Thank you for mentioning BEING NICE to workers even when you're upset. My husband always says "I know this isn't your fault so I'm not upset with you but...", goes into detail about concerns, and then asks who he can speak with to "make things right." A lot of times saying things like "We really enjoyed [blank] and we want to feel comfortable as returning guests" helps.

[lauriequinn]

I would like it if you did a video on the resorts where you feel like going into the premium area is worth it versus the ones that it’s not so much. Always interested to hear your opinion and why

[jeffreykyle]

The “staging hotel” is an awesome tip!

[riccochet]

I'll say, in my travels with all inclusive's, grease money is a must. Once at Sandal's Montego Bay we had a pretty private room with a private terrace, and all we wanted to do was relax and be pretty independent for our time there. It was a chore getting our room stocked with beer and such. I slipped one of our waiters a $20 and we had a fully stocked bar with a case of Red Stripe and several bottles of champagne in our room every day. Like, I had more beer than I knew what do to with. LOL Same went for Excellence Punta Cana. That little bar in the excellence club side next to the infinity pool, $20 and I didn't have to wait or even ask for a drink the rest of our stay, dude was johnny on the spot bringing drinks to our little deck on the upper portion of that pool every 20-30 minutes. $20-40 to some of these people is HUGE.

Great tips... Thanks for taking the time to make all these reviews

[zerocarbdoc]

Very valuable, I watch all your videos and this one is excellent! Thank you!

[livestotravel]

I can’t tell you how many times I have seen people turn away from restaurants for not being dressed properly. Research all avenues! I’m lucky that I never had the issues you mentioned about hotels giving the “shakedown”. Make sure to tell people to have a bag with essentials packed if you get there before check in. They will take your luggage and don’t forget sunscreen 😮those prices at shops 😬 Thanks for the vids😊

[kenmills]

So informative. So thorough. Thanks, James.

[PlanetPDX]

To think you didn’t enjoy all inclusives, then seeing you warming up to them and now to 40! Great tips James! All of them are on point. Your editing is always improving as you evolve in this space. Where will the next 40 take you?

[phrewilly]

Great tips James!
It's interesting that with cruises typically you are highly recommended to set up specialty dining reservations (pretty much required) to get a table as they sell out months in advance.
Looking forward to your next review!

Awesome video. Keep this good content coming. Safe travels!

Great tips... very direct and with a lot of substance.

Great video James. It's funny. I was thinking about you last night and a sort of video along these lines but a little different. When you started out saying "I have stayed in 40 All Inclusives over the last 2 years" I thought, "Here he goes. This is the video I thought he might make". Well not quite. What I was thinking about is that you have stayed in all these resorts and maybe you can make a video saying " if I were going to go to an AI just for a week like anyone else w/o making a video for the channel these would be ones I would like to go to again and why. " Yeah I know it's subjective and everyone is different and so on. I would still like to see you do something like that. I definitely agree that it's a constant learning process and it's really a lot of work and planning to get these vacations right. Not only that but our tastes change as we get older. Thanks.

Grear advice James. I used to be a concierge. I booked restaurant reservations at the Majestic Mirage a month in advance for my wife and I. The Butler said we were his smartest guests of all time. Haha. We use your book late and show up early trick. It's amusing when the hosts get confused. I also like your shoulder night hotel idea. That's what airport hotels are for. Most hotels will let you check in early if the room is ready. Hotels don't want a huge line at 3 PM check in time.

Amazing info thanks for making this awesome video ❤

[regianerhynold]

That is why I follow you and base on your reviews, before I book any resort! I would never try the Riu, if I haven't see your videos. it is all about the value, what you get... Thank you!

[valsquyres]

Great ideas! I especially liked staging a cheap motel for a night. Confirm room and payment. Research, research, research! The reason I watch is to get your take on everything, how you handle problems. Watching a couple of those worse case scenarios you show make a believer out of me! Your "nice" outfit, the black open neck with a bit of print showing? Whoa, man! What shoes did you wear with that?

[ameyabandekar]

Brilliant video! Some great tips, sometimes such smaller details/nuances make a huge impact to your trip!

[CSSRocks]

Upgraded to the VIP adults only at Planet Hollywood! Wow it was amazing! Would never go there without having the upgrade! Amazing place!! Super fun!

[OHANA-Beach-Suites]

Good tips here. Vacations are a big part of our life. Thanks.
