Until recently, Club Med did not include purchases at the bar.  However, 
 last spring they changed the "American Zone" villages to include the 
bar and snacks, but only if you are from America and Canada.

A different arguement to include Club Med in lists of all-inclusive 
resorts, they started it, and therefore their definition of 
all-inclusive is the definition?  And CM is a way bigger chain than any 
of the others.

Unfortunately, most of the ratings are pretty bogus.  What the resorts 
claim often has nothing to do with the "industry standard".  Some 
resorts now claim to be "six star", whatever that is.  Club Med's 
trident rating only goes to four.

Well, it depends if you are worried that everyone is over 18, or if that 
cute boy/girl at the bar is really 16.  But mostly, resorts that allow 
14+ or 16+ are going to get more groups of families.  And I'm not a big 
fan resorts full of high schoolers.
