'White Lotus' vs. reality: Are rich guests as bad as they look on TV? - The Washington Post

Not every all-inclusive resort covers the exact costs with one payment. Therefore, travelers need to research the full details before booking in advance. Generally, most resorts cover the cost of food, drinks (not necessarily all alcoholic beverages), activities, and entertainment on the resort.
