Sneaky ways all-inclusive resorts get you to spend money - Business Insider

You pay an up-front price, then you get to spend a week drinking on the beach, dining under palm trees, and relaxing next to the pool. It can even feel like you're saving money.

Demand for all-inclusive resorts rose to 14% in 2014 from 8% in 2011. And, today, they're one of the fastest growing segments in travel accommodation. The most popular ones are in the Caribbean and Mexico, buy you'll also find wellness, fitness, and even skiing all-inclusive resorts across the globe, and they're all really good at getting your cash. The sneakiness starts with booking.

Having a butler is probably the priciest. At a Sandals resort, one or two couples will share one butler, who is at the guests' beck and call. They'll bring food and drinks, book spa treatments, and take of anything else the guest needs, but for a price. Butlers can tack $900 on to a room plus $50 to $100 per day for a tip.

Even things that are advertised as free can come with a catch. Sandals promotes free scuba diving, but it's only free if you have a diving certification. Otherwise, it'll cost you $100 for the certification course. And try not to forget anything at home.There are stores on-site at certain resorts, and they will certainly charge a pretty hefty fee for things like sunscreen.If you're wanting to venture out of the resort, that'll hurt your wallet, too.
