Club Med Sandpiper Bay, which is north of West Palm Beach by about 30 minutes is one of the only all-inclusive resorts in the US. Some travelers, who want to visit popular vacation destinations such as Hawaii or Key West, might try searching for all-inclusive resorts in these areas. However, this could be harder to find than you think. Most resorts in the United States that claim to be "all-inclusive," deserve a closer look into what is included. Are they really "all inclusive"? To examine this question, we must first look at what the term "all-inclusive" means.
The True All Inclusive
It’s commonly understood that all inclusive means that accommodations, a minimum of three meals daily, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), tips and taxes, daily activities and nightly entertainment are ALL included with the price of your stay. In addition, many times airport transfers are also included.
With that said, it’s possible to find vacation destinations in the U.S. that claim to be all inclusive, but when you examine what a hotel or resort offers, you will most likely find that alcohol and hotel taxes and gratuities have not been included. Or there may be other extra costs in the fine print. If you visit one of these vacation spots, you will still be liable for the taxes on your bill.
In addition, you will not want to forget to tip appropriately. For example, you will still want to leave a tip for wait staff at restaurants and for housekeeping staff.
Also, if you plan to consume alcohol, keep in mind that this bill could add up quickly as well. Either way, when purchasing an "all-inclusive" vacation in the U.S., it’s best to ask what is definitely included and what is not included. After all, who wants surprises while on vacation?
However, one place you won't get surprised with a multitude of extra costs that is located in the United States is at the Club Med Sandpiper Bay, which is north of West Palm Beach by about 30 minutes. This family friendly resort does include airport transfers between the airport and the resort (if you choose a Club Med package that includes transport); taxes and gratuities; a Club Room or a Deluxe Room accommodation; activities and amenities for adults and children; a new spa and completely renovated premium tennis, golf, and fitness facilities; world-class instruction from renowned professional coaches at the Club Med Tennis, Golf, and Fitness Academies; gourmet meals in buffet and a la carte format; a full open bar providing alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages; the Club Med Baby Welcome Program®; the new Kidz Village with a water splash park, a teen lounge and art center; and live nightly entertainment. So it is a true all inclusive resort with many great benefits, especially if you are seeking an active vacation that focuses on the family.
The Club Med Sandpiper is set on 393 feet of beach along the St. Lucie river, complete with a section of beach for lounging and sunbathing. Water sports, such as Aqua Zumba®, sailing, paddleboarding, and swimming are still options at the Club Med Sandpiper Bay, just as it would be on an ocean. And as the only true all inclusive in the United States, the location couldn't be better.
