Okay, let’s keep it a hundred: If you’re visiting a city famous for its street food—like Bangkok or Mexico City—Half Board is a trap. You’ll be stuck in a hotel dining room while the world’s best pad thai is being cooked a block away.
Similarly, if you’re the type who loves spontaneous road trips or hates schedules, this plan will feel like a leash. You’ll resent that 7:30 PM reservation because you’re still hiking a volcano or something. (First-world problems, I know.)
And if you’re a picky eater? Forget it. The dinner buffet might feature things like “escargot surprise” or “mystery stew.” You’ll end up eating plain bread and butter, and paying for it twice.
