All-Inclusive System
Any Russian tourist planning a trip to popular resorts around the world has heard of the “All-Inclusive” meal system more than once. This concept implies the provision of all necessary services for a pre-agreed amount. The “All-Inclusive” system allows tourists to avoid unexpected expenses. In other words, tourists don’t have to worry about paying for meals, drinks, beach loungers, entertainment, and much more.
The ALL-Inclusive service is typically offered in 4- or 5-star hotels. Guests at such hotels can use not only the bar for free but also beach amenities, accompanying equipment, and much more. It is worth noting that the “All-Inclusive” service has several varieties. For example, many resort hotels in Turkey, Egypt, and other countries offer the Ultra All-Inclusive service. In such hotels, tourists have access to a vast array of additional services and amenities. Additionally, many countries have hotels that provide services like Mini, Imperial, Mega All-Inclusive, etc. It should be emphasized that such a meal and accommodation system is especially convenient when traveling with children.
Accommodation
In hotels operating under the “All-Inclusive” system, the main service is to provide comfortable accommodation for guests. Typically, the All-Inclusive system includes accommodation in comfortable rooms equipped with all necessary infrastructure. In particular, 5-star hotels operating under the “All-Inclusive” system must have a bed, a bathroom in the room, a set of bedding and towels, a lounge chair, a hairdryer, a mini-bar, air conditioning, a set of dishes, a bathrobe, internet access, a mini-safe, etc.
Moreover, accommodation in 5-star hotels operating under the All-Inclusive system includes access to a swimming pool with a sauna, a spa, several restaurants, etc. Guests planning to stay in this type of hotel should clarify in advance what services will be included in the accommodation cost. Often, All-Inclusive implies providing additional services for an extra fee. In any case, accommodation under the “All-Inclusive” system should be of the highest standard. This applies not only to the features of hotel rooms but also to the quality of staff service. Hotels of this class should employ multilingual staff who are ready to assist guests at any time of the day.
Dining
One of the key factors in choosing a hotel operating under the All-Inclusive system is the quality of dining. According to hotel business terminology, “All-Inclusive” dining means that breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the accommodation price. These meals are most often served buffet-style. Additionally, the accommodation cost also includes the possibility of ordering ice cream, desserts, and drinks throughout the day. In some hotels, additional meal options are available, such as afternoon tea, brunch, or lunch.
Regarding the Ultra “All-Inclusive” system, guests can expect a wider selection of dishes, drinks, and desserts. Furthermore, many hotels operating under the Ultra All-Inclusive system serve food almost around the clock. Guests at such hotels can also enjoy dinner in restaurants, grill bars, and night bars, where service is provided from a menu.
The aforementioned dining options are most commonly found in modern hotels in Turkey, Egypt, Cyprus, the UAE, Spain, Thailand, and many other resort countries.
Types of Service
Any tourist vacationing All-Inclusive knows that hotels operating under this principle provide their guests with almost unlimited services. First and foremost, this includes the ability to enjoy delicious meals, desserts, and drinks around the clock. Additionally, the range of services in such hotels includes access to spa centers, gyms, beauty salons, and more. Some prestigious hotels may have an on-site water park with numerous water attractions available to any guest.
Speaking of service in All-Inclusive hotels, it is worth mentioning the entertainment service. Guests at such hotels will not be bored for a second, as they will be offered numerous contests, competitions, and entertainment.
All-Inclusive hotels also provide the opportunity for a comfortable rest on their private beach or by the pool. To ensure such relaxation, the hotel provides umbrellas and comfortable sun loungers. In addition, this accommodation system may include services such as room service, free bar service, access to a sauna, tennis court training, entertainment in an amusement park, etc.
Beverages
One of the main advantages of All-Inclusive is the ability to enjoy any drinks for free in the bars located on the hotel grounds. In most hotels, this service is available throughout the day. Specifically, the “All-Inclusive” system allows ordering drinks such as vodka, gin, white and red wine, tequila, mineral water, juice, Coca-Cola, Fanta, and Sprite. Additionally, tea and coffee are always available to hotel guests.
Before booking a room in an All-Inclusive hotel, tourists should clarify the quality and country of production of alcoholic beverages. For example, Turkish and Egyptian hotels often serve locally produced alcohol. Unfortunately, such alcohol significantly lags behind imported counterparts in taste. It is worth noting that in such hotels, it is usually possible to purchase imported alcoholic beverages, but this is typically done for an additional fee.
In conclusion, it should be noted that in most hotels, the consumption of alcohol is only permitted in specialized restaurants and bars. Additionally, alcoholic beverages may also be available in the mini-bar located in the hotel room.
