re: All inclusive family beach trip?

I am a travel agent and I would definitely use a travel agent because they will know which destinations and resorts to recommend based on your requirements and wish list saving you a bunch of time searching. Individual travel agents are typically not more expensive than online travel agencies like Expedia - I'm almost always the same or less. . And if things go wrong or your have special requests they normally have contacts at the resorts that can fix problems and help honor requests. Lots of service that online booking sites can't match without paying extra.

Save the money, don't use any travel agent. Look up reviews of different all inclusive resorts and book one directly with the resort. It's that simple. The resorts will help you with fun things to do inside and outside the resort, that's how they market themselves. And all-inclusive resorts are literally the easiest trip to book, all you have to do is book your stay at the resort, and everything is included there. You don't have to worry about almost anything.
The only time I would use a travel agent is if I was doing a Europe (or other continent) trip and visiting multiple different countries, or POSSIBLY a Disney vacation bc there are so many things you can do at Disney, and almost all of it needs to be booked separately
EDIT: and most travel agents are just going to convince you to book with whoever pays them the most and/or gives them the most free vacations. I know bc my aunt is a travel agent and she has given us several free or significantly below price stays at very nice places by using her agent rewards
