Do all-inclusive hotels in the UAE serve meals on arrival and departure day?

TL;DR
Not always: lunch on check-in or check-out day is often not automatically included, especially with early/late flights or when the hotel runs a reduced service — you may need to specifically request a meal voucher.
What the community said
At a hotel running a reduced service, guests had to specifically request a lunch voucher on departure day — staff agreed only as an exception.

Guests checking in at 10am were given wristbands immediately, but told lunch wasn't included on arrival day — instead they'd get lunch on departure day. They snacked at a bar with sandwiches and pastries that opened at 2pm, plus a beach stall selling hot dogs and gözleme.

With a late check-in around 10pm, the hotel didn't serve either lunch or dinner, even though both meals were already paid for under the all-inclusive package.
