I'm heading to Grand Solmar Lands End April 20-26 they offer an All-Inclusive option and wonder what it is when purchased upon arrival.
Also, what transfer company is best to use for one traveler.
thanks

I like Cielito Lindo because you can book a shared transfer and I frequently end up as the only passenger.

GS uses a company in Vegas to book the AI. Minimum three days. You can easily walk into the marina so I wouldn’t do more than three days of AI.

I just asked the front desk. All-inclusive is $161/day if you buy it at the front desk.

@Flasher42, we've never purchased all-inclusive at Grand Solmar, and we've been staying there three weeks a year since it opened. We pick up food/drink staples for the room at a grocery store on the way from the airport. It's also very easy to get supplies at the WalMart or Chedraui supermarket in the marina. We usually eat a light breakfast in our room and have lunch by the pool a few days a week (I really like the $12 grilled fish tacos!), but otherwise we enjoy going to restaurants in town for our meals. It's a very easy walk to the marina and town, and a cheap Uber ride back to the resort if you don't want to walk home. I know some people like the all-inclusive for drinks, but we don't drink a lot of alcohol, so having the 2-for-1 Daily Special or a drink during Happy Hours suits us fine and is very reasonable (for a resort). Everyone has their own idea whether or not all-inclusive works for them. We just hosted our family of twelve here and did not do all-inclusive.

This link should work for the restaurant menus/prices, but it's a little wonky - https://restaurants.solmar.com

Enjoy your trip!
