Correct and healthy eating for many tourists is one of the most important and fundamental issues of a good and good rest. To date, there are no regulatory systems or standards that would allow you to be sure that the chosen hotel will have a healthy, correct and varied table.

Naturally, any vacationer today knows that in Turkish hotels the food is very good and after the end of the tour, you will arrive home a few kilograms heavier. But French hotels will not provide you with such food. But in any case, food in a 5 * hotel will be much better than in a 3 *. Since the type of food in all world hotels is indicated with Latin letters, let's see what the abbreviation FB means.

FB power type

Food fb, what does it mean, what does it include and how does this Latin abbreviation stand for? System power FB ( full transcript full board in Russian means "full board") is a buffet that is offered to guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner. At the same time, the FB+ type of food system is a full board with breakfast, lunch and dinner (buffet), as well as various free spirits, usually locally produced, which are served during three meals a day.

In some expensive hotels with the FB system, guests are served free champagne for breakfast.

Therefore, if you see the FB designation, then this means that you can be sure that you do not have to think about your diet, since three times a day you can choose for yourself a wide variety of dishes with buffet and eat as much as you want. Portions are not limited. This has its own significant and very significant advantages, since not every person will be able to fully satisfy his hunger, represented by "weighted" dishes of a certain weight in grams.

But meanwhile, lunch, as well as dinner, can be presented as a buffet, as well as the usual service by waiters according to the presented menu. But at FB system all drinks that guests order during the day and in the evening they must pay separately. This type food is suitable for almost all tourists, and especially couples with small children who are sometimes very picky about food.

I would also like to note that if there is an opportunity to choose between half board and board, then usually vacationers choose the first option, since in countries such as Spain, Greece and the island of Cyprus, you can easily find a suitable inexpensive tavern near the hotel or hotel and have a good lunch.

It is not possible to replace lunch at a hotel with dinner or vice versa in every resort hotel, but United Hotels United Arab Emirates provide this service to their guests.

What is buffet in hotels?

The buffet as such is a self-service system, when there are several large tables or special closed trays with various types dishes: salads, side dishes, meat, fish, desserts, fruits. Guests walk past the tables and choose their favorite dishes, which they put on their plate in unlimited quantities.

Expensive hotels may have A la Carte restaurants (themed or dividing by world cuisines). Here the client chooses the dishes he likes, and the waiter then brings them. Depending on the food system, such restaurants can be both paid and free. If the A la Carte restaurant is paid, and you have the FB type of food, then you can dine there with a good discount and at the expense of a buffet dinner. It is also necessary to remember that guests can order dinner in such a hotel restaurant only by appointment and preferably a few days before the planned event.

As you know, without food - and not there, and not here. As well as without water, and for some - without something stronger. Especially away from home. Thus, when going on vacation or a business trip, you should responsibly approach the choice of a hotel according to such a criterion as the type of food.

In the description of hotels, the type of food is indicated by a letter abbreviation - for example, HB or FB. Let's look at what abbreviations are and what they mean.

NA (Not Available)- not available OB (Only Bed) or BO (Bed Only)- bed only (i.e. accommodation only), RO (Room Only)- Only room. These abbreviations in the "Food" column mean that at least in the basic version, the hotel will not offer you food - only accommodation. Sometimes food can be ordered additionally upon arrival, but it may not be available at all.

Accommodation-only hotels attract tourists with their price. However, before choosing this option, calculate how much food in cafes and restaurants will cost you for the entire stay. It often turns out that it is more profitable to immediately choose a hotel with meals. In well-known resorts, this type of food is very rare. It is more typical for small city hotels and apartments.

BB (Bed and Breakfast)- bed and breakfast. This type means that breakfast is included in the price. This option of food is most often offered by hotels in Europe, where sightseeing tourism is very developed. Such tours involve an early departure from the hotel, numerous excursions throughout the day and a late return to the hotel. In this case, it is more convenient to have lunch and dinner on the route. The BB option is also suitable for those who do not eat after 18.00, because dinner in hotels is usually served later.

There are several options for this type of food:

• CBF (Continental Breakfast)- Continental breakfast. This is the easiest breakfast option. Usually tea or coffee, juice, buns, jam, butter, cheese are served. Most often, this type of breakfast is offered in France.
• EBF (English Breakfast)- English breakfast. It consists of coffee or tea, juice, toast, butter, jam and, of course, scrambled eggs, porridge.
• ABF (American Breakfast)- American breakfast. In addition to the usual tea or coffee, scones and jam, it includes scrambled eggs, bacon or sausages, pancakes with syrup, cereal or porridge, orange or grapefruit juice. Sometimes cold cuts, salads and a hot dish can be included.
• BBF (Buffet Breakfast)- Buffet. With this option, you can take as much food as you like, but it is forbidden to take food out of the restaurant. The set of buffet products depends on the country and the star rating of the hotel. Of course, this type of breakfast is the most satisfying and favorite among tourists. And it is the most common, so it is often not specified in the description of the hotel: in this case, BB means bed and breakfast buffet.

You should be aware that if breakfast is included in the price, it is impossible to refuse it. That is, of course, no one will force you to eat, but money is not returned for a missed meal. Usually breakfast is served at seven in the morning. In case of early check-out from the hotel or departure for an excursion, you must notify the receptionist and they will collect a lunch package for you (juice, yogurt, sandwiches) or, if possible, organize breakfast earlier.

DNR (Dinner)- dinner. Like BB, a one-time meal option, meals can be organized as a buffet or a la carte. The buffet is usually presented with a variety of cold appetizers and salads, as well as one or two hot dishes. A fairly rare type of food.

BBL (Bed and Breakfast + Lunch)- breakfast + lunch. Option with two meals a day according to the buffet system, while the lunch menu differs from the morning menu, mainly due to the addition of soups. This type of food is more typical for non-resort destinations and is also offered infrequently.

BRD (Brunch Dinner)- Breakfast, turning into lunch, + dinner. This is a non-standard type of food, in which a long period of time is allotted for the morning meal (from morning until about noon). This option is especially convenient for skiers, so many hotels offer it. winter resorts. In addition to food, local non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks are provided free of charge.

HB (Half Board)- half board. Like the BBL option, this system involves two meals a day, but usually it is breakfast and dinner (buffet). It is extremely rare for hotels to offer to replace dinner with lunch; without any problems, this service is provided only in hotels in the UAE. With this type of meal, tea, coffee and water are provided free of charge for breakfast only. All drinks at dinner - for an additional fee, unfinished bottles of spirits are served at the next dinner. Each time you do not need to pay for the drinks you have drunk, it is enough for the waiter to tell the number of your room, and you will be provided with a total bill upon check-out from the hotel.

This food option is very common in 3* and 4* hotels. Such a system is also suitable for tourists who are planning short sightseeing trips, or for those who just have a bite to eat in a cafe on the beach as a lunch.

HB+ (Half Board Plus) or ExtHB (Extended Half Board)- extended half board. It differs from the standard HB in that, in addition to breakfast and dinner, the price includes local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks throughout the day.

HBS (Half Board Superior)- half board highest quality. Includes champagne upon arrival, breakfast, brunch, dinner and late dinner. Dinner is offered in the main restaurant (buffet system) or in the a la carte restaurant (a la carte menu). Local alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are offered free of charge at dinner, but in limited quantities.

FB (Full Board)- full board. This is three meals a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner (buffet). This option is indispensable for those who need to eat regularly, while not getting carried away with alcohol: all alcoholic and non-alcoholic (except a jug of water) drinks at lunch and dinner are offered for an additional fee.

FB+ (Full Board Plus) or ExtFB (Extended Full Board)- extended full board. It differs from the usual FB in that alcoholic drinks are offered free of charge during meals.

ALL, All or Al (All Inclusive)- all inclusive. The All Inclusive system means that, in addition to three meals a day, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks of local production are offered free of charge in unlimited quantities, as well as additional meals in the form of a second breakfast, afternoon snack, barbecue in bars, late dinner.

Many mistakenly believe that only 4- and 5-star hotels operate on the All Inclusive system. But often hotels offer this type of food. low level. The difference lies in the quantity and quality of free services. Undoubtedly, a buffet in a 5 * hotel will be more varied and of higher quality than in a 2-3-star hotel.

However, in hotels of the same star rating, the quality of All Inclusive may vary. After all, it is also influenced by the level of training of cooks and service personnel and the importance given to food by hotel management. It even happens that a 3-star hotel offers more varied and tasty food than a 4-star one (the same can be said about 4* and 5* hotels).

The classic version of All Inclusive has already been developed both in the direction of simplification, and vice versa. In the first case, this Mini All Inclusive- mini all inclusive. The system offers three meals a day (usually buffet style) and locally produced drinks with meals. At other times, alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks are limited.

The type of food has become a richer All Inclusive option UAL, UAI (Ultra All Inclusive)- ultra all inclusive. In this system, 24-hour meals and imported alcoholic beverages are also included in the price. The choice of such drinks is usually limited, and in bars, elite brands of wines and cognacs are offered for an additional fee.

Only the most luxurious and fashionable hotels operate under the Ultra All Inclusive system. The variety and choice of dishes here is huge, the quality is excellent. Often, dishes are prepared right in front of visitors.

Some hotels, in addition to the usual buffet, offer a la carte restaurant services. This is a small restaurant with a festive atmosphere, where you order from the menu and you are served by a waiter. As a rule, such restaurants are themed: fish, barbecue, Chinese, Italian, Mexican, etc. Drinks are offered of a higher class than in a regular restaurant and bars. The number of free visits to such restaurants should be checked with the hotel administrator.

Sometimes, in the Ultra All Inclusive system, hotels include, in addition to the gastronomic component itself, a number of additional bonuses, not related to meals: individual procedures in SPA centers, flowers in the room, additional entertainment on the beach, etc. Each hotel has its own set of included services. For this reason, there are many varieties of the Ultra All Inclusive system: Super All Inclusive, VIP All Inclusive, Deluxe All Inclusive, Elegance All Inclusive, High Class All Inclusive etc.

As you can see, food in hotels can be very different. And it's important to do right choice so as not to be disappointed later. When choosing the type of food, first decide how you imagine the rest itself. Are you planning sightseeing trips, frequent trips to the city, or do you prefer passive relaxation by the pool with a glass of wine?

Keep in mind that everyone has different eating habits. It is enough for someone to eat thoroughly once a day, and the rest of the time to be content with snacks. Someone is accustomed to fully eat three times a day. And someone feels the need to refresh himself in the middle of the night, especially if he is awake at that time.

The choice of type of food also depends on gender. Men are more willing to choose All Inclusive, where not only food, but also alcohol is offered in abundance. Girls being afraid extra pounds prefer half board. It is more difficult to make a choice if you are going on vacation with the whole family and it is necessary to take into account the interests of all its members. Going on vacation with children, do not forget that they need good nutrition. Most 5-star hotels with the ALL and UAL system offer a separate children's and diet menu.

Before booking a hotel, look for reviews from other travelers about the hotel and its cuisine. Of course, absolutely everyone cannot like the same food, but if there are a lot of negative reviews, this should alert you. Low-quality, and simply too exotic food can ruin your vacation(or a business trip, worse). Do not forget, nutrition is something that directly affects your health and what is better not to save on.

When booking a hotel, you may come across the abbreviations RO, BB, HB, BF, AI, UAI and not immediately understand what they mean. In fact, these are just the types of food in the hotel. Their detailed description see below!
