Smart Value Tips 💡
- Snap the Beverage List at check‑in to zero in on included wines/cocktails you’ll love and avoid off‑list surprises.
- Book 5.8 Undersea for lunch (often better reef visibility and a slightly gentler supplement than dinner); reserve as early as possible.
- If your plan includes dine‑around credits, alternate Kashibo/J.F.K with Canneli buffet nights to balance variety and value.
- Bring a well‑fitting snorkel mask if you’ll be in the water daily; personal comfort beats rental for frequent use.
- If you enjoy premium bubbles or rare spirits, let AI cover everyday value and plan one or two celebratory splurges at Champagne Pavilion.
Quick Compare: FB vs. AI/AIP ⚖️
- Full Board (FB): Breakfast + lunch + dinner at Canneli; beverages largely chargeable beyond water/tea/coffee at meals.
- All‑Inclusive (AI/AIP): FB meals + a curated list of beverages by the glass at designated bars/restaurants during posted hours, afternoon snacks, daily minibar basics, and complimentary non‑motorized watersports/snorkel gear (per current policy). Dine‑around at Kashibo/J.F.K is typically via set menu or credit tied to season/stay length.
