The Difference Between All Inclusive & Ultra All Inclusive
When planning your next getaway, you'll likely come across the terms "all inclusive" and "ultra all inclusive." While both offer a convenient and hassle-free holiday experience, there are key differences between the two that can be a deciding factor in which package you opt for.
What Is All Inclusive?
An all inclusive package is a holiday package that includes accommodations, meals, drinks, and activities for one upfront fee. This means you can enjoy a hassle-free getaway without worrying about budgeting or additional costs!
What is typically included in an all inclusive package? Well, let us tell you!
- Accommodation (hotel room, resort room, a villa, etc) often with amenities like pools, spas and fitness centres.
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be included, this may be served buffet style or at designated restaurants (depending on your hotel/resort).
- Drinks are included - soft drinks and often alcoholic beverages (this may vary by hotel/resort).
- On-site amenities and activities are something that is usually included in an all inclusive package, such as swimming pools, fitness centres, entertainment and sometimes even watersports or excursions!
An all inclusive holiday package can be seen as a convenient and cost-effective option, especially for families or groups. This allows you to sit back and relax without worrying about holiday budgets. However, you should consider that the quality of meals and drinks may vary depending on the resort and additional fees may be required for some activities or amenities such as spa treatments or premium alcohol.
What Is Ultra All Inclusive?
An ultra all inclusive package is a type of holiday package that offers a premium level of luxury and amenities. It goes beyond the standard all inclusive package, providing guests with a more exclusive and personalised experience, perfect for the luxury-seeking traveller.
As well as all that is included in a standard all inclusive package, ultra all inclusive packages provide:
- Top-shelf alcohol and branded spirits are often included in the package.
- Exclusive services are provided to guests, such as spa treatments, private tours and concierge services.
- Enhanced dining options that usually include fine dining options and room service are included to make your stay feel more luxurious.
- Additional activities are often included in an ultra all inclusive package, which can include watersports, golf and other premium experiences (may vary by hotel/resort).
The benefits of an ultra all inclusivepackage are obvious, you get the convenience of an all inclusive package with added luxury through fine dining, premium activities and more! Concierge services can also help with planning activities, reservations and other requests (ensuring you get the holiday of your dreams). Although these benefits are great, you will need to consider the higher cost of this package as you will be paying a more premium price for this option.
Key Differences?
The main difference between all inclusive and ultra all inclusive packages is the level of luxury and amenities offered. Both types include meals, drinks, and activities, but ultra all inclusive packages typically provides a more luxurious experience with more premium options offered.
