How the Plan Works (Fine Print) 📝

- By the glass: Included beverages must be ordered and consumed by the glass at designated outlets during operating hours; sharing/take‑away is not permitted.
- Lists rule: Only items on the printed AI Beverage List are included; off‑list items are chargeable.
- Hours: AI beverage service typically runs from late morning to late night; buffet meals follow fixed times. Exact hours posted on‑island prevail.
- Start/End: Benefits usually begin at check‑in and conclude at checkout; coverage for early arrivals/late departures varies—confirm on arrival.
- Responsible service: Alcohol for guests 18+ only; resort may refuse service to intoxicated guests.
Dining Logistics 🍴
- Main Buffet Restaurant is the hub for all AI meals; no reservations required for buffet.
- Peak times can be busy—arrive early for preferred tables and breezier seating.
Families & Children 👨👩👧👦
- Children on AI enjoy the same buffet access; alcohol excluded. Mocktails/soft drinks per the AI list.
- No kids’ club; compact island with jetties/reef entries—supervise young swimmers at all times. Baby cots and life vests typically available on request.
Smart Value Tips 💡
- Photograph the AI Beverage List at check‑in so you can target your favorite included wines/cocktails and avoid off‑list charges.
- If snorkeling daily, compare weekly gear rental vs. bringing your own well‑fitting mask/snorkel—the house reef is easy to access.
- Plan one paid splurge (e.g., a whale shark safari or beach dinner) and let AI cover everyday meals/drinks.
- Espresso lover or premium‑wine fan? Keep AI for daily value and budget a couple of curated add‑ons.
