Halfboarders

Halfboarders are individuals who have made arrangements for accommodation that includes breakfast and one other meal, typically dinner. This arrangement is a common option in hotels, guesthouses, and resorts, offering a balance between included dining and flexibility for other meals. It is often a popular choice for travelers who prefer to have their main meals covered as part of their stay but may wish to explore local restaurants or cafes for lunch.

The specifics of what constitutes a "meal" in a halfboard package can vary. Breakfast is usually a set offering, often a buffet or a continental style. The included dinner may be a set menu, a choice from a limited selection, or sometimes a credit towards a restaurant's à la carte menu. It is advisable for guests to confirm the exact details of their halfboard arrangement with their accommodation provider upon booking or arrival.

Halfboard can be a cost-effective option, as it often represents a saving compared to paying for breakfast and dinner separately. It also provides a degree of predictability in meal expenses for the duration of a stay. This type of board is particularly suited for those who plan to spend their days sightseeing, participating in activities, or working, and desire a convenient and pre-arranged meal at the end of the day. Conversely, it might be less suitable for travelers who prefer to have complete freedom to choose their dining times and locations for all meals.
