At an all-inclusive resort, towels are almost always provided as a core amenity, and you generally do not need to pack your own. Resorts typically provide two distinct types of towels: high-quality bath towels in your guest room for personal hygiene, and dedicated "beach" or "pool" towels for outdoor use. Most properties utilize a "towel card" system or have stations located near the main pool or beach access points where you can pick up a fresh, dry towel and exchange a used one as often as you like throughout the day. Premium resorts may even have staff who set up your lounge chair with towels for you. This service is designed to enhance the "worry-free" nature of the vacation and to save space in your luggage. However, it is important to note that many resorts have strict policies against taking these towels off the property for independent excursions to public beaches. If a towel is lost or not returned to the room or towel station at the end of the stay, some resorts may apply a replacement fee (ranging from $20 to $50) to your final bill during the checkout process.
