There is a growing trend for 2027: the “Fully Inclusive” package. This is for the traveller who wants a “Zero Wallet” holiday. While some “All-Inclusive” deals still charge for things like the gym, the safe, or the “fancy” coffee, a “Fully Inclusive” deal means once you’ve paid the tour operator, your spending is done.
In these premium packages, you can expect: All branded drinks: No more “local” gin that tastes like petrol. Unlimited à la carte: You aren’t limited to the buffet; you can eat in the Italian, Japanese, or Steakhouse restaurants every night.
Spa Circuits: Access to the thermal pools and saunas is often part of the deal. Mini-Bar: Branded snacks and drinks in your room, replenished daily.
Sandos Papagayo Beach Resort is famous for its 24-hour all-inclusive service. Whether you want a pizza at 3 am or a cocktail at 11 am, it’s all there.
For a more upscale version, Barceló Lanzarote Active Resort offers a “Royal Level” which is the definition of fully inclusive—giving you private check-in, exclusive lounge access, and premium everything.
If you’re a family of four, the “extras” like ice creams, coffees, and a couple of drinks each evening can easily add up to £50 a day. Over a week, that’s £350. Often, the jump from “Standard” to “Fully Inclusive” is only £150–£200 total, making it a savvy financial move for the 2026/2027 season.
