DRESS CODE

Hi Gail

Would say it depends on the hotels policy.

We have stayed in numerous all-inclusive hotels, and each of them have a formal dress code, ie. men must wear long trousers.
My husband always takes a pair of long trousers to wear for dinner and then changes back into shorts or 3/4 afterwards.
Better to be safe than sorry and wouldn't like the embarrassment of being turned away for being improperly dressed :omg

Part of the fun of holidays is dressing for dinner. :glynis

Have a lovely holiday

Hi Bridd,
We are going to Cyprus and staying in Constantinos the Great, Protaras,
I have just looked on their website, but can't seem to find anything on their dress code.

I think it depends what sort of hotel it is. If I'm staying in a 4 or 5 star hotel I always make an effort to look presentable at dinner. I wouldnt be happy having people in t shirts and 3/4 length trousers sitting in a restaurant, but maybe others dont mind. Probably safer to take all your options with you and see what its like when you get there.

The hotel Im staying at is a 5* ( so I think it best to do as you suggested) :)

Hi sunseeker,
Im just back off my holiday from cyprus and we stayed in a 5* AI and my husband wore 3/4 trousers and smart t/shirt.
I think as long as you don't wear shorts and vest tops for evening dining they are quite easygoing.
There was 14 of us altogether all different ages and (none of them wore long sleeves shirts)
So I don't think you will have to bake :wink:

I recently stayed at a 4* in Lanzarote, people were in shorts, t shirts, 3/4
length trousers at dinner, I was really suprised and felt somewhat overdressed. Last time I stayed in Spain there was a dress code at the hotel. For me part of the holiday if staying in a nice hotel is wearing smart clothes in the evening. If I wanted to wear ultra casual I would stay self catering.
