Mistakes 1st Time Travelers Make at All-Inclusive Resorts

I think it's wrong for companies to advertise all-inclusive then say so and so and such and such is not included

I would also add a note about the wristband. It helps to have some way to hide it if you go off resort. Maybe a bracelet or watch. The street scammers will pick up right away with the whole "hey, remember me from the *your resort*?".

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 😂😂😂

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.

$32 for sunblock!! I have never been to an all-inclusive, but this is one thing I'll never forget! 😂

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

I hate the towels on the chair people.

Mistake #1 don’t get sucked into those presentations for travel clubs ! My husband made me go to one for a free excursion . Wasted 3hrs of my vacay . Nice excursion tho

I find that the benefits can be skewed toward alcohol drinkers a lot. We planned an all inclusive cruise that excluded tea from "all-inclusive" drinks. A family of 6 that doesn't take a drop of alcohol but has to pay more for a pot of tea at breakfast. Smh

It's incredible that you're able to interact with time travelers and learn their ways.

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.

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.

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.

1. Check out show schedule & activities. Those can be great. 2. Sometime different buffet restaurants can have different food. For example, if this buffet doesn’t have the oxtail that you want, maybe the other ones will.

All inclusive resorts are like cruise ships on land. That’s how I think of them.

Wow that's a lot of information. I haven't been to an all inclusive in years, so this is helpful 😊

I'm actually planning to go to an All-Inclusive in Sept-October so this is a great video! (Tell you son I definitely always tip AND it is a good reminder for people too!) Thanks, guys!

Like always. Great Advice!

If you’re staying at a higher end resort a lot of these don’t apply. Resort chains like secrets, couples, excellence, etc. walk you through everything. The food quality is much more higher end than a Barcelo, riu, Bahia, etc. You def get what you pay for with an all Inclusive. The higher end resort chains also don’t have wrist bands.

So many great reminders!! You're so close to 1 million subs! So excited for you, Mark!!
