Hotel Cala n Blanes - Cala n Blanes ,FIRST CHOICE

Advantages: MENORCA A LOVELY PLACE TO VISIT
Disadvantages: HOTEL A LITTLE DISSAPOINTING

...Having viewed this site prior to booking our holiday I decided that there's only one way really to find out, and that's to go!! Everyone's tastes and standards are different so read reviews but ultimately what is fantastic for one family may be a disappointment for another. Hotel; Very clean however VERY basic bedrooms, ours had a prison type metal bunk bed at the foot of two singles put together, reminisant from a scene of Porridge!!!! The whole hotel has either tiled or marble floors which was VERY noisy,even a fairy in slippers would have sounded like a herd of buffalo stampeding across the Sarangeti !! Had the rooms had carpets then this would of deadened some of the noise. Unfortunately our room was next to the stairwell so we heard all and sundry coming and going, and to add insult we overlooked the tarmac carpark rather...

Cala N Bosch- Menorca

Advantages: Great sights, lovely weather, fantastic location
Disadvantages: None

...Hi there! I have just returned back today from Menorca, and had such a fantastic time, I wanted to share my experience in case anyone is looking for a brilliant holiday in the near future. Myself and my partner arrived in Mahon (the recently made capital of Menorca) on 4th May 2007. We were travelling with Thomas Cook, and had booked a week in the Valentin Star Hotel (4*) located in Cala N Bosch on the South west Coast of Menorca. We had booked half board, which also included in flight meals. Booking about 6 months in advance, and booking online via the internet, the entire package for 2 of us cost the bargain price of under £500! I believe we saved about £400 by booking online. Transfers were also included, and all in all, the service was quick, efficient, and with friendly staff. Environment: Menorca is noted for its...

Review of Menorca (Spain)

La Cala Hotel

Advantages: Close to the shops
Disadvantages: In the centre of town

...This hotel is great if you want to be handy for all the local shops, It is located in the center of town, which can make it noisy depending on which side of the hotel your room is. The hotel itself had 180 rooms, every room has a balcony which either overlooks the swimming pool, or the street. When i stayed at this hotel in September 05 we had a room which overlooked the pool, and it was very quiet. On entering the hotel you will notice that it has recently been renovated, it has seperate areas within the reception area, you can sit in the large reception area and have a drink at the bar, or go into the large entertainment area, which has various artists performing on an evening, there is also a small area that is used when you want to read a paper or use the telephone, there is a reasonable sized...

Review of Invisa Hotel La Cala, Ibiza

Kids, Kids and loads of family fun!

Advantages: Great For Families and Kids
Disadvantages: Decor & maybe not suitable for couples

...The hotel Cala n Bosch is situated in the resort of Cala n Bosch which also happens to be the furthest resort that you could possibly get to from Mahon Airport. The hotel itself towers above Cala n Bosch and can be seen as you drive down the main road that comes from Ciutadella approaching the resort. Transfer times could be 1 hour to 1 hour 30 depending on time of day or if you have other stops. The resort of Cala n Bosch is set around a pleasant, relaxing and friendly man-made marina with an abundance of shops, restaurants and cafés. It also features a kiddies play area called the Goodie Goodie restaurant which is packed with fun and activities for kids and teenagers. From a room at the front of the hotel (main entrance side) you will get fantastic views of the marina and the surrounding areas and a sea view. The other side...

Review of Cala'n Bosch Hotel, Minorca

Cala Vinas Hotel - a good safe holiday

Advantages: Right on the sea front, lots of activities, relaxing and sun!
Disadvantages: There is not alot near by really

...As a brief summary, the Hotel was easily worth its four stars for the rooms, pool, food and entertainment! Now read on if you wish to know more! At the beginning of August my girlfriend set off on our Holiday to Mallorca from Luton Airport, rather early in the morning - and arrived at the Hotel approximately 5 hours later. This was mainly due to the efficiency which we experienced at the airport and the private taxi that had been booked for us through our agency! It took approximately 20/30 minutes from the airport to the Hotel. The Hotel - When we walked down the sets into the well airconditioned reception it all seemed very welcome and there was a nice mixture of both Spanish and English people who were on the Sofas. Being all inclusive we picked up our bands and headed onto our rooms. We had a bit of confusion trying to...

Hotel Samoa - Calas De Mallorca

Advantages: Friendly staff, balcony, nice views
Disadvantages: Out of the way, small, noisy rooms

...I have just got back from a weeks holiday in Majorca. Where, as you may have guessed, I stayed in the Hotel Samoa. The room itself is very average. It was medium sized with a double bed, wardrobe, television and a bathroom. The bed was a bit unusual - it was actually two normal beds pushed together. This was somewhat alarming on the first night when me and my boyfriend repeatedly rolled into the middle and had it collapse underneath us. Yes, it doesn't just fall apart slowly - if you go near the middle and dumps you on the floor, which is horrifying the first time! The bed covers feel somewhat like shower curtains, but once you get used to them and train your body to stay on one side it's fine. The TV is free, you can pay for a remote but really you can do it by yourself by getting up easily enough. It has two english channels...

Review of Hotel Samoa, Majorca

Barcelo Cala Vinas a scenic place to please us?

Advantages: Immaculate hotel, great entertainment team, lovely location and superb food.
Disadvantages: Remoteish location, lacking room facilities and the damn bingo!

...We had been looking forward to our holiday to Mallorca for such a long time we thought it was never going to arrive. After a hard year full of ups and downs we were more than ready for the break and had built up the trip into something that had to be the perfect getaway. Of course, a vital part of our holiday would be how good the hotel was so it is with some trepidation that we arrived at the Barcelo Cala Vinas on June 14th 2008. Booked through Thomas Cook the Barcelo Cala Vinas is part of a chain. The hotel is situated in the quite and serene area of Cala Vinyes, Calvia. Somewhat off the beaten track, the hotel is situated twenty minutes walk from Magalluf and is just over an hour via coach transfer from Palma airport. Overlooking a beautiful little cove, the hotel is one of few tourist properties in the area with only the Cala...

Review of Barcelo Cala Vinas, Calvia

One of the best hotels

Advantages: Family Hotel Great adult and Kids enertainment, pool and next to 2 beaches. everything youll ever
Disadvantages: NONE!

...fish with a fresh whole salmon as a fantastic centre piece for you to take what you want off! There is plenty to choose from! If you decide not to eat in the restuarant then there are plenty of nice eateries close by, the public resturant of the hotel is downstairs on the front and offers a very good meal at amazing prices. there is also a restuarant called Yates on the walk towards Cala Bona (walking with the sea to your right). Another fine diner is in the same direction called Snoddys bar. these places are great and well priced. On at the harbour i would also recommened The Rope and Anchor. likewise there are nice places to eat in the other direction towards Cala Millor. If you walk around and the ones that look nice are! all of them! Thompson do most of the package holidays here and my brother in law just paid £415 for a week bed...

Review of Hotel Talayot, Cala Millor

Splish splosh, its a Bosch

Advantages: Low noise
Disadvantages: Cutlery compartment is a bit inflexible and bendy

...Introduction Personally, the invention of the dishwasher has been one of the greatest inventions of recent times. As both myself and my wife work, we need to maximize the quality time we get together. What better way to accomplish this than to shove all the pots and pans into a dishwasher, forget about it for a couple of hours and then put them all away when dry. For some reason we seem to have got through dishwashers like there was no tomorrow (the handle broke on one and the motor went kaput on the second) so when we chose our current dishwasher, we studied reviews on reliability as well as performance and the Bosch came out on top. Tour of the Dishwasher Outside The dishwasher has a white metal door, with a white plastic control panel. On the control panel are the power button, the programme dial and 3...

Review of Bosch SGV46M03GB

great phone, hopefully better than n96

Advantages: great screen, camera, storage
Disadvantages: cost

...hey guys! this phone is great. no two ways about it. havent personally heard of any problems occurring with software, which happened quite quickly with the original n95 and the n96, so hopefully this is getting better. STORAGE the phone itself comes complete with 32GB of storage, a massive amount for a phone, with the iphone only offering a 16GB max. also ,the N97 has expandable storage of an extra 16GB, so thats a massive 48GB in total! plenty of space for movies (which you can watch) tv shows, music photos etc. DISPLAY 3.5inch screen which has a handy little tilt in it, so you can actually set it flat on a table and still use the keypad, much like a teeny weeny laptop, or you can watch your movies etc like that. 16m colours so very high quality. FEATURES ok, the phone has a 5mp camera, which is pretty good as...
