Atlantica Princess Hotel
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have just returned from two weeks staying at the Atlantica Princess in Rhodes and had such a wonderful time that I felt compelled to write this review. Rhodes is a Greek Island which is situated in the eastern Aegean Sea just 11 miles from the Turkish Coast (on clear days you get a magnificent view of Turkey).
Our choice of this hotel and destination was purely through last minute panic at the beginning of the year where we realised that everywhere was quickly getting booked up!

With all the kit and caboodle you have to pack with two very young children I still had my doubts right up to the departure lounge.
I have been to Cyprus four times; the last trip was in the summer of 1990, just as the Gulf war kicked off. I remember seeing the island surrounded by the British War ships and kept thinking, ?Was this a good idea??.
For this holiday, I found a perfect hotel on the Internet and booked direct, thus saving quite a bit of money.
