travels aboard

Arriving late afternoon, hotel around 40 minutes from the airport depending on drop offs, , Reception and check in was very quick and easy, Explained the routine and shown to the rooms, staff are so laid back, its unbelievable, in a friendly way, The room we were in was in the block above the Snack bar. First impressions was a light airy large room, air conditioning free, Fridge ( empty ), no kettle for hot drinks, bathroom well maintained and clean, make sure you take a bath plug just in case!! Towels are changed 3 times a week, this includes your first night, no room service on a Sunday, No waistbands to wear, which is a good thing, All drinks that are A/I is help yourself, wine beers and soft drinks from the pull 2 spirits (ouzo, raki and brandy) from the bottle at the end of the counter, anything else you pay for. Bar staff keep the place clean and tidy collecting empties etc., so you know what you are getting A/I, Snack bar good choice of sandwiches, sweets, nibbles...

We were there from 16 th Feb to the 23 rd Feb for a relaxed chilled out holiday, and that is what we got. Airport was a bit hit and miss, finding transfers was a laugh, no reps in the airport, and suitcases for 4 flights on one baggage belt was a bit of a bun fight, coming back, long queues for both scanning of cases and through customs, beware you need to fill in an exit visa card as well, so have a pen handy or ask for extra cards on the plane coming out, General room   On arrival at the hotel, we were greeted by the desk manager with a drink and cool hand towels to refresh, who explained all the hotel and that we were the only English couple in today, we were booked for the garden section, but were told we were upgraded to the superior rooms facing the pools with the extra added, the good wife still thinks I had planned this, but did not, the room was as excepted , good size with walk in shower, fridge, coffee tea and kettle, safe (free) plenty of electric   ...

Coming to its sell by date. This is the third time at the Leo in 3 years, and its starting to show its age, Again the hotel is in an ideal position, close to beach etc and within easy reach for the airport. We decided to stay full board this time, and really enjoyed the meals, breakfast plenty of choice and there were 3 microwaves around the room to use if needed, plenty of choice, both hot and cold, Lunch was a calming experience, as there were never more than 15 tables covered, and there was a good spread of meals on display to choose from, to enjoy at a comfortable pace, Evening meal you need to time your entrance, as it will get rather full and there is no urgently to clean tables for new arrivals, sometimes causing queuing at the door. Again rooms are basic, but clean, no fridge or kettle etc., air conditioning is hit and miss, but if you are willing you can pay 39 euros to hire a fridge, bathroom clean and functional, now , plenty of hot water,   There are 3 views...

Just returned from a week’s break, at the aquis after reading past reviews needed to see what the bad reviews were about, maybe I stayed at a different hotel but could not fault it., Think of a island within an Island, once the coach drops you off at the top of the village, you are taken down the steep road to the bottom, and only the brave try to walk back up. Renovated for the new season looking clean and fresh, decoration to a high standard. You do need to do your homework, beforehand so you are not disappointed, as there are no shops bars etc., just the hotel and the beach, so once you enter you there for the duration. On arrival the reception could not have being better, one form to fill in, staff were very pleasing to help, your cases were then carried down to the room, There are 146 rooms facing the sea and only 35 inland, so you should be lucky to receive a sea view, it’s worth emailing the hotel the day before to request one. Rooms were to a good standard, black out curt...

Why Prague, beautiful city, cheap beer, food etc great for a break. Stayed for 4 nights this time, will now record 4 days of the action and events. I found this site for all resturants and details so made planning very eas www.mapy.cz/#mm=ZP@sa=s@st=s@ssq=praha%20k%C5%99emencova%207@sss=1@ssp=120705957_122357633_150393765_149833601@x=133028656@y=135957904@z=16]Prague Cannot recommend this hotel enough, close to all the action, but set in a peaceful location www.hotelconstans.cz/ For cheap lunches and where all the specials are on check this site www.lunchtime.cz/restaurace/praha/   then all you do is pick your area and then click on the menus,easy Day 1 Hotel checked, so its out and about, left out of the hotel , down the hill past the american embassy, and then across Charles bridge, still the same no change, quick tour of the old town square, stood with the crowds on the hour to watch the clock, then a quick meal at U Vejvodù on Jilska 4th Street which was 3 minutes...

Booked for 4 nights, with being a small hotel was worried of over booking, but there were no concerns all paperwork was waiting and the room ready, plus I like it when you pay at the end of your visit, We had a large room 60Sq. metres on the top floor with views of 3 sides of the hotel, The Room was set out as an open suite with bedroom, sitting area and bathroom, plus lots of space for cloths etc. plenty of hot water and heating. Breakfast was basic but more than enough for choice, There is an evening restaurant but not used as it closes at 8. Small bar area again not used. Reception was very helpful, plenty of information etc. Only a short walk away from bars, and cafes and restaurants but be watchful of the prices they charge, found some little gems in the area so do your homework, 10 minute walk to the Charles Bridge and other sights, Overall a cheerful experience and will use again and recommend this little gem of a hotel to friends and family.

Just back from the Leo, second visit, again no faults, it done what it said on the tin, Ok its cheap, set back 200metres from the sea front, full of holiday guests from various countries, there was around 4-6 couples from England, but that is the appeal of the place, you go with the flow, don’t judge it against other English hotels, if you want Thomson’s, book with them , Right after converting Euros to English cost was £33.00 per night for the room half board, full board was a extra £5, flights were cheap as well so was a perfect finish to the Year, under under£350 for 5 nights, booked with Booking.com and Easy jet and again used the 2 euro transfer bus. Bedrooms plain and simple, cleaned very day, lucky this time with a pool/sea view on the 5th floor, ask for 557 in a great spot, TV 1 English channel but never it, you can hire a fridge for 30 Euros, but here is the rub there is only one plug for the fridge or TV you decide, clean towels every day, hard and grey but done the job, ...

Back from the Royal Kenz on the 29th August, after reading the reviews over the last 4 months, not sure if we were in the same hotel. Could not fault the hotel or the experience, as a seasoned reviewer will mention areas separate. We arrived late i.e. 10:30pm and as the coach was full 40 guests plan B went into action, whilst I get the cases, the good wife heads for check in, always first in, and by the time I arrive with cases everything is sorted, Key in hand we head for the room, we were lucky to have asked ahead for the new block, standard rooms but twice the size, yes you are facing the main road, but the peace and quiet, it was great. The room measures a good 17 yards by 5 yards, flat screen TV new air con chilled to 5c each night, consent hot water, extra large bed and a sitting area, all were tiled with a small carpet. We took our own kettle, coffee etc, no need to upgrade to a superior room ask for rooms over 625-631. As we were all inclusive we soon filled the fridge w...

First of all a big thank you to the following couples who made this a perfect holiday, Terry and Anne John and Phyllis, Sam and Lucy, Sandy, and everyone else we mixed with. On arrival rooms not ready due to leavers etc., so made full use of bar area, and getting to know everyone there, beautiful views overlooking the sea, Buildings still looking a bit for wear, a good paint job would freshen them up, On arrival in the rooms (135) upstairs first impressions very basic, good fridge size, cooking = 2 rings, assorted pans etc., and electric kettle, so you need to be aware before planning any large dinner parties, but we managed fine, Bathroom lack of plugs which is the norm, and no shower hook for shower head, so you need to be good at multi-tasking, at the end of a shower, normally 4 to 6inches water in the bath around your feet, so be prepared, slow drainage, Towels fresh and hard, and changed mid-week, note you get your first toilet roll free, then you buy your own, good super...

Please check photos, which I visited the area March 19th 2010, and after talking to locals, after a structure failure, Hotel is closed, not sure if it will be open before May, def not for Easter break, if you have booked here I would be checking with tour operator for confirmation, and also will the local council allow all scaffolding on show ready for the holiday season. Stayed here in the past , hope its sorted soon.

Just returned from Hotel Lavente on March 19th, and as this is a Thomson gold Hotel decided to spilt the review in two halves, The Hotel itself, Bedrooms everything you can expect of a Spanish hotel, all carpeted, cleaned every day, TV all 7 English channels including sky sports and news, Bathroom clean large and spacious, plenty of hot water, mini bar empty so it’s a case of popping to the local spar and stock up, with water, drinks etc, at this time of year heating was on full, there was a sea full from the balcony as we were on the side in the square facing the main entertainment hall, and was in the shade from early in the morning, if you want the sun all day book a Superior room which have a pool and sea view. Again kettles are not standard in all rooms, only superior rooms so take your own. Main restaurant, buffet style service, just grab a table and eat, 2 gala nights over the week, plenty of choice, but why do they use tinned Veg!!!, also food tended to be warm to cold, ...

Ideal for a cheap holiday only minutes from the airport, and plenty of hotelsin the area, close to its big sister Palma. Miles of beaches, and clean: Stayed in the Hotel Leo Arrived at the Hotel Leo early around 10:30 in the morning on the airport bus which stops 50 metres away, Reception were great, even through check in was 14:00 a room was ready for us on the first floor. Room. Basic room with TV, bathroom etc, there was no fridge or mini bar, or any kettle, advise to take a small travel kettle if you like a drink, problem is there were only 2 electric points one for the TV and one in the bathroom, but we managed, good size bathroom plenty hot water, etc, maid service each day, bed was basic, sheet and over cover spare blanket in cupboard, Restaurant Good choice of food but it stayed the same each day for evening and Breakfast, The restaurant is not big enough over the weekend period, when large groups booked in, people waited at the door until a table was found, and a...

After reading so many reviews regarding the Pinhal Do Sol, I came with an open constructive mind and decided to review the hotel honestly and open. First impressions is its definably not for the loud and lively bunch who require a fun packed break, more of a laid back quiet approach to life, we arrived early for check in, so decided on spending a couple of hours at the pool side, What hits you first is the peace, the quietness of the pool area, only around 3 couples around the pool, this is the norm, most of the guests have hired cars and are away all day. If you are here for a chill out its perfect. Location is around 3 k from Quarteria and you are surrounded by fields and waste land, set in its own grounds it reminds you of a terraced street of 28 houses all in a row, the feeling is it was built as private apartments but never sold, so converted to guest rooms on 2 floors and a bar, restaurant t agged on the end. The restaurant hits you as pre 70,s its being a while since I saw one l...

Back from krakow , went out Wednesday 27th all resturants booked, hotel booked the ibis returned 1st September . Miod i Wino 'Honey and Wine' serves up old noblemans fare. Indeed, you could well imagine a Sarmatian nobleman in his fur-trimmed coat and silk belt, banging his flagon on the table and singing a rowdy tune with his comrades in arms. This restaurant serves a good range of traditional Polish dishes, from bigos (a hunters stew), to fried trout and perch. It would make a good choice for a family dinner, and young children are sure to enjoy the atmosphere Pod Krzyzykiem Pod Krzyzykiem is something of a tongue-twister for non-Slavic souls - it means under the little cross. Inside, you'll find a distinctive restaurant with all kinds of eccentric Cracovian flourishes. The owner has woven echoes of Stanislas Wyspianski's designs into the decor, with spiralling chestnut leaf balustrades, which were a hallmark of Cracovian art nouveau. This is an upmarket place offeri...
