excellent

[11/06/2009] The Parque de la Paloma is located just back from the seafront in Benalmadena you turn up at the windmill roundabout on to the avenue Federico Garcia Lorca and the park is just in front of you. It is also one of the stops on the city sightseeing tour. The park is over 200,000 square meters in size and was opened in the mid 1980’s. The land is laid out round a manmade lake and can be quite hilly in places but there are plenty seats for resting and taking in the view. The paths are monoblock which makes them easy to walk without fear of tripping on uneven slabs. The main attraction of the park [more]

perfection!

[10/06/2009] When we decided to make a return trip to Benalmedina we opted to go to the four star Hotel Las Arenas as it was recommended by friends. It is slightly further out just opposite the Castle Bill Bill and when you cross the road it’s a flat walk all the way to the marina which is away from the large hills on which many of the other hotels are located. Reception On arrival check in was swift and at this time we opted to pay for a safety deposit box we were then handed the safe key and card key to room 524 and pointed in the direction of the lifts. On looking round reception it was laid out w [more]

pretty good

[16/10/2008] When we decided on a winter break we choice the Hotel Siroco in Benalmadena as we always wanted to visit Gibraltar and this Costa was nearest. We arrived at the hotel about 6pm and checked in, the process was very slow as only one person was on duty and it is an extremely busy hotel. We paid 19 euros for a safety deposit box for one week 2 euros a day plus a deposit of 5 euros. Then with key card in hand we headed for room 408. The Room The room had two single beds pushed together to look like a large double situated between a large headboard with had bedside tables on it. A light was situ [more]

excellent

[25/04/2008] The Palace of Holyroodhouse is the official residence of Her Majesty the Queen in Scotland. The royal apartments are used regularly by The Queen for official entertaining and State ceremonies. They are all beautifully decorated with many works of art from the royal collection. It is set in the large Queens Park where the Queen hosts a garden party in July every year .The year I was offered the chance to go unfortunately coincided with holiday arrangements. But I was told all about it from friends. Large marquees are set up in case of inclement weather, it is Scotland after all and trays of m [more]

excellent

[24/04/2008] When we were on holiday in Las Vegas we thought an interesting trip would be to the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead so we booked a tour in an air conditioned coach as it was July and Nevada was extremely hot. Outside it was 120 degrees and the air conditioning could not cope by the time was neared the dam we had nearly cooked. Our first glimpse of this impressive structure was from high up on the approach road where Barbara Streisand has a home overlooking Lake Mead. Some facts and figures about the Hoover Dam. The Dam was the worlds largest when it was built in 19931-35. Hoover was president whe [more]

Metropark

Hong Kong

perfection!

[06/04/2008] When trying to decide on a hotel for our trip to Hong Kong we did a lot of research and opted for the Metro Park Hotel in Causeway bay rather than its sister hotel in Kowloon. This was mainly due to its location in a quieter part of town and its superb transport links. The hotel is roughly three quarters of an hour from the airport and the bus to the airport stops at the door of the hotel, as our transport was included we did not use that option. It is well located too with the MTR station being just along the road, the trams passing the end of the road and the bus to Stanley also just a short [more]

perfection!

[02/02/2008] When we decided on a week away in January we chose the Sol Magalluf Park hotel as it came highly recommended, and we certainly werent disappointed. The location of the hotel is just behind the famous Magulluf Strip of infamous depending on your point of view however in January this is not relevant as most of the clubs and bars were closed. On arrival check in was very efficient with three members of staff behind reception and soon we had the key card to room 516 in our hand plus a card which was to be shown in the restaurant as we were half board and we were pointed in the direction of the li [more]

Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex

Cape Canaveral

96%

excellent

[09/01/2008] When the subject of visiting the Kennedy Space Centre was broached I was a bit dubious but as the men in the family were all keen I went along for the ride. You enter the complex through Spaceport Central where you can pick up information, wheelchairs, buggies and can buy tickets. Kennedy itself is free but to enjoy it to the full a bus tour to the NASA Space Shuttle facility and a tour to the launch pad and the Apollo / Saturn V centre are well worth it. It only costs $8 for adults and $5 for children up to 11 under 3s are free, a Mission Pass costing $19 for adults $12 for kids includes the b [more]

perfection!

[09/01/2008] MGM Studios is the smallest of the Disney Parks but still has a lot to offer whetheryou are a movie buff or just looking for a fun day out. A day trip can cost in the regionof £35 but you do get a lot for your money but a hopper pass which gives you accessto all the Disney parks is by far the best value. At the entrance to the park you can pick up maps wheelchairs buggies or hire a locker for the day. There are many great things to see and do including Star Tours this is a thrill packed ride which sends you zooming through hyperspace and battling imperial starfighters so you can relive the [more]

[07/01/2008] Hong Kong Disneyland is situated on Lantau Island where it was built on reclaimed land. It was opened in 2005 and covers approximately 100 acres though expansion plans are in the pipeline this is the smallest of the Disneyland resorts. It is very easy to get to from Hong Kong as the MTR runs there with the last leg of the journey from Sunny Bay station being on a Disney themed train with Mickey windows and hand pull also in the shape of Mickeys head which the children loved. It is laid out like most Disney parks you enter and arrived first at the Main Street USA Attractions here are th [more]
