The single supplement, and why a solo week costs nearly double

Who welcomes one adult, how many the room requires, and where a single supplement is stated.

A solo week starts with a cheerful question: will this resort book one adult?

Then look at the minimum for the room, and at the single supplement when the resort states one.

Good to know

How to read a solo quote without guessing.

  • Run the same dates as one adult and as two, and compare the two totals.
  • Welcome means a solo booking is accepted. It does not name the price.
  • Not accepted means the room is for two adults.
  • Restricted means some rooms or dates work for one adult and some do not.
  • Read the minimum adults on the offer, not just the resort name.
