What To Know About Staying At An All-Inclusive Resort Part 6: What Exactly Is Included In A Typical All-Inclusive Resort?
For those of you new to staying at all-inclusive resorts, you may be wondering what exactly is included for the price you pay? Very relevant question and one that shouldn’t be taken for granted. A huge way to ruin a vacation is to have one or a multiple number of expectations about your stay and to be disillusioned as to what amenities and services you expect to receive once you are at a resort.
Check Out This Iberostar Resort In Cancun…
For those who haven’t recently stayed at an Iberostar resort, the brand has been undergoing some changes including name changes and the addition of adults-only sections. This is also true for the Iberostar property in Cancun; some people will remember this oddly shaped property in Cancun’s Hotel Zone as a Hilton resort, but the property changed hands several years ago and has added an adults-only separate building called Iberostar Selection Coral Cancun. The family-friendly section is called Iberostar Selection Cancun, and adults staying in the Coral section have access to the entire resort.

What To Know About Staying At An All-Inclusive Resort Part 4: Chair Hogging and What To Do About It…
One of the most complained about aspects of staying at an all-inclusive resort is that of dealing with “chair hogging”. You’ve probably run into this if you’ve stayed at any resort…You know, those guests who get up at 5 a.m. to “reserve” poolside/beach loungers or daybeds with a shoe, book, towel, practically anything they can get their hands on, go back to bed to sleep, and then show up around 12 noon or later (and quite possibly never show up at all) to claim their lounger. I’ve even seen incidents where one guest claimed primo loungers both poolside AND at the beach, but that was around 7 a.m. not 5 a.m.–I’m not typically a morning person so I even doubt if there is such a time as 5 a.m. In the meantime, other guests trying to get a lounger in a normal manner can’t find any, or wind up with less than desirable lounger locations such as no shade, far from the pool, obstructed views, or cramped spaces. Or even worse, guests may wind up with only one dilapidated lounger and have to share it which is not a very relaxing way to spend the day at the pool or beach.
