At Home at the Atlantic

Advantages: Great hotel, great place
Disadvantages: -

...it comes to accommodation and I won't just stay anywhere. Mr & Mrs Bedbug B&B, for me is out of the question, call me a snob but I would rather sleep in the car..lol. Upon arriving in the centre of Newquay you can see a huge hotel on the cliffs, which to me looked like a perfect hotel to stay in, driving up the bank to the hotel, we noticed that there was a wedding party there, so I wasn't counting my chickens however we parked up in the carpark, went inside and luckily they had a double room available at a cost of £45 per night per person including breakfast. Thats it we will take it. The hotel that we stayed in was the Atlantic Hotel. The hotel was purposely built in 1892 and is the largest hotel currently in Newquay. The hotel itself has recently been refurbished to include 12 luxurious suites, each with their own balcony, has...

Review of Atlantic Hotel, Newquay

Luxury all the way with Virgin Atlantic!

Advantages: Extremely helpful staff, comfortable
Disadvantages: expensive

...I often wonder why so many people say they will not travel with anyone other than virgin Atlantic, I simply could not see why people would pay over the odds for a flight to and from the same place. After my visit to Florida flying with Virgin Atlantic I found out why. I had travelled with virgin Atlantic before as a child when I went to Los Angles with my family. I don't remember the experience that well as I was only 10, all I remembered of the flight was being extremely travel sick and the little bag of goodies they give children when they board the flight. When we booked up to go to Florida I had my reservations because my daughter would only be 9 months when we travelled. I feared it would be a nightmare and she wouldn't sit still, there would be nowhere for her to sleep and the whole 10 hour fight would just be disastrous...

Review of Virgin Atlantic Airways - VIR

Virign Atlantic

Advantages: Good flying with them
Disadvantages: Not so good booking team

...Virgin Atlantic, the flying experience was great, I can't fault them, a great cabin crew team, good food and refreshments and a great in flight entertainment system on all A340-600 and other. It makes you flying experience so much more enjoyable being able to chose from 100's of films, tv programs, radio shows and even games to watch and play when you want. They even allow you to make calls and texts from up there. Flying in economy was actually a pleasant experience with fairly comfy seats a nice blanket and pillow and the leg room was pretty good for a trans-Atlantic airline. I would recomend flying with tem again. However the booking process was less good, some of the sales staff were great on the phone others not so, so watch this area!!...

Oh what a view . . .

Advantages: Great View, Great Location, Great Breakfast
Disadvantages: No Car Park, No Leisure Facilities

.... . . early March and I?m in Liverpool. (Sing along to the tune of ?Oh what a night?) Anyway, I went up to Liverpool to watch a UEFA cup match last season and decided that while I was up there I would make the most of it and stay the night. I took the two days off work and started looking for a deal on a hotel for the night. Not knowing Liverpool city centre very well I wanted to find a hotel that was centrally located and easy to find. Talking to some people who lived in and around Liverpool I had this hotel recommended to me. ** Location ** The hotel itself is situated on Chapel Street across the road from the Albert Dock. Being at the end of the Birkenhead tunnel there is easy access to this hotel from the M53 as long as you use the right tunnel. Failing that, the Albert Dock is signposted through most of the city...

Review of IFA Hotel Interclub Atlantic, Grand Canary

I recommend Virgin Atlantic

Advantages: Good value
Disadvantages: None

...I am a UK citizen living in the US. I have flown back and forth to the UK with virgin 6 six times in 4 years. I would not consider any other airline. I usually go straight to their website to book flights as I have never been able to find it cheaper using any other site like cheap tickets or expedia etc. One time when booking flights for my pregnant wife and i we asked for bulkhead seats for extra room. When we arrived at the airport to check in the staff at the check in counter were expecting us and gave us the best seats they could find. During the flight the cabin staff checked on my wife several times to make sure she was comfortable. The entertainment is good with up to date movies and you will never go hungry on a virgin atlantic flight. I would definitely recommend virgin atlantic...

What an Atlantic View!!!

Advantages: Reasonable prices. Clean. Friendly welcome. Good location
Disadvantages: None that I could think of

...This year we decided to have a short break during the May Day bank holiday weekend somewhere in the UK. We had always wanted to visit Pembrokeshire in the South West corner of Wales, and so decided to look up some places to stay in the area. As a result of our search, we decided to book 3 nights at a B&B called Atlantic View. The place itself is situated in Broad Haven, which lies 6 miles to the west of Havordfordwest. It is easy enough to get to although it does lie on a very narrow and steep hill, on a cliff overlooking the bay and beach in Broad Haven. It is personally run by Bob and Frances Crawford and comprises of 4 en suite double bedrooms, and 1 twin bedroom with a private bathroom. 2 of the bedrooms are downstairs which are ideal and accessible for disabled guests, and all rooms come with a colour television, hot drink making...

Review of Atlantic View B&B, Broadhaven, Pembrokeshire

A Paradise in the Atlantic Ocean!

Advantages: Beautiful setting
Disadvantages: Buffet dinner could be better

...Stepping off the plane at 21.00 hours in Ponta Delgada, on Sao Miguel in the Azores the humidity hit me. WOW. It was hot, I was tired and hadn't expected this level of humidity. Thankfully we quickly collected our cases and didn't have any passport control to queue in, as we had flown in from Lisbon. Our tour operator was waiting as we came into the arrival hall and whisked off to our destination. Twenty minutes and many bends and bumps later we turned a corner and saw a large hotel block, lit up and sparkling against the dark sky, standing beside the Atlantic ocean, with a high tree covered backdrop or should I say side drop! The long driveway through the gardens with lovely trees and flowers prepared us for the serene and calm entrance to this otherwise pink concrete block. There was a plaque saying when the hotel was opened...

Review of Suite Hotel Bahia Palace, Sao Miguel

Virgin Atlantic Upper Class.

Advantages: Friendly, Efficient
Disadvantages: None

...Ok, so I have always heard the hype of Virgin Atlantic. Lets face it, they are hard to miss when they are owned by Sir Richard Branson! I was off on holidays to Sydney and decided to treat myself to Upper Class. The day came and I had already arranged the Limo service through Virgin Atlantic. The Limo service I understand is only available on some Upper Class Tickets (i,.e the non discounted ones). The Limo arrived on time, just in time to hit the rush hour traffic in London. My friendly driver told me lots about what my experience over the next 24hours would involve....Spa treatments....excellent Inflight entertainment.....lovely crew.....modern aircraft! Fantastic. We arrived at London Heathrow Terminal three. Well Virgin Atlantics private part of T3. VAA have an area called drive through check in. As the Limo pulls up a lovely...

Review of Virgin Atlantic Airways - VIR

The new benchmark in Trans Atlantic flights

Advantages: Staff, service, amenities, modern planes
Disadvantages: Long check in queues

...Way back in 1993 I used Virgin Atlantic for a return flight to Boston from London Gatwick & was left very impressed. In 2006, we decided to have a fly/drive holiday in New England & use Virgin for the return flight to Boston from London Heathrow. Heathrow airport is a pain to use, but Virgin has become the preferred carrier across the Atlantic now that BA have lost the plot & it's a small price to pay if it means using a decent airline. The Virgin flights worked out at about £430 per passenger for economy, not the cheapest at the time but still cheaper than BA. The journey started in Scotland on a bright Saturday morning in September, the BA check in staff were their usual 'look at you as though you were dirt on their shoes'. I asked if our baggage could be sent directly through to our destination as most airlines now do. She asked...
