Great tips! I would to that list the following : Don't try to drink all the alcohol in the hotel. You won't be able to do it and instead you'll end up with a bad hangover taking you out of action or worse yet alcohol poisoning. Now the pool chair hoarders should be hated by every single person who's on vacation 😂😂😂

I'd say and add on to the tip situation, "be nice to people", a lot of times I see people go to these types of resorts and they think they're royalty with a cadre of servants. And they always wonder why I get taken care of faster and better than them, which just makes them more obstinate. Being nice and friendly to staff goes a loooong way

Great tips, Walter! Let me share two more mistakes: 1. Make sure the room mini bar and the room service are included too. That's not always the case. 2. If there's anything wrong with your reservation you can ask for an upgrade in your status in the resort that can include exclusive beaches, beverages or experiences.

Hi Walter, great video! I've only done all inclusive in cancun and need to warn people about the time-share sales people. If you get caught just being nice (hearing them out but not having any intention on investing in a time share), you will literally waste hours if even a whole day of your trip.

I kind of knew the time share people were part of the deal, but I was surprised how annoyed I was by them. I just stopped answering the phone in the room and saying no to most free gifts offered by hotel "staff." If I liked all-inclusives more, I think I might pay more money to NOT hear sales pitches.

I made the mistake of going to one presentation in exchange for dinner at an exclusive beach restaurant. They were unbelievably incessant and persistent. They had one closer after another after another. I was starting to think we could never leave. When we were finally through after wasting an entire morning (we were told it would be no longer than two hours), the girl leading us around told the host a secret word probably meaning we didn’t buy anything and he gave us a voucher for some lousy breakfast at a stupid time that we ended up not even using. When we asked about the dinner we were promised he said he didn’t know anything about it. just say no no matter what they offer and enjoy your own time.

Extra mistakes: 1) Underestimating the strength of the sun on your first day, not putting on sun tan lotion, and getting the worst sunburn of your life 2) If you're a drinker: not going to every single bar and finding the best bartender, who you tip well and are guranteed to have the tastiest/strongest drinks 3) Enjoying said bartenders drinks too much, and nursing a hangover the next day.

No resort can have a chair for every single person simultaneously and people who "claim" them and then leave them unused for hours are just making sure others have a bad time.

Hi, Wolter! I'm really enjoying your videos, specially the ones from my lovely Dominican Republic. One tip at DR in the event you need to buy clothes, footwear or things like bugs spray, sunblock or anything you fancy: Just head for the public mall outside the resort premises, specially if in the Punta Cana area. There are several malls where you can buy almost anything at very affordable prices, some things even at the same price or even cheaper than at your country of origin. There's even an Ikea. You'll have to go outside of course, but it will be completely worth it.

Adult resorts are not always more relaxing! Don't book there thinking "Oh thank God, it's all grown ups, no kids running around." Stag(ette) excursions can be the most obnoxious bunch of fellow resortees. People go there to have a good time, whether they remember it or not. Family ones have some semblance of 'down time' or 'after hours'. If that's your game, then you'll love it but don't book mum and dad's 50th anniversary gift at an adult resort without looking into it. With adult ones, sometimes the noise goes 24hrs and you often find 'puddles' in corners and against the sides of buildings. If lying in the sun and peaceful relaxation is more your thing, read the reviews and watch for things like "boring", "small", "nothing to do" - THOSE are the best!

We stay at the Barcelo in Aruba. Been to Punta Cana 5 times, stayed at all-inclusive each time. We feel it is the way to go. When we were in DR we were told not to venture out on our own unless on an excursion, so that was really the only time we left the resort, and were able to see some of the country. We did the same thing in Mexico. We only left the resort on an excursion, that was it. When we go Aruba, even though it is safer to leave the resort, we still do all inclusive, cause eating every meal out, and drinking, especially in Aruba is crazy expensive. We have our breakfast and lunch in the resort and maybe go out for dinner a couple times.Having done all inclusive on all our trips, we pretty much know what to expect and yes, we ask questions too. Your video will be very helpful to first timers.

Great content! I've also experienced an all-inclusive that everything was timed. Was only available at certain times, bars closed extremely early, you had to make reservations in person at the front desk by 8 in the morning to get one of the restaurants. So if you didn't get your fill or keep some food and drink in your room you were pretty much out of luck.

Dunno, I found that all-inclusive might be great when travelling with small kids but otherwise it kinda locks you in. We started doing half-board instead because it forces you to get out and eat somewhere else, visit places. Also alcohol/cocktails in all-inclusive tends to be not-what-you-usually-want.

I've only been to one AI resort and they had a watermelon juice machine, self-serve. I drank 13 glasses that first day and levelled off to about 8 glasses per day. Best thing ever! Good that I didn't have a bigger glass! I also found the buffet to be exactly what you said, cafeteria food that appeals to Europeans. So Much Bread. There were two pots of local dishes for dinner but they were the same thing over and over, a delicious bell pepper stew. I had a nice encounter with an employee when I showed him I could write my name in Arabic, he was thrilled. The overwhelming memory of that trip though, was the heat and humidity and insufficient AC of the Maghreb in July.

@Jake-go8pz Жыл бұрын

Tipping.....underrated on cruises and all inclusive resorts. If you want service, then you are competing with everyone else that is there. After the first 2-3 days, the staff will recognize you, and treat you differently. You will be at the beach or bar and servers will come up to you regularly. At the restaurants, you will get whatever you want, and food off the menu. It doesn't take much to set yourself apart from everyone else. Most don't tip at all.

I've been to quite a few All inclusives & most of them have been to the Domincan. Which they seem to just have a variation of levels of services, so u get better pools, better beaches, better restaurants. I just booked Antigua & didn't realize that if I would've booked directly w the resort, there's a whole big list of extras we would've received. Room upgrades, restaurant upgrades & coffee delivered to our room in the morning. I should've checked this before I booked. I thought I was well informed when it came to booking vacations. I deeply regret not researching this first. I just looked for the best price. So FYI, if you're booking a new hotel just research what specific deals individual resorts have. Also, I did look at reviews before I booked but I never saw anything about it

Local food - we have stayed at several all-inclusives in Mexico, at the buffet my bland/picky eater partner follows the American/Canadian guests, I queue up for whatever the Mexican guests are eating. Tipping, shopping, we use local currency exclusively, as to use the Almighty U.S. dollar, we are Canadian so we get dinged twice on exchange rates, and you get quoted the 'gringo price'. Same often applies to credit card use. Good point on the outrageous prices for commodity items from the resort shops, bring it with you or go off-site to buy.

Chock full of useful, practical tips. Excellent! I’ve never stayed at an all-inclusive resort but I have to say, they sound pretty rubbish. I think maybe denying yourself something (say the opportunity to go out to a local restaurant to enjoy local food and culture) just because you’ve already paid for it in the resort, is a mistake. Maybe another way of looking at it, is to reflect on the cost of airfare, etc to get to that location and plan to enjoy all it has to offer, whether within the resort or not. Maybe I’d choose to stay in an all-inclusive just for a few days if it had something I was especially looking for (say a great beach or water sports) but combine it with a stay in a nice city hotel where I’d have the freedom to eat out, shop and just soak up the vibe. But then my kids are all grown and it’s just my wife and myself.

These are all great tips! One that I will add is, when ordering adult beverages the bartenders usually put a very small amount of booze in your drink to keep costs down for the resort. I learned to order my drink plus order an extra “shot” of whatever booze goes into it so I can dump it into the drink myself for the full flavor. & you are absolutely right about learning a few words of the local language, not only is courteous to put forth a little effort but as soon as the staff realizes that you are truing to speak their language they seem to become very appreciative of the effort & they love to help you with pronunciation & new words! Ask them about where they’re from, ask them about their culture, if you aren’t going to foreign countries to learn about the region & the people then what’s the point???

My “tip” is not to bring $2 bills. Since they are rare, some places don’t accept them. I got to know a bar tender pretty well on a cruise and he was telling me that the crew all exchange their $2 bills for $1 ones because a lot of places don’t take them.

US currency doesn’t use $2 bills. They were scammed?

Dang, I wish I knew about the large cup trick in the past. I would love to have had a 20 oz beer rather than having to get four 5 oz ones.

Thank you for this wonderful and informative video. We are thinking of going to Dominican republic but the length of flight worries me. Over 9 hours from uk. Most I've flown is 3 hrs. Any tips? 😊

I’m going to an all inclusive resort in Mexico.. The all inclusive includes gratuities and food and access to all restaurants. The only extra charges are for special order wines at mealtime … am I expected to tip for drinks or restaurant meals that are part of the all inclusive price. and if so how much?
