Some places advertise themselves as "all inclusive," then have fine print which reads, "except for alcohol." Other places say they're "all inclusive"--except for the activities. At Turtle Island, when we say "All Inclusive" we mean it--99.9% of the time.

Do you want premium champagne? Ask for it. Do you want sparkling water constantly stocked in your minibar? Fine. Do you want lobster every day? No problem. Jack on the rocks and keep them coming? Yes, sir. Of course, sir.

Scuba, snorkeling, horseback riding--and most all their attendant equipment--is provided as part of your vacation. Mountain biking, hiking, kayaking is also included. Boating around the island, yes. Deep sea fishing? Yes. Cultural Excursions? Yes.

Here's a good example of a typical day at all-inclusive Turtle Island--written by travel journalist Francesca Syz for Condé Nast Traveller in October of 2005: "The days unfurl lazily. I snorkel among emerald green, cobalt blue and ludicrously pink fish, whoop and cheer among the crowds at a rugby match on a neighbouring island, gallop down the beach on a sleek white horse at dawn, hike to the top of the mountain and bike down the other side, and devour several book in my hammock." Plus your meals, your cocktails, exploratory island hikes, participation in Lovo feasts, Meke dances, Kava ceremonies and more--all are included.

We are all inclusive for many reasons. One, it makes things easier for you and even for us. But more importantly, putting away one's wallet creates a mental relaxation that you may find surprising. You don't have to make decisions based on financial considerations; you do something because you want to. You order something because you want it. For the time you are here, you have no worries, financial or otherwise.
