Eight Extraordinary All-Inclusive Inclusions

It’s not just about food, drink and a few activities. At some all-inclusive resorts, it’s all you can everything! Here are few all-inclusive perks you might not expect.

1. Phone calls

Can’t wait to tell the folks back home what a great time you’re having? Unlimited calls to the U.S. and Canada are included in the package price at the Hard Rock Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, so gab away.

2. Excursions

Who says going all-inclusive means never going off property? At Couples Tower Isle in Jamaica, your stay includes a free tour to the cascades at Dunn’s River Falls and a sunset catamaran cruise.

3. Guitar lessons

Hard Rock Punta Cana scores again by getting guests in the groove with free 48-hour loans of Fender electric guitars as well as 24-hour guitar lessons on the resort TV channel.

4. Butler Service

At Sandals Emerald Bay in the Bahamas, guests in select room categories enjoy the services of their own personal Jeeves, who’ll unpack, pack, and make restaurant reservations for you.

5. Homemade Cookies

At the Grenadines’ private-island all-inc Petit St. Vincent, a mason jar of complimentary homemade cookies awaits in your villa, and is replenished throughout your stay. Sweet!

6. Spa Treatments

Stressed? You won’t be after you take advantage of the daily spa treatment that’s included in the rates at St. Lucia’s Body Holiday.

7. Your Own Boat

Stay in one of the villas on Fowl Cay, an all-inclusive private-island resort in the Bahamas, and you'll also get your own motorboat (and driving lessons!) so you can explore the Exumas' idyllic islets and crystal-clear waters.

8. Access To Other Hotels

Need a change of scene? Guests at certain Sandals Resorts in Jamaica score complimentary use of the facilities at neighboring sister hotels, plus round-trip shuttles service between them.
