The word "array" refers to a variety of "inclusive offerings", beyond food and drink. From the reservations page:
"Each resort booking now features an array of inclusive offerings including all meals. Check here to view inclusions."
Here's the full list from the web site ...
"Each Ventana booking now features the following inclusive offerings:
- Dining in-room (all meals), poolside on your dedicated chaise lounge (lunch), or at The Sur House (breakfast and dinner)—which has a spacious new seating plan and is now reserved exclusively for resort guests.
- Convenient, healthy, and inspiring snacks to take on the day’s adventures, along with complimentary keepsake reusable water bottles.
- Access to the resort’s Signature Experiences such as Yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, and daily hikes.
- Access to fitness center.
- Volvo chauffeur service within a three-mile radius
- The Excursion Outpost, featuring complimentary items for your use on hikes and more.
- New outdoor lounging nooks across the grounds, perfect for couples.
Restrictions:
Please note that spa services, retail, Alila Experiences, upgraded food offerings and alcoholic beverages—including our award-winning cocktails and wines from our 10,000-bottle cellar—are available for a supplementary charge."
