We've been AI for the last 4 holidays - the last three in Turkey. I must be lucky because I've never had a problem!!!
It's been so good I'm trying hard not to book Turkey for next year.
2005 - Letoonia Fethyie;
2006 - Yasmin Bodrum nr Turgetries;
2007 - Aegean Dream Resort Turgetries;
They have all used the same basic formula as outlined by lynwestie; celine and blue peter. There was always something to eat as the menus were always varied.
I think we probably ate out on 1 occassion on each holiday and that was just for a change of scene rather than any comment upon the quality of the food. The ability to obtain soft drinks and water during the day without any fuss removes a task..... and all makes the holiday run smoothly and therfore less stressful.
Often the price difference is minimal and therfore I would suggest paying the extra just for thebetter facilities and drinks. I've never had free watersports on a S/c hol
