As easy-breezy as all-inclusive resorts purport to be—and actually are—you should still know how to get the most bang for your buck during your stay, even before you even check in. Nightly rates at an all-inclusive are higher than at a hotel that doesn’t fold in meals and drinks, so why not maximize your experience? Whether it’s fully enjoying the array of dining facilities and watering holes, or finagling your way into the spa pool, we’ve got some tips to get the most of your vacation, along with key pointers on what not to do. Understanding the social norms at an all-inclusive resort is a great place to start, leaving you more time to relax in your lounge chair or build in another beach walk, instead of stressing about what’s included and what’s not, or how to avoid sticking out like an unseasoned, prickly traveler in paradise.
Don’t Skip Reading the Fine Print
Many travelers assume “all-inclusive” means everything is included, but that’s rarely true. Premium drinks, special dining experiences, or off-site excursions often come at an extra cost. If you don’t review your package details carefully, you might face unexpected charges on your final bill. Always double-check what’s covered before you arrive so you can budget wisely.
