An all-inclusive holiday is the perfect way to relax for many Brits – you get to enjoy sun, the pool, activities and, the main event, as much food and drink as you like for no extra cost. But, one hotel in Turkey has taken things to the next level for coffee lovers with an all-inclusive Starbucks on-site.
The Aska Lara Resort & SPA, in Antalya, Turkey, lets its guests enjoy as many frappucinos, coffees and teas as they like when staying at the hotel. Holidaymakers who have taken a break at the resort said the free Starbucks drinks were a "Godsend" and a "real treat".
The hotel has a huge range of food and drink options but social media users and reviewers on TripAdvisor were clearly blown away by the unusual inclusion – especially as some Starbucks drinks can cost close to, or even over, £5 a pop. We can see it being a great way to try all those drinks you’ve worried you won’t like!
