A word of caution
lastone about Luna Encantada Condos (Playa del Carmen)
Great location, great views, nicely furnished, BUT... With two nightclubs flanking this complex ("Fusion" - North side, "Bang" - South side coming soon 7 / 2008) any quiet nights left after Fusions (many) live music nights are gone, baby, gone. Some will say that the higher up you are the better off, [...]

Terrible Experience
guest about Ivania's (Masaya)
We went there in July and had the worst customer service ever!! We got there at night after having reserved and paid up front for a group of 6. We arrived and the manager showed us our room. We pulled in the car to private parking and had to drag all of our luggage to the very back of the hotel. We [...]

Mickie about Sirenis La Salina Varadero Beach Resort (Varadero)
We had a great time, wonderful ambiance and very friendly environement [...]

Upgrade to down the road
guest about Pinar Dorado (Jarabacoa)
My husband and I recently stayed at Pinar Dorado. We really didnt like it. I mean, it was ok I guess. The staff were friendly and helpful. The decor was kind of cool. But the room was very small. The air didnt work the first day. The lights in the hallway were broken and blinking which made [...]

Cabanas on the beach in Tulum.
spicy about Tierras del Sol (Tulum)
This was an excellent place to just relax. The owner was very pleasant and helpful and made himself available without being intrusive. Stayed at the beachfront cabana, just steps away from the water and it was gorgeous. Cabanas are rustic, built of local materials and was off the grid, but very [...]

Picture perfect
Josh about Libertador Lago Titicaca Puno (Puno)
I‘m a painter and the view from my room of lake Titicaca was the muse that inspired me every time the sun set. Im used to imagining amazing things but that view simply went beyond my expectations. Such harmony was something difficult to imagine and especially when we traveled around the lake and [...]

Kings treatment
diegocl42 about Libertador Arequipa (Arequipa)
Up to this day Im not sure if it was just me being lazy or the comfort of the bed which made me never want to get up. I only did get up when the staff gently reminded me it was time for the day trips. My room was always pristine and those long hot baths was all I could ask for, I felt just like [...]

The information on this website is incorrect
guest about Oasis Villa Cayo Coco (Cayo Coco)
The facilities of this hotel are incorrect, it does not have any of the facilities listed on the website but read on for an accurate account of the Oasis Villa Cayo Coco. This hotel is a small, friendly hotel with limited entertainment. Most rooms are bungalow style, (one room down, one up) & are [...]

Discovery Marigot Bay
ronniesshin about Discover At Marigot Bay (Castries)
this was my second trip to Discovery in Marigot Bay - a fantastic experience. The hotel is top notch and the staff are brilliant, very freindly and helpful. The facilities at the hotel are of a high standard and certainly improved since my first visit as they now have a supermarket, bakery etc on [...]

Historical Treasure Short on Hotels
Brazilbum about Hotel São Francisco (Penedo)
There are not a lot of lodging alternatives in Penedo. We stayed downtown at the modernistic São Francisco Hotel in one of their comfortable renovated rooms with good views of the city and river located at Av. Floriano Peixoto, 237, Centro Histórico, Penedo-Al, (82) 3551-2273. What must have been [...]

Indescribable view
guest about Libertador Lago Titicaca Puno (Puno)
After we settled in our hotel room, we went downstairs and took a tour of the hotel. The hotels restaurant has the most amazing view of the lake and we just stood still there, staring at what we would experience the next day: an incredible trip on the lake to the Uros islands. It was an [...]

Favorite food
guest about Libertador Ciudad Blanca (Arequipa)
In January I flew to Arequipa on business, as most of my trips, but this time I decided to stay a few extra days to do some sightseeing. The downtown churches are beautiful, especially the cathedral. Convents, big houses; I had seen everything there is to see, there was only one thing left on the [...]

Agricultural Settlment Turns Tourist Attraction
Brazilbum about Maragogi (Brazil)
It is not often that an agrarian reform project becomes a tourist attraction. But, thanks to some adventurous peasants and their agricultural cooperative, Coopeagro, Maragogi, Alagoas has just such a combination. It is called the Visgueiro Tree Ecological Trail in the Assentamento Agua Fria [...]

Great for the price...just have it on writing
guest about Maison Gautreaux (Santo Domingo)
Positive- Centrally located. Walking distance to many attractions. Very safe neighborhood despite night time StreetWalkers two blocks away. Ladies at the desk...excellent attitude. Negative - too many non staff people hang around the tiny lobby. Armed security men also mill around waiting for [...]

Combing the Beach and Tropical Reef at Maragogi AL
Brazilbum about Maragogi Beach (Maragogi)
The beach and reef at Maragogi Alagoas extends for 22 kilometers. It is part of what is known as the Brazilian Coral Coast. After getting to know most of the 130 kilometers of beaches and reefs of the region, I find the Maragogi beach the best all round. Not only is the lengthy beach very [...]

You'll Find Anything at this Open Air Market
Brazilbum about Bazar (Caruaru)
Caruaru's Bazar every Tuesday is truly one of Brazil's best known attractions - for Brazilians. It is even celebrated in many popular folk songs. Less than two hours from Recife, Pernambuco, the full market starts on Tuesdays at 4 AM in the morning and ends that evening. That's right, only on [...]

A Dude Ranch and Tropical Beaches Combined
Brazilbum about Fazenda Chales de Camaragibe (Passo de Camaragibe)
Near a small rural town in Brazils Northeast region, certainly the Hotel Fazenda Chalets de Camaragibe is off the beaten track. Yet, the place is so unique; I had to let you all know about it. About 68 kilometers by paved road from Maceio, the state capitol of Alagoas, Brazil, is the small [...]

A Brazilian Historical Gem
Brazilbum about Museu do Café (Santos)
A visit to Santos, Brazil's principle port wouldn't be complete without seeing this building, now the Coffee Museam. It is truly the focus of what made the State of São Paulo - its great agricultural production that started with coffee beans. The Museam is the building where in the 1920's through [...]

If you only see one thing in Cordoba . . .
Ausje about La Manzana Jesuítica (Córdoba )
You cant get much more historically significant than this. The Jesuits were responsible for founding the first university in Cordoba and a library to go with is as well as building churches. The whole complex is a UNESCO heritage site but it is still the university today so you see it as it should [...]

The perfect day out with children
Ausje about Zoo de Buenos Aires (Buenos Aires)
We took our daughter to the zoo for the day when we were in Buenos Aires and she loved it. It is nicely set out and easy to get around on foot and with a pushchair. There are some animals (maras and geese for example) wandering loose, which is wonderful for small children as they can look at them [...]
