Are Drinks & Meals Included? Yes!
Many guests wonder what “all-inclusive” really means when booking a resort vacation. Here’s a breakdown so you know exactly what to expect.
“All-inclusive” is designed to give you peace of mind during your vacation, allowing you to enjoy meals and drinks, without worrying about paying separately for each service. Always confirm the details for your resort so you know exactly what’s included in your stay.
Gratuities are not mandatory and are not included in the price of your stay. However, we highly recommend bringing small bills to tip the hardworking resort staff. Tips are greatly appreciated and often remembered by staff, making a meaningful impact on your experience.
What Is an All-Inclusive Resort?
An all-inclusive resort is a property that bundles accommodations, meals, drinks, and other services into a single price. Instead of paying separately for food, drinks, and certain activities, most of your vacation expenses are included upfront.
What Does “All-Inclusive” Usually Include?
While inclusions can vary by resort, most all-inclusive packages cover:
-
Meals: Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and often snacks at the resort’s restaurants or dining areas, typically 24 hour room service is included, but not guaranteed at every property
-
Beverages: Soft drinks, juices, water, coffee, tea, and often alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, cocktails)
-
On-Site Activities: Access to pools, Water parks, beaches, fitness centers, and some daily resort-organized activities.
What May Not Be Included
Some resorts may charge extra for certain items or services, such as:
-
Premium or specialty restaurants
-
Spa treatments or massages
-
Excursions or off-site activities
-
Room service beyond standard inclusions
It’s always a good idea to check the specific resort’s inclusions when booking, as “all-inclusive” can differ slightly from property to property.
