Hols 2024 Posted by Mike on 29/1/2024, 20:53:38 Need some help picking holiday 24. I usually go abroad all inclusive and have done quite well with gf choices. Specifically what hotel/location have you stayed in that has provided a good choice of gluten free food without any issues ? I have done lots in Spain so looking for somewhere else.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Peter on 8/2/2024, 10:50:24, in reply to "Hols 2024" We go to Tenerife frequently, staying self catering. There are lots of reataurants which cater for gluten free and plenty gf options in the supermarkets. Thers is an excellent forum on Facebook called Tenerife Gluten Free Group,

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Mike on 2/2/2024, 12:48:37, in reply to "Hols 2024" I just came across an App which I did not know existed. Search 'Gluten Free Card' in the app store and you can download for free translation cards for your mobile for 10 languages in total. Always handy.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Bobby S on 2/2/2024, 10:39:47, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" I'd recommend posting without the spammy link that has nothing to do with gf!

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Emma on 31/1/2024, 6:10:45, in reply to "Hols 2024" Spain Italy or Portugal are very easy. We go self catering and mix eating out with eating in. The food in Rome was fab!

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Janice on 30/1/2024, 22:56:06, in reply to "Hols 2024" South Africa, Singapore, USA, Caribbean, on lots of Cruises. Italy are really good. Lots in Europe, Belgium, Holland, France. If you take the Coeliac Gluten Free Restaurant Cards with you that you can print out on line.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by CAROL on 29/1/2024, 22:50:20, in reply to "Hols 2024" Try a Marella cruse. I have done many with them as all food is marked with GF signs. They are also all inclusive.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Mike on 30/1/2024, 16:15:16, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" Never done a cruise before but just priced up a Marella cruise for 14 days Vietnam, Thailand & Singapore and we are quite interested on doing it. What price are excursions on average, £50-75pp or £75-125pp. As it would add a fair bit on if we went on them all, but would like to get a rough price to add to our budjet.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by CAROL on 30/1/2024, 21:28:05, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" Excursions can range from £75 to £125 per couple. The only other extra is WI FI.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Mike on 30/1/2024, 16:36:00, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" Plus any hidden extras we need to know about.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Bill D on 30/1/2024, 22:45:06, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" Hi Mike, been on a few cruises, first couple were with First Choice holidays, then Ocean Village, all now defunct as a brand. GF catering a bit hit and miss but these were some years ago. Our last cruise was on P&O Britannia, looked after superbly well as regards my GF requirements. Recommend you track down a restaurant manager and get him on side. On Britannia they had a meeting for all people with food preferences and we were introduced to the main man who was brilliant, he looked out for us every day. Mind you this was pre-covid so can't say if everything is back to normal. That cruise called into Gibralter and the rousing singing and cheering to land of hope and glory and others as we left was amazing. Patriotism isn't dead yet. Bill D.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Louisa on 30/1/2024, 9:53:29, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" I’m ding a Marella cruise and stay next month so that’s good to know

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Louisa on 29/1/2024, 22:28:52, in reply to "Hols 2024" I went to Cyprus last summer and we stayed in Paphos at the Alexandra the Great beach hotel. The chefs were very knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel its self was fabulous and would happily return. The hotel is not All inclusive but half board.

Re: Hols 2024 Posted by Mike on 2/2/2024, 12:44:00, in reply to "Re: Hols 2024" Thanks Louisa, just the sort of answer I was looking for, a place and hotel name.
