All inclusive age limit?

But surely booking your holiday from a country where they abide by 18+ drinking laws, the hotel would have to follow that law???

So if I book a fly drive holiday to the States from the UK I would have to drive on the left hand side of the road cos that's what they do at home

I love analogies like that. Quite bizarre, but demonstrates the point perfectly! x

In the Dominican Republic 12 months ago my 17 year old was offered an adult wristband almost 'on the sly'. However a few months later he was refused an adult one on an all inclusive on Teneriffe as they issued wristbands when you handed in your passports and were strict with the under/over 18s.

I'm taking them to Mexico at Christmas and my next son will be 17 then and is desperately hoping he can get an adult wristband, not because he wants to drink but because he wants to look like an adult, even with an adult wristband he will probably stick to coca cola.

Also remember that even in the UK it is legal for a child to drink, the over 18 rule applies only to buying alcohol.

it is the age in the destination country- but you also need to book the person involved as an adult as usually the hotel will have a print out of the adults and this is who gets the bands

I'm not sure about booking them as adults though as my children have paid 'adult' fares in full since they were 12..and I really wouldn't have wanted them to be served alcohol at that age.

Is it not just common sense to look on wikipedia or the internet

they tend to sort out the rooms in this way - if they allocate a family room to 2ad & 2 17yr olds you would often struggle to get them passes- this may sound bizarre but was common practice in spain a while ago

As I have more than the 'typical' 2 children my children have always had their own room...and paid full adult fares, but they still couldn't get wristbands in Teneriffe. It was always entirely dependent on their age as shown in the passport.
