Half board

Sorry- I know this is a really thick question but you get different answers everywhere on t'internet.

I've never been half board before, so what is included and what isn't?

I know breakfast and dinner is included in the price.

I know I need to pay for all drinks and meals taken at the hotel between the hours of breakfast and dinner. But...

Are drinks with meals included or not?

Are hotel activities included or not?

I just don't want a surprise at the end of the week

Thanks for humouring me:D

    No such thing as a daft question,
    Usualy (to make things worse) it depends on the hotel some hotels on tours inc a drink with the evening meal but generaly not.

    If its in a package or one of the brand hotel then they often have thier own animation team but this works for some all inculsive hotels too.

    If you post your hotel here maybe it would be easier to find out what is and whats not inc.

    But as a general rule Breakfast, Dinner, day time activies and games, sunbeds (by the pool not on the beach) and evening entertainment are inc
    If you look anything like your passport photo....Your too ill to travel

    Just to really complicate it,but handy if you want a change, some hotels will let you take lunch instead of evening meal.

    Its breakfast and usually dinner but you might be able to swap for lunch as BudgetFlyer suggests. Book your rooms then phone the accommodation yourself to clarify exactly what is and is not included - if you get the info from an online company, you need it in writing otherwise its useless!
