What does half-board mean?

QUESTION: We are booking a holiday in the Caribbean and would like to know the difference between half-board, full board and all-inclusive packages at hotels. We wanted a bed and breakfast rate, but this is not available at some resorts. - Eric Davids

ANSWER: Half-board means you get breakfast and dinner, full board gets you three meals a day and an all-inclusive rate usually means that you will receive
meals, afternoon tea and all drinks for free. When it comes to alcoholic drinks, some hotels restrict the number of hours free drinks are available, while others only offer local brands for free. Then there are the resorts that offer a free bar service 24 hours a day and even include the contents of the mini-bars in the package.
