What exactly does all inclusive INCLUDE

Honeyblossom from The field -

Hey guys, what exactly does all inclusive include? If someone has a list, I would appreciate that. Or, basically any insight would help. We have been on one, but I can't really remember. Thanks, I guess I am losing my mind.

I would read the fine print to make absolutely sure. The last all inclusive I was on included: airfare, taxi to/from hotel, hotel, 3 meals (don't know if it included liquor as I don't drink). I had to pay the Islands tourist card fee and the countries exist tax.

I only ate breakfast at the hotel as there was much more interesting places to eat lunch and dinner. Much later (several trips later) I found where the locals ate breakfast and I would never eat a hotel breakfast there again.

Thanks Brad

Fine print will get you everytime!

If the all inclusive offered drinks (mixed) that would be wonderful. I am sure most don't include that.

I agree that it is much more fun to be able to pick the restaurants you want to eat at.

I think most people choose all inclusives because they don't want to have to think about any of the other stuff. For me, knowing that my meals were taken care of already and that I could have all the Diet Coke I wanted makes for a great vacation.

We took an all inclusive Cruise (most are I believe). And it did not include Liquor. It included food and soda. That was about it. Good thing about the Cruise line we went on, you are allowed to bring your own liquor on board, which is what we did! Saved us a ton of money!!

All inclusive generally means that airfare, transport to/and from airport, accommodation are included.

I always choose inclusive deals with only the breakfast included. I want to buy the lunch and dinner on my own.
