Meals
Accommodation in Międzyzdroje: breakfast only or half board?
The difference between breakfast only (BB), breakfast and dinner (HB, half board) and room only, and between a restaurant on site and meals included in the price — using the properties we cover in Międzyzdroje as examples.
Short answer
The meal plan is part of the specific offer, not a feature of the property. A restaurant on site does not mean meals are included. Before paying, check in the booking summary whether you have breakfast only (BB), breakfast and dinner (HB) or room only.
Quick choice
- You want dinners taken care of
Hotel Wolin has separate BB and HB offers. - Breakfast is enough for you
Villa Martini — breakfast packages; Hotel Wolin — BB offer. - You would rather cook
An apartment with a kitchen — see the apartment guide. - You are travelling with children
Ask how children’s meals are charged on HB.
This guide helps if…
- you are comparing offers with different meal plans
- you want to know what BB and HB really include in a specific offer
- you are wondering whether a kitchen in an apartment can replace a meal plan
This guide will not help if…
- you are looking for restaurant reviews or menus
- you need meal prices
- you are looking for information about special diets — ask the property about these
BB, HB and room only
HB usually means breakfast and dinner — check this in the offer description.
Hotel Wolin has separate BB (breakfast only) and HB (breakfast and dinner) offers. Villa Martini offers breakfast packages. Golden Tulip serves breakfast on site, but we have not confirmed whether breakfast is included in the price. At Aurora, you will find the meal plan in the specific offer.
The Marina apartment operator (not the same as Aquamarina) states on its website that breakfast is included; if you book through an intermediary, check the meal plan.
- Marina (ul. Gryfa Pomorskiego 1). Apartments for up to 4 people and Premium apartments for up to 6. The operator states on its website that breakfast is included; if you book through an intermediary, check the meal plan. Parking is paid. We found no information about a pool. This is a different operator from Aquamarina / Marina Invest. Official property information ↗
A restaurant is not a meal plan
WAVE describes restaurants and a children’s menu, but that does not mean meals are included in the price of your stay. The operator of Aquamarina / Marina Invest does not state that meals are included.
A restaurant in the building is a convenience, not part of the package. If the offer summary says nothing about breakfast or dinner, assume you will pay for them separately.
If you want to eat in the property’s restaurant without a meal plan, ask whether you need to book a table in advance and whether guests without a meal plan can have breakfast for an extra charge.
When half board makes sense
HB works well when you don’t want to look for somewhere to eat after a full day out, when you are travelling with small children who eat at set times, or when you prefer to have your food costs fixed in advance.
It is less worthwhile on a stay where you want to eat in different places or come back late in the evening. In that case, breakfast only (BB) gives you more freedom. Ask the property what time dinner is served before you choose HB.
A kitchen instead of a meal plan
An apartment with a kitchen is a third option: you make breakfasts and some dinners yourself. Which apartment types have a kitchen according to the operators is covered in the apartment guide.
Children’s meals
With offers that include meals, ask whether children’s meals are included or charged separately, and from what age. We did not find these rules in the descriptions we checked. WAVE mentions a children’s menu in its restaurants, but that is information about the menu, not about meals included in the price.
How to check the meal plan in the booking summary
Offer names can be misleading: a ‘family package’ or a ‘relaxing stay’ doesn’t tell you what is on your plate. Before paying, find a clear entry in the booking summary: BB, HB or ‘room only’. If you are booking through an intermediary, compare it with the offer description on the property’s website.
Diets, allergies and mealtimes
If anyone in your party has an allergy or a special diet, write to the property before booking. We found no information about diets in the descriptions we checked, so it is up to the property to confirm whether it will prepare suitable meals.
Also ask about breakfast and dinner times. If you leave early for a day trip or come back late, mealtimes may decide whether HB is worth it at all.
