Sneaky Ways All-Inclusive Resorts Get You To Spend Money

- All-inclusive resorts seem great. You pay an up-front price, then you get to spend a week drinking on the beach, dining under palm trees, and relaxing next to the pool. It can even feel like you're saving money. And for those with a big appetite, that’s probably true. But for others, you could actually end up spending more.

Sneaky Ways All-Inclusive Resorts Get You To Spend Money
I'm sorry but if ur flying around the world and hiring a Butler, I'm really doubting these kind of people are worried about up-charges.
johnny doenuts ur right
Yeah why are you traveling and spending that much money if your not already rich in the first place. If you haven’t made it yet why are you on a holiday. Your not a millionaire yet. What is the video 😂
Phurlamu Sherpa you realize that all inclusive resorts aren’t that expensive if you manage your money well. My parents are middle class and go to one every year. I’m in grad school and am able to afford to go to one every once in awhile. Really, do your homework.
@@sonampaldensherpa I find more satisfaction from traveling than I do with buying physical things. It's been shown that traveling is far more rewarding than physical things. I'm 26 and am about to graduate with my PhD. People ask how I'm able to afford things, it's because I am smart with my money. You'll learn someday that traveling is the most rewarding investment you can make
Phurlamu Sherpa
That was my plan
"Are really going to get up for sunrise yoga" No
"Or eat 9 meals a day?" Challenge accepted
yes!! besides, look at the size of those meals, I can eat them all for lunch (I'm not fat)

"You are looking anywhere between 30-40% discount in hurricane season ".
*sipping margarita in the middle of hurricane
If you book in hurricane season it only means there's a possibility. I work in Saigon and during the rainy season it doesn't rain everyday yet prices for hotels are cheaper.
SharkNado
Thats what I do here in Florida
That's why we go to Florida, isn't it?
my dad thought it was a good idea to book a holiday during these time.
He got a 4 days out of 5 trapped in his bedroom watching the rain....
Hotel refused to let guests leave for safety reasons.
“The price per person is half the price of a two person room.” Stay tuned for other amazing secrets just like this one!
Gareth Bristow but it’s true... when I book a hotel room you book the room not charge per person.
I get how you think it's stupid but that's not what she meant by 2 person room
Usually, a single person in a double or twin room does not pay half the price - they usually pay a 'single supplement' so it works out around 3/4 the price. Traveling on your own is much more expensive in general.
@LLT Collection well she meant that it's advertised as "only $3,000 per person!". But you have to be smart and realize "huh... we have 2 people so that would be $6,000 total".
🤣 🤣 🤣
There's nothing unusual here, this is what all humans do when running a business.
Luxus Häuser well said
Exactly
That's how capitalism works. If you open a resort and charge the customer the same amount you put into it, then you earn exactly $0. They need to get you to spend more to keep their business alive.
Its business pretty much
None of this information applies to me. All of my all inclusive resorts included flight and alcohol. December was the best month for me to go. All the food and drinks were great quality. No excursions included, but I could easily go through a 90 min time share meeting to get that for free. I actually almost broke even on one trip because of all that.
I’ve always been confused about why fishing trips are so expensive. A few dudes running a boat are able to get $250 a person and get 10+ people. Makes me think I’m doing the wrong businesss
Supply and demand
Gas is extremely expensive
@@ascopaplays1878 not enough to cost 100s per person.
Same as hiring a mechanic, you're not paying him to do the job in 20 minutes. You're paying for the 20 years of experience that let's him do the job in 20 minutes.
youre paying for the boat and fuel, which are far from cheap lol. my brother has just a normal personal fishing boat (regulator) and it was 200k and its atleast 1200$ to fill with diesel at 4-5$ a gallon which is like 2 short fishing trips. bigger boat = higher fuel = charging 250$ a head

@@noname_joe4854 bro stfu
This video could have been way shorter, just say: all-inclusive offers include only the things listed, there is just the requirement to read carefully what it is included.
Moreover I think that exploing the area where you're staying for vacation is quite obvious, so wheter you have an "all-inclusive" offer or not you will pay for everything outside of your hotel/village.
Prettu basic and normal stuff I'd say.
I agree. When I think of all inclusive, I think of food and drink (some alcohol), some activities. I don't expect a butler without paying for it in some way. I don't expect an ocean view room without paying for it in some way. I don't expect to go SCUBA diving for free. I don't expect Michelin dining.
i think most of the stuff is just common sense like if someone was going to book something i highly doubt they would just not think of these things tbh who would go somewhere and think ‘oh i wont bother bringing any more money its all inclusive’
You spend a lot of money, but that's normal. That's how capitalism works. The resorts charge you more than they invested into the resort, to earn a profit. Same way a buffet works.
I always thought all-inclusive meant everything is free, would have walked away the second they push this and that for an upcharge.
It's all fun and games at a resort until u see your final bill
Hey! I did not order doctor do me a little or shaving private Ryan.
"resorts get you to spend money"
waite a minute i dnt have money lol
That’s why you still haven’t left your hometown, and won’t ever travel nowhere. Poor people don’t travel
Oh yeah, those semi-submerged on the beach beach patio chairs cost $50.00 to rent each.
albear972
Wtf
It doesn't even look comfortable.
I did it once, novelty wears off after 15 mins....
It is free at my All inclusive resort
50 pounds per chair? Just to rent? OMG!!
As someone who works in customer support for the calls to these hotels, I can confirm this to be 1000% true and if you're not taking the time to thoroughly read through the terms and conditions of the contracts you're signing, you're absolutely screwing yourself over and you cannot blame ANYONE else but yourself for NOT reading it.
I bet you have a lot of ~great~ conversations with ~SO nice~ customers 😉😂
My family has always gone on an all inclusive holiday every year, one we didn't and it cost over £2000 is food and drinks for 12 night. As a family of 6 going all inclusive is MUCH cheaper 😂
Oh well, as a Dominican, I love to say that these places are awesome, because as we're not looking for the same adventures and discoveries as some international travelers are and mostly just want to relax in the beach, dance in the disco and drink a lot, all-inclusive resorts are really worth it, and I have some of them as far away as 45 minutes driving from home
But the Dominicans like me who live internationally, we gotta pay to go back to our beautiful island 😭😭😭
@@luzkairyromero8167 That's truly sad, but I guess nothing compares to the feeling you have every time you come back, right?
Aside from the massive upcharge for exploring the area, most of these charges seem pretty reasonable to me and not too different from the cruise industry upcharge. Since I don't drink alcohol, I actually think I'd be pretty happy with an all-inclusive, especially an all-meals resort more to not have to think about than as a tool to save money. But I am glad to have an idea of what to budget for when I'm there especially in regards to gratuities since as a New Zealander I'm really not a customed to tipping.
If you’re not a savage beast who needs to be doing something different everyday, places like this can be decent for the money! I don’t drink either, so it would definitely be cheaper for us to go compared to some others.
I've only done an all-inclusive once, for a wedding near Cancun, and I was impressed with how few things actually cost extra. Only the things you'd expect were extra like scuba diving, massages, or excursions. Everything else, including asking for higher quality alcohol or going to the ala carte restaurants or room service, was included. Mind you this was a somewhat expensive resort for the area but I think it ended up being a fair value even though I left the resort nearly every day. Just the breakfast, dinner, alcohol, nice room, excellent pools, etc was worth the price. Not sure I'll ever do it again since I'm not really into relaxing at a resort for a vacation, but for those that do want that I'd recommend it.
Same thing with going on a Cruise. You just have to pay attention to what's included and what's not and it's totally possible to pay essentially nothing extra.
My cheap ass would be eating pizza and coca cola til I puke it out. 💀💀
Reporter: They’ll split it as 3,000 is more affordable

My mom used to work at a all inclusive resorts at corporate. She was trying find ways to make people spend money once you get there. It is crazy how many ways they try to get ur money.
In reality...
People don't care much as long as they enjoy it.
They won't enjoy the fact it costed you way less but it was not as enjoyable as these.
“But all that spending is not necessarily YOUR fault, it has to do with YOUR psychology” 😂😂😂
Translation: You are gullible and are susceptible to subliminal messages and product placement.
I mean I went to 2 all inclusive resorts in 2019 and the average price for everyday was like $95 and that included everything. $95 per day is already cheaper than your average Marriott in the city by at least $50-200. I stayed at the Barcelo Bavaro in Punta Cana and Excellence Maya Riveria in Cancun for reference.
$95 per day for excellence... You mean on top of the room right? Lol
I paid $600 for 2 a night all inclusive. Well reason why is expensive because it includes all food and berages, 8 parks like xplor, xenses, xavage, xoxilmco, xel-ha, the ruins, cenotes, xcaret. So it worth it. But if u just going to stay in the hotel with all benefits of the parks, not worth it.
We went to Maldieves and got an all inclusive package. Best trip ever. We were not big drinkers so the drink package was just a little more than what he had but otherwise it was perfect. For us All Inclusive is the way to go. We also had a butler to our water villa, he made everything easy.
You mean I have to pay for items not included in my original itinerary?
HOW SHOCKING! SCAM!
how they trick you:
"they say $3000 per person, but they charge you 2 people $6000"
woaww...... i never tought that :):):):):)
"they also charge you extra for helicopter tours" , woaw i did not know that, what a rip off!!!!
"they also trick you as the tips for drivers and waiters are not included" woaw..... hahahahaha
"obvious way restaurant taking your money" *TIPPING*
Tipping goes to the poor native, who depends on it for a complete wage. I always take a hundred in small bills to tip.
@Mike G Imagine the server also has this attitude....
@@shino8854
Wtf " poor native" . Nobody tips in most of the world.
Usually in the UK we don’t tip anyone
shino88 it’s just the culture in US cause y’all don’t pay your waiters enough.
"But you'll even find wellness, fitness and even skiing all-inclusive resorts *across the globe* "

The resorts in the Caribbean islands except Cuba are very expensive compared to mexico or Dominican republic. Saint Lucia is bery expensive . I went last week to a resort in Cuba , flight transfers rooms food a bevarages all day for 609 Cad per person 🥰
Wow I hope I can go again! I'm american and we have rules now that we cant go. :/ Cuban resorts are always my favorite!
Business insider didn’t do a good enough research.
My wife and I travel way to much and when sometime we go to an all inclusive hotel the plane ticket, transportation from the airport both ways is always included (sometimes the travel company included and excursion for free) the same thing goes In Mexico, Punta Cana, Jamaica etc. It all depends the company you use to make your booking and reservation. Once its al payed off ( Plane, Stay, Transport etc) all you need to put in your wallet is $200 - $400 dollars cash for the 7 or 9 day stay.
At arrival:
$5 to $10 tip for the bag
$10 at each of the bars you tend to frequent the first and second day (maybe in total $50)
Ask your cleaning lady when is her last day (They tend to work 21 days straight and 7 off) I give them 25 dollars in our last day. But if she says my last day is Wednesday then on Wednesday I’ll give her $15.
Butler service is always included in luxury stays, same with room service and alcohol in the fridge is always included no matter the status of your room.
Most All inclusive hotels include depending on how many days you stay a certain amount of dinners in different restaurants of your choosing if its a luxury restaurant you can book a restaurant for every day you stay ( Including: Lobster, Benihana style restaurant, fusion cusine etc etc) FOR FREE.
Alcohol: Luxury All inclusive include Premium Brand Alcohol with no charge. But if its not luxury is Bacardi, Jack Daniels, Red Label, sky Vodka etc.
Never book a tour online. Your travel agency has a company in the lobby. Most prices can be changed for example going in a Catamaran: Food, alcohol, snorkel etc can be $150-190 p/p but with your agent in the lobby and person In charged from your travel agency you can get it at 60 p/p or even less if you are with 5 people or more.
Traveling is very easy if you know how to do it.
For us its an adventure and we get our moneys worth every time.
Business insider: This video isn’t 50% truth.
PS: Who books a romantic dinner at the beach for $50 to $100 p/p NOONE DOES. It isn’t romantic at all, food gets cold quickly, there is a lot of wind and you feel very sticky at the end.
We can go all day on this subject. Need help traveling just contact me.
Mario Miranda I need help traveling like you
At 45 I've never been on a vacation. I've started researching but some things are confusing. Would love to know where you have been, what were pros and cons of each place, what were the catches, what are the dangers at that resort or place, and most importantly is how to get the best deals. Ever been to Philippines? It is one place I really want to go. Having a difficult time deciding on the best resort. There is so many!!
Sherry Barnette traveling its easy. Just do some research online. The best time to travel its in September and October, go to google flights, hopper and orbits and establish a date and destination ( they will email you when prices are going down), finding CZcams videos help for tourist destinations, site seeing and reviews ( sometimes in video people tell you about prices).
@@MMP787 thank you I will be taking your advice.
Forget Carribean, u can get a whole villa with private pool for $100-150 a day in Bali and can accommodate upto 4-6 guests easily.
Being from Jamaica, I can tell you guys that we have a multiple resorts here (and many of them are all inclusive), so everybody's free to choose whichever one is within their price range. Additionally, some tour packages are more expensive than others (and they feature the same places) so do your research before purchasing a tour package. Check the front desk or our online yellow pages for Tour agencies. You're welcome :)
Get it from Costco travel.
John Li Preach
Any good?
Gosh it sounds so expensive. As a local balinese person, come to Bali! It’s very cheap (and very beautiful here). Yes, the plane fee is expensive, but once you’re in Bali, it’s not that expensive at all! 5 star hotels can cost you around 60-80$ a night, and the all-inclusive ones don’t cost thousands, starts at 150$/900$ per week. And food is just so good and cheap here, we’re talking about 2-3dollars per meal. Now, yes, there are tourist traps, but tourist traps are all over the world. So if you travel wisely, you’ll have a great experience here.
1:19 is not the Bahamas, that is Saint Lucia 🇱🇨
you are correct sir - looks like the Jade Mountain: www.jademountain.com/
I literally just commented this too. This isn’t the first time insider has done this. I have been going there since I was a baby and love the people there like they are my family, it makes me mad when companies like this don’t get their information right.
@@toastycarp yeah, the Bahamas are pretty flat. Dunno how they messed that up.
Good catch, that is sloppy on their part
What is the name of this resort?
I had the absolute best time at my first and only all inclusive resort stay so far, not everyone needs a butler and spa to have a good time. Highly recommend going for somewhere with better quality food included though, it was amazing
Generally speaking I found most all-inclusives in Mexico to be pretty upfront about what's add on, etc. And from a drink and food standpoint, always been able to find good options in great surplus quantity. A few, like the palace resorts in Cancun, offer resort credit that can be used but you will still pay taxes on the listed total. Once again if you read most fine print it's clearly stated...
there should be one called sneaky ways youtube channels get you to binge videos
U got that right
This is so true!!i went to a resort in mazatlan mx !! I paid $3,000 pesos per person. The resort charged for wifi, towel card charge. food was bad, drinks were watered down.
Wow I definitely stayed at the right place because the resort I went to
-all alcohol and beverages are free
- room service is free
- all the restaurants are free
- automatic spa credit and free massage and manicure pedicure per room
this completely misses the point that Sandals and Beaches are LUXURY all-inclusive. the standards are 10x higher than other hotels. Sandals doesn't cater to guests pinching dollars. the lower end all inclusives are better deals. Basic hotels in the US charge $100-200/pn and everything other than the complimentary breakfast is $$$$
It's kind of silly to count going outside of the resort as some sort of sneaky tactic for extra charges. Of course anything done off the resort would be extra...
Some people can afford these holidays once or twice in their lifetime, so it would be better to splurge on city tours or excursions since the chances of visiting that country again would be slim to zero!
People who ended spends more on "All Inclusive" usually choose the cheapest option and then "upgrade the services" because they are restricted to do what they want.
i rather choose mid to high end option and i got :
- Room that have an infinity pool with ocean view
- Any restaurant are accessible
- All of resort features are accessible
The only thing i spend more money during my vacation is tip and gifts, i ended spend less money than if i choose the cheapest all inclusive option and upgrade many features.
WTF are all these bonus prices? I was on a week vacation in Egypt and it cost like 330 euros with the flight, transport to hotel and back, and an all inclusive package on a 5 star hotel per person. The prices are so different for Ameircan tourist destinations (I'm European). Wow
I watched a tv programme a while back. It compared two families, one all-inclusive, one who arranged everything themselves. For the basics, the all-inclusive was cheaper, and even with extras the all-inclusive was cheaper than arranging the same activities yourself. This was because the all-inclusive resort had arrangements with various businesses, so even off resort you will get discounts. For one evening, the families swapped. Both said food was similar in and out of the all-inclusive resort, but more expensive outside. The all-inclusive had clubs for adults and also children's entertainment that cost more outside.
I think the main point here is that you should expect the all-inclusive to be more expensive than you expect, but that even if you do not avail yourself of everything, it will still be cheaper than an almost identical holiday you organise yourself.
Personally though, I save most money, I haven't been on holiday since 2007, and that was for just two nights...and I resented every penny I spent 😀
That’s y u always go the ancient ways by only reading books inside yr room such that you don’t even need to use wifi.😂😂
wifi, gym,premium alcohol, bottled water in your room, in room safes are ways they sneak extra money from you. I always tip every waiter, maid who cleans my room and bartender. In Mexico they add money to a charity on your check out bill, you might not catch! I love AI because it means no thinking about where to go. And if you have kids, its fabulous, because kids are always needing to be fed!! Often kids are free with 2 paying adults.
Just read everything before booking to make sure all the activities you want to do while vacationing are included or if you're ok paying a fee to do them. Better yet, call a travel agent! Most agents take webinars and courses on resorts and chains so we know the details of what's included and what's not included. You may pay a small fee to book through an agent, but you're not paying their commission typically unless you're working with a greedy agency. We get paid commission without having to charge the customer extra. We only charge a fee for flights booked which is minimal at $35 per person. With that, our customers get access to 24/7/365 service after hours and the days we're closed. SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES!!!!!
All the millionares in the world : “shut up and take my money!!”
i went to cancun for cheap all included and its so easy to spend nothing and still have fun, the included buffet meals were fine although 70$ for 30 mins on a jet ski is steep lol
Watching this during the pandemic like HA! Travel is bleak right now lol
Good thing I'm rich........
In ramen, I can't even afford to think about vacation right now lol
You’re poor and loser, rich people don’t come to CZcams to watch and comment about their money
the canoe yoga and the dining while sitting in the ocean just makes me lol......
Get rich so u dont need to worry about money
Ghost2828247 Ghost i wish it was that easy
Amen to that
Even if I get rich ,never gonna spend just to be in nature
Watching this during Covid. Chuckling gently.
Didn’t spend anything other then tips (wasn’t required) and one excursion. No need for an ocean view room when barely in the room. Never was asked to upgrade. Room service was included along with drinks. Iberostar for the win.
Anyone that’s been to an all-inclusive resort literally knows about everything said in this video. No secret unless you’ve never been lol

"... Specially in hurricane season"
Who the heck goes to a hotel/resort during hurricane season???
Thank for the info , now I know to Keep on using Airbnb
As someone who lives where people come to vacation this is hilarious 😆
We stayed at Couples Tower Island in Jamaica. We had a lovely, bright room, food and drink when we wanted it. Snorkeling, kayaking, catamarans, a couple of day trips were included along with fun LOCAL entertainment. I wanted to relax, swim, lay on the beach with a good book and have absolutely zero responsibilities. It was perfect. We didn't need or want 99% of the services listed as extras. Nice, simple, relaxed atmosphere with a great staff. For a lot of us that's more than enough.
So yeah, for the best experience:
- book at Airbnb or similar service/local booking online service
- explore by yourself
- don't go to big popular cities
- don't go at popular season times
- take everything you need with you
- maybe learn local language in advance/practice it before going (if possible/applicable)
That will guarantee you the best experience and cultural experience for your money :)
My family and I went to Cuba at a 4 star all inclusive. We spent under 5k for a week flights drives and everything included. If you know what you are looking for, it’s really not that bad. Drinks were not watered down, trust me. And at the end of the day even buying shells, cigars and clothes. We managed everything well.
They are talking about higher end resorts that you pay a lot of money for any way. All the all inclusive vacations I have been on have always included airfare. If you are going to a lower end resort, it is easy to go to and not spend any money at all. The only time I end up paying is when I decide to take a bus ride from the resort to their closest city to explore a bit but that is optional.
How is uneaten meal money back to the resort, please elaborate. Cooked meals back to the resort ? Pause food doesn’t spoil?
These people have never been to a budget all inclusive resort,,, like this ain’t it chief
I won’t be waking up for sunrise yoga... but you better believe I’m getting at least my nightly rate in drinks alone every day
It heavily depends on what resort are you, some “cheap” all inclusive it will charge you for minibar, room service, phone calls, WiFi and so on but there are also all inclusive that all of that is actually included and there’s no that much difference in price, some people for trying to save a couple buck in the hotel because everything is extra they end it up spending way more that if you just pay for a little more expensive room in somewhere else hotel, just research before to make a purchase usually hotels has a number to call them directly and ask them what is actually and what is not
The best thing to do in any trip is ALWAYS have it planned 1 years ago and have the tickets and the hotels booked that early. You pay significantly less money overall.
Good that the pandemic helps us to save money on such things (hello from 2021)
what a great business "insider" this channel is.
meh, if i'm already on holidays I want to make the most of it and I wouldn't mind splurging if it's something I know I'd enjoy, and don't have the opportunity to do all the time. I feel like if I was to heavily budget for a vacation I'd be bitter the entire time I'm there, which defeats the purpose of one.
You only spend extra in an all inclusive if you are going all out, but if you’re cheap and know how to control your wallet an all inclusive can actually be pretty cheap and convenient

Covid-19: I'm 'bout to end this man's entire career!!!
"one of the fastest growing segments..." that didn't age well
So don't tip. I worked in Hospitality for a decade but would never expect a tip because I got paid a decent salary. Catch up America...
When you're there. The atmosphere makes you a spender
“Offer more amenities then you’ll use” that makes no sense, the teacher still has to get paid even if lots of students don’t go to the event - an expense
I go to all inclusives 2x a year. Don't go to Sandals unless you want to pay more. There are so many options. I've stayed at all inclusives with free cabanas.
City tour? How lame.
When we went to Saint Thomas for the week we stayed in an Airbnb that was $100 a night with ocean views literally 40 feet from the $600 a night resort
This feels like my mom is narrating the video
$50 - $100/ day tip to the butler ? Yeah right... Wishful thinking
Shayan Ansari it’s 15 percent of service
I don't understand how it counts as tipping if you are expected to do it. Taking my bags is their job, I'm not paying them on top of that. If they did an exceptional job, sure, but I wouldn't expect a tip just for the sake of it. czcams.com/video/Kal1yAZExwQ/video.html
Most people that get these are on their wedding, honeymoon, anniversary, cheating on your wife, bachelor party, the cycle repeats XD
This was a pretty informative video.
The liquor, including top shelf is watered down. I noticed that after day one and only drank beer. Never got a buzz...
That’s why you don’t stay at a Beaches or Sandals ...
$100 for a SCUBA certificate is very cheap. If it is PADI open water that doesn't even cover the costs to PADI. So it is a very good deal
To me, all inclusives sound like torture. I don't want to spend my vacation time lounging around and drinking! I can do that at home!!
I've done the all-inclusive thing a few times. Nothing is a surprise if you read the reviews beforehand. Also, they didn't discuss flight fees or anything in the video; which are generally much cheaper when booked as an "all-inclusive." Pro-tip: Pay for the direct bus transport from the airport. It's near priceless when you're on a bus and passing other peoples' resorts to be dropped off first. "Hey, you're passing our resort!? Sorry, you should have paid an extra $80."
This video comes from an interesting perspective. I had a gf drag me to an all inclusive in Cancun and the issue I had is that the food was super low quality. The non-smoking section was always closed. The restaurant had minimal hours. The service was rude. Basically it was just the opposite of luxury/quality. We ended up leaving the property for meals but that was hard bc we knew we had already paid for meals and now we had to add the cost of a cab to everything. I’ve never gone to another all-inc since. They’re for the Homestyle Buffet crowd.
"it's one of the fastest growing..."
