I spent 2 nights at an all-inclusive resort. My biggest regret was going alone.

Business Insider's reporter traveled solo to Mohonk Mountain House, an all-inclusive resort in New York.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider I didn't think twice about booking a solo stay at an all-inclusive resort, but I should have.

Even though I travel alone most of the time, my stay would have been more fun with a companion.

From the dining room to archery class, I was vacationing among families and groups.

When my arrow went straight into the woods while trying archery for the first time, it should have been hilarious.

If I'd had family or friends around, they would have teased me for ages and probably come up with some funny nickname, like Joey "The Arm" Hadden.

But as a lone wolf surrounded by groups of vacationers, it was just awkward.

This was in July, when I spent two nights at the all-inclusive Mohonk Mountain House in New Paltz, New York.

With a starting rate of $1,400 a night for double occupancy (though Business Insider received a media rate), my booking included meals and access to most of the hotel's activities.

Joey Hadden/Business Insider Overall, I had a blast at Mohonk Mountain House.

The dramatic natural landscape, historic architecture, and abundance of activities blew me away.

Still, I'd never been to an all-inclusive resort alone before, even though I'm an avid solo traveler , and I left wishing I'd brought someone to share the experience with.

I was surrounded by families Mohonk Mountain House has been ranked among the top all-inclusive resorts for families in the US, and it was easy for me to see why.
