Tour operators entice with euphemistic hotel descriptions in their catalogues. But caution is also required online: some formulations are hidden warnings that need to be deciphered.
Most descriptions of all-inclusive hotels, whether in travel catalogs or on booking sites on the Internet, are of an advertising nature and only praise the advantages of a holiday resort. The disadvantages are hardly mentioned. And sometimes the reality on site looks very different than in the travel brochure. However, if you take the trouble to read between the lines while reading, you will discover important clues.
STERN PAID Glosse summer vacation
Similar to job references, the tourism industry knows a language with a double meaning. As is well known, the devil is in the details of a service description. Terms like “short transfer to the airport” should set off alarm bells, because the hotel is in the immediate vicinity of the airport, in the worst case right in the flight path.
“Sea side” means nothing other than the fact that the beach is not within reach. Usually there are still some buildings between the hotel and the water. Only the “sea view” promises a view of the water, albeit not undisturbed: In practice, this can mean no more than a visual aisle between two hotel boxes.
Those vacationers are happier who have not been fooled by the word “near the beach”, but have checked into a house “directly on the beach”. Then you can really spend your vacation in a hotel complex right by the sea.
