“ Booze ban - All Inclusive ”
28 January 2012, 8:38

How will this booze ban effect All Inclusive guests, my sister who is going 27th February as obviously paid extra for AI. Do you think they will get a reduction from Thomson's (Ha).

i was thinking exaxctly the same, we're going 27th feb too ' ru on the manchester flight ? i might ring thomsons this morning.

we are going to the santa rita i know that other years they have delivered what ever drink you want to your room in advance , but we dont want to sit and drink in the room, we enjoy sitting around at dinner chatting to other people.

I don't think you'll be able to sit around chatting in any public area in the hotel after 10pm from what I've read on here - even if it is an AI hotel.

At the marina dourada they wouldnt let us drink anywhere other than our hotel.

But this year we are taking lucozade bottles with us and will sit by the pool drinking our soft drinks ;-)

Yeah, sorry, Iain's right.

You might be able to sit round the pool but I meant that the hotel bars will all be closed.
