15 Surprising Costs Of All-Inclusive Resorts: Do They Really Save You Money?
2. Decoding "Included" Drinks: Basic Tipples vs. Premium Pour Costs
"Unlimited drinks" usually means house wine, local beer, and well liquors. Craving that top-shelf vodka or a specific imported beer? Expect to pay extra, often $5-$15+ per drink above what you've already "pre-paid" in your package. Some ultra-luxury AIs include premium brands, but most mid-range options don't. Helpful Comparison: If you enjoy premium spirits, a $70/day beverage package might seem steep, but if you’d spend $100/day on individual top-shelf drinks à la carte, it’s a win. Assess your preferences honestly.
