Kololi Beach Club and surround

Advantages: Great place.
Disadvantages: Watch for how you part with your cash.

...I have stayed at this hotel now on two occasions and would go again any time. Its a pretty basic hotel but comfortable and the staff are very friendly and take great pride in there work, especially it has to be said, the cleaning staff. Mind you, the pool cleaner does seem to take an age as well, wonder if he is on an hourly rate? Definately would advise hiring a fridge for your room from the hotel. My only bad thing to say about the hotel is the driveway. Not bad at first but it is quite a trek after a few days. Access to the beach is straight off the hotel grounds. Not so many bumsters this year.( A quick guide to them after ). I've always found the weather to be great in November/December. Hot during the day and comfortable at night. As for Kololi. The restauarants basically are selling the same deal in food or drink...

Baja Beach Club - The Club Of Fun

Advantages: Cheesy, Fun, Nice Vibes
Disadvantages: None

...I have lived in Newcastle all my life and everyone keeps saying that Newcastle is the clubbin capital of teh UK etc etc. Didnt believe htat - all teh clubs were the same. Then along comes the Baja Beach Club (pronounced Baha). At first it was an "exclusive, place to be" nightclub, now everyone goes, and its that popular you WILL have to que for anywhere upto 30 mins just to get in - but once you are in, let the fun begin! The best way to describe Baja would be "Cheesy". Its full of 80's music and you wont be surprised to hear "I Think Were Alone Now" by Tiffany, "Never Give You Up" by Rick AStley etc etc. Yeah, your chringin now, but when you are there there is nothin better. Baja is not for the uptight, stuck up clubbers, its for ppl who could not give a F*** and are simply out to enjoy themselves. The staff are friendly...

Champagne and camel rides at Cable Beach Resort

Advantages: Beautifully landscaped grounds, high quality accommodation
Disadvantages: Need a GPS to find your room

...I was looking forward to my stay at plush four star Cable Beach Club Resort in Broome, Western Australia. According to their advertising material, I could expect Asian serenity and Colonial Indulgence. It sounded great and friends had recommended it as a very pleasant place to stay. In total, I spent three nights here. Because it was included in a coach tour package that I'd booked, I didn't make a booking specifically for the hotel itself. However let it be said that the room rates vary. I saw one website (discoverwest.com.au) which was offering rooms from $A155 (incl breakfast) plus a free camel ride, but other quotes elsewhere were much more than this. The hotel runs a shuttle bus to Broome Airport to greet tired travellers. Or you can get a taxi to the resort ($10). First impressions of the resort were favourable. A porter...

Peppers Beach - Expensive, but you do get what you pay for.

Advantages: Very high quality, very modern, clean, beautiful hotel!
Disadvantages: Cost

...WHAT, WHERE, WHY AND WHEN: My husband and myself stayed in the Peppers Beach Resort and Spa in June 2008 for a week. We were getting married at St Mary's by the Sea which was very close to the hotel and obviously with it being our wedding we wanted something quite luxurious for that week. We entrusted our wedding planner with the bookings and she certainly didn't dissapoint. THE ROOM We stayed in a room with pool view, which was more like a brand new modern apartment. It had a living room area with sofa's and a large plasma television. This room looked out onto one of our balconies that had a BBQ (Well it wouldn't be a true Australian holiday without one would it!) We had fully equipped kitchen are with oven, hob, fidge/freezer and all the utensils you could ever need. The bedroom had a kingsize bed and another plasma...

Bondi Beach

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...BONDI Bondi beach is perhaps the most famous beach in Australia if not the World. The glowing white sand, the cool breeze from the sea and the glorious whether make it one of the greatest tourist?s attractions in Australia. Everyone will tell you if you are in Sydney you have to go to Bondi Beach, and they are right, Bondi is one of the best experiences a tourist can have. History: Bondi Beach is located in the Area of Bondi, which is in Vaucluse, Sydney with an area population of about 10,000. Bondi which is originally an Aboriginal word means ?water breaking over rocks or noise of water breaking over rocks?. Between 1855 and 1877 the area was under private ownership and it was used to allow people to come and use the area as a leisure ground and picnic spot. Eventually the area of Bondi and the beach was taken over by...

On The Beach

Advantages: Sensual guitar solos's ; Good lyrical craftsmanship ; A good folk rock offering
Disadvantages: Some may find certain songs depressing ; Not as good as Young's pervious three iconic albums ; Not much in the way of linear notes

...one of the best live albums ever created. Then my curiosity took me into the weird and wonderful 'On the beach' lp. Neil Percival Young was born on November 12th, 1945 in Toronto, Canada. His father was a great talent himself a sportswriter and novelist. He spent the majority of his youth in a small town called Omemee, which he later wrote his hit song 'helpless' on. Tragically when he was six years old he caught a bad case of polio which weakened the left side of his body badly, he still walks with a limp as a result. His parents divorced when he was 12 and he moved back to Winnipeg with his mother and attended the local high school. He played in a variety of local rock outfits before befriending fellow folk stars Joni Mitchell and Steven Stills. He had fair success with a band called 'The buffalo Springfield' which projected...

A Real Peach of a Beach!!

Advantages: A beautiful clean beach with something for everyone!
Disadvantages: It's so far away!!

...if it had just opened. At the end of the 18 holes there is a small covered area with drinks machines and a few tables and chairs. We played here both during the day and at night but did find the day time game just too hot. Both times it took us about 1 ½ hours to complete the course and during the day time we did find the sun just a bit too intense, I think I preferred the night time game. Both times however we were able to watch lizards running around, which we all really enjoyed as well. For the 4 of us, 2 adults and 2 children we were 15euros, which we felt was a bit expensive at first, but once we had seen and played the crazy golf and the length of time it took us we all agreed it was well worth the money. There is the Amadores Beach Club also situated beside the car park where you can go to use the sauna and solarium...

Review of Amadores Beach, Gran Canaria

Avonmouth Beach

Advantages: Easy parking, right on the beach, enough to keep you occupied all day.
Disadvantages: Seaweed

...are not brilliant and neither is the entertainment, its bearable especially after a few vodka's. The children enjoy it so that's the main priority for me. Facilities include Chalet Hire, Food Shop as mentioned, Launderette, Telephone, Licensed Club, Restaurant/Cafe, Games Room, Child Play Area, Outdoor Pool, Wheelchair access, No Dogs, Fishing Available, Sailing and mini Golf Course. Tel: 01425 274584 Prices start around £100 per person depending on which caravan you book and what season you go in. If you are not on a budget, then the Avonmouth Beach Hotel is superb. With stunning views across Christchurch Harbour I believe this must be one of the finest Hotels in Dorset. With its comfortable soft furnishings, chandelier and feature fireplace this 1930's built hotel maintains its high standards. The bedrooms are...

Review of Avonmouth Beach

Don't..."Take Me To My Beach"

Advantages: A good story
Disadvantages: Dated, DiCaprio, some unpleasant scenes

...The Beach was released in 2000, adapted from the novel by Alex Garland by the team of director Danny Boyle and screenwriter John Hodge. This is a film that I saw when it came out, at the cinema I believe, I have seen it once since then, and I watched it again just a few weeks ago. The Beach stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Richard, a young American who travels to Thailand seeking adventure and escape. Once there, he meets a French couple, Étienne and Francoise, and after he is given a map to a legendary paradise-like beach, they set off on an adventure to find it. Needless to say, they do, and find the community who live there. They have a positively idyllic time for a while, and then things start to unravel. The story of The Beach is uplifting, shocking, horrifying and hilarious. I have never read the book, nor anything else by Alex...

Review of The Beach (DVD)

Life's a Beach!

Advantages: tense thrilling read
Disadvantages: none

...'Beach Road' is one of James Patterson's latest offerings (written in collaboration with Peter De Jonge) and like all of his novels it is a tense psychological thriller! Unlike many of his novels which tend to be part of a series (like the Alex Cross series and The Women's Muder Club) this novel is a 'one off' and as a consequence introduces a whole new batch of characters! It is actually quite unusual at the beginning because, a bit like a play, it introduces all the characters in order of appearance. More about these later but before that I will give a brief outline of the plot without giving anything away! The novel is set in a very affluent area of the Hamptons in an area called Beach Road. Very near the beginning three young white men are murdered, execution style, in the grounds of one of The Beach Road homes. Before long...
