is it a required all inclusive

Is the all inclusive plan required?

The all-inclusive plan is not required.

No. There are "meal plans" available and guests who purchase a meal plan are required to wear a band around their wrist. Food and beverages are available on the resort for everyone, but those not on a meal plan have their food and beverages charged to their room account (no cash purchases). Those who prefer, can rent a car or take a taxi or shuttle into Cabo where there are many restaurants (and night life venues). There is also a small store on the property where you can purchase some essential food items (bread, lunchmeat, fruit, etc.) and alcoholic beverages (beer, wine, liquor). There is also a Walmart and Costco nearby where you can purchase your supplies.
