Jet2 issues guidance for all inclusive packages on its website
TUI, easyJet and Jet2 customers are being told to “check” certain hotel rules ahead of a busy summer for holidays. Millions of people are expected to jet off abroad over the coming months, with experts predicting a bumper season for international travel.
Lots of travellers like to book all inclusive hotels for ease, as most things are taken care of and you won’t need to take too much spending money as you’ve already paid for meals and drinks. However, on its website Jet2holidays explains that all inclusive rules can vary “from one hotel to another”.
Guidance reads: “Please check the property description for each hotel for details of what’s included, as this will vary from one hotel to another. All inclusive typically includes 3 buffet style meals in the hotel’s main restaurant, snacks and locally produced drinks (often during a specified timeframe) for a minimum of 12 hours per day but please note that in rare cases all inclusive may be available for less than 12 hours; where we are aware of this, it will be stated clearly in the property description.

“Please be aware that in some properties, there may also be limits on the number of drinks or the facilities available.” This was the case for an all inclusive package to Playa de Palma, Mallorca, found on the Jet2holidays website, where information stated: “A maximum of 3 alcoholic drinks per person (beer and wine) during lunch, and 3 alcoholic drinks per person (beer and wine) during dinner only. At all other times any alcoholic drinks are payable locally.””
easyJet offers similar advice, too, explaining: “Every all inclusive hotel is different, however most do include alcohol as part of an all inclusive package. Most of the time local branded alcohol will be included, and you can often upgrade to include premium or international drinks if you want to.
“Check the description of the hotel you’re interested in to find out exactly what is included.” And if you’re going on an all inclusive holiday with TUI, again, “it varies from hotel to hotel”.
TUI says: “One buffet restaurant might take care of all your meals, or you could have a different restaurant to visit every night of the week. Likewise, things like kids’ clubs and watersports can all come as part of the package, or you might need to pay a little extra.
“You’ll find all the details on the hotel’s info page on our website. Everything’s taken care of so there’s no need to factor in extra costs for food or drink. You’ll get your breakfast, lunch and evening meals included in your package.
“Plus, snacks and soft and alcoholic drinks are also included – some hotels might charge extra for premium spirits so check before you book.”
