Types of food in hotels and their differences

When choosing a hotel, pay attention to the type of food included in the price. There are many options, and each has its own characteristics. It is important to understand what food and in what quantities the hotels will offer in order to choose the best option. We will tell you what types of food are available in hotels.

RO or BO, AO, RR, EP, NO - no power supply

All these abbreviations are easy to decipher - food is not included in the price of accommodation. RO is found mainly in hostels, aparthotels or villas. They do not have organized food preparation and service personnel to deliver it, but they provide a common or private kitchen where each guest can make a snack for themselves. Open the hotel booking service to find the right one for you.

BB - breakfast

The BB hotel meal plan includes breakfast only. The most common meal plan is a buffet - vacationers put food on their plates themselves. Usually, the hotel provides cheese and meat slices, fruits, vegetables, eggs and butter. There is also a continental breakfast - guests are given portioned snacks: yogurt, sandwiches. Is this what you need? Then hurry up to book a hotel .

HB - half board (breakfast and dinner)

The HB meal plan includes two meals. This option is convenient if you plan to only occasionally go outside the complex and do not want to look for restaurants nearby. There is also a half board meal plan with drinks (HB+) - both meals include free juice or water.

FB - full board

With full board, the hotel organizes breakfasts, lunches and dinners for guests. In this case, there is à la carte food - guests choose a couple of items from the menu or in the form of a buffet. FB+ - full board with drinks (you will have to pay extra for alcohol).

AI - all inclusive  

Luxury hotels will satisfy everyone's needs. All-inclusive meals include free drinks, alcohol and snacks to three meals. For example, Turkish resorts often offer ice cream after lunch. This type is found in the best 5-star hotels .

UAI - Ultra All Inclusive  

Ultra all inclusive meals are a dream come true. No restrictions, eat everything they offer without thinking about the cost. All meals, snacks, drinks, snacks and minibar are at your service. Choose ultra all inclusive hotels to enjoy your holiday without worries.

Meals for children in hotels

Most large chains have a children's menu, but it often includes fast food: French fries, burgers, nuggets, milkshakes, etc. Food for the little ones - as simple and without spices as possible - can be found on the diet menu. But the best option for families with children is the buffet meal at all-inclusive hotels . This way, parents can put together a plate of balanced foods for their child themselves.

Choose a hotel with the type of food that best fits your vacation plans. The more time you plan to spend within the complex, the more important it is that food is included in the price. And if you plan to actively explore the surroundings, then breakfast will be enough. See the best options on TravelHub.
