What is included in half board, full board, and all-inclusive at a UAE resort, and is premium all-inclusive actually available?

The latest update says there is no premium package in practice: only the standard meal plans are available. Breakfast is included for all guests, and half board lets you use a voucher for either lunch or dinner.

According to guests, full board includes breakfast, lunch, and dinner, plus tea, coffee, and soft drinks. It suits travelers who want all main meals covered without paying for alcohol.

All-inclusive generally covers three meals, a set list of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, and bar snacks. Specific items mentioned were chips, nuts, and ice cream in strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate flavors.

One guest said that with all-inclusive, pool staff regularly serve drinks, fruit, burgers, and other food right to the sunbeds. That suggests some snacks are available not only in the restaurant but also poolside.

Another practical note is that lunch selection was described as not very large, but still enough for a full meal. The bar was considered decent: canned beer is available, and the cocktails are drinkable, though not very strong.
