Background
I am currently travelling on Tjäreborg "inclusive" travel to Sunwing Cala Bona Beach.
2012 we traveled on "all inclusive" travel by TUI to Southern Turkey. As we don't have too much money to spare we try to find good quality travels as cheap as possible. And this blog post is our conclusions.
Spain vs. Turkey
On both cases the hotel was a bit far from civilization. As a result there was not terribly many restaurants to choose from. Although prices were cheaper than in central of a city such as Palma. As I have been traveling extensively, I am not interested of most sites since I have seen something more impressive already. That suites well since tours are expensive and/or harder to find than in "best" places.
As countries go, I don't have preference between Turkey and Spain: both of them have overly good sales people who don't care about extorting truth as long as they don't meet police because of that. Palma had more foreigners selling than Spaniards, which was good. But on overall both were safe to us, although one American I know was stolen three times in Spain in a single day so stay on better neighborhoods.
Tjäreborg vs. TUI
Both hotels were nice four star hotels where dining was in five star hotel. Food was about equally good: fresh fruit juice, king prawns, stake, free decent wine etc. Spain was a bit better and had wider variety. But it was also more crowded and you could not fetch drinks freely. On both hotel rooms had something small to fix.
For our children,Turkey was clearly better as they spoke English also. On Spain they spoke Swedish 80-90% and rest was English, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish and German. Our daughter knew two of those languages, but still didn't join because of the language barrier.
For grown UPS also, Turkey had shows and common sports (on paper Spain had also but my attendance was 14-0 on behalf of Turkey). Turkey had crappy old gym, whereas Spain was well equipped. But then Turkey had a beach that was better than the beach Spanish hotel was named after even though it was half a kilometer away. And to find decent beach you had to travel a kilometer in Spain. So add 10€ per day on bicycle budget in there.
Conclusions
Singl
Swedish speaking women and girls should choose according to price.
