Spanish term

modalidad de pensión

Spanish to English Bus/Financial Tourism & Travel
"Dotación completa de bebidas, cafetera e infusiones, combinados y cocktails, todo ello reflejado en la carta vinculada a la modalidad T.I. En este bar también podrán disponer los huéspedes de una oferta complementaria a su modalidad de pensión con carta de bebidas Premium y primeras marcas a precios muy atractivos"

I thought this meant "room only" but I am having my doubts now. Could anyone confirm please?

Yes. It is according to the type of packkage. For instance, penthouse, cabanas, suites, might get a complete package of amenities, while others might be restricted.

I recently had to translate 'régimen de alojamiento' and I saw that 'deal' is often used on hotel websites.
Comunican (asker) Oct 18, 2019:
Aha! Package type - perfect, thank you! I am having a VERY slow day mentally today! I appreciate your help!
matt robinson Oct 18, 2019:
Modalidad T. I. This is an all inclusive package. It includes drinks at the bar from the all inclusive package list, and there is another list of premium drinks for purchase.
Modalidad de pensión would be "package type", or something similar.

agree Marian Vieyra : Yes, I was thinking along these lines too.

agree Rick Larg : Indeed. By contrast "a package" is usually understood to include transportation. In UK English at least.

meal plan

Although the plan may not include any meals at all (e.g., European plan), I've seen it referred to as "meal plan".

AP. MAP. CP. EP… You will see these terms floating everywhere when you try booking a hotel or are scrolling through any hotel’s brochure or website. But what are these terms supposed to mean? Well, they are nothing but meal plans. Here is what they generally mean:

(all-) inclusive package

My daughter works in a travel agency and we were talking about this just the other day. A lot of the more upmarket, exclusive tourist destinations don't like doing all-inclusive deals, but there is great demand for them nowadays.
