Welcome to the March 2025 roundup! We published a lot of practical advice this month, from how to handle tips at all‑inclusive hotels to building a green cottage on a budget. Below you’ll find the most useful highlights, all written in plain English so you can start using the tips right away.
If you love the idea of a resort that bundles rooms, meals and drinks, you’ll want to read our pieces on all‑inclusive etiquette. We answered the burning question, “Is it rude not to tip if gratuity is already included?” and explained when a little extra still makes a difference for staff. We also broke down the typical meal schedule – most resorts serve breakfast, lunch and dinner plus snacks, so you can plan your day without guessing what's on the menu.
Drink limits caused some confusion, too. Some European resorts cap drinks at six per person, while others are more relaxed. Our guide helps you spot the policy before you book, so you won’t be caught off guard. Finally, we weighed the pros and cons of all‑inclusive packages. If you value hassle‑free budgeting, it’s a great fit; if you crave flexibility, you might prefer a traditional hotel. The articles give you the facts to decide which style matches your vacation vibe.
Glamping fans got a deep dive into “posh camping.” We described how solar‑powered tents, gourmet meals and spa services turn a basic campsite into a boutique retreat. The piece also covered why eco‑friendly designs matter – you get the outdoors without hurting it.
Building your own green cottage is less scary than it sounds. Our “Easiest Eco‑Friendly Cottages to Build” article lists simple designs, low‑cost materials and step‑by‑step tips. If you’re on a tight budget, check out the guide on affordable eco‑friendly cottages. It shows how reclaimed wood, insulation made from recycled denim, and smart water systems keep costs down while staying sustainable.
We didn’t stop at new builds. The “Golden Rule of Camping: Eco‑Friendly Cottage Edition” reminds travelers to pack out what they pack in, use refillable bottles and choose campsites that limit impact. And for the truly curious, we explored who owns the world’s nicest eco‑friendly cottage – a sneak peek at cutting‑edge architecture that blends into nature.
