Search for the resort on Apple Vacations, CheapCaribbean or Costco Travel and you will find it listed as “Casa De Campo Resort & Villas — All Inclusive”. That name has sold a lot of holidays. It has also created a lot of confusion at check-in, because the resort’s own terms for its inclusive package end with a single line that nobody quotes: valid only for room stays.
So villa guests are not on an all-inclusive plan, and they cannot buy onto one. That is not a catch. For most groups the villa model works out cheaper and eats better. But you should know it before you arrive rather than at your first dinner.
The Short Answer
Casa de Campo® is not an all-inclusive resort by default. It sells one optional all-inclusive plan, the Casa Inclusive Package, and that package applies to guestrooms and Premier Suites only. Private villas run on a different model. You rent the house and its staff, then you pay for food, golf, spa and excursions as you use them.
Both models are legitimate. They simply suit different trips. A couple on a five-night break may prefer the simplicity of one bill. A family of eight, or a golf group of six, almost always does better in a villa.
What the Casa Inclusive Package Actually Covers
The resort publishes this package from $599 per room, per night, with 28% tax and service added on top. Here is what that buys, straight from the resort’s own published package terms.
Dining
Full breakfast, snacks, lunch and dinner at the resort’s signature restaurants, at the Spa Café, or via room service, with a delivery charge on the latter. Drinks are covered by the glass — cocktails, wine and soft drinks at the signature restaurants, bars and lounges, including Villa Minuty and the golf course bars.
The venues in the plan are Lago, La Caña, La Casita, Causa, Chilango Taquería, La Piazzetta, Villa Minuty, the Spa Café, the 19th Hole, the Teeth of the Dog® bar, the Pool Bar, Cocomar, the Squeeze Juice Bar, Bar Safari at the Shooting Center, and the Brasa and Masa food trucks at Minitas.
Activities
Then there are the activities. The plan covers unlimited horseback riding, tennis, and non-motorised water sports at Minitas Beach. It also includes one round of 25 cartridges at the Shooting Center, plus full use of the family programmes, which run supervised sessions for ages 1 to 17 alongside the Family Fun Zone.
What It Leaves Out
This is where guests get caught. Minitas Beach Club & Restaurant is excluded, as is SBG — and Minitas is exactly where most guests want lunch. Bottles of wine and spirits sit outside the plan too, along with the mini-bar, premium bottled water, specialty cognacs and premium liqueurs.
Golf is not included at any level. Neither are spa treatments, excursions, or the Marina restaurants beyond the ones listed above. So even on the inclusive plan, the bill keeps moving. Remember that when you weigh it against a villa.
What a Villa Rental Includes Instead
A villa is closer to renting a serviced private home than to booking a hotel product. The rate covers the house, the pool, the gardens and the team who run it.
Staff. Garden villas come with maid service. Classic, Exclusive and Oceanfront villas include both maid and butler service. Standard hours run 8:00am to 5:00pm, and no staff live on site overnight. If you want the cook to stay past 5:00pm, budget a US$60 transport allowance per staff member.
Breakfast. Every villa includes a full American breakfast, cooked in your own kitchen each morning by your own staff.
Cooking, but not the food. Your cook prepares lunch and dinner as well, at no extra labour cost. You buy the groceries. That single distinction is why villas beat the inclusive package on value for larger groups. You pay supermarket prices for food that a professional cook then turns into dinner for twelve.
A golf cart. Every villa comes with one, and you will need it. The resort covers 7,000 acres.
Concierge. Reservations, spa bookings, excursions, provisioning and transfers are all handled before you arrive. Our guest services team does the same, and our breakdown of what a villa rental actually includes goes through it line by line.
What You Pay for on Top
Here is the honest list for a 2026 villa stay. None of it is hidden, but all of it is real.
- Resort registration fee — $30 per adult per night (13+), $15 per child (4–12), free under 4. It buys gate access, 24/7 security, towels and loungers at the beach and pools, and the fitness centre. Full detail sits in our access fee guide.
- Groceries — billed at cost. A concierge pre-stock means the kitchen is full when you walk in, and our villa provisioning guide covers the shops, the hours and how the service is billed.
- Restaurant meals — every dinner out, at resort prices. Our dining guide maps the lot.
- Golf — green fees are separate for everyone. Registered resort guests, which includes villa guests, pay $400 at Teeth of the Dog, $325 at Dye Fore and $250 at The Links, plus 18% tax. Day visitors pay considerably more. See our green fees guide.
- Spa, excursions and yacht charters — booked as you go.
- Airport transfers — arranged separately and quoted before you travel.
- Gratuities — appreciated, and separate from the service charge on resort bills.
So Which Costs Less?
Take eight people for seven nights: four adults and four children.
On the inclusive package you need two rooms, because maximum occupancy is two adults plus two children per room. At the published entry rate that is roughly $1,198 a night before the 28% tax and service charge, so about $10,700 for the week, with meals, drinks and the listed activities covered.
A four-bedroom villa sleeping eight starts around $850 a night. Add the 18% service charge and the week lands near $7,000. Registration fees for that group add $1,260. Provisioning a week of breakfasts, lunches and most dinners for eight typically runs between $800 and $1,200. You finish somewhere close to $9,000 to $9,500, with a private pool, your own cook and far more space.
The crossover is consistent. Once your group would need three or more hotel rooms, the villa usually wins on cost and on comfort. Below that, the inclusive package is a tidy, reasonable choice. We set the comparison out in more detail in our villa versus hotel room breakdown, and current rates by villa size sit on our cost guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Casa de Campo all inclusive?
Not as standard. The resort offers one optional Casa de Campo all-inclusive plan, the Casa Inclusive Package, priced from $599 per room per night plus 28% tax and service. Its published terms restrict it to guestrooms and Premier Suites.
Can I add the all-inclusive package to a villa booking?
No. The resort states the package is valid only for room stays. Villa guests pay for food and activities as they use them, which is why the villa kitchen and the staff cook matter so much to the maths.
Are meals included in a Casa de Campo villa rental?
Cooking is included; food is not. Your staff prepare a full American breakfast daily, then cook lunch and dinner as well. You supply the groceries, either through a concierge pre-stock or your own shopping run. A resort chef for a special dinner is a separate service from US$315 plus taxes and the cost of the dishes, booked 48 hours ahead. Our private chef guide explains the difference.
Are drinks included anywhere in a villa stay?
No. Your villa bar is stocked to your list and billed at cost, and drinks at resort restaurants go on your account. Bottles, mini-bar items and premium spirits sit outside the inclusive package too, so this one is consistent across both models.
