What alcoholic drinks are included in an all-inclusive hotel package in the UAE, and which brands cost extra?

In August 2026 a hotel guest listed the beers served in the hotel bars: Belgian Greenberg in green cans in every bar, Dutch Black Devil, Löwenbräu Helles, German Paderborner Helles in the lounge bar, and Beaks from Bremen. Asked whether this was part of the all-inclusive package, he replied that all of these beers were included.

Another participant assumed that all-inclusive covers only local drinks. The reply was that there is no local beer in the Emirates, and the imported beers were included.

For spirits, the same guest said the package included US-made tequila, whisky, rum and gin, plus French brandy.

At his hotel, Corona beer and better-known brands such as Bacardi, Jim Beam and Sierra cost extra. In his view, they are about the same quality as the included drinks. Other hotels may have a different list.
