What an all-inclusive holiday includes

All-inclusive is a board description, not a universal list. The detail belongs in the hotel and organiser terms.

Usually included

Many plans include buffet meals, selected local drinks and some hotel entertainment. Exact serving hours and venues vary.

Often restricted

Premium drinks, à la carte meals, water sports, spa treatments and off-site activities may cost extra.

Compare the whole package

Check flights, bags, transfers, room type and board details together. A lower headline price can cover less of the trip.

Read the restaurant rules

Some hotels require reservations or limit à la carte visits. Others use meal credits or exclude particular venues. Check these details for the dates of your stay.

Budget for what sits outside

Keep money for local charges, excursions, tips where appropriate and any food or drinks away from the hotel. All-inclusive rarely means every part of the trip is prepaid.
