Club holidays without animation is like a swimming pool without the smell of chlorine: After a day of swimming fun and water aerobics, evening entertainment is part of the offer. The young employees of the hotels, who run the sports and children’s programs during the day, entertain their audience with more or less mediocre shows after dinner.
The spectrum ranges from solo entertainers such as magicians and lonely musicians on the Hammond organ to imitation Broadway shows to frivolous foam parties and Miss Wet T-shirt competitions at the poolside.
Animation program reviews
After returning from the summer holidays, vacationers like to talk about their experiences in their accommodations. When it comes to hotel ratings on the Internet, not only the room, location and surroundings, service, gastronomy, but also sports and entertainment options – including evening entertainment – play a role.
The German-language portal Holidaycheck.de collects nine million reviews of hotels worldwide. Accommodation that is booked as part of an all-inclusive travel package accounts for a large proportion, i.e. including flight, transfer and accommodation. This form of holiday is mostly backed by large tour operators who operate across Europe and fly their guests to destinations around the Mediterranean on beach holidays.
Guests expect more from these establishments: an animation program during the day and varied evening entertainment at the end of the day.
For the following pages of the photo gallery we have put together some of the most bizarre comments. We hope you enjoy clicking through.
