As a 10 year owner with the Villa group I don’t feel I get my money’s worth from an all inclusive so I have never purchased the packages. I simply do not eat or drink enough to make it worth my ‘Canadian’ dollar. Is it mandatory to have to pay for all inclusive at Villa del Palmar Cancun or can I purchase food and drinks as I wish from the restaurants on site?
Hi Linda,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. All-inclusive meal plans are optional and you can purchase food and beverages a la carte at Villa del Palmar Cancun. Hope this helps!
Best Regards,
Brittany

Hi, We haven’t used our points since we purchased timeshare at Los Cabo 3 years ago. Now we wanted to see Cancun with our family and friends in the week of New Year 2016, but there are many restrictions and apparently we cannot use it on the block weeks which is Christmas and new year. We don’t remember that when they did the presentations, I do understand now after calling the reservations. Is there a way that we can book rooms for 10 people. It could be 3 rooms or 2 big rooms All inclusive fr Dec 29, 2016 – Jan 2, 2017. Is there a member price? Thank You
Hi Jessica,
I have forwarded your request to our Call Center so that an agent can give you account specific information.
Best Regards,
Brittany
Linda – you are lucky. We typically have exhausted our American dollar by about 2PM, alongside the pool 🙂 Love the all-inclusive plans.

We are arriving on 12/8 and will take the ADO from the airport to downtown Cancun. From there what bus do we take to Villa del Palmar Cancun? It’s been several years since we visited but I thought they had a specific number or color.
Also, my reservation is for a 2-bedroom. Can you arrange to get me a room where one of the bedrooms has 2 beds?
Hi Lisa,
Thank you for taking the time to read our blog and submit your inquiry. Please be advised that we are currently looking into your inquiry with the resort and will get back to you as soon as possible with an answer. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience.

We are planning to be at VDP-Cancun from Jan 23 to Feb 6 and are trying to get another one bedroom or a two bedroom to share with friends. We have owned at VDP-Cabo for over 10 years and look forward to seeing our Cancun resort! Our friends who would like to visit with us are also very interested in hearing the advantages of owning at VDP but we have been unable to find a vacancy for them to rent through us a one bedroom or share a two bedroom with us? Any help or advice is much appreciated!
I’m contemplating a visit in MAY 2017 and found that there are two efficiencies (studios) available…one during week of 13-20 MAY and the other 20-27 MAY. I did look at the amenities of a studio. What I didn’t see was if there was seating other than the king or double beds. I didn’t see a sofa or a small table. Both of the weeks are VGR and saw that it wasn’t a requirement to pay for an all inclusive meal plan. Is this correct? If there is an option of paying for an all inclusive plan, is there a site where I can turn to so that I may see what the costs are and what is included and what isn’t? Thank you
Hi Sylvia,
Thank you for reading our blog and submitting your inquiry. Please be advised that the prices from the hotel are different than the prices from the membership. Please call Member Services at 800-852-4755 for member specific details. It is optional to purchase a meal plan when staying at the resorts. Happy vacationing!

My girlfriend and I will be coming to Loreto next month and we have a small dilemma. We would like to purchase the All-Inclusive meal and drink option but we also very much want to explore Loreto throughout the day. If we do purchase the All-Inclusive package can we take meals with us for that day or do they have to be consumed on the property?
Hi Chris,
Thank you for your inquiry. Please be advised that the All-Inclusive meal plan meals need to be consumed on property. You cannot order all of your meals for the day in the morning and take them with you.
Hope you enjoy your upcoming vacation!
