Mini-bar at a 4 star vs 5 star all inclusive resort…
The 4 star resort stay was not originally part of my itinerary, but when our flight out of Cabo was cancelled due to mechanical issues and we had to stay an extra night, this is where WestJet was able to get space for 100+ stranded passengers.
The staff at the resort was great and did all they could to accommodate the extra last minute guests, but the best visual representation of the difference between the two levels of resorts is the mini bar. At the 4 star property it was just a couple of bottles of water, a few pops (there was also a bottle of orange Fanta but I downed that before I thought to take a picture), and 2 beers; whereas the 4 star property had lots of pop, beer, juice, water, as well as sweet and savoury snacks.
It’s one of those things that you may not think about when you’re making the initial booking, but it sure makes a difference when you are at the resort.
