Whats really included in the hotel All Inclusive plan?  

 

If you have been following me you must know that I used to work in several hotels for over 10 years and all of them except 1 were "all inclusive" thats how I know all of this information. Lets start with the word "all" in my opinion they should not use this word because for me ALL = Everything and the way that hotels mean it its very different, when they refer to the "all inclusive plan/package" they are refering to "food and beverages" period. This means that spa, phonecalls, internet (in some cases), nanny service, tours, transportation, and other stuff are NOT INCLUDED in the "All Inclusive plan" me personally I think they should just refer to it as "Food and Beverages included" instead of "All Inclusive" but like I said thats just my very own opinion.

 

Yesterday I saw a post from a lady that was saying "if you have the "all inclusive plan" they should include you the transportation to and from the airport" (WRONG!!!!📣) the transportation is normally not included in the "all inclusive plan", some hotels include it and in most of the cases its only on the arrival and the real reason has nothing to do with the "package/plan" that you have. So if its not included in the all inclusive package why do some hotels include it? you really want to know? ok here it goes (but you are not going to like it) most of the "all inclusive" hotels are also "timeshare hotels" so thats the real reason, on your arrival they know that you are going to have a LOT of invitations from people in the airport to their "timeshare presentations" so thats their way of making sure that you dont accept none of them, that way once you arrive to their hotel nice and fresh they can make the invitation without you saying "I already have something to do tomorrow" because they schedule these "timeshare presentations" most of the times the next day after you arrive. So once you are leaving they really dont care to provide you the transportation to the airport because they are not running any risks anymore because nobody will bother you with invitations if they know you are going back home. But what if I am already a timeshare owner?, It doesnt matter, because if you are already a timeshare owner they also invite you to these Timeshare presentations to "upgrade" and you need to be very available.

 

✔️What are the pros of All Inclusive? and when do you recommend it? If you really want to relax and not leave your hotel the all inclusive plan is great because you dont have to worry about bringing your wallet eachtime you leave your room. Total stress free.

 

❌What are the cons of All Inclusive? and when we should not do it? If you really want to explore the area, go on tours, taste different types of food then you should not do it, also working in the all inclusive hotels I realized that there is even more delicious food in a cheap stand or not so fancy restaurant outside of the hotel and will not cost an arm or a leg, if you dont drink at all or drink just a little bit the all inclusive is not convenient for you either because they will charge you the same as a person who is drinking 24/7.

 

✳️My recommendations: To think really what are your plans prior booking any hotel or any plan/package, think if your are going to be active or just chillin in the hotel and choose the best option for you, your family and your budget💵.
