I've never stayed at an all-inclusive resort. I'd love to hear some feedback about these resorts. From what I know of, all-inclusive means free activities, meals, and drinks. Are there restrictions that I should know about? As for activities, I know the resort lists their available free activities.
I'm only expecting about 20 guests total. I don't think we will qualify for group rates, or intend on having a formal reception. And it seems like the costs per night versus a non inclusive resort are similar. Am I wrong? Is all-inclusive a money saver or more expensive?
How does this work for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? What about alcohol? Can I go to any bar or restaurant at anytime of the day whether it be 10am or 11pm and grab a drink or a meal?
