All inclusive - how much ?

[Bearpawk]

Looking at booking my first all inclusive holiday In a long time. I want something quite special as I've had a rough couple of years, health wise.

I was wondering if people think just shy of £1k pp for june in Turkey is reasonable for 7 nights?

Yes we can afford it and I would be willing to pay it if it's the norm, but it's more than I expected.

Beautiful hotel, adults only, gym spa etc very nice decor. Beautiful pools and restaurants, excellent reviews across all sites. Private beach. More of a sprawling green layout than a big tower block type so doesn't feel crowded. Nice convenient flights for us.

I was imagining more like £700pp but I can't find anything anywhere near as nice as nice on the usual websites for that sort of money. Plus most of the cheaper ones use easyJet flights so there's a load of add ons for baggage etc.

So, semi-luxury all inclusive regulars, what do you reckon?

Sounds cheap. We just paid just under £1K each for 9 nights in tenerife in may and although it was lovely i wouldnt call it luxurious. Get it booked

Thank you @addictedtotheflats I think I'll just book. Was tempted to hold off and wait to see if the prices come down at all closer to the time but the prices for 2 weeks time for example aren't any cheaper

I paid £800 for a week in a lovely hotel in Turkey and that was in Easter holidays. The same place for a week in August is £1500! £1000 is about right for June… especially for your description of the hotel.

Agreed that’s good value. £1300 is about average, you can get lower but not in school
holidays. October half term canaries for example you’ll be struggling to get AI for less than £1600. So £1k for mid term is about right.

That’s under £250 per night for your accommodation, 3 meals and any amount of drinks for two people. That’s so cheap!

We paid 650 for Tenerife in may . It was advertised as 4 star but would say it's closer to 3 star.

It's large buffet - chips burgers salad etc

It's ok but not outstanding

You've all convinced me

Do you mean for next month? The risk will be all the favourite hotels will likely have the best rooms booked by now. But I just priced up our favourite hotel and it's coming in about £1100 pp but that's a basic room, we tend to upgrade.

I’d say that’s extremely cheap, almost worryingly cheap but maybe I’m out of touch!

I’d say that was good value (at face value! You never know what it’s like until you get there), dh and I will sometimes have a week AI without the dc and always plan to use it more of a base than the focus of the whole holiday, usually pay 2-2.5K per person for 7 nights outside of school holidays. I say sometimes, we’ve done it I think 3 times 😂 so not AI aficionados!

It's not luxury, but it was lovely when we went this year:

Avra beach in Rhodes.

Right in the beach, food was great, bar and small restaurants right on the beach.
It is shingle though.
Cost £2400 for 4 of us.
Win trip advisor award.
Probably not luxury enough though ☺️

That’s a good price.

Star ratings have little to do with quality as a distinction between 3 and 4 star, its about facilities, some of which you won't notice or care about such as 24 hour reception or a 'business centre' aka a computer in the corner of the mezzanine floor.

I stayed in a 1 star hotel a couple of weeks ago. I have no idea how that rating was determined but it was lovely. Clean, modern, spa bath, comfy bed with nice bedding, massive balcony with a view over snowy mountains and the historical sights of the city I was visiting.

But to answer the OPs question that sounds like a really good price for what she describes. £700 would probably be more like high rise beige and chips level.

We pay about £1300 per adult for Turkey 4/5 star all inclusive. They've been amazing.

far too cheap

Yes next month. There's 300+ rooms spread over the site and you can pay extra to select a specific room so I'm not too worried

Haha that's good to know, no I'm out of touch I've never done AI for years! But factoring in flight costs and 3 meals a day plus snacks/ drinks it's good really isn't it.
I'm just used to previously finding incredible bargains with non- package hols but they don't seem to exist anymore for top end places (esp now with all the easyJet add ons which doubles flight prices)

@gettingolderbutcooler we usually go to Rhodes actually (villa di Mare in Ixia then down to lindos ) but want to try somewhere new

@Bearpawk
I confess it was with easyjet 😩- BUT it was also in school Easter holiday so it really was v good value.
Am trying to post a pic but am clearly doing it wrong ☺️

But factoring in flight costs and 3 meals a day plus snacks/ drinks it's good really isn't it.

not if it is a shit holding OP

If you read my post, it's most definitely not a shit hotel

@Bjorkdidit high rise beige and chips is such a good description. That's what all the £700 ones are

you don’t link to it
just your word about facilities 🤷
