Very Good Value For Money Lloret De Mar

Advantages: Big pool,Good Drink,nice hotel,pleasant staff,excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Awful Food

...We stayed here for 6 nights in Febuary of this year (2008) and found it to be very good value for money, and the weather was surprisingly good which was an added bonus. It was a last minute cheap gettaway I had already booked the flights with Ryanair and not decided where we were going to stay exactly, and then we decided to try lloret. We chose The Royal Beach because it was very resonably priced (£208 for 6 nights all - inclusive for two people) and it had fairly good reviews. One mistake I did make though was I had booked the hotel and flights seperate and didn't bother with transfers we just got a taxi from Girona airport to resort, this was easy enough to do but cost 50 euros each way. I found out when we got home I could have booked a transfer both ways for about £25 so could have saved quite a bit of money there...

Paradis Park Hotel - Definitely NOT paradise!!!!

Advantages: Able to get it last minute, nice surrounding area
Disadvantages: Food, Staff, Price, Other guests, the room....... everything else

...It was pure chance that we stayed at the Paradis Park Hotel in Pineda De Mar. Whilst looking for a cheap and cheerful last minute deal to get some sun I spotted a package to the Calella Palace Hotel through Teletext holidays online. After a bit of research the decision was made to book it, however, the dates we wanted weren't available. We were offered an allocation on arrival for the same price, or for an extra £45 each we could have an alternative named hotel of the same rating. Being unadventurous I opted for the latter and was given the choice of the Alexis Hotel (I had previously read reviews all of which were bad) and the Paradis Park Hotel. I accepted the Paradis Park (as recommended by Sun4U Limtied, the tour operator) and after it had all been booked up we discovered that the Paradis Park was a 3 star, whereas the Calella...

Camp De Mar and The Hotel Villa Real

Advantages: Inexpensive to get to from UK, fab scenery, great food and lots of sunshine!
Disadvantages: Crowded beach and limited amenities in resort

...mainly Brtish and seemed to consist of families and couples like ourselves. There was never a bun fight for the sun loungers beside the pool and there was always plenty of room for everyone. Infact compared to the larger hotels at the resort ours certainly had the upper hand in that respect. The accomodation itself was very comfortable and exceptionally clean, if basic: each double room had twin beds and its own balcony. We were booked in on a bed and breakfast rate and I have to stay I've never been quite so spoilt for choice at breakfast times, there were: rolls, cold meats, cheese, tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, melon, fresh fruit, cereal, pastries, biscuits and much more .The breakfast was continental but there was something to suit even the most picky of eaters. Camp De Mar is a very small resort - popular with well heeled European...

Hotel Clumba Mar - Not The Best So Far

Advantages: In a nice resort, quietish area, basic but clean and comfortable.
Disadvantages: The evening meals were poor

...Our family group of 7, myself, my husband, our son (aged 8), my parents, sister and niece (aged 10) booked between us three rooms for two weeks at the 3 star Hotel Clumba Mar in Ca'n Picafort, in the North East of Majorca for the last two weeks of June 06. We chose this hotel because we liked the description of both the hotel and the resort in the Thompson's Sky Tours brochure as being quiet and family friendly as we were looking for a relaxing break and hoping to avoid being kept awake by local nightlife. We also got an excellent deal at the time of booking in January paying just under £1000 2 weeks half board for myself and my husband with our son getting a 'kids go free' place. Our experience of the Clumba Mar and its facilities: Arrival: We arrived shortly after 9pm and checked in. As we requested our rooms were...

Malgrat De Mar

Advantages: great for walks and very friendly.....
Disadvantages: getting used ot the coastal railway, very close to it...

..., its quieter than Malgrat, but its more of a place where you book your hotel and go to the beach, the shops are very limited, however you do have market stalls at night and the resort is closer to Burger King! Lol. If you wish to go, you can book a hotel and book a flight to Barcelona. If you fly to Barcelona, you can catch the train to Malgrat, however you have to switch once, we changed at Badalona ( not a resort, it's a Spanish town, pretty cool, stayed there once with aunty, too Spanish though lol). The train takes around an hour to get to Malgrat but its nice as you get to see the other resorts, but beware, close your eyes! Lol??. There's a few nudist beach's along the way??. Overall, I really enjoyed Malgrat de mar, there's plenty to do, and in two weeks you would of seen everything, done everything, oh and did I mention, there...

Review of Malgrat De Mar (Spain)

Hotel Armadams, Palma de Mallorca

Advantages: Well presented, friendly, welcoming, modern
Disadvantages: On a back street

...We visted the Hotel Armadams for our honeymoon back in October 2006 for a short break to take in the sights and sounds of Palma. It is situated one "block" away from the main promenade in Palma, a road lined on one side with bars, hotels, shops and the marina and harbour area on the other. I am not a great Spanish speaker, infact I know only the most basic of phrases to muddle through, but the staff were very understanding and very helpful, even though we weren't checking in until really late following a delayed flight. The room was exceptional. Clean crisp tiled floors beautufully airy which really made a good first impression. We had a view looking out at the flats opposite, but a sneaky view between the buildings to the goregous marina opposite. Features of the room were also impressive, with a mini bar, television...

De Vere hotel in the centre of Cambridge!

Advantages: Great location, nice rooms, friendly
Disadvantages: Parking charge, busy area

...My husband and I stayed here a year or so ago, he took me for a surprise weekend away and I was very impressed with the hotel. He firstly choose De vere's as they are known to have very nice, luxury hotels at quite good prices in good locations. This location was fantastic. At first though I must admit I was a bit disappointed because looking at the photograph of the hotel you expect it to have a lovely huge green area in front of it but that is actually the park next to the hotel. The hotel is situated right in the town and not really surrounded by green area at all as the photo suggests but never mind, it did not put us off. The location like I said was in town, just a short walk down the road (Regent Street) to all the shops and restaurants so after a great day sightseeing etc it did not take long to get back "home". The rooms...

Tossa de Mar.. Beautiful Area, Cat Litter Beach!

Advantages: Picturesque, Hot!
Disadvantages: Quiet!

...I got back from a week in Tossa De Mar on Saturday night, it was my first visit to the area so I wasn?t altogether sure of what it would be like there, or what to expect from the holiday. The night we arrived (at about 2am) we found a bar to have a drink in, unfortunately it wasn?t serving food (just ice cream) which was a pain as we were all starving, and couldn?t seem to find anywhere to buy some food. So my first piece of advice is to make sure you have enough to eat before arriving if you?re arriving at a silly time at night. My first impressions of the resort were that it was picturesque but seemed very quiet and as the holiday went on, I discovered that this was correct. As a 26 year old, I?ve been more used to going out and getting rather tipsy (ok, I mean drunk but I didn?t want to let my Ciao halo slip too far down...

Am I Or Am I Not Snob ?

Advantages: Very cheap stay.
Disadvantages: Other guests, bland food and no space.

...the noise. I loved Tossa De mar itself and I would visit again, but as for the hotel I don't think I will be returning to it or any all inclusive resort for that matter as if feel we would not get our moneys worth. I feel this is a family hotel or even better suited to stag and hen parties, if you are a couple looking for a relaxing break with nice food and a few quite drinks then this place is a definite no no....
