Hi, When booking a deluxe room at Iberotel Il Mercato, What is the difference between "all inclusive" and "all inclusive SILVER" ? 1 Answer
Hi Jay
Thank you for your interest in a holiday to Sharm.
Each supplier has a different description of all inclusive.
Although this is a general term you may see any of the following
All inclusive light
All inclusive
All inclusive bronze
All inclusive silver
All inclusive gold (or premium)
Silver is a high standard of all inclusive and may include some extras ordinary all inclusive does not.
If you see the same hotel ie the Iberotel Il Mercato with both descriptions, chances are it is actually exactly the same, just different suppliers' wording.
There should be full details of what's included under the hotel description on our website, or more detailed information on the hotel's own website.
The Iberotel Il Mercato is a very popular hotel. It receives rave reviews and many repeat bookings.
I hope this helps with your decision and if you would like any help with your booking please do not hesitate to call 0161 372 0081 and ask for Kelly on extension 3267 and I will endeavour to assist you.
Kind regards
