Our choice is halfboard or all inclusive. Untill recently we used to go self catering but now works out cheaper and easier to go all in. Because if you miss breakfast for any reason there are snacks and drinks all day |

We always go half board now. For us that's the best option for a swingers holiday.
We're in the clubs every night so just don't get monies worth from all inclusive x |

We always go all inclusive but still end up spending €100 a night going or later on
Probably get our money’s worth in the day to be fair
Can be costly sitting around the pool
With hotel prices

We prefer self catering. We are never up for breakfast and prefer to eat dinner out at a quiet restaurant. We wouldn't go AI as we don't hang around the hotel all day, prefer the beach.  |

Self catering for me , so many nice places to eat and it’s not expensive, plus all inclusive means your tied down to the hotel when you have a beautiful island to explore, but whatever works for you , I tend to go out late so getting up for breakfast would not work for me , but loads of restaurants do all day breakfast mmm( Windsor castle) |

We do AI, but still like to eat out when ever it takes our fancy. Always good for smashing the Bombay Sapphire when we're on one, and good for pool side drinks when recovering the next day. LOL |

Same here  We like to go down to a beach front restaurant, for breakfast, before we go to the beach. We like Bar Coco. |

Hiya
We managed to get away last Oct and went all inclusive but because of covid the ques for beer and food was long
Food que to even get in food hall was really long you got took to a table then had to que to get food and you had to tell them what you wanted on the plate, to eat it took upto a hour and half to have a meal because of the long que even at the bar day and night was 30 to 60 min wait, so while covid is about I would go self catering
Thanks Jo |

Think this is good advice. From what we have been told hotels in Majorca who normally provide all inclusive/ buffet style have been told that all restaurant service must be waiter only and numbers in the restaurant limited so there may well be long queues as hotels get used to the new arrangements |

Half board works for us. We are getting up for breakfast, usually out for lunch and coming back for dinner. Trip advisor is good to check quality of food. We are trying to stay away from massive hotels. |
