If you’re planning a beach break or a mountain getaway, the drink menu is often the first thing you think about. You picture endless cocktails, fresh juices, and maybe a cold beer by the pool. But the reality can be a bit different – especially at all‑inclusive resorts that have their own rules about how many drinks you can order each day.
Many travelers hear the claim that you can have six drinks a day at an all‑inclusive resort. That number isn’t a hard law; it’s more of a guideline that many properties use to keep the bar from running out of stock. In practice, you might find some places that allow unlimited drinks, while others cap the count at four, five, or six depending on the time of day. Typically, the limit applies to alcoholic drinks – soft drinks and water are usually unlimited.
Another thing to watch out for is the “premium” label. Your package might cover standard beers and house wines, but a top‑shelf cocktail or a fancy spirit could cost extra. Some resorts also separate poolside and restaurant service, meaning you could have a free drink at the pool bar but pay for the same drink inside the main restaurant.
First, check the fine print before you book. Look for phrases like “unlimited standard drinks” or “drink credit per day” in the resort description. If the limit is unclear, call the hotel and ask how many drinks you can actually enjoy without hitting extra charges.
Second, pace yourself. Instead of ordering three cocktails in a row, space them out with water or a fruit juice. That way you stay hydrated, avoid the extra‑cost premium drinks, and stretch your daily allowance further.
Third, consider the time of day. Many resorts reset the drink count at midnight, so a nightcap after the bar closes might cost you. If you’re a night owl, plan a light snack and a non‑alcoholic beverage after hours to avoid surprise bills.
Finally, explore the on‑site restaurants. Some all‑inclusive deals include a “dine‑any‑where” option where meals come with a drink credit. Pair a lunch with a glass of wine or a cocktail and you’ve already used part of your daily allowance without extra hassle.
Understanding the drink policy helps you avoid awkward moments at the bar and keeps your vacation budget in check. Whether you’re sipping a mojito by the sea or enjoying a local craft beer after a day of exploring Penarth, a little knowledge goes a long way.
Next time you book a stay at Penarth Guest Accommodations or any other resort, ask about the beverage plan. Knowing how many drinks you get, what’s included, and where the hidden fees hide will let you focus on the fun – tasting new flavors and relaxing without worry.
