Do you need to take beach towels to an all inclusive hotel?
No, you do not need to bring your own towels to an all-inclusive resort because towels are usually provided in abundance. Most resorts will provide them in each guest room and also have extra towels available by the pool or beach area.

All-inclusive resorts usually have plenty of towels to grab when you're down at the pool or beach. But you might want to bring clips to secure them to your chair and claim your spot.
If you're staying in a hotel, skip the beach towels and use your hotel towels instead. The room keepers give you fresh towels every day and you can always ask for more at the front desk. The towels you use at the beach will get taken the next morning and thrown in the wash, leaving you with a fresh and plush one.
The next time you're staying at a hotel, when done with your towel, leave it hanging or on the sink. It's one less towel the staff need to pick up from the floor.
If you want something different that will function like a towel, as well as a cover-up, you can always choose a hoodie or vest towel. Usually made from the same materials as a beach towel, they are absorbent, dry quickly, and are super soft. The only difference is their design, as they can be worn as a cover-up.
A good solution is to check ahead with your hotel or hostel to see if they offer free towels. If your accommodations offer free towels, you can leave the beach towel behind and use the hotel's bath towel for the beach and request more towels for your room.

?? Disadvantages of All-Inclusive HolidaysPotential for Lower Quality Services: In some cases, to keep costs down, resorts may offer buffet-style meals or limit the premium drinks and activities included in the package. This could mean that the quality of food, drinks, and entertainment may not meet your expectations.
However, all of these items belong to the hotel and are meant to stay in the room. Bathrobes, for the most part, should be left behind as well. Many hotels do launder them for the next guest—but in some higher-end hotels, a guest may be given a monogrammed robe as a gift.
The majority of all-inclusive includes all meals and snacks as a minimum. Some if not most resorts will also include 24/7 room service as part of the package, but this is worth double checking before booking. Most places will let you eat as frequently and order as much food as you like.
If you take something from your hotel room, you can expect an extra charge on your bill. Robes and towels are so commonly stolen that many hotels now list the charge right on the hanger; they will automatically bill the credit card they have on file for the extra cost of replacing these items.
We know it's tempting, but stealing a hotel robe is considered theft of property. While most hotels won't do more than charge your credit card for the missing item, it's best practice to ask the concierge if you can purchase the robe first. In some cases, they may even have a brand-new robe you can take home.
Many hotels have signs in the guest room bathrooms instructing guests to leave towels they don't plan to use again on the floor (or in the bathtub) as a sign to housekeeping that you want them replaced.
Because staff can vary each day, experts advise leaving a tip daily. If a staff member brings up extra towels late at night or fulfills another request, tip $1-$5.
Pro tip: Tip everyone: While most travelers know to tip a bellman or valet, few leave anything for the front-desk agent—despite their enormous power to influence the quality of your stay. “The front desk isn't a tipped position, so when you do tip, it makes them beholden to you,” Tomsky said.
