Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain (review, videos, pictures)

…n Melia Don Pepe Marbella Spain, originally uploaded by garybembridge. The Gran Melia Don Pepe Hotel, Marbella, Spain is a five star hotel. Though I am not really sure why. It is a decent hotel with decent rooms and okay service. But it does not have the style, flair or sense of specialness that a 5 star hotel should have. This was the 2nd time that I stayed at the hotel. Both times were attending a work conference. It is perfect for out-of-season…

Gran Melia Fenix Hotel Madrid Spain: Stunning, plush and great service

…ran Melia Fenix Hotel in Madrid for a weekend break, and loved this hotel. Gran Melia Fenix Madrid Entrance It is a very stylish, smart and striking hotel with fabulous lobby area with sweeping staircase. The entrance does have a wow factor. The lobby leads through to a bar/ seating area with amazing ceiling, off here is the bar and also an ornate and smarter lounge bar (that serves fabulous cocktails!). The whole feel of the place is up-market, a…

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

HILTON MILLENIUM HOTEL, NEW YORK, USA: noisy due to ground zero building

…it on this trip. The hotel is right next to the famous Century 21 discount label department store and an easy 10 minute walk to South Street Sea Port area with its shops and museums and the major drop off and pick up for the round Manhattan bus tours. But overall, it is not a very handy destination for tourists as far from the shopping areas and Central Park etc. Overall, I liked the room a lot but the noise of construction did wake me up earlier…

Getting Disembarkation Day Right

The Best Way To End Your Cruise: Getting Disembarkation Day Right

…if you are putting your luggage out keep the tear off tag from the luggage label, that will remind you what allocated slot you have and, as some cruise lines require us to show our luggage tag colour to let you off the ship, the allocated time. Finally, when packing, don’t pack the cruise line umbrella, dressing gown, binoculars or other bits and pieces around the cabin. You will likely be charged for those and often at a much higher amount than i…

These 7 Things Throw Norwegian Fjords Cruisers Every Time!

…ke design. And of course, they have trolls everywhere. Always check on the label where they’re made. I would stress again that Norway is very expensive. The currency is the Norwegian kroner, and because it’s not the Euro, the exchange rate is more complicated, it’s easy to get confused about how much you’re paying. Make sure you understand it. On the plus side, many of the souvenir shops will take Euros and some will take dollars or UK Sterling. I…

I Tried the World’s “Most Popular Small Ship Cruise” Line: Windstar Cruises

…deck BBQ and a Galley Market in Amphora where the Galley was turned into a grand buffet. There were also Port Talks and a guest speaker, Dr. Jean Kenyon, spoke about whales, Arctic animals, animal sounds and the undiscovered ocean. And the Captain did a talk about the stretching of the ship. What I learned going on a such small ship is it more about socialising. I’m not a drinker and I don’t particularly like sitting listening to live music, so th…

CUNARD QUEEN MARY 2: SOME QUESTIONS I GOT AND MY THOUGHTS

…lve around medications, ailments or hearing aids? We all love our dear old gran, but most of us wouldn’t choose to spend a full seven days with her. Second, do you have tips on ‘secret places’ on the QM2 where one can relax without feeling crowded? We will certainly use our cabin for sleep and privacy, but it would be great to know the places on the ship where I can relax reading a book (or my Kindle) without being bothered by hen parties or drunk…

Koh Samui Thailand. Travel Tips And Top Things To See and Do

…i culture or “Thai-ness” about the place. I felt like I could have been at Gran Canaria in the Canary Islands or one of the intensely developed Spanish resorts in the Costa Brava. This was a disappointment. We hired a car for a few days, but ended up not using it that much. The island itself is not that large and so you can fairly easily do a trip around the island in less than a day. It is easy to find your way about, as there is effectively a ci…
