No, they don't. Our guests also do not pay all inclusive fees or resort fees. They are free to one of the many restaurants on site, cook in their suite, or visit one of the top notch restaurants in town and likely save money to boot.
Restaurants on site are very high quality and reasonably priced. All the resorts have a phenomenal breakfast buffet. Prices vary from $15 for small buffet at the Puerto Vallarta Mayan Palace to $20 for the spectacular spread at the Del Lago Restaurant at Vidanta Riviera Maya and Vidanta Nuevo Vallarta. There are casual restaurants around the pool area as well as specialty and ethnic restaurants of various varieties.
