I have never been on an all-inclusive holiday, and to tell the truth, I am quite weary of them.

All I can imagine, because you normally find cheap all-inclusive holidays, is a very large hotel with lots of people and very cheesy evening entertainment. I also imagine that the food is not great and that there are lots of catches, like alcohol is not included for example.

Can anyone dispel these as myths? Or are all-inclusive holidays a bit of a nightmare? Thank you for you advice!
