Come join the Calypso fun.

Advantages: Easy to use, protection for the body and the scalp, ideal for thin or balding hair.
Disadvantages: None except choosing the right factor.

...sun bathing. The last time I went abroad to Rhodes in Greece I decided that a pale golden glow was preferable to risking skin cancer so I decided to take a range of different products with me but where would I start when I wanted to use different factors? My partner at that time was older than me and burnt easily in even the mildest of sun so the dual bottles of different factors were not suitable for us both. The answer came in a most unusual way, we were shopping in Matalan for extra summer clothes and came upon a range of sun products called Calypso a brand neither of us had heard of before. I was a bit hesitant about trying it as I always thought the big brand names were the best but there so many different collections in this range that we decided to try it out. On offer at £10 a set we chose one which contained a factor 6...

CALYPSO HOTEL(SALOU)REVIEW

Advantages: Very friendly and helpful staff Lovely pools
Disadvantages: food a bit naff..Room too small ..Lots of noisy Spanish people,

...We stayed at the Calypso Hotel in Salou for a 7night trip. On our arrival (10pm) we were politely dealt with by the reception staff. We were put on the top floor of the older building (This was OK for myself and my husband and 12 month old baba , but I wouldn't want to stay on this floor with young children. The lifts were good, and they always worked, and even though they only held 4 people, we didn't have to wait long. Our room was way too small really, and it had very dated furniture and an uncomfortable bed. We had lots of storage space for clothes etc. This room slept 4, but I wouldn't want to stay in it with any more than 2 people. The bathroom was brilliant, and it was very very clean. The shower was excellent, and we were supplied with clean towels and toilet rolls every day. I wish I could have a shower as powerful as...

Ancient Empires - Thomson Calypso

Advantages: Excellent itinery, well organised tours
Disadvantages: Poor service and facilities onboard

...The Thomson Calypso is the latest addition to Thomson's cruise fleet. It is the smallest Thomson ship, and is an 'adults only' ship. It has everything you would expect from a cruise ship: restaurant, informal dining, shops, a beauty salon, bars, a gym, sundeck, and pool. At over £100 per night Thomson cruises are not especially cheap, and the brochure promises personal service and plush facilities. Having previously cruised with Thomson on Celebration, I must admit to being sceptical when I read the numerous poor reviews of Calypso on various websites. Having now cruised aboard Calypso I am forced to admit that previous reviewers were absolutely right. Thomson promise a more personal style of service aboard the 'intimate' Calypso. The atmosphere amongst guests was certainly pleasant, but a relatively low ratio of staff to guests...

Easy baking with Calypso Dry Oil Spray

Advantages: Affordable, easy to use
Disadvantages: Slightly greasy (but it is Oil!)

...I've already done a review on the Calypso After Sun spray and I am a huge fan of their products. It's that time of year again, and we are off on Holiday at the end of June. I've already started shopping for Holiday bits and bobs and one of my necessities is Calypso Dry Oil spray. My holiday is not complete without it! I first used Calypso Dry Oil spray in January of this year when we went to Lanzarote. My boyfriend tans easily and quickly but as we were only going for a week, he decided to buy some Oil before we went, to speed up the 'baking' process! We had previously used Piz Buin Tanning Oil. This was in a normal bottle, rather than a spray and went everywhere. By the end of the Holiday, the oil was everywhere and has sand encrusted around the top. The bottle dripped and leaked in our beach bag, all over our towels...

Review of Calypso Dry Oil Spray

Calypso saved my legs...!

Advantages: Handy spray, no mess, instant effects
Disadvantages: None!

...again. So, the next time I went away was with my current partner, 5 years ago, when I was 19. Ironically, we ended up going to Corfu (and the Holiday was much better than with my parents!). As I hadn't been abroad for 5 years (and there's barely any sun in Manchester), my skin had become very fair. A couple of weeks before going away, we went to our local shopping centre and had a browse in the Pound Store, for Holiday necessities such as toothpaste and Shampoo. That is when we came across the 'Calypso' range of Sun Lotion and After sun. As this was a Pound Store, I'm sure you can guess what they were priced at! Before seeing the Calypso range, I had never really even thought about Sun Lotion?.I'd never burnt in the past, I saw no reason as to why I would now. However, my boyfriend - being the sensible one - said we should...

Bt Calypso 225 Twin

Advantages: Easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: Not any that stand out

...is charged when the battery icon on the screen shows 3 green bars. When a handset is fully charged you should be able to talk on it for 10 hours, I do not know if this is correct as even I don't talk on the phone for 10 hours straight. Without being used the batteries should last for about 88 hours. The handsets screen will display lots of useful icons that tell you for example if you have any missed calls or messages. There is a range indicator that will flash if you are out of range. There is an icon that shows when the answerphone is enabled or not in use. It will also tell you if the keypad is locked or the handset ringer is off. Each handset is pre-registered to its base with default names of Calypso 1, Calypso 2 etc, depending on how many handsets you purchase. One of the first things I did was adjust the date and time...

Review of BT Calypso 225 Triple

BT Calypso 225 Tasty if a bit Tacky

Advantages: Good Price & a great looking phone
Disadvantages: Cheap & nasty with buttons that are too small

...I bought these phones as part of a triple pack from an online site that deals with returns from catalogues. I have always wanted DECT phones, as they are far more flexible than ones you have to plug in. You see with a DECT phone all you need to do is plug one into your main phone socket, so in your hall then all the others need is an electrical plug as the signal is transmitted thought your home. I had heard that this was a compromise on the quality of the sound but not the case as these little phones have superb reception The Calypso 225 has an answering machine with a maximum of 16 minutes recording time, & the facility for caller information to be displayed as long as you sign up with BT for it. This cost around a fiver a quarter but I always know when my mother in law is calling so it's well worth it :-) Text messages may...

Review of Calypso Hotel, Salou

Luvvly jubbly?

Advantages: handy to keep in
Disadvantages: quite sweet

...in a pack and they are all individually wrapped in a thickish card which houses the unfrozen lolly. The flavour I picked (well it was the only flavour they had at Iceland so had no choice) was strawberry. According to the back of the box though they also come in orange; blackcurrant and the rather nice sounding tropical flavours. The box is brightly coloured with a blue background, and bold yellow writing with 'Jubbly' at the top and a thirst quenching ice lolly underneath. Next to it are succulent strawberries randomly flying about..all in all it catches your eye on the shelf. The product is made by Calypso and for each 100ml serving you are looking at 33cals (each lolly contains 62ml of unfrozen juice) I paid £1.29 for 10 so didn't think that was too bad but I am sure prices will vary depending on where you shop. So the taste test...
