This guide breaks down Island Inn’s beverage program—what’s included, the few exclusions to know, and smart tips to make the most of your stay at our all‑inclusive, 24‑room boutique hotel near Pebbles Beach in the Garrison Historic Area.

Quick Answer: What’s Included—and What’s Not

• Included: Unlimited beverages as part of the all‑inclusive package
• Not included: Champagne and specialty wines

That’s it. Expect a smooth, straightforward experience with virtually all your sips covered, and clear guidance on the select premium pours that sit outside the plan.

What “Unlimited Beverages” Means at Island Inn

Island Inn is designed for effortless, all‑inclusive comfort—from breakfast through afternoon tea and dinner, plus the peace of mind that your beverages are covered. You’ll enjoy the atmosphere that blends the property’s 1804 heritage with modern ease, and you won’t have to second‑guess every order.

A few hallmarks of the experience:

• Simplicity: No tallying or second‑guessing—your beverages are included.
• Consistency: The same clear inclusion applies across your stay, alongside meals and relaxing moments.
• Comfortable spaces: Unwind at the swimming pool or settle into the Guest Lounge between outings, with Wi‑Fi available in rooms and public areas.

For dining, The Boardwalk Restaurant offers a mix of Caribbean and international cuisine with buffet and à la carte options during the week—an easy way to pair great food with your favorite beverages.

The Exceptions Explained: Champagne and Specialty Wines

Only two categories sit outside the all‑inclusive plan: champagne and specialty wines. Here’s why that’s common across resorts and boutique hotels alike:

• Premium sourcing: Champagne and specialty labels are typically procured in limited quantities and command higher market prices.
• Curation and storage: These bottles often require dedicated cellaring and handling to protect quality.
• Occasion‑worthy status: Guests often reserve these selections for celebrations, making them optional add‑ons rather than everyday pours.

If you have a special toast in mind, simply check with the bar team during your stay for guidance on available premium options and pricing.

Dining, Entertainment, and Easy Pairings

Island Inn’s all‑inclusive experience covers breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner, alongside unlimited beverages (excluding champagne and specialty wines). To elevate your evenings, enjoy live entertainment on select nights—a lively backdrop for conversation and a great complement to dinner at The Boardwalk Restaurant.
