The line between “all-inclusive” and “all-inclusive except the good stuff” is where trips get expensive. Here's what's genuinely covered — and what still costs extra.
Inclusions change and vary by room category and season — always confirm with the resort before booking. How we verify this.
The right room is personal — a swim-out for the pool people, a top floor for the view people, two real bedrooms and two baths for families who like a little distance. Here's the lineup from the resort's own accommodations pages.
From the resort's own accommodations pages — categories and occupancy change with renovations, and connecting rooms are usually request-only, so confirm when you book.
Where you'll actually spend the week — how many places there are to eat and drink, what the pool scene offers, and what the water in front of the resort is really like.

No — restaurants at The Villas Wadduwa by Amaya are walk-in, which with tired kids is worth more than an extra venue.
Kids' club ages, hours, and babysitting availability change seasonally — confirm with the resort before booking.
