need to figure out the destination and which type of resort to stay at.I decided to find out which types of resorts are most popular among our users. All-inclusive resorts made the most searched list, but I have mixed feelings about them. The upside is that you don't have to worry about a thing. All your drinks, meals, activities and entertainment are included in your stay. The downside is that you tend to spend all of your time at the resort instead of exploring your surroundings. So if you like to venture out while staying at a resort, an all-inclusive one might not be for you.
I was really surprised to see nudist resorts so high on our list. Other resorts that are popular are luxury resorts, couples resorts and family resorts. An exclusive resort or a 5-star beach resort would be absolutely sublime, especially if I could get a luxury villa right on the beach.
Resorts make vacationing so easy because they usually have restaurants, shops, spas and anything else you need right on site. Once I make myself at home in my resort's vacation villa I know I will be tempted to ask for an extended stay. I'll have to fight the urge to get too comfy or else my new home might be a Bali resort, Bahamas resort, Caribbean resort or wherever I choose to stay.
Do you know of any types of resorts that did not show up on the list? If so, please tell us about them. To check out more resorts, go to AOL Travel. Also search for resort destinations on AOL Search.

About 30 years ago I was reluctantly convinced to try a nude beach. It was, in the old cliche, the first day of the rest of my life! It is the best thing that ever happened to me.
Many people try nudism on cruises and at upscale, international resorts, then come home to find there are delightful, if simpler, clubs an hour away from their home - just perfect for weekend get-aways. Check out aanr.com to learn more.

Hi, this is an addition to comment#15. I lived in the Philippines for almost 3 years and during a 10 year period, I spent over 5 years there. The Pinas, as they sometimes refer to this tropical paradise are full of great places to visit, including many historic sites from Spainish, Japanese & American rule. Aside from the many great beaches and resorts, the nightlife is some of the very best in the world! As comment #15 pointed out, almost everyone speaks english and most people are friendly. The southern most island of Mindinao should be avoided as well as very remote areas of the Visayas. The Northern most island of Luzon is where the capital of Manila resides as well as Angeles City (great night life 1 hour drive north of Manila)and Baguio City in the northern Cordillera mountains and further north to the world famous Banaue rice terrices which are the 8th wonder of the world. best time to visit the Philippines is the dry season of March & April, although it gets very hot and muggy along the lowland areas, but thats what the beaches are for. A vacation here is inexpensive, compared to most other places.
