Adaaran Club Rannalhi — All‑Inclusive Meal Plan Guide 🍹🏝️
Overview ✨
- Concept: A classic, good‑value All‑Inclusive (AI) plan centered on buffet dining, a practical list of beverages by the glass, and relaxed, beach‑first living.
- Vibe: Barefoot, simple, and friendly. Come for the lagoon and house‑reef access; expect straightforward inclusions rather than premium labels or extensive à la carte options.
- Accuracy note: Inclusions, hours, and brand lists can change by season/contract. On arrival, request the latest All‑Inclusive fact sheet and Beverage List at reception or the bar.

How the Plan Works (Fine Print) 📝
- Identification: Expect a wristband or room‑card flag for AI verification.
- By the glass only: Included beverages must be ordered and consumed by the glass at designated venues during operating hours; sharing/take‑away not permitted.
- Lists rule: Only items printed on the current AI Beverage List are included; off‑list items are chargeable.
- Hours: AI beverage service typically runs from late morning to late night (commonly around 10:00–00:00); meal times follow set buffet schedules — confirm exact hours on arrival.
- Start/End: Benefits usually begin at check‑in time and end at checkout; early arrivals/late departures may have limited coverage.
- Misuse: Sharing inclusions with non‑AI guests can lead to charges or plan revocation per resort policy.
- Alcohol policy: Service for guests 18+ only.
Indicative Venue & Timing Snapshot ⏰
- Buffet restaurant: Breakfast, lunch, dinner at fixed times.
- Main/Beach Bar: AI beverage hours typically from late morning to midnight; afternoon snack window usually posted at the bar.
- Note: Exact times/venues can shift seasonally and with occupancy; the weekly program on site prevails.
Families & Children 👨👩👧👦
- Children on AI access the same buffet meals; alcohol excluded. Mocktails/soft drinks per the AI list.
- No large kids’ club; the island is compact and best for self‑sufficient families comfortable with reef entries and jetties.
- Baby cots and life vests generally available on request.
Smart Value Tips 💡
- Photograph the AI Beverage List at check‑in — helps you target included cocktails/wines you’ll enjoy most.
- Plan one or two paid splurges (e.g., a sunset fishing trip, spa ritual, premium wine) and let AI cover daily dining/drinks.
- If you’ll snorkel often, compare weekly gear rental vs. bringing your own well‑fitting mask/snorkel.
- Go early to dinner on peak nights for the best waterfront tables.
- Ask about any weekly complimentary activities (short marine talk, volleyball) to add value to your stay.
