perfection!

[28/06/2007] We came to Roy's Restaurant almost by accident as it stood on the corner at Bayshore Village directly opposite our hotel and it was the venue for our first dinner after arriving in Naples. We were so delighted with our experience that we made a point of returning before the end of our stay. Once inside, the interior lighting was quite subdued but we were welcomed by an cheery "Aloha" from the greeter who showed us to our table and presented us with our menus. A refrain from "Happy Talkin'" would not have gone amiss here and would have introduced the theme of this "Original Hawaiian Fusion [more]

GrandStay Hotel & Suites Fort Myers

unacceptable

[25/06/2007] "Brand new Inn only three miles from airport offers outstanding dining." (1) I am not usually minded to write reviews about hotels where I have stayed only as a transient. However, a recent series of niggles and annoyances have made me put pen to paper to draft what will hopefully be a timely reminder and gentle warning for future unwary fellow travellers. On our current trip to Florida (I am a frequent visitor to the state) our itinerary was best served by flying into Fort Myers and leaving via Tampa International. With a very long and tiring outward journey I decided not to pick up th [more]

Bayfront Inn On Fifth ex Comfort Inn & Marina

Naples

pretty good

[23/06/2007] "Caribbean Chic - Naples Only Downtown Waterfront Boutique Hotel" (1) We came away from the Bayfront Inn on Fifth with mixed feelings. I am not sure what the term "boutique hotel" is supposed to conjure up (bijou residence, fripperies and lace, individually tailored, designer labelled bedrooms?) but this renovated concrete box of a Comfort Inn is not it. It is clear that they have had a renovation recently and it is true to say that, with its bamboo murals (which cover everything including the doors to the lifts), dark wood, beige walls and carpets and rattan furniture, Caribbean Themed ho [more]

Jennings Brewery Tour

so-so

[30/11/2006] This is not a review of the tour of the brewery itself but, rather, one of the brewery's better known preparations. I assume that one of the attractions of taking the tour will be the sampling at the end, and therefore I offer my own experience of such an experiment. My ratings here are of the beer! All of a sudden there has been a flood of ales into my local supermarkets from a (relatively) local brewer from the other side of the Pennines. Added to this curiosity value, I was also quite intrigued by names on the labels (Cragrat, 175 Limited Edition) as well as the subject of this review C [more]

Tampa

perfection!

[27/10/2006] It is said that Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer searching for the Fountain of Youth, was the first European to land on the mainland of America in the vicinity of Tampa Bay and named the area (he thought it was an island) the "land of blossoms". Don Cortez and the conquistadores who followed him were searching across the Caribbean and Central America for Inca gold. Tampa Bay is a huge natural and safe harbour. Today it is home to the city of Tampa on its northern bank and St Petersburg to the west. Tampa saw huge development during the final years of the 19th century as a staging post for tro [more]

Walt Disney World Resort

Lake Buena Vista

perfection!

[12/09/2006] My screen name should give an indication that although I come from the UK side of the pond, I have some predilection for the Sunshine State. I have spent many happy holidays in and around Walt DisneyWorld (WDW) in Florida. My first visit was back in 1980 and this year marked my thirty second return. During that time I have seen, done and worn most of the T-shirts and have also explored many of the bits that one-time visitors just don't have the time to see and would not think to ask about. This review is something of a retrospective on my part but I also hope that I can pass on a hint or two t [more]

Walt Disney World Back Stage Tours

Lake Buena Vista

perfection!

[11/09/2006] We arrived at the meeting point at ten to nine on what was already promising to be a hot July day. Casually signposted between the exit ramp from the Monorail station and the already busy ticket booths, the first flush of the day's visitors to Epcot were already traipsing through the bag check and milling around the turnstiles without giving us a second glance. We exchanged nervous glances with others seated on the concrete flower tubs, all wondering whether indeed we were at the right place and on time. Over the next ten minutes group had grown to some forty souls. On the stroke of nine o' [more]

Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary

Naples

perfection!

[08/09/2006] Imagine, if you will, the bald cypress trees reaching far above your head. Between the branches you see glimpses of the turkey vultures wheeling high against the clouds, the red-shouldered hawk soaring, the graceful flight of the swallow-tailed kites. If you are lucky you may catch sight of the Barred owl perched in the high branches or flashes of brilliant red as the male Northern Cardinal flits over the ground looking for food. By the pool overgrown with water lettuce you may catch the eye of an alligator or a Florida Red belly Turtle. This is the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary - Collier County, [more]

Holiday Inn Leicester

Leicester

very good

[30/08/2006] Earlier this year like so many dutiful parents we were involved in organising the round of Open Day visits that our daughter was making prior to her making her choice of University placement. As the fates would have it one entry on her short list was the De Montfort University in Leicester. There was only one contender on our short list as a place to stay - the Holiday Inn, St Nicholas Circle. Leicester is one of those places in the East Midlands that you tend to drive past on the M1 without a second thought or glance. It only achieved city status relatively late in life (1919) although it [more]

excellent

[27/08/2006] No visitor to Downtown Disney in Walt DisneyWorld (WDW), Florida over the last couple of years could have failed to notice the major new resort complex which has been taking shape on the opposite bank of the lake. I have been a frequent visitor to Walt DisneyWorld (WDW) and Florida for 25 years and the family was amongst the first members of the Disney Vacation Club (DVC). We have always stayed 'on property' and this year we chose this newly opened member of the DVC family - Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort and Spa.
