There’s no doubt that all inclusive holidays are becoming increasingly popular, but depending on the type of holiday you want to have, they may not always make sense.

Half board is the next best option, and while it does not offer you with unlimited beverages and drinks throughout the day, you’re still usually guaranteed a buffet breakfast and dinner. Therefore, if you are the type of individual who likes to explore, and spend more time outside the hotel premises than in, it could make perfect sense.

It’s clear that to make the absolute most of an all-inclusive holiday, a lot of time must be spent by the hotel, where you can take advantage of the food and drinks on offer throughout the day. Meanwhile, if you’re prone to a lie-in or accidentally missing breakfast, half board would not be well suited.

Drinking in the evenings after a meal is another way of making sure you fulfil that all-inclusive price tag, and again if you’re not the type to worry about this, half board may offer everything you require. Of course, the location itself is important, with some holiday areas charging more for everyday items, even water can be quite costly, so researching into your destination is just as important and it could sway your decision when it comes to choosing a board basis.
