'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

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 Sunscape The Beach, Punta Cana

just a beauty

Advantages: thousands
Disadvantages: it is a litlle (?!!!?) faraway

...Punta del Este is the holiday resort more exclusive of the whole South America. Businessmen from Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela as well United States of America select Punta del Este as location for their holidays house. Here come also singers, sport stars, actor and actress. The name of this resort says itself that the town is located on the point more eastern of Uruguay. To reach Punta del Este you should first of all fly to Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay and the drive for about one hour along a very beautiful scenic road that pass through woods, follows the coast of the Atlantic ocean, climbs the surrounding hills. Despite the development of hotels and tourist structures in accordance with the USA style, Punta del Este keeps her fascination of a city of seamen established by European immigrants, most of them where from...

Review of Punta del Este

The Town of Es Caná in Ibiza

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

..., water skiing, para-gliding and more. If you take a walk to the North of Es Caná you will find Cala Nova and Cala Leña which lead to very relaxing and restful shady spots to take in the beautiful coatline. If you head South you can walk to Santa Eulalia past Cala Martina and S'Aramassa and take in the wonderful views of the Mediterranean. Es Caná is also famous for it's Hippy Market which takes place every Wednesday in the grounds of Club Punta Arabi between the months of May and October. There are always good parking facilities, but the bus is recommended during the high season as there can be a lot of traffic. It is not a long walk to the Hippy Market from Es Caná and only took me and my boyfriend about 20 minutes to walk there. Tour Operators that go to Es Caná are Thomson, First Choice, JMC, Thomas Cook, Portland Direct, Cosmos...

Review of Ibiza (Spain)

BADGER GOES CONTINENTAL.....

Advantages: Great value for money, clean, friendly staff, quiet, large rooms, varied menu, close to beach
Disadvantages: Paper thin walls, gym and sauna located in another hotel

...From the moment you pull up outside the Punta Dorada Princess, a 4 star hotel located in Cap Salou you start to nod your head and agree with the excited voices in your head that yes, deciding to stay here was a good decision to make and this is further reinforced when you see the hotel in all its glory in the full bright light of a sunny Spanish morning. My wife and I decided that as we hadn?t had a holiday in 2006 due to the purchase of our flat we deserved a few days rest and recuperation in the sun, and not being one to pay overly inflated package holiday prices only to be lumped in with a merry band of English people and their screaming kids I took it upon myself to set a few criteria and went forth with the help of Expedia to find a suitable hotel with the flights being booked directly. Living in London I desperately wanted some...

Review of Punta Dorada Princess Hotel, Salou

Punta arenas

Advantages: lovely people, good english spoken
Disadvantages: not that good for tourists

...I have literally JUST come back from a three and a half week tour of Chile, and I must say that Punta Arenas was the highlight! Home of the penguins, this snowy area is the only place in the world I am sure where you can buy postcards of Antartica! Families have maids, and they eat nothing but cake!- everybody not just the maids! There are a lot of British families there, and also a british school (called The British School- how original!) Not the greatest place to go if you are into shopping, or nice beaches! I popped down to the beach on an afternoon off and was greeted by more litter than your local dump! There are army men everywhere and lots of military museums. If you go to the plaza, there is a statue of an American Indian, if you kiss his big toe (not nice I know) legend has it you will return to chile. The statue has...

Review of Insight Guide Chile - Insight Guide

Barcelo Punta Goleta

Advantages: very cheap, fantastic weather, fantastic excursions
Disadvantages: long flight, beach vendors

...My partner and I have just returned from Puerto Plata. We stayed at the Barcelo Punta Goleta Hotel and had a blast. Accommodation The room was simple and clean and we always had hot water for showers. We did not have any problems with bugs, in fact, I only seen one in the room in the fortnight we were there. I would still suggest that it's always a good idea to take insect repellent whenever you go to the Caribbean just incase. In the room there were two queen sized beds - this was a blessing because at night it can get really hot and a couple of times I found it difficult to sleep in the same bed as my partner because of the heat. There was plenty space to keep clothes and any other bits you pick up while there. The air conditioning was excellent, a wee bit noisy but the low whir was definitely worth it. While we were out...

Review of General: Dominican Republic

A beautiful beach resort

Advantages: Lovely beaches, lots of big expensive looking buildings,
Disadvantages: Relatively expensive living, can get very crowded in summer

...-bread to have with Dulce de Leche. Overall we spent very little time going around, but what there was was very nice. Apparently lots of richy celebs stay at the Conrad, which is some big hotel/casino place. Very big, very nice to look at and very richy. We went in and looked around - bigger than any hotel ive ever been in (though I dont really look at many). The other reviewers probably spent more time there, as tourists, in summer months - which is what Punta del Este is really for. A place definately worth visiting, if you go to Uruguay....

Review of Punta del Este

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...
