I did A1 twice, both times cos out of season and were cheaper than b and b or self catering package with flights! Intended to use them just as a b and b and go out the rest of the time as usual
1st in Malta 1998 for my birthday in Jan, Fantastic food etc We did intend go out at night but after shower etc we went to restaurant and bar area for an apperitif and were too tempted by the food so stayed there
2nd time was in Side again out of season It was our 25th wedding anniversary and again cheapest package we found. Fab place again and we even stayed on our anniversary night which I said I would no way do! But that night I did win a leather jacket worth more than the hol cost all week
That said we had many more holidays and I always prefered self catering so we could have the freedom to go where we wanted
The only A1 i would do now maybe are the Gulet cruises Did so many here in Turkey, which is how I found Fethiye
