All-Inclusive Resorts – Hidden Fees
Not all All-Inclusives are the same. While some all-inclusive resorts cover just
about everything, others will have you spending more money than you may have
anticipated.
1. Airport Transfers.
Many resorts do not include these. You
could end up spending about $20-$100 per person for roundtrip airport
transfers, depending on how far your resort is from the airport.
2. Gratuities.
Some resorts have a “no-tipping” policy,
and gratuities are included in the room cost. At others, you will be expected
to tip your room attendant, bartender and servers.
3. Dining Upcharges.
While food is typically included at
all-inclusive resorts, some allow only a certain amount of dinners at the specialty
restaurants and the rest have to be at the buffet. Also, some charge an
additional fee for Lobster or the nicer restaurants.
4.
Drink
Upcharges.
Some resorts include top-shelf liquor and
all mixed drinks, while others provide standard drinks and charge extra for the
premium brands.
5. Activities & Spa Services
A lot of all-inclusive resorts include
activities onsite at no additional charge such as land sports, snorkeling, and
kayak rental. Some include more than others, and many charge for any type of
motorized water sports. Off-Site excursions are typically not included and spa
services are not included at all-inclusive resorts.
