PHILADELPHIA, April 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- A vacation to the Jersey Shore isn't a vacation for those who have to cook, clean and do the laundry. Why waste precious vacation days trying to keep up with the chores and maintenance of a rental? Plus, the costs at the shore can add up quickly, turning that seemingly affordable vacation into a pricey road-trip.

An Apple Vacation to the Caribbean or Mexico is a vacation for the whole family. In fact, mom, dad and the kids have the luxury of doing it all or doing nothing at all. On an Apple Vacation, there's no cooking, no cleaning, no laundry. The shore without the chores is a vacation the whole family will enjoy.

Shore Without the Chores packages include roundtrip airfare, all meals, snacks, drinks, activities, non-motorized water sports, roundtrip transfers to/from the airport, tips, plus daily maid service—meaning everyone gets the break they deserve! Seven all-inclusive nights in a first-class, beachfront resort, such as the Grand Palladium Bavaro Resort & Spa in Punta Cana, starts from just $2,999.96 for a family of four.

LizAnn Cruciani and her family normally spend vacations on the Jersey Shore, but this summer, the family plans to trade the chores of the shore for the tranquility of the tropics. "I am trying to plan a vacation without breaking the bank," Cruciani said. On past trips, taking her three boys to the boardwalk was costly thanks to food, rides, and entertainment, in addition to expensive accommodations.

In fact, an all-inclusive Caribbean or Mexican resort can be cheaper than the rental fee for a three-bedroom beach house in July or August, which easily start out at $3,800 a week. Then there are food, entertainment and even travel expenses. Add this to the price of the accommodations and vacation costs can soar to over $6,700 for a family of four.

With Apple Vacations, families save thousands – less than $3000 for an Apple Vacation or $6,700 for a week at the shore. Apples to Apples – there's no comparison.
