Paradise Island Hotel Nassua, Bahamas

Advantages: fantastic place to go
Disadvantages: none

...I was lucky enough to go to the Bahamas on holiday in April 2008. In our party there were 3 children and 3 adults. We arrived at the airport to be met by a limousine, we were driven to The Atlantis hotel on Paradise Island?wow what a place. We were able to have a good look round whilst in the Limo, the weather was beautiful and when we arrived at the Hotel, you could see why it was called Paradise!! The hotel was enormous; it had lots of different sections. There is the Royal Towers, Imperial club, Coral Towers, Beach Towers, The Cove Atlantis, The Reef Atlantis, Harbour side Resort, and Special. We stayed in the Coral towers. Our room was large with 2 double beds in. It had a full stocked bar, which was checked daily and re-stocked?..beware, very expensive! There was a large mirrored wardrobe and plenty of drawer space...

Review of Nassau (Bahamas)

  Flamboyant Nassau - Bahamas

Advantages: Paradise Island
Disadvantages: Staying Too Long

...? at Ardaska Gardens, Go horse riding on the beach early morning, Visit the caves in Lucayan National Park, once occupied by Indians but now home of nursing bats, Go to Paradise Island (4 miles long and ½ mile wide) with its 17 beaches and visit the magnificent Atlantis Hotel Aquarium http://atlantis.com/flash.aspx by either crossing the bridge or taking a ferry, Or a 25 minutes catamaran ride to Blue Lagoon Island (3 miles northeast of Paradise Island) www.dolphinencounters.com and swim with Bottlenose Dolphins; only snag here is you have to reserve months in advance).

MOOSES GUIDE TO THE BAHAMAS

Advantages: The Beaches, the year round climate, the people
Disadvantages: Long flights often stopping at other islands, quite expensive to eat, not good for vegetarians

...In July 2001, I went in search of THAT beach - you know the one – the white sands, crystal clear waters, palm trees, secluded – the one that appears in any brochure for the Caribbean. A few years ago I went in search for it in the Dominican Republic but came home disappointed. This time I struck lucky! Anyway before I rant on about the beaches I had better give you some background info! Basics --------- The Bahamas lie about 40 miles off the coast of Florida and consist of more than 750 islands – obviously most of these are tiny and uninhabited. The busiest island is that of New Providence, home to the capital; Nassau. I actually stayed on the island of Grand Bahama which is the second most popular destination in the Bahamas after Nassau. The flight from Gatwick direct to Freeport (the airport of the Grand...

Review of General: Bahamas

Bahama Mama

Advantages: beautiful place, good food
Disadvantages: not enough to do, expensive

...I was really looking forward to this holiday A week in Florida doing the tourist stuff and then a week relaxing in the Bahamas. OK, so I had an image in my mind of what it would be like - and I wasn't far wrong although in my opinion there were some downsides. The first thing that struck me was how laid back they are - to the point of being on the floor!!!!! Maybe it was a shock to the system just coming from Florida and more importantly living in London where everyone is rushing round like Road Runner!! We stayed at the Nassau Beach Hotel which is more of a "basic" hotel so they called it - but I thought it was more like 4 star. First of was to hit the beaches and I was amazed. This hotel has its own private beach - aaah lovely, I thought. Peace and quiet. Not a chance - within 2 minutes of settling down a lady came up "Hey...

Review of Nassau (Bahamas)

The Pussy in the Bahamas!

Advantages: Excellent scenery
Disadvantages: Had to come home!

...------------------------------------------------------------------ BACKGROUND ------------------------------------------------------------------ Cat Island is off the normal tourist trail of the Bahamas, one of the outer islands. It's populated, but seemingly only just, with around 1700 locals and not a large number of long-stay visitors or holiday makers. It's as close to the deserted island paradise as one is likely to find. It's a long and skinny spit of land (56 x 4 miles at the widest) with the highest point in the Bahamas, though still only 206 foot at its peak. Think of its shape as rather like a high fashion boot with a pointed toe. Just offshore along the sole of the boot, i.e. Southern side, runs a deep water trench with shallower water over the top of the toe and along the front. This deep trench makes for ideal...

Review of Cat Island (Bahamas)

Bahamas (Nassua)

Advantages: Friendly people, very relaxing
Disadvantages: Long flight

...I travelled to The Bahamas in October 2003. Ths was near the end of season but was part of a group travelling for a wedding. We stayed in a resort called Radison Golf Resort which was an all inclusive 5 * Hotel. Flying from the UK took around 9 hours and to be honest wasn't the most pleasant of journeys however you can't expect to travel half way around the world and enjoy every minute of it. I remember stepping of the plane and this furnace of heat just hitting me, i thought firstly that it was the engines of the aeroplane but it was th actual temperature. To depart the airport you have to complete a document so I MUST ADVISE take a pen unless you want to fight with 300 people over the two pens the airport staff had. We travelled to the Hotel and on entering were greeted by the most friendly of staff. Always smiling, always...

Review of Nassau (Bahamas)

Hotel International

Advantages: Location, breakfasts
Disadvantages: Poor rooms

...I recently went on a cultural girlie trip with a friend to Paris. I was left to do all the booking. I was looking for a reasonable hotel, near a metro stop, which included breakfast. I came across the Hotel International on various travel sites and it seemed fairly highly rated so I booked us in for three nights. LOCATION: The hotel is located 6 Rue Auguste Barbier in the 11th Arrondissement. The nearest Metro stop is Garcourt which was a two minute walk away and it was a five minute walk to Republique which gives good links to other lines. It's not really central enough to avoid the Metro and walk to the attractions but it was located so close to a stop that it seemed ideal. PRICE: Prices vary depending on size of room and season. There are singles, doubles and triples available. We paid Euro254 for the whole time...

Review of Hotel International, Paris

The Strand Palace Hotel

Advantages: Central location, clean
Disadvantages: Food, rooms

...We stayed at this hotel in London a little over a month ago now for two nights, we chose this hotel mainly because of the central location and because it was only a ten minuite walk from the show we had booked to go too. Check in was very quick - About ten minuites and the staff at the reception seemed very friendly. My first thoughts on the hotel was that it looked really clean and that it was nicely decorated and it looked modern. I was a little dissapointed with our room as it was very small and basic, our room had a double bed, tea and coffee making facilities, a tv with satellite and a small, basic en suite bathroom with a shower. The views from our room very very poor - A block of offices which made our room dark as they were so close. The hotel has two bars and two resturaunts, the bars were again nicely decorated...

Review of The Strand Palace Hotel, London

sachas hotel

Advantages: good price,great location
Disadvantages: no window

...****Sachas hotel- Manchester**** I booked this hotel last minute as i had a job interview in Manchester and needed somewhere quite cheap ,that was also near the centre. **Location/Getting there** This hotel is located in Tibb street which is a 2 minute walk from Piccadily Gardens or 10 minutes away from Chorlton street bus station.The Train station is a little bit further away say maybe a twenty minute walk but i don't think that this is that bad .You can also get a tram from Piccadily gardens and this goes to quite a few places.You could also get a taxi to the hotel but i am not sure what parking is like if you were to take your own car. **Reception/staff** Since i had never been to Manchester before i phoned and asked the staff for directions -they were very nice and helped me out.When i got there i think i got the same...

Review of Britannia Sachas Hotel, Manchester

Fantastic Hotel

Advantages: Fantastic Food
Disadvantages: Lifts are quite small

...When we decided to make a return trip to Benalmedina we opted to go to the four star Hotel Las Arenas as it was recommended by friends. It is slightly further out just opposite the Castle Bill Bill and when you cross the road it?s a flat walk all the way to the marina which is away from the large hills on which many of the other hotels are located. Reception On arrival check in was swift and at this time we opted to pay for a safety deposit box we were then handed the safe key and card key to room 524 and pointed in the direction of the lifts. On looking round reception it was laid out with tables and chairs and also had a grand piano, a small bar ,toilets and computers with internet access. There is a large board telling you about entertainment available during the day and at night. The whole area was laid out for wheelchair access...
