One of the best parts about a Beaches vacation is that the amount you budget for your luxurious vacation is exactly what you’ll spend. Your room fee covers all of your meals, drinks, water sports and activities. You cannot even tip the waiters or staff for their excellent service. That means you can leave your wallet in the safe and never have to bring it out until it’s time to check out. As the family member who covers the budgeting and payment, I can tell you this is a huge relief for you to not have hidden costs and to put your wallet on vacation, too, so you can truly relax. You don't have to tell the anyone "no" to anything they want because it's all included!
So how is everything included in a Beaches vacation? Your room fee covers it all. The price per room can vary per person and level of room. Adults pay more than children. You can get anywhere from a basic hotel room to a large family suite. No matter what kind of room you book, all of the following are included in a Beaches vacation. Let’s go over the big-ticket items that really add up if you were to visit a different resort.
