Frequently Asked Questions

If you need a cot in your hotel room, just let us know before you travel so we can request one. Just so you know, we’ll add the request to your booking but, unfortunately, we can’t guarantee the cot will be available when you arrive.

At some hotels, you’ll need to pay a charge to use a cot during your stay. For some family hotels, you’ll also see an option to pre-book a cot as you book your holiday online.

Dress codes vary between hotels, but sometimes, shorts are a no-go during dinner, so it’s worth taking an alternative.

Things such as free tea and coffee, pool towels, Wi-Fi, a hairdryer or a fridge will usually be listed in the hotel overview as part of the Rooms summary. If you can’t find what you’re after or you need something specific, get in touch and we’ll double-check.

Here’s a guide to what each of the board basis options mean:

Self catering: Meals are not included at your accommodation, but you’ll be provided with catering facilities to cook light meals.

Bed and breakfast: Breakfast is included at your accommodation.

Half board: Your breakfast and evening meal are included at your accommodation.

Full board: Your breakfast, lunch and evening meals are included at your accommodation.

All Inclusive: All Inclusive packages vary depending on where you’re staying, but usually include all meals plus drinks and sometimes snacks, too. To find details on what’s included at a specific stay, just check the hotel’s page. You’ll usually need to pay extra for any facilities marked with an asterisk.

Unfortunately, kids’ clubs aren’t available to book via the First Choice app. It’s best to speak with your hotel reception for the best way to do this. Some hotels have their own in-house apps or some take bookings at the kids’ club directly.

In 2020, the Balearic Islands introduced legislation that places limits on the sale and availability of alcohol.

This only applies within the resorts of San Antonio in Ibiza, and Magaluf and Playa de Palma in Majorca – it doesn’t affect other parts of the Balearics or mainland Spain.

If we become aware of any change that’ll significantly impact your holiday, we’ll of course let you know.
