All-inclusive resorts are a huge hit with tourists looking for the ultimate lavish experience, where everything you wish for is fully covered. They pride themselves on offering unlimited food and drinks, but there are certain things that won’t always be included in your package, and these three fall under that category.

Room Service

Room service isn’t always a part of an all-inclusive offer, and even when it is, it doesn’t really come free. Even if there’s no extra charge included in having food delivered to your room, you’ll be expected to tip the staff, and the expenses will pile up if you do this frequently.

Top-Shelf Alcohol

Unlimited beer, wine, and basic cocktails are usually included in the all-inclusive offer, but the same can’t be said about top-shelf alcohol. If you’re in the mood for some specialty drinks, such as premium brands of whiskey, tequila, or champagne, you’ll usually have to pay extra.

Gourmet Experiences

All-inclusive resorts offer extensive free buffets that cover breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but specialty dining experiences may cost you extra. If you’re in the mood to explore some gourmet experiences or visit à la carte restaurants located inside the resort, you’ll usually be required to make a reservation and pay extra.
