Cooler Master Cosmos S - Review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing

...First of all the Cosmos S case comes in excellent protective packaging. A sturdy cardboard outer box encases two styrofoam blocks (top & bottom) which prevent the case from moving at all during transportation. The case is wrapped inside of a plastic bag, and then again, inside Cooler Master's own fabric bag which is brown in colour and is strong enough to retain and use in the future whenever the case needs covering. It's the little extra's and attention to detail that makes a lot of difference in my opinion. If first impression's are anything to go by, then this case ticks all the boxes. It's huge, beautiful and demands the attention of any passer by, whether they are interested in computers or not! Along with the case comes a plastic bag containing all of the necessary bits and pieces to assemble the case and control the cable...

Review of Cooler Master Cosmos S

Sun,Sea and Cosmos

Advantages: Trouble free holiday
Disadvantages: To much hard selling of trips

...After reading various ops on tour operators and their terrible service I felt I had to put fingers to keyboard and tell you all about my experience with Cosmos in Gran Canaria. To be honest, tour operators seem to have quite a bad reputation in general but I am pleased to say that I was pleasantly surprised by Cosmos. We arrived at Las Palmas airport and were met by the first Rep who directed us to our bus and welcomed us to the island. The half hour journey to the apartments was entertaining enough with Rep number 2 giving us a brief but jolly account of some of the things to see and do at the resorts and also a few plugs for Cosmos’s organised excursions. We were also handed welcome packs which gave information on nearest medical centres, emergency contact numbers and details of the welcome meeting the following day. Our...

Cosmos Maris - a perfect getaway

Advantages: Pretty much everything!
Disadvantages: Maybe a little out of the way for some people.

...compared to the meals we had in Lardos, costing three times the price and being nowhere near as enjoyable! Overall the Cosmos Maris is a special place to go on holiday, in a perfect setting with a warm welcome and a family feel. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a relaxing break....

Review of Cosmos Maris, Rhodes

Cosmos for the best holiday

Advantages: Great value, great service, lovely reps
Disadvantages: none

...I have to say, that of all the tour operators I’ve ever used (and there have been a few), Cosmos is definitely the best. Their service is second to none, and I now go out of my way to try and book my holidays with them. When we booked our holiday to Tunisia last year, we found a “palatial” 4 star hotel in the Cosmos brochure for less than half the price that Airtours were offering (we booked out of the brochure, not last minute). We arrived amid problems caused by the airline (JMC), to find two wonderful reps waiting for us at the gate. They very quickly arranged to pick up our daughters pushchair (which JMC had left at Manchester airport) when it arrived on a later flight. One of the reps then took our luggage trolley for us, while the other took our daughter, to allow us to catch our breath. Once...

Review of Cosmos

cosmos on the nile

Advantages: everything
Disadvantages: not a lot

...We booked with Cosmos when we did our 4th visit to Egypt,and I have to say it was the best visit we had.Price wise there wasnt a great deal of difference to any other visit[about £580 per person]but there was much more for our money as far as tours were concerned.We like to do a week on the Nile and a week in Luxor and all packages usually include 10 guided tours whilst on the cruise,but Cosmos went that little bit extra .Anormal part of a cruise is a felluca sail in Aswan round Kitcheners Island and a visit to the High Dam,but this time we were taken onto the island to spend time in the beautiful botanic gardens,which were amazing.We had plenty of time to see every thing and get a cool drink and a bite to eat,and our visit to the dam also included a stop to see the quarry where the unfinished obelisk is.We were so glad to have...

Poor Cosmos Service in The Gambia

Advantages: None--totally useless.
Disadvantages: Curt, only interested in selling trips. Totally uninterested in customers.

...Our Cosmos Rep in The Gambia was the most useless I've ever met. Introduction Meeting? He didn't hold one--bit swore to us he did--err, I was there--you were just selling a trip to group of guys! Polite manner? He didn't have one. Ability to give information? Did he know anything? Didn't seem to. Our room had only cold water in a basin, no working shower and broken fittings, we wanted to change rooms. His solution? I can take you to another hotel--you pay me the brochure price difference. When I said that was not acceptable, he told me to see than hotel manage and sort ot out myself. On our final day we were delivered to the airport at 11 a.m, told to check in and go through security--even though the Rep knew our plane had not even left England! We were left for 9 hours with a "meal voucher" that bought one sandwich--no drink...

Cosmopolitian Europe!

Advantages: seen lots in a short space of time
Disadvantages: was expensive

...Cosmos - Cosmopolitan Europe For my honeymoon my husband and I decided to do a tour of Europe. I didn't want to fly as I had a very bad experience on my GAP year after a flight and wanted to be relaxed at all times on our honeymoon. After long hours searching on the internet we decided to book a Cosmos Tour called Cosmopolitan Europe. It lasted 14 nights and 15 days and would start in London and end there too. Booking with Cosmos was easy enough once we got speaking to the right person. We had tried to book online but there were problems and it held our booking and as we had taken the last 2 seats when we tried to book it again it said it was unavailable, I was devastated! So I rang them and they said the tour was cancelled as not enough people were going on it. After I came off the call I thought 'no that can't be right' so I...

Cosmos-it's out of this world?

Advantages: fairly cheap, good food, all you can eat, good atmosphere
Disadvantages: you only get a two hour sitting and there's nowhere to enjoy a nice drink afterwards.

...Cosmos is a large, spacious, modern restaurant set on the corner of 'Disneyland' (a row of clubs and food restaurants at the bottom of Swindon Town Centre). So straight away, this restaurant gets a lot of attention as it's close to all of the ammenities, and the local bus and train stations. As if that wasn't enough, the place has a wonderful atmosphere with everyone chatting and eating and letting the alcohol flow. As well as the fact that this restaurant boasts a mouth-watering, original chinese food buffet, all for the simple price of £12 per adult, and £6 per child. Whether or not your child is actually half price depends on their height, the limit stands at a little under 5 foot I believe. The service provided to show you to your table is quick (though I'd recommend booking, it does get busy!). And from the moment you sit down...

Review of Cosmos Chinese Buffet Restaurant, Swindon

Nice Holiday, shame about cosmos

Advantages: Good range of Family type holidays
Disadvantages: Poor customer care and misleading information

...I recently travelled with cosmos to Falaraki in Rhodes and was some what disapointed. We booked for a young and lively resort and went with cosmos because of the deal they had. Due to the fact my parner is 6ft5 we were advised when booking to get to the airport early to be given seats with extra legroom. When we arived at the airport they told us we could only get them if we paid extra £15 per person each way which we could not afford to do, so wasted our time rushing to get to the airport. On arriving in resort the transfer rep was nice and helpful. Our welcome meeting was at 1.30 but as we did not arrive until 7.30 am we did not attend this due to needing sleep after being cramped on the plane. When we met our rep he gave us the info we needed but didn't put any pressure on us. The appartments were very nice except...

Review of Cosmos

iPhone 3G S will have you stunned!

Advantages: It's advanced technology and huge variety of features.
Disadvantages: The very low and quickly decreasing battery life.

...The iPhone 3G S is an amazing piece of palm-sized technology. It has everything you could possibly ask of a mobile phone (except Blue-tooth data exchange), and much more! I was shocked at it's ease of use considering its a smart phone! However, although it does have a few new features from its predecessor, the iPhone 3G, but it didn't seem as much of a technological breakthrough considering the transition of the original iPhone to the iPhone 3G, which is one of the reasons I gave it 4, and not 5 stars. First of all, there is the biggest thing about the iPhone 3G S, is the addition if the S to the title. It stands for speed, and they're not lying. I compared my friends iPhone 3G to my iPhone 3G S, and I noticed how much quicker internet pages load, applications load up, and even basic things like sending a text (which may have been due...
