Hi there -

I have the exact question below... From Breakfast only to Half Board there is 450 USD per night jump and to all inclusive another 150 USD. It's almost like they want you to do All Inclusive by making Half Board no sense. However we normally don't do 3 meals a day. So why would I just pay for what I eat? Would 2 people have one more meal other than breakfast resulting in 450 USD for dinner if just paid what I eat? Seems all a bit confusing and not making sense.

Thanks, hope I can get some guidance here!

I am also curious about the meal plans offered and mentioned in this chat. Would it be possible and is it preferred to book a room without any meal plan? Then upon arrival is it possible to decide whether to do the all-inclusive package or desired half/full board? Reason I ask is there's a significant jump from FB to AI. When I called reservations at central booking, they told me that the difference from FB (currently booked) to AI was minimal, I think something like $80++, total being about $400 total for the 4 nights (2 people). Then when I asked them to apply it and for the total it shot up $3k. I asked the representative why and they didn't know why but said it was what the system showed. Any insight on how you all booked would be appreciated, I am new to the forum but appreciate everyone's input.
