I agree, for me AI is for isolated resorts, or those countries where it's not particularly safe to leave the resort (to be fair the type of places I don't go to).
I think AI in Spain, Greece etc would be such a shame

I'm grateful for any time away, whether it's 2 weeks in Florida or a weekend away in the UK. So many people can't afford any sort of holidays.

I never understand AI in Europe ...you miss so much. We do our own thing and get off the beaten track.

Go and explore the island? Catch a bus or book a trip. On the rare occasion we do a lazy holiday we always have options and leave the hotel.

I've done a couple of AI, fine for me for a week but any longer I want a car so we can explore.
We've had two cracking holidays in the Algarve. Stayed in a villa, hired a car and explored the west Algarve. Had some amazing meals in stunning settings, had a day at a beach which was full of surfers, great to watch, went fishing for a day, explored Lagos, took a canoe round the caves. And the food is so much better than the food served up in the parks in Disney and Universal. Food was amazing. Fabulous sunsets and stunning scenery. It is more expensive to hire a villa with a pool in the Algarve but the flights, food and drinks are way cheaper. Jet2 do great cheap flights and it's only 2 hours away. |

We were just half board
We’ve done the palms trips sightseeing bus tours but just not for us We’ve enjoyed local quisine at lunch times even dinner in Palma We are also lucky no mad rush for sun beds but just not for us As I said I know I’m very lucky to be on holiday, however chalked up to experience and just not for us maybe a few days in a city break But either way we know we are fortunate to have got away

Sometimes you just want to get away and bask in the sun , something we don’t have a lot of in the UK 😉
I’m quite happy to spend a week in a decent hotel doing absolutely nothing but relaxing around a pool with a good book , no meals to cook and having my room cleaned, I’m not even bothered about entertainment as a nice walk out in the evening suits me fine . We have done trips but I’m just as eager to get back to the hotel. After seven days I have recharged my batteries and I’m ready to go home . AI has nothing to do with the holiday really as you can still do trips and sightseeing, you are not confined to the hotel no matter what board you have , many a time on AI we have gone out to eat , it’s not usually that much of a difference in price and if that’s the case we will do AI on the grounds that the food is there if you want it with the option of eating out if the hotel food isn’t to your taste . AI can give the impression of a crowded hotel with sun bed wars and bun fights at meal times and I don’t doubt that is the case sometimes , it’s just a case of choosing the right hotel 😊
