For example, if you are one of those who require top-shelf liquor expect to pay extra. Some resorts have started to charge
extra for bottled water or bottled drinks.Certain additional activities, depending on the resort will cost extra – deep-sea fish- ing, spa treatments and offsite excursions are just a few. Lower price packages often don't include roomservice. When planningmeals, some properties don't have 24-hour restau-
rant access. Booking flights at anytime is an inconvenience most of us would rather avoid. All-inclusive packages don't necessarily
include flights and those that do only cover airfare from a nearby airport, like Miami to the Caribbean. The psychology of all-inclusive makes it sound great, but depending on circumstances like time of year or the package
selected, booking a more traditional vacation might be cheaper. There is nothingworse than checking out froman all-inclusive and seeing a folio loadedwith extra charges—-soASK,ASK, ASK before booking.
