Staying half board in a hotel help please

12 June, 2008 at 21:53 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 5

I wonder if anyone could please advise me on a few things when staying half board - I've always gone self catering and our honeymoon will be the first time we've both stayed somewhere HB! Two things really:

Dinner is buffet starter and desert, and the main course is waiter service. I am assuming we tip the waiter still....I know tipping is a personal thing in terms of how much...but roughly how much should we tip? ? It's a 5* hotel in Crete if that helps.

Would any alcohol be included with dinner...like wine? Or would we have to order and pay for that separately?

Um I think that's it ?

    Elounda?

    Anyway - You may find you get the same waiter each night - we would tip at the end of the holiday - waiters would not put down soft drinks & only bill the room for wine, beer.

    W Mrs JMP said.

    Oh and a little tip that took us a while to work out the first time we ate in a hotel. If you are ordering a bottle of wine with dinner don't feel like you have to drink it all that night. Quite often you can ask them to store it away and bring it out to you the next night.

    Well I drink white wine and MrB likes red wine. Each night we were both trying to polish off a bottle each rather than waste it. It was only when we spotted them bringing others peoples wine out that we realised we didn't have down a whole bottle each night. ?
