• EP (European plan):- The European Plan, abbreviated as EP in hotel price listings, indicates that the quoted rate is strictly only for lodging/accommodation and does not include any kind of meals. Any food provided by the hotel on the demand of you is billed separately and paid on checkout. Taxes and tips are usually additional as well and paid separately as well. The European Plan (EP) is not limited to European hotels. Hotel, resort, and many Properties all over the world offer it.

CP (Continental plan):- The Continental Plan, which is abbreviated as CP in hotel listings, means that the quoted rate includes breakfast on the premises for every guest who occupies a room overnight with CP plan. Normally this breakfast meal takes place in the hotel’s restaurant or in a dedicated breakfast room with a few tables and chairs with pre-decided hotel Menu Buffet. Typically a continental breakfast is set out buffet-style—meaning you have to get up, select what you want to eat, serve yourselves, and bring your food back to your table. At someplace, you’ll also have to collect and arrange your own plates, cutlery, glasses, and napkins. There is no set limit on how much you can eat, until you satisfied your stomach, as long as you leave enough for the other guests. A continental plan breakfast array is usually only available during a span of several hours in the morning.
