'Superclubs' Breezes Punta Cana.

Advantages: 'Some' Staff
Disadvantages: Do You Want The List?

...to the boredom. Entertainment here was a proper let down! Overall this was a poor holiday especially with the amount of money Thomson charge for coming to this property, Staff are ignorant and rude and also the general Breezes holiday experience was appauling, i will never return to a Breezes hotel again or one of their partners after this experience. As i have said this was my third time to the Dominican republic and it has put me off completely, however i did enjoy my two other holidays here at the Occidental Allegro Punta cana (Carribbean village) Bavaro, and also the Clubhotel Riu Bachata (Puerto Plata/bahia De Maimon). I hope this helps you!...

Review of Breezes Punta Cana Resort Spa & Casino, Punta Cana

The Town of Es Caná in Ibiza

Advantages: Hot, relaxing, sunny, clear water, lots to do
Disadvantages: Can't think of any

...Es Caná is a family resort on the East side of the island of Ibiza. It is about 30 minutes drive from the airport which is located in the South of the island near to the Capital of Ibiza Town. Es Caná has a beautiful crescent beach where there are no stones or pebbles, just lovely soft sand. The water is very clear and you can walk out quite far before it becomes too deep. There is a small harbour for fishing boats and a ferry which takes tourists to Ibiza Town, Santa Eulalia or even the nearby smaller island of Formentera. Es Caná is very popular and there are a good amount of hotels and apartments to choose from. When I went this summer I stayed at the Hotel Marina Panorama which is opposite the harbour. This hotel is a Thomson Gold Hotel which means that they do not except anyone under the age of 16. There are many restaurants...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

Hotel Caribe, Es Cana, Ibiza

Advantages: Lots to do, Clean, Nice food
Disadvantages: Higher prices now!

...a bloke who was lying on a bed of nails and walking on glass one night which my younger children didnt like. The animation team were good during the day and organised football, shooting and darts games amongst other things. The bar prices were reasonable, would be a good AI hotel. Food was very nice, also was hot! although it did have the usual chips and nuggets, it also had fish, meat dishes and plenty of salads and veggies changed nightly. The desserts were gorgeous and the breakfasts were very good too. I have an awkward teenage eater and he found plenty fo things to eat. Only one grumble at breakfast, not enough yogurts!!!! The hotel itself is right in the middle of the resort of Es Cana and there was a fair with rides and trampolines for the kids and the beach was just a short walk away. Es Cana is a lovely place. If you want to go...

Review of Caribe Ibiza Hotel, Ibiza

Paradise aka. Punta Cana

Advantages: Tropical Paradise
Disadvantages: Obvious poverty of the locals

...speaking Canadians and German than anything else (and Spanish/South American)but everyone seems very friendly and the kids get along regardless of the language barrier. We went on an excellent trip to the shipwreck just off the coast. Then returned by Catamaran. A really good half day out with plenty of Rum & Coke all day long if you want it! Booked at the kiosk by the hotel pool, quite a bit cheaper than the tour operators' prices. I think it cost about US$45 each. Whether you fancy playing in the waves, relax under a swaying palm or something a little more energetic. Punta Cana has one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean. These white sand beaches are perfect for those who love to enjoy their favourite watersport, (See below). There are plenty of sunbeds and parasols located on the beach but you may have to unofficially...

Review of Zodiac Apartments, Es Cana

OLE, HOLA!

Advantages: location, views, service
Disadvantages: can't think of one!

...I have visited this hotel 4 times in total and it just gets better and better every time. For starters the big circular pool over looks the jade green sea and the smaller cala nova beach. The hotel has an outdoor snack bar and pool bar which serves food and drink and an entertainment stage for during the peak months. The entertainment is great and geared at all ages - the off peak months you will find the older generations at this hotel and peak months a mixture of all ages! Food is on a half board basis but you can upgrade to an all inclusive wrist band for all of your drinks including alcohol at 7 euros each per day (min 7 days). Food is superb with a massive variety. If you go say hello to Paco and Gonzalez! Ideally located a 10 minute walk from Es Cana centre....

Review of Fiesta Hotel Cala Nova, Ibiza

cheap booze

Advantages: cheap nice
Disadvantages: none

...**** Strongbow **** I met up with my friends a few weeks back to find them drinking strongbow. Now cider is something i haven't had to drink since i was about 13 years old so i was a little skeptical when my friends said that it tasted nice-that's not the way i remembered cider. ** The product ** Strongbow can be bought in either bottles or cans ( 440ml or 500ml ) .There are also different types such as one that is ment to taste like summer fruits. It tastes best when it is served cold-i left a can out and you can taste the difference when its not chilled.The product itself tastes quite fizzy and you are left with an bittersweet apple taste.I think that this tastes lovely, i love apples. **Appearance** Cant say anything about this as it didn't make it out the can!!!As you can tell I'm a really classy lady. Overall i was...

Review of Bulmers Strongbow

premium seating not what it seems

Advantages: extra luggage allowance
Disadvantages: its thomsons

...as you can guess this is a complaint about being let down by thomson and the tour operator that books the holiday that you expect. Onboarding the thomson aircraft bound for punta cana in the dominican (who we were told would be first choice) you can imagine my horror knowing full well we had been duped. the alledged 36 inch seat pitch we had paid for was now 31 inch, 33 inch if i was being generous. as i measured the seating with a tape,( as we have been misled before).From my experience in the past ,flying with thomson does not compare with first choice, and to find they have now merged leaves me in a quandary as to whether or not to book any further holidays long haul, if it means flying on a thomson aircraft, as i would sooner walk bare foot over hot coals. Thomson in my opinion are the worst company i have ever booked an holiday...

Review of Thomson Premium Economy Seats

Everyone must have one of these experiences!

Advantages: Life changing experiences
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I could go to was Domincain Republic. Dominican Republic - in the CARIBBEAN! Of course I was going to choose to go there and I thought why not do 12 weeks! So thats what i did. I paid my deposit and was sent an information pack, which included an i-to-i t-shirt and loads of advice and tips. I was told I needed certain vaccinations, so I got those sorted and got my malaria tablets. So, came the 1st May and I arrived in the DR, there was a guy holding my name up. I have never had this before. Before you know it, I was in the drivers car and I arrived at the guest house. This is where all of the other volunteers in Santo Domingo stayed. These volunteers all taught english to the local school and orphange. I went one day with them and was totally smitten. I was based in Punta Cana (4 hours coach away), which I travelled to after 3 days in...
