Title: The Essential Sam Jameson / Peter Kittredge Box Set: EIGHT hit thrillers from Lars Emmerich - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Lars Emmerich Page; Review: Really, REALLY good stories! I was particularly drawn to Sam Jameson as a character...she came across to me as a little more internally flawed than some of the tough guys out there but would definitely hold her own! Overall, a great deal even at full price for an introduction to the Jameson/Kittredge series and a very talented author who can weave some awesome yarns!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Priority Target : A Carrie Chronicles Spy Thriller: Action, Mystery, Espionage, and Suspense - Book 1 - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Ethan Jones Page; Review: I "hate" these kind of books...I pick it up at bedtime planning to read a chapter or two and end up reading half the night! Ethan Jones has created another cool operator in Carrie O'Connor, who is deep in-country in the Middle East when we meet her. The places and details are accurate and current events are remarkably similar as Carrie battles her way through a labyrinth of other intelligence agencies, each with their own agenda's and little concern for Carrie and her mission parameters. Not to be sexist, but after my military days I have always struggled with females as elite operators by Ethan has done a great job with Carrie...other than obvious wardrobe issues (try aiming with your eyes covered!) I quickly stopped thinking of her as a "girl" but more as a true boots on the ground operator. Great characters, great (and current) storyline, great read! Can't wait for more Carrie adventures.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Foreverland Boxed: A Science Fiction Thriller - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tony Bertauski Page; Review: Not just any "teen in danger" romp... Bertauski's teens must get their minds fixed through virtual reality...yeah, that sounds safe! I have read 2 of the 3 - these are definitely one of the best series of thrillers well worth a few or ten bucks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NecroWitch - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tim Miller Page; Review: Witches, bitches, and gangsters oh my! Tim has outdone himself with this story and belongs in a genre all his own: exterme EXTREME horror! Sable is a genuinely likeable character...a girl who tries to balance her work and other priorities just like the rest of us. Clients to please and intestines to manipulate keep a bitch witch busy! Gore galore...in Tim's always memorable style. You won't read horror like this anywhere. No one can balance the demands of extreme horror yet write a great story like Tim. (I bought this story with my very own money. Nothing really good is for free.); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Twisted Shorts: Ten Chilling Short Stories - Kindle edition; Brand: Visit Amazon's Andrew Lennon Page; Review: Great introduction to the work of Andrew Lennon. This may sound strange but the stories were crisp! No extra verbiage and each one a little jewel of terror and madness...and twisted for sure. Great collection kept me reading a lot longer than most of the ego collections I see these days. Just honest, GOOD stories. Way to go Andrew and you just made my must read list!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Halfskin Boxed; Brand: Visit Amazon's Tony Bertauski Page; Review: Great, GREAT stories! Tony never disappoints. It can be hard to find interesting stories around such fascinating topics as stem cell research but Tony definitely grabs the reader with the effect on human bodies. Are there downsides to the amazing healing powers? You'll have to grab the set to see...you won't regret it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Kindle_Store |

Title: salad rolls with mango and avocado; Review: Ok.. I admit I didn't actually make it all of it - had it at a friend's going away party, but it was absolutely amazing!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: beef with rice noodles kway teow; Review: Although the dish tasted amazing, the only issue I had was that the fresh rice noodles I used clumped up once I tossed them into the wok. Any suggestions?; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: chinese soy sauce chicken; Review: Your recipe is totally authentic - so yummy! :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: starbucks banana bread; Review: I thought the recipe was really good! I was craving the Starbucks Banana Chocolate Chip Cake so I substituted mini choc chips instead of walnuts and used cake flour. I'm sure if you added flax seed, it would be a very good approximate of the actual cake. Thanks for posting!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: sweet potato pecan cookies; Review: These cookies turned out healthier tasting than I imagined even though I added chocolate chips. Eating my fifth one, so I guess that speaks to itself!; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | food |

Title: Ruby's Beauty Salon; City: Upper Darby, PA; Review: Love love love this place! Amazing service for great prices! I get my eyebrows threaded, lash extensions, hennah and waxing there and they are so worth the 45min drive one way!! I even got my daughters ears pierced tyre and they are amazing! Absolutely love Sonya and Noreen. Way better than most center city Places - I recommend this place to everybody!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Vango Lounge & Skybar; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: One of my favorite clubs in philly! Food, drinks and service are phenomenal! Dress nice and go see and be seen. Absolutely love the roof top!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cedars Cafe; City: Frazer, PA; Review: I'm Middle Easter and their food is as good as back home (if not better!) love love the shish tawook, kibbe, and stuffed grape leaves. Amazing service - highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Byblos; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Hands down best place in the city!! Food, drinks atmosphere and service! Make sure to ask for the Misho shot..dangerously good!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fez Moroccon Restaurant; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Perfect for a group or unique date night! Excellent food and love the belly dancer! Guaranteed a memorable fun night!! highly recommend; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nine Ting; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: Absolutely love this place! It's clean, quick service and a great selection of meats fish and veggies - and to top it all off..make your own sauce bar! Highly recommend!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hajimaru Fishtown; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I grew up in Japan and know my ramen - if you are looking for typical street ramen it might not quite be ur but don't right it off - it's awesome in its own way! I'm a huge Terakawa fan but I'm so glad I have a local ramen place to walk to if i do t feel like driving to center city! The staff is awesome and the atmosphere is chill..def recommend Hajimaru!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: ; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: They used to be good whilthey first opened but the quality went downhill as the prices went up. The customer service is mediocre at best (depending on who you get). Too bad because it was walking distance from me. There are too many options around here to deal with the bad customer services and increasing prices as you go. Wouldn't recommend; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Dolsot House; City: Cherry Hill, NJ; Review: One of my favorite korean spots around!! Highly recommend the kalbi and wings. Great service!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Genesis Nail Salon; City: Philadelphia, PA; Review: I really really want to like this place because I live within walking distance from it. After a couple of disappointing manis a few years ago - I decided to go last week and still as disappointing as it was. Service is ok..definitely not warm..but not rude either. My gel mani chipped 3 days later. $55 plus tip for refill and gel..what a waste. I personally wouldn't recommend.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Bemis 1483SLOW 000 Elongated NextStep SLOW Closing Potty Seat, White; Brand: Bemis; Review: Super quiet closure, haven't used the kid seat yet so its in the cupboard until our little one needs it. For now the quiet closing helps them sleep a little bit longer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chamberlain CIGBU Internet Gateway for MyQ Technology Enabled Garage Door Openers (141C3125-2); Brand: Chamberlain; Review: Works great, App on iPhone or Android is reasonable. My only gripe is it was a process to track down the MAC address to tell my router to give this thing access. It should be printed on the bottom like most other network devices but it isn't. Was finally able to track it down on the backpages of my router setup page.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: DEWALT DCL050 20V Max LED Hand Held Area Light (Bare Tool); Brand: DEWALT; Review: This replaced my trusty 14.4v florescent Dewalt trouble light. I was skeptical at first but I think that it is a good replacement. It is brighter and lasts longer (2.0ah battery) and has almost the same width beam which I think is an improvement. The old light came from 3 sides while this projects just out of the front with a nice even beam, less chance of it lighting my work and my eyes. My only complaints are that the pivot is pretty loose but indexes well and at the rear most angle it tips over, maybe not a problem with the bigger batteries.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Coghlan's Bug-Eye Headlight for Kids; Brand: Coghlan's; Review: The images and text in the ad are misleading. The package clearly states ages 6 and up and uses coin cell batteries. Amazon says nothing about either of these. I got this for my toddler because of the reports of dimness (good in my case) but it will be returned.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hydroluxe 1433 Handheld Showerhead; Brand: Hydroluxe; Review: Been using this for a month now, its been holding up well. Installation went better than most shower heads I've done.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Matador Garage Door Insulation Kit for 8-Foot Tall Door; Brand: Atlas; Review: This is as easy as everyone says, get a sharp utility knife and be prepared for a bunch of Styrofoam particles to be everywhere. So far it's been 95+ this week and my garage hasn't been above 86. Considering my garage doors are in direct sunlight from 1pm to 8pm I'd say it's pretty effective.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: LiftMaster - Garage Door Opener Vibration Isolator Kit 89LM; Brand: LiftMaster; Review: I have living space/bedrooms directly above my garage openers and I installed these along with a DC motor opener. The result was fantastic, you can barely tell the opener is running from inside the house.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Tools_and_Home_Improvement |

Title: T-fal BF6520 Vitesses 1.7-Liter Electric Kettle with Variable Temperature, White; Brand: T-fal; Review: Our old Braun broke down after 11 years. This kettle works the same, fast and stays clean. It is not too stable though bec of base, you should be careful while grabbing it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Organic Egyptian Cotton Queen Bed Sheet, 500 Thread in Royal Blue; Brand: Orbeli & Proache; Review: Total junk, i had to throw this away after 1 week of using.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: T & L Tailor; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Came here to get a Mac Duggal gown tailored. Thankfully it fit me like a glove, but it needed a lot of length cut off. I am a costume maker myself but the gown was going to be too difficult to me so I can here and even the seamstress said it would be "difficult" and boy was it!!!! Took two fittings, but she got it almost perfect!!! It's just a little shorter at my toes than id have liked it to be but considering how obnoxiously hard the dress was it's a given that it'd either be a little short or a little long. To get a ton of silk and lace cut off the gown it was only 75 which since the gorges in the dress are about 5 feet wide each!!! Each of them, about 5-6 feet wide and there's 8 gorges... 75 was a pretty alright price!! Were I her I would have easily charged more just for the with of the skirt. It's a beautiful mermaid gown, with loads of detailed beading all over it. To say I was Nervous to leave such an expensive, and detailed gown in the hands of a stranger would be an understatement. I even texted my boyfriend in a panic worried about how she would care for the beading during the alterations. Once the final fitting was over and I was taking her home, I examined the beading in the fitting room and was so relieved to see that none of the beads were knocked loose or even knocked off!!! Everything is as it was!!! Prom is tomorrow night, and I am so confident in how the dress is going to look!!!! It's beautiful, and sure to be a fabulous night.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: First Class Nails Spa Salon; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Horrible service, nails look okay. Did a pedi and a full set praising god I didn't do more. 3 hours for a non detailed job, and a simple pedi. Staff was rude, very uncommunicative. Didn't offer advice to caring for the manicure or advice on anything such as how to care for dry feet or dry hands. Terrible at answering questions when you do ask. Guest were skipped, it was terrible. Service so bad I'm for sure going to think twice before trying a newer and closer to home salon. I'll be sticking to my ladies on magazine!!! After that, it's well worth the drive to down town New Orleans.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Wicked 13 Tattoos; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Welcoming, and unbelievably clean! (If you ever watched friends you'll get what I mean by It's not just clean... It's Monica clean!) Super professional as well!!! Getting a tattoo isn't just about getting a good artist it's also about the experience. My first tattoo was done in Dallas by a good artist... Who was just rude and unwilling to listen to me. Made me scared to get a second tattoo but after looking at all the photos of ink that this team has done, and seeing how they enjoy tattooing by the Facebook post... I had to do it!!! And man was I glad I did!!! My boyfriend and I both got tattoos for his 18th, and they were so crazy happy to resize his tattoo and replace the stencil like five times to make sure he was happy! No annoying comments, or eye rolls they were just happy that they could work with us to make it a great tattoo!! Not to mention they let me sit with him when he got his, and they let him sit with me. His dad even came along and they were so great with him taking pictures of it. Best ink shop ever. Going back in the summer to get Traci to help me do a custom side tattoo. Did I mention that they're great? They're great. More than five star worthy, they break the damn charts of amazing. Beautiful shop, great artist!! Prices are very reasonable but honestly with service like they have I don't care about the prices. Can not put a price on a place like this. Unique. Love it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mo's Pizza; City: Westwego, LA; Review: The food is pretty cheap, it's two out of five star food, super cheap, not a thing fresh, and the crust on the awful pizzas are ridiculous. Don't know what's worse the cheese which is a cheap greasy nightmare, or that crust. Had to knock off a star of the already low review right away the second I seen the head boss drinking beer from the draft. It was for sure beer, and it was at the peek of rush hour, with a whole line of people who still hadn't even ordered yet! As a front of the house employee of a different, but extremely busy restaurant I can understand having a drink after a shift! Many restaurant workers have a drink or a cake after service ends... But.... Save it for after. Once all your guest have been fed, and you've given word to close it down then have a drink. I can't trust someone who's been drinking to handle food that is going into my body. That is not at all okay. I returned home and discussed it with my father who usually picks up the orders and he says he's seen the boss doing it before as well. Very not okay.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Red Carpet; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Cinderella move over!!!!!!!! I walked in looking for one dress, and the second they seen me they pulled out a random dress stuck it in a room and was like try that one on too we think you can pull it off really well!! 20 mins of pulling dressed myself, and finding the one I wanted online.... Nothing was like the dress they pulled for me!!!! My stars, they were amazing and so kind and I just can not thank them enough for pulling that gown!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Urgent Care - Westbank; City: Gretna, LA; Review: Been sick for 2 weeks with a uti........ Sent me out the door when my insurance was denied. I've got the cash to cover it but don't even ask me. Send me out, okay. So much for helping people.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Planet Fitness; City: Gretna, LA; Review: Large space, and kept fairly clean. Good for the price, and it's better than the other options in Gretna.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bud's Broiler; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Please avoid this establishment! While you may enjoy the food, it will not make up for the their employee "Leslie". I ate here regularly almost every other week, most workers knew my car and would start my order before i walked in with my fiancé. But Leslie changed it all. I go in by myself, he has the nerve To put his hand in my face when I try to order and say "hold up." To continue a talk with someone else about the game on TV... For a good 3-5 minutes. I wait. I message my fiancé "wow you won't believe this wait..." I look up, he's staring at me mouth open dumbfounded. I ask if he's finally ready. He said "waiting you you." Ok. I order and sit down. He comes around, begins interrogating me on why I'm sometimes late to meet my fiancé for lunch... excuse me? He then asks what's the status of our relationship. I explained we're having a destination wedding. He then rants on why we shouldn't do it, why it's a let down, why it's a disappointment to family.. Excuse me? I'm trying to eat in peace... he doesn't stop standing AT MY TABLE harassing me until I leave. I return once for a coworker, his team mates instantly apologize. With his nerve I believed him to be the owner, they tell me he's not and gives me the owners cellphone to file my harassment. Reassuring me I'm not the only solo woman he's harassed. The owner apologized. Reassuring me I'd get a formal apology... which never happens. Leslie still works, no apology made. Excuses I'm sure we're made. But this place is not a place of respect. Go to Joes Cafe for a real burger, and REAL service! I do every time now.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Joe's Cafe; City: Marrero, LA; Review: While the food is fine, the overall condition is making me question how the food is prepared and under what conditions. If the guest bathroom... looks like this... I highly doubt this small place has a staff bathroom so now I'm wondering if the staff washes their hands before touching food? Is the dish washer clean and up to grade honestly? Is the stove ever cleaned? I know I refused to use the facilities just because the sink looks so bad. The decay has been so long it's literally eating the faucet... so let's wonder for how long has it been like this? A new faucet is what.. $25 at Walmart? My meal with my husband was $26... and never again will we be back. Money is walking out of the door, the owner needs to prioritize when addressing the conditions, or maybe the next owner should prioritize the conditions?; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Snap Fitness Harvey; City: Harvey, LA; Review: A place where you can get fit... anytime! Super clean, super friendly environment, enough space to do any workout, and definitely a safe environment!! I've been apart of 3 gyms... this is easily my favorite. Not overpriced, not over crowded.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pho Bang; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Anytime I'm sick.. you can "cash me at pho bang"! Just loveeee the number 4 it's a cure all; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Daiwa; City: Marrero, LA; Review: Is it enough to say this place is on speed dial? Or that the servers recognized me at a festival? Or should I add in I'm a food safety nerd, and am obsessed with clean places to eat and then say they're on speed dial? What's bad here? Nothing. Chairs? Comfy. Design? Awesome. I'm stealing some of their ideas. Food? ... please see my reference about speed dial, read my other reviews on restaurants and then come back to this. Bathrooms? Clean and pretty.. Service? Top. Notch. Your water will never be empty. Possibly the Disneyland of sushi restaurants.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bud's Broiler; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Updating a past review: Leslie, the sexual harassing team member is no more... and neither is the ownership who approved of a man sexually harassing guest!!!!!!! Love it when the criminals get Karma'ed. -corporate eventually took over cleaned house, and now.. Smiles all around. New Orleans hearts filling the place up. The cook is SO friendly! The right kind of friendly, the New Orleans kind. Big awesome smile. The cashier/cook too, super friendly, super kind, super New Orleans. GREAT team! With great food! At great prices! I will get the names of two team members that I'm reviewing next time I visit such an improvement. Gone are the days of Leslie.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: AMC Westbank Palace 16; City: Harvey, LA; Review: Omg. What. A. Nightmare. Went to see the purge on a date, leaving the showing early it was still daylight. Shooting. In. The. Parking lot! What?! Not their fault they are in a bad location. Went back. And kids were running wild in a rated R movie- staff did nothing said at the end oh yeah we have to have 3 different complaints before we have people removed. Not the same person. Ummm... Dirty. Crumby. Disgusting. Toilets always broken. Bathroom trashed at all times. Just no. I drive to AMC Elmwood- for the clean SAFE environment.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Moran's Boot & Shoe Repair; City: Gretna, LA; Review: Incredible work on a pair of boots that needed help! It was thanksgiving, after my engagement my heels decided to no longer be attached. I rushed in the day before pleading for help they were the perfect boots for my outfit as the new bride to be for the holidays and it wasn't a problem at all!! Lovely people! Heels popped off another set of heels (my favorites... I wore them to meet Tom Felton/Draco Malfoy from Harry Potter AND John Barrowman/Jack from doctor who) these shoes can't die out or be placed in careless hands, so I'll be taking them straight here once I have a little extra time!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Popeye the Sailor: 1938-1940: The Complete Second Volume; Brand: Various; Review: Popeye's edges get a little smoothed out here in Vol. 2, with a lot less pounding the stuffing out of Bluto (heck, they even seem to become pals....well sort of) and a lot more of Popeye teaching cute lessons and morals. Nonetheless the restorations are incredible (I'm still not used to watching these without all the flicker and scratches!) and the Fleischers are still at the helm, and all Fleischer Studio Popeye's are worth the money.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Berlin Express VHS; Brand: Merle Oberon; Review: Great post war whodunit with film noir qualities and great direction from Jaques Tourneur. Robert Ryan was truly an underrated actor.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Warriors 50 Movie Pack Collection; Brand: Gordon Scott; Review: No Oscar winners here but for fans of the sword and sandal category this is pure heaven. Washed out colors, scratches and blurry images, watermarks and bad dubbing, just how I remembered these "classics". You either like these types of films or you don't, no in-betweens. I think these films are for the pre-CGI crowd where imagination is required. The life of the sword and sandal craze was short, late 50's to mid-late 60's, and this collection has most of them. If you look at these films through nostalgiac rose tinted sun-glasses there is a good time to be had. A great value for the volume.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Steve Reeves Double Feature: Giant of Marathon & War of the Trojans; Brand: Steve Reeves; Review: Two of the better Reeves films. Giant of Marathon is one of my favorites and this is a nice letterboxed copy. Decent story and direction by the great Jaques Tourneur. War of the Trojans (aka The Avenger) is a sequel to The Trojan Horse. Although not a great print of the film it's letterboxed, in color, and the best copy of the film I've seen. If you're a Steve Reeves fan this is a must. If you're new to the "sword and sandal" category this would be a good place to start.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Scipio Africanus: The Defeat of Hannibal VHS; Brand: Fosco Giachetti; Review: Despite being a WW II propaganda film this movie is great. Wonderful production values and great action scenes. Fans of the genre will enjoy it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Tarzan's Greatest Adventure; Brand: Gordon Scott; Review: Wow, not just a solid Tarzan film but a darn good action flick all the way around. Gordon Scott was one of the better Tarzan actors and he's backed up by a solid cast in this one. Anthony Quayle, Niall McGuiness, A young Sean Connery, and veteran character actor Al Mulloch round out the cast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Giant of Metropolis; Brand: Gordon Mitchell; Review: It's a bad movie that I just love. One of the stranger sci-fi fantasy films made has it's own charm. Gordon Mitchell rocks!; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Chimes at Midnight; Brand: Michael Aldridge; Review: I just absolutely love the way Welles directs Shakespeare. Great atmosphere and visuals (like all Welles fims) and nice character role assistance from John Gielgud (nobody, I mean NOBODY speaks Shakespeare like Gielgud) and Jeanne Moreau and Fernando Rey.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: The Paul Newman Collection: (Harper / The Drowning Pool / The Left-Handed Gun / The Mackintosh Man; Brand: Paul Newman; Review: More of a psychological western than action movie.

Title: Return of the Dragon VHS; Brand: Bruce Lee; Review: The final showdown between Bruce and Chuck at the Coloseum makes this movie a must.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The War Lord VHS; Brand: Charlton Heston; Review: The love story is a little weak, Heston as medieval warlord falls head over heels for peasant virgin girl. Rosemary Forsythe as love interest isn't given much to work with here but she looks great for a girl with little make-up and wearing a potato sack. Henry Wilcoxon is under used as Heston's chief nemesis. But on the plus side the cinematography by Russel Metty is absolutely stunning. Supporting actors Richard Boone as Heston's servant/bodyguard and Maurice Evans as local priest steal every scene they're in. Other familiar faces include Niall MacGinnis, James Farentino, Woodrow Parfrey, Michael Conrad, and Guy Stockwell in one of his better performances. So-So story is made up for with first rate production values including direction by a young Franklin Schaffner (Planet of the Apes, Papillon, Patton); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dark of the Sun VHS; Brand: Rod Taylor; Review: Great cast, music and production. One of Rod Taylor's better moments and Jim Brown shows some decent acting chops.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Black Book; Brand: Robert Cummings; Review: The cinematography alone makes this a great film. Cinematographer John Alton was incredible at making a small budget film look expensive and always worked well with director Anthony Mann.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best of the Badmen VHS; Brand: Robert Ryan; Review: Pretty solid B-western with great cast.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: GOLIATH AGAINST THE GIANTS; Brand: Sinister Cinema; Review: Great transfer, so-so movie; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Shakespeare's An Age of Kings: (Richard II / Henry IV / Henry V / Henry VI / Richard III); Brand: Robert Hardy; Review: A must for fans of the "Bard". I turned this on while I was working on the computer thinking I'd listen to the first play, Richard II, while I was working. After about 10 minutes I turned off the computer and gave this series my full attention. It was quite immersive to see these plays one after the other with the same actors playing their roles. Not only are the leading roles impressive but character roles are portrayed with love and affection, especially characters like Falstaff, Bardolph, Pistol, Mistress Quickly, and many others. A great deal for the price!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Stunt Man VHS; Brand: Peter O'Toole; Review: Quite simply a tour de force performance by Peter O'Toole as a "do what it takes to get done" movie director. One of his best roles, right up there with "Lawrence of Arabia".; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Master of Ballantrae VHS; Brand: Errol Flynn; Review: The last decent swashbuckler by Flynn. Not classic Flynn but good enough and nice production values.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Manila Calling (1942); Brand: Carole Landis; Review: Classic early WWII propaganda film of small band of American guerilla fighters. Simple story with lots of action and good cast especially tough guy Lloyd Nolan. Nice companion piece to "Bataan" also with Nolan. Turn off your brain, cook some popcorn and enjoy.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Combat!: Season 2; Brand: Vic Morrow; Review: The 2nd and 3rd seasons are my favorite. Great guest stars, directors, cinematography and LEE MARVIN!!! (2nd season); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sword of Doom VHS; Brand: Tatsuya Nakadai; Review: Story is a bit choppy but the mood and action dominate in this great samurai film.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lust for Life VHS; Brand: Kirk Douglas; Review: Actor Kirk Douglas and Director Vincente Minnelli at their absolute best. Supporting cast and production values are nothing less than superb. Nice transfer.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Quatermass Xperiment VHS; Brand: Brian Donlevy; Review: Great early Sci-fi/Horror that helped spawn Hammer Studio's great horror films. Great storytelling and clever production make this a real treat. Now if they can only get the sequels on Region 1 discs.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Planet of the Apes Collection VHS; Brand: Charlton Heston; Review: I'm too biased to critique these films they're just too big a part of my childhood. I love these flicks and the Blu -ray transfers are stunning!! Enjoying them all over yet again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Devil's Rain VHS; Brand: Ernest Borgnine; Review: Now when I say 4 stars that's 4 stars in the sense that it's so bad it's good, if that makes any sense. What we seem to have here is "Green Acres", "Star Trek", and Tom "I fought the ALIEN and the ALIEN won" Skerrit vs "McHales Navy" and "Welcome Back Kotter". Yes folks it's Eddie Albert, William Shatner (PRICE-LINE-NUH-GOOOOO-SHE-AYYYYYYY-TER!!) and Tom Skerrit fighting the Devil himself, Ernest Borgnine, and his minions including a very young sweathog John Travolta. Witch-burning Salem type flashbacks, gooey-icky melting bodies and Hell-like imagery make this an over the top disgusting delight. Other familiar faces include Keenan Wynn, Joan Prather and Ida Lupino! (Poor Ida musta really needed the cash) This is as good of a print as I have seen.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Deadly Trackers / Man In The Wilderness; Brand: Richard Harris; Review: "Man in the Wilderness" is a well-done survival/action/adventure tale. Nice performances by Harris and Houston. "Deadly Trackers" is a vile, mean-spirited, and dreary actioner that is tough to watch sometimes. Very nice performance by the highly underrated Al Lettieri as a Mexican policeman, Al finally gets to play a good guy.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Monty Python and the Holy Grail / Monty Python's Life of Brian; Brand: Graham Chapman; Review: .....always look on the briiiiiight side of life....da-do, da-doo-da-doo-da-doo.....One of the best comedies ever!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Terminator, The; Brand: Arnold Schwarzenegger; Review: Turn off brain and enjoy the show! Nice big budget follow-up to Terminator.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A Hill In Korea (1956); Brand: ; Review: Neat little low-budget war film with great cast that was a much better film than I expected. Excellent cast really boosts this simple little tale of group of English soldiers that are cut-off and outnumbered during Korean War. George Baker, the always excellent Harry Andrews, Stanley Baker, Ronald Lewis, and Michael Medwin star with early appearances of Stephen Boyd, Robert Shaw, and a very young Michael Caine. Director of Photography Freddie Francis (always dependable) and ace editor Peter Hunt give the film a much bigger budget look. Worth checking out.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chinese Super Ninja VHS; Brand: Tien-chi Cheng; Review: I give it 5 stars in the sense that it's a 5 star film within the kung fu genre. Because let's face it aside from a couple of films most kung fu movies are a 2.5 to 3 at best. Plenty of action and decent Shaw Bros. production values make this worthwhile. The picture quality is fine and no problems playing the dvd. The only problem I have with the film is that the voice dub actors are truly horrible. If you're a kung fu movie fan you're gonna love it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beast Of Babylon Against the Son Of Hercules; Brand: Gordon Scott; Review: As much as I have a soft spot for Gordon Scott films this is pretty bad.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Lone Wolf McQuade VHS; Brand: Chuck Norris; Review: Now when I give this movie 5 stars I mean 5 stars within the Chuck Norris film genre. Let's face it I don't watch a Norris film for great thespian oratory or complicated/sophisticated plots and deep characters, I just wanna see the Chuckster spin-kick bad guys into oblivion. This film has lots of guns, an evil dwarf, more guns, explosions, even more guns, a bad-ass pet wolf, a bra-less Barbara Carrera (homina-homina wow wow!), Mexican bandits, and a whole lot of guns! And of course a "let's put down the guns and have a code of the Gladiator, mano-e-mano hand to hand duel with the main villain. Solid production values and a homage to Sergio Leone, Clint Eastwood (check out the name of the hospital Chuck picks up his daughter from) and Ennio Morricone are evident here and they work pretty good. Decent supporting cast with good ol' boys R.G. Armstrong and L.Q. Jones, a coke bottle bespectacled William Sanderson, and an over the top villain played by none other than "Kung Fu" himself David Carradine. Turn off your brain, get the testosterone flowing and grab a few cheap beers and enjoy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Drums in the Deep South VHS; Brand: James Craig; Review: Pretty decent Civil War flick.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Last of the Mohicans VHS; Brand: Randolph Scott; Review: Great old classic. Randolph Scott makes a great "Hawkeye" and Bruce Cabot is a truly evil Magua.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Gun Runners; Brand: Audie Murphy; Review: Much better than I expected. Nice take on the Hemingway story, it's no "To Have and Have Not" but a solid B-picture. Nice performances by Audie Murphy, Eddie Albert, and the always dependable Everett Sloane. Director Don Siegel always makes the most of his script, budget, and actors. I give it 4 stars as far as B-movies go.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Captain Apache VHS; Brand: Lee Van Cleef; Review: For Lee Van Cleef fans only.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Edge of Darkness; Brand: Mel Gibson; Review: Great adaptation of the British series. Mel is pretty intense and Ray Winstone is great.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sorcerer; Brand: Roy Scheider; Review: Stylistic remake of the great foreign film "Wages of Fear". Nice music from Tangerine Dream and solid performance from Roy Scheider make this watchable; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Marvel's Captain America: Civil War; Brand: Chris Evans; Review: These Captain America films are some of the best super-hero movies done. Dazzling effects and great action scenes. Nice introduction to the Black Panther and the new Spider Man actor is a hoot.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fox Horror Classics Collection: (The Lodger / Hangover Square / The Undying Monster); Brand: Laird Cregar; Review: Not so much horror films but more like chillers. Great version of "The Lodger", very atmospheric and good direction from John Brahm (who directs all three movies) "Hangover Street" is somewhat of a remake of "The Lodger" and is just as good. "The Undying Monster" is the only true horror flick of the three and is a pretty good take on the werewolf theme. These films remind me a lot of the great Val Lewton chillers of the same period.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Die Nibelungen; Brand: Margarete Schoen; Review: The five star rating is for the first of the two films "Siegfried". Very likable performance from Paul Richter as title character and visually stunning german expressionistic cinematography from director Fritz Lang. Nice fantasy/magical elements such as dragon and trolls really benefit the first film. The second part "Kriemhild's Revenge" sorely misses Richter's role and fantasy elements, but is interesting as a conclusion to the first film. The restoration is beautifully done and worth seeing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Adventures of Captain Marvel VHS; Brand: Tom Tyler; Review: One of the best movie serials ever. In the comics Captain Marvel was kind of a "goodie two-shoes" but not so here. He machine guns retreating villains in the back, throws a guy off a high rise building to his screaming death, and tosses bodies around like rag dolls. Special effects are pretty good for their time and Tom Tyler looks believable in the super hero tights (his "Phantom" serial is pretty good to) unlike the lardbutt Batman serial and pot-bellied Captain America. A must for movie serial fans and a good place to start for those who want to give old serials a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Day Of The Outlaw 1959; Brand: Robert Ryan; Review: More of a psychological western than actioner. Nice to see two big screen personalities like Robert Ryan and Burl Ives going at it.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Mercenary / God's Gun; Brand: Jack Palance; Review: "The Mercenary" is as good as Spaghetti westerns get that aren't directed by Sergio Leone. Great action, music, and style. Franco Nero plays his typical type role and Tony Musante is great, one of his better parts. Transfer and picture quality is fine and the price is right. The only complaint I have is on the cover they show a picture of Warren Oates from the movie "Barquero" instead of a shot from "The Mercenary". "God's Gun" on the other hand is as bad as a foreign (made in Israel) western can get, I can't even recommend watching it. I love Lee Van Cleef but this is a stinker of a stinker, right up there with "Captain Apache" (same awful wig as well). Buy this for "The Mercenary"; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Companeros; Brand: Franco Nero; Review: Top notch spaghetti western, stylish, good soundtrack, lots of action. Not in the same class as the Leone westerns but as close as other Italian westerns are going to get. Franco Nero is always a decent screen presence in this type of film, Thomas Milian is one of the better actors in this genre, and Jack Palance is..., well, he's freakin' Jack Palance. Definetely in the Top 20 of Spaghetti Westerns.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sign of the Pagan (1954) (Blu-Ray & DVD Combo) [ Blu-Ray, Reg.A/B/C Import - France ]; Brand: Jack Palance; Review: Jack Palance makes a great Attila the Hun and Jeff Chandler is always a good leading man. Better than average quality for this type of film, kind of pre-peplum. Directed by Douglas Sirk; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Rolling Thunder VHS; Brand: William Devane; Review: Violent and brutal little b-film that will keep you captivated. One of William Devane's better performances and one of Tommy Lee Jones first roles. Action scenes are well done and character actors James Best and Luke Askew make truly evil villains.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Billy Budd VHS; Brand: Victor Brooks; Review: Transfer could be better but the film itself is outstanding. Great first film appearance for Terrence Stamp, Robert Ryan excels at playing villains, Fine direction and acting by Peter Ustinov and good supporting roles for Melvyn Douglas and David McCallum; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cyrano de Bergerac / The Son of Monte Cristo; Brand: Jos Ferrer; Review: What a tour de force and over the top performance by Jose Ferrer. "Son of Monte Cristo" is a decent swashbuckler, for the price this is a fine deal for two films.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Street Fighter/Return of the Street Fighter; Brand: Hiroyuki Sanada; Review: Five stars within the realm of "Chibadom". For martial arts film aficionados only; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Detour; Brand: Tom Neal; Review: Great dialogue and story. Not much action but solid characters and a great performance by Ann Savage. Well done for a cheap B-movie; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Far Horizons; Brand: Fred MacMurray; Review: Great scenery and cinematography but not for the historical accuracy buffs. Heston and Donna Reed (damn she looks fine here) are good and William Demarest steals the show. McMurray is a bit of a stiff in this one.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Spy Smasher: Complete Serial 12 Chapters; Brand: Kane Richmond; Review: Without a doubt one of the best serials made. Non-stop action from beginning to end with more brawling (God knows how many tables and chairs were destroyed) and shoot outs than anything I've seen on film. Richmond makes for a decent leading man and the production values seem pretty decent for a serial.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Hydroponic Tomato Fertilizer 4-18-38 - 2 Lb.; Brand: Urban-Hydroponic; Review: I started growing hydroponics last year for the first time. I started with a popular brand of liquid nutes because they were the standard. During the later stages I switched to this fertilizer. Wow. My tomatoes and cukes were literally 10 feet tall. My basement was like a rain forest. Also, I transplanted my pepper plants to organic soil mix in pots. I have been harvesting peppers since March 2016 and I am STILL harvesting as I type this in November 2016! All I do is mix up a gallon of water with this fertilizer every 2 weeks. I've never seen pepper plants put out fruit for 7 months! I'm still picking Reapers, cayennes and banana peppers. I just moved to a new house and I'm getting ready to start again.

Germination is fine, but far before the 10-day mark this material cannot contain any water. Twice-a-day misting will not keep your greens alive. And twice per day is all microgreens should require. I still hope to grow without soil because I want to sell my greens alive and not harvested. But this grow medium is a fail.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

No way to differentiate my tomato plants, and I'll have to wait until my peppers have fruit to know what they are.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Patio_Lawn_and_Garden |

A warm welcome upon arrival, you're given a non alcoholic cocktail as you fill in the relevant paperwork for your visit and then your bags are taken to your room for you. As long as you remember the custom of tipping staff, they will do anything for you. Generally 2 dinars for restaurant waiters (about 75p) and 1 dinar for bar staff and they'll bring you drinks round the pool all day. Rooms were great - clean, spacious and well maintained. Be aware the air con is not turned on until the middle of June, whilst this wasn't a huge problem for us, it might be once the weather gets warmer in May. If you're on an upper floor you could just open the balcony door. Food was fantastic - a different theme every evening as well as the staples of pizza, pasta and salad. Great quality as well as variety. The a la carte restaurants are not as good quality in our opinion, very limited menu, but as its included in your weeks price you may as well go for the evening for a change of scenery! Pool/beach bars and the American steakhouse weren't open whilst we were there, but will open late May / June I would imagine as it gets into high season. The spa is well worth a visit and worth taking some extra spending money to go in there for a few hours, you get much more for your money than you would at spas at home! A lovely relaxing environment and definitely part of why the hotel gets its platinum rating with Thomson. The beach is a short 5 minute walk away and is a lovely stretch of sand, you could walk all the way to the port if you wanted to. Alternatively, it's only 5 dinars in a taxi to the port, a lovely little place that's worth a walk round during the day time. There's very little open in the evening due to the all inclusives taking away tourism from the area. This was our first time visiting Tunisia and we're already looking at going back in the summer as we were so impressed. Prices are cheap on this hotel at the moment due to the drop in tourism, nothing to do with the quality of the hotel so I would advise booking whilst prices are still low - fantastic value for money!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Martin s Brussels EU; City: Brussels; Review: My boyfriend and I stayed here on a two night trip to Brussels. We were immediately impressed with the look of the hotel with its sophisticated and impressive lobby area. We had a "cosy" room on the 6th floor which was just a nice size, fantastic views, comfy bed, nice bathroom, clean and well maintained. The room did have a smart TV but like other reviewers, I'm not sure it worked, however this didn't really affect our stay. Wifi is free but can be quite slow. The staff on reception were friendly and attentive and were more than happy to help us with any queries that we had. The hotel is a short 5 minute walk away to the nearest metro station which will take you into the centre of Brussels, so you can be there within 10-15 minutes; perfectly located in that sense. Obviously there are hotels directly in the centre of Brussels but personally I would have found that too overbearing. The only let down for us was the over expensive food and drinks. We were told breakfast at the hotel was 20€ each, we managed to do breakfast at the Grand Place in the centre of Brussels for €25 for both of us (and it was a decent breakfast!). Overall we had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to visit again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Metro; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: Booked the hotel through late rooms as we had booked a package at the Portland Hall Spa and wanted somewhere close by to stay overnight. Beware booking through late rooms: they give you no options about parking and the hotel clearly hadn't advised late rooms about the parking situation, so when we arrived to find there was no car park or spaces around the hotel without "pay and display" we were disappointed - it's the hotel's job to make sure that any websites they advertise through are given the correct information about their facilities! We were then told that you had to book a permit in advance, but obviously late rooms hadn't given us this option. The member of staff went to speak to the manager but instead of her coming to speak to us herself, she just sent him back with a message - very poor customer service. The member of staff just kept trying to pass liability saying "everyone usually books through groupon or wowcher" - no help to us at all! Aside from poor customer service, the hotel is well presented and the rooms are decorated to a high standard. In a great location, only a 5-10 minute walk away from all the main attractions on Southport seafront.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Crab Manor Hotel; City: Asenby North Yorkshire England; Review: Stayed here as an engagement present and wasn't disappointed after hearing family members rave about it! Slightly disconcerting when you try to find reception to check in - a note to others - it's right at the end of the corridor at the back of the building, not the front! We stayed in the Taj Mahal room which was beautiful, well maintained and lovely comfy bed. Private hot tub was lovely - dressing gowns and slippers provided so you could go outside, though nowhere to put them once outside so they got wet. The only downside was we had to make our own cover, it was raining when we arrived and we weren't provided with an umbrella so made our own cover which worked well. Lovely and relaxing though, and very private. Food and service in the restaurant were superb, couldn't fault it. Will definitely stay again, worth paying the money for a special treat!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bay Villas Resort; City: Port Douglas Queensland; Review: Had a great 6 night stay at Bay Villas. Staff at reception were always friendly & really helpful - particularly Vicki - who helped us book a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and even helped me with my sunburn by giving me some aloe Vera! Our apartment was quite small compared to others but was manageable for the 2 of us. Linen is changed halfway through your stay, that's something you have to accept in self catering apartments. They were well equipped and had everything we needed (though we didn't eat evening meals here). The bathroom had recently been refurbished and looked fantastic. We had a small problem with the shower but this was fixed quickly after we mentioned it. Location is 10 minutes from the main beach and around 15 minutes to all the bars and restaurants. Or a 2 minute drive if you're lazy like us! Parking was free at Bay Villas and there's also free parking available on the Main Street and the beach so you can drive if you wish. Laundry service is free and we made good use of it whilst we were here and we were in the middle of a 3 week trip. Powder etc is all provided for you. We didn't use the pool areas much but they were well maintained and one pool was heated. We were given a complimentary bottle of champagne in our room when we arrived to celebrate our honeymoon which was much appreciated :) Would definitely recommend Bay Villas if you're looking for a well equipped and well maintained good value stay in Port Douglas.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Whitsunday Apartments Hamilton Island; City: Hamilton Island Whitsunday Islands Queensland; Review: Stayed here for 4 nights as part of our honeymoon trip to Australia. We had a one bedroom garden view apartment and wow! The best place we've stayed in the whole trip. Clean, spacious, modern apartment with amazing views. Tip: don't pay extra for a sea view room - because of the cyclone lots of the palm trees are either missing leaves or gone altogether, which makes every floor except the ground floor a sea view room when it should be a garden view! Pool area was great - lovely views over the sea. Again clean and well maintained. There are two free shuttle buses which take you around the whole island and both stop outside the apartments making it easy to get everywhere within minutes. The only thing we were disappointed with was the total lack of acknowledgment by the hotel that it was our honeymoon. Nothing left in the room as a token gesture as other places we'd stayed had done, and were totally ignored by the girl who checked us in when we mentioned it was our honeymoon in conversation. On such a special occasion for us, a "congratulations" might have been nice. Otherwise, a fantastic place to stay and a wonderful end to our trip.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: PARKROYAL Darling Harbour Sydney; City: Sydney New South Wales; Review: Recently staying at the Park Royal as part of our honeymoon trip to Sydney and we're not disappointed. Friendly & helpful staff at reception. Very close to Darling Harbour and therefore lots of restaurants. Also close to the trains / buses if you want to go further afield. Rooms were spacious, modern and well maintained, really impressed with the bathrooms in particular. We initially stayed here for 3 nights before spending 2 nights in the Blue Mountains - when we left we mentioned about the building works and how they had disturbed us so when we returned for our final 1 night stay after the BMs, we had been given a harbour view room as compensation which was much appreciated. The hotel also acknowledged our honeymoon by giving us drinks vouchers, strawberries with chocolate and some champagne which was lovely :) Would not hesitate to stay here again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Waldorf Leura Gardens Resort; City: Leura Blue Mountains New South Wales; Review: Just returned from an enjoyable 2 night stay at the Waldorf. Easily accessible via train from Sydney central - once you arrive at Laura station it's about a 15 minute walk (downhill!) to the hotel or approx $11 by taxi. Lovely location, staff were always friendly & helpful. We stayed here as part of our honeymoon and we arrived in the room to find chocolates & wine which was a lovely touch. Rooms comfortable & well maintained. Breakfast was always good quality and plenty of choice. WiFi good. Would recommend booking the trolley tours bus which leaves from right outside the hotel and takes you to all the main attractions. Overall an enjoyable stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Fanssie Elegant Retro Vintage One Piece Stripes Geometric Monokinis Swimsuit(FBA); Brand: Fanssie; Review: I just got it in the mail, so my review is based on wearing it inside not to the beach or pool. The fit is feminine and the suit provides good butt coverage. In my opinion this runs large when referenced against the typical American Small-Medium-Large options. Because I have petite proportions, I typically fit a US small in clothing and medium in swimwear. I purchased a size large in this suit and it fit well. The drawbacks are the material (the color in the pattern doesn't seem as solid black, more blackish) and the boob support. This suit does not lift "the girls". Overall it is a nice design and the stitching is ok. It's a keeper.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: MiYang Women's Floral Lace Beach Bikini Cover-up; Brand: ; Review: The design is gorgeous and the lace detail is very chic.

Title: Warner's Women's Cloud 9 Underwire Lift Bra; Brand: Warner's; Review: I've worn Bras front Soma and Victoria's Secret, but my favorite are Warner's. This bra really feels like nothing on. I loved it so much (I originally discovered it at a TJ Max) that I ordered some for myself on amazon and one for a friend to try. It's comfortable, supportive, the straps are comfy, and the fabric is light.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: Fragile Things; Author: Neil Gaiman; Genres: thriller, poetry, crime, paranormal, fiction, fantasy, mystery; Review: Even though I love Neil Gaiman, this book, or collection of short stories, did not really work for me. Although I loved many of the stories; most of those I enjoyed I had already read in Gaiman's other collection "M is for Magic" (not all, but many), hence it's semi low rating. All in all his writing was still great, but I just did not fancy many of the stories or even the little hand full of poems thrown in the collection. Still though, I find myself excited to read Gaiman's "Trigger Warning"; his latest collection of short stories.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Creative Time and Space: Making Room for Making Art; Author: Visit Amazon's Rice Freeman-Zachery Page; Review: Reading Rice is so enjoyable -- she's intelligent, witty, informative, and always interesting. I just sat down with the book today and I'm already impressed with the way she and the other artists share what works for them. Rice has done a wonderful job of organizing and presenting the material, giving your brain a little spark here & there, or an interesting anecdote, so that reading the book is like taking a workshop you've always wanted to take, but YOU are in charge of the pace. I found that some of the ideas were helping me to build a framework for things I already knew, so that I can access that knowledge and make use of it. I finished the first chapter today and I know already that this purchase was money well-spent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Buy the book, read it and share it with everyone -- it's a lovely gift to give yourself. PS -- You don't have to be a knitter to love her first two books.

Breakfast was included which comprised cereal fruits and croissants and also included a hot breakfast too. Would definitely stay there again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Luxury Bahia Principe Ambar; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominican Republic; Review: Just come back from 2 weeks staying at the Ambar Blue. Is on a complex of 7 hotels so is very large. The rooms were cleaned everyday and the beds were made. Contained a well stocked mini bar. Had a safe. The rooms were a bit tired looking and could have done with some updating. Our first room had a leak in the bathroom ceiling so they moved us to another room. The rooms do not have sea views as is stated in the brochures. Reception staff were sometimes not very helpful. There was a language barrier between the English and they seemed to favour the Americans and Spaniards. We had 3 towels go missing, 2 at the pool and one in the room and it was reported but the staff didn't do anything about it. There was a several buffet restaurants which served all sorts of food, a lot of it was lukewarm and there were flies everywhere. There were also several restaurants which you should book as soon as you get there or you wont get a reservation. There is no health and safety as such, several people slipped when entering the pool and it was only on the second week that they put a sign up to say slippery. The daytime entertainment around the pool was very good but on occasions the music was very loud. The evening entertainment was good too but again mostly spoken in Spanish. Some of the entertainment staff kept asking for tips which was very annoying. The beach was lovely and you could go out quite far while still being up to your waist. The staff try and get you to join the Privilege Club and when they say it only takes an hour, one our friends did it and it took them 4 hours! Overall not a bad holiday and very relaxing but would not go back there.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Ibis Praha Old Town; City: Prague Bohemia; Review: Stayed there for 4 nights on 17th May. Receptionist was very friendly and pleasant. Spoke good English. We were on the 6th floor, room very basic but that didn't matter as we were only sleeping in it, shower was excellent, bed was comfy, maids came in every day to make the bed. Had TV which we didn't use. Only thing missing was tea and coffee making facilities, would have been nice to have that but we bought our own because we knew they didn't have any. Breakfast included - large selection of hot and cold food, was average, one day went to put toast through grill and it had all blue mould on the crusts, spoke to waiter and it was replaced straightaway. Pub opposite was excellent, beer and cocktails very cheap. About a 5 min walk to Lidl so you could stock up on whatever you needed. Location - Was within a 10/15 minute walk to all the attractions that we wanted to see. All in all a good stay and would use again for a long weekend.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Inn at St Peters; City: Saint Peters Bay Prince Edward Island; Review: Stayed 2 nights here during 9 day visit to PEI. Our "hotel highlight" for sure. Rooms exceptional, wonderful breakfasts included (with gf options). Stayed at hotel for dinner one evening - excellent. Very close to wonderful hiking at Greenwich. Highly recommend.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Harbour House; City: Charlottetown Prince Edward Island; Review: Wonderful rooms, great location (walk to everything in downtown Ch'town). Quite a busy place (even early in June). Limited availability of gluten free breakfast options was our only disappointment. Good value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Shaw s Hotel and Cottages; City: Brackley Beach Prince Edward Island; Review: Wonderful service from family at a great location. On site bike rentals very convenient for short ride to wonderful Robinson island bike trails. High quality breakfasts included, with good gf options. Stayed in hotel room (vs cottage) - very clean and good value in June. Highly recommended; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Le Bleu; City: Brooklyn New York; Review: Parking is a real problem. While they advertise as having available parking - the lot has only 10 spots and only available "first come - first served". As a result after an evening out we were out of luck, the hotel has no overflow provisions and street parking is sketchy at best - and hard to find in the local area (we ended up parking about 1/2 mile away). The front desk attitude was - "too bad, that is our policy". Great - you should clarify your policy to guests arriving and/or make overflow parking provisions with the hospital across the street. Room was ok but a little shoddy (holes in drapes). Breakfast was ok, but no gluten free options available (we ended up eating out). Overall experience was below average (at best) - we won't be back.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Crystal Cove Beach Resort; City: Tofino Clayoquot Sound Alberni Clayoquot Regional District Va; Review: Family of 6 (young adults) fit nicely into a 2 bedroom cabin. Wonderfully clean with 2 full bathrooms. Great amenities with no details overlooked by terrific staff. Great location with wonderful views. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Sebago Men's Clovehitch Ii Oxford; Brand: ; Review: I use boat shoes most of the time when I work on the water. I purchased this pair after reading a few adds for the shoes and they seemed to be what I needed. The sides of these shoes are lower that what I am use to and tend to fit a bit looser than my previous boat shoes. I like a shoe that holds my heel firmly when walking on decks and these seem to let my heel slide inside the shoe. They are ok, but I feel they are over priced for what you get. Other shoes that look similar I could wear all day without any discomfort but, I was unable to find a pair like it. I have not had the shoes long but if they prove to be better I will add the information to the review.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Fosmon DURA-FROST Smooth Durable & Flexible Slim Fit TPU Case Cover for Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 Tablet (Black); Brand: Fosmon; Review: If you live in a bubble, and every hard surface is less than a 6" fall, this MAY be adequate. You should probably bubble wrap the floor, though. Offered almost NO protection as the material is a loose fitting jelly silicone type, and there is simple not enough coverage on the sides and build up to protect the screen. I am lucky I had the Skinomi Tech Glass tempered glass screen protector, that appears to have taken the majority of the impact. It cracked, but protected the screen, which is the point. A screen protector isn't really designed to protect to this level, but thank God they over engineered THEIR product. Do not buy this garbage.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Chateau on the Lake Resort Spa Convention Center; City: Branson Missouri; Review: Very nice get away. Staff was very friendly and helpful. They have a movie theater that they will play show AFTER hours if you request. The pool is open 24 hours. The Sunday brunch should be marked as dangerously good. Dinning in style. Live piano being played during brunch. You feel like you will have personalized staff to help you. My cup was never empty and the person was there with refills. This is an excellent place to unwind, get away, or have simple family trip. You could stay at resort and have a very good time.

Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Dallas Near the Galleria; City: Dallas Texas; Review: I stayed here for 5 days so perhaps I caught the worst. GM needs to rethink the swans location. Next to breakfast area is NOT good. I witness daily children & adults play with the birds,not wash hands AND eat from the breakfast area. I am surprised they haven't has a bad outbreak. I reported to managers daily about the issues with kids playing in the swans water. We all know what the swans do in the water. Also, the pool & hot tub water looked wore at than the swan water. This was a business trip with some planned pool time. I wouldn't touch that pool if I was playing the survival! This location needs an inspection and quality control ASAP! I was surprise since it was next to the Galleria. Don't be surprised. Ohhh, I almost fogey they lost our dry cleaning for three day! Had to purchase new dress shirts due to bad information from front desk. Staff of this location needs major training. Front desk supervisor was helpful, nice but lacked authority.

Title: Home2 Suites by Hilton KCI Airport; City: Kansas City Missouri; Review: Parking is an issue. If you return back and the hotel is full then you will have to walk down the street.

You will see pets in the hallway, in the lobby and at breakfast. I enjoy pets but not to eat breakfast with.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

It was a very nice,clean and comfortable Hotel, with everything you need inside the Room to enjoy a beautiful holiday in Paris.You can even cook inside the room, store your things in the fridge or enjoy the coffee at the Balkon.It was very near to a bus station and also to a Metro station.Around the area we find many places to eat nice and there was also a Supermarket around.Also there was many Bakerys around,The Service at the Hotel,perfect,they clean everyday the room,everything was special-even the bed (it was a sofa bed) if you sleep otherwise, its very comfortable (we try first to sleep at the "normal" side but it was uncomfortable); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mercure Hotel Art Leipzig; City: Leipzig Saxony; Review: I was searching for an hotel who would be different from others,I founded that Hotel and I like all the pictures of it.After we had been there,I was surprised that a hotel can be so nice.Everything was great there,from the stuff to the room,from the design to the art details,from the bathroom to the space inside the room.We get for free an baby bed also.The stuff where always there for us,helping us in anything we needed.The rooms had everywhere design details and a very great art picture was on the wall.The room had an air condition ,the bed was great . Outside the hotel there was a super market so we buy anything we needed.Also inside the room they had a fridge and a safe.The Hotel is about 6 Minutes from the Train station and 10 Minutes from the center.The Hotel was very very clean!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pension Maedchenkammer; City: Berlin; Review: It was the second time we had been there, it was very good.The room we had was big, had everything we needed and of course the area is very interessting. The room had also a small bathroom with a shower inside, everything was clean.The owners was very friendly and helpfull.The prices are very very cheap. There are several ways fast to the Alexanderplatz by train or foot , and they are almost everykind of shops around,also 2 big supermarkets.There where two thinks we dident like, the wooden floor make some noises when you walk (so our child sometimes wake up at night) and the beds also make a few noises.That was the only negatives.I recommmend 100% this room if you are looking for a good,cheap,clean and comfy place to stay!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Fata Morgana Studios Apartments; City: Frangokastello Sfakia Chania Prefecture Crete; Review: What can I say about this Hotel Appartments? I think even the best words could not describe this Hotel. If you want a very very very good place in the area of Fragokastello to stay, stay here!! The rooms are super,the area big (olive trees aroound) a tasty Taverna, playgrounds , showers around.It reminds a first class Camping place with luxury appartments inside.Beautiful colours (blue-white) of the buildings, very helpful and kind owners.The beach is almost next to the Hotel and its one of the best in Crete probably one of the best all over the world!Thans to Fata Morgana for Relaxing in such a beutiful way!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kavousi Resort; City: Falassarna Chania Prefecture Crete; Review: Kavousi resort is a small family hotel about 3-4 minutes by car from the world famous beach of Falassarna.It was such a good place to relax, we enjoed the silence (no dogs, no partys, no chickens or any other noislee things around).It was great! The smell of the flowers and the unique view from the balcoon was excellent.The Family memberes where very kind and helpfull.The room was big and had all the equipment to cook .We enjoyed our stay and hope to visit it soon again, thank you Kavousi!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Katogi Averoff Hotel; City: Metsovo Ioannina Region Epirus; Review: Everything was perfect there! The Hotel was styled in typical design of the area but with a modern touch.

Title: Bamboo Bali Bonaire Boutique Resort; City: Kralendijk Bonaire; Review: Me and my partner stayed at Bamboo Bali to celebrate our anniversary and we couldn't have chosen a better place. Anno and Sebastian are the best hosts ever! The place is very beautiful, a tropical garden right in front of you! The cottages are great and you can tell they think in every little detail to make your stay there unforgettable. They have recently installed a jacuzzi, and we really enjoy it. I recommend this place for every in love couple. It's really fantastic!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Quinua Villa Boutique; City: Cusco Cusco Region; Review: Quinua Villa Boutique is THE BEST hotel ever. Everybody is very atencious and the rooms are great. The location is excelent (San Blás is so charming). It really helped to make my trip a special one!!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Seagrape Plantation Resort; City: West End Roatan Bay Islands; Review: I have stayed with Seagrape on early May and it was great. The hotel is a charming place, cozy and familiar, providing a goos alternative for those that, like me, do not like resorts. Its right on the fron of the ocean and althought its not a swiming part of the sea, it does provide great views. The swiming pool is very nice specially in the afternoon during the sunset. Its also pretty handy to have a dive center operating inside the hotel, they are very professional and take scuba diving seriously. I have only good things to say about this place. Hope you all have a great time overthere as well.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Skeleton Beach backpackers; City: Swakopmund Erongo Region; Review: I´ve been there for 4 days during May 2015 and I have no complains about it. It is a simple hostel, clean and comfortable and that offers a good breakfast, which certainly is a plus. Its about 20 minutes walking from the city center, on a quiet area, so you do sleep well. The lady that runs it is very nice and try to help you on whatever she cans. I recommend it; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zinga Backpackers; City: Livingstone Southern Province; Review: Its a very basic backpackers that could certainly do a lot do improve the facilities. However this is more than compensated by the people working there. They are so nice, so helpful, so smiling, that you feel at home as soon as you enter the place. It´s clean, has a hot shower and a good bed. I recommend this place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: SLA Boutique Hostel; City: Phnom Penh; Review: The hostel is new, clean, with friendly staff and a good breakfast. Its located on a great place, with easy walk to the market and mall. I really enjoyed my stay here. The only downsize is that the lounge area and kitchen dont are right bellow the rooms, and everything can be heard, so if you are a light sleeper, you will be diturbed. OBS - Extremely kids friendly hostel, so be prepared to be surrounded by them.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Heng Heng Hotel 2; City: Kratie Kratie Province; Review: The hotel is basic but very good. Spacius rooms, clean, and a good bathroom with warm water. They even give you some amenities as a free bottle of water and soap. After so many time in hotels that didnt eve had a toilet paper, I felt I was on a palace :-) The staff is friendly and even dont speaking a perfect English, they try to help you on whatever you need. The price is a little above the average (USD7 for a fan room, you can find places for USD5), but its worth. The wi fi works properly even in the room :-); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kampot Kenny s Guesthouse Bar; City: Kampot Kampot Province; Review: It´s a well located place, basic rooms, clean but a little dark. I stayed on one with bethroom inside. Kenny was not as nice as the previus descritpions. he was ok. Good internet connection on the room. Overall an ok stay....; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Golden Lotus Place; City: Luang Prabang Luang Prabang Province; Review: I had the best time in Golden Lotus. The place is really nice, with a big and clean room, very comfortable bed and a great shower. The location is very convenient, with easy access to everything in LP. However, what makes this place amazing is the friendly staff, who will make everything possible for you to feel at home. I highly recomend this place and have not enought words to thank Bill and the others for making my stay so pleasent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: InterContinental London Park Lane; City: London England; Review: Stayed at the IC over a weekend in early August with my wife and family and as Ambassador Members were upgraded. We negotiated a deal for an upgrade to the Club Lounge on arrival which was great value as it included a great breakfast with lots of fresh fruit (including raspberries, blueberries and strawberries) and unusually, a breakfast cooked to order!! Not served lukewarm from self servers as usual in most hotels. Enjoyed unlimited soft drinks, tea, coffee and nibbles all day, and a very happy "2 hour happy hour" with Moet and Chandon and all other beer, wine and spirits etc. Geat canapes and cheese, biscuits and other snacks. We found no need for a formal evening meal after our time in the lounge. Interesting to meet the Club Manager again, when we last met her, she was in the IC Sydney in March 2009. Great service again, thank you. Despite what might apear from above, we did go out, and the hotel is well located close to parks, west end and other tourist locations. Tip - travelled from St Pancras by tube and changed at Green Park onto line to Hyde Park. We walked so far underground at the interchange that it was quicker to get on/off at Green Park. Good quality hotel and I would use it again. Only negative comment, despite staying over a weekend (sat/sun) when we thought prices would be lower, quite expensive!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Thompson Hotel and Conference Centre; City: Kamloops British Columbia; Review: Stayed one night at this hotel on our journey from Vancouver to Jasper. Hotel was clean, tidy and ok for our stopover, with free car parking on adjacent car park. Little character in the hotel and places for relaxing as a group in the lobby were not available. Kamloops seems to exist as a stopover point for road and rail travellers and appears to have little to justify anyone stopping longer than one day. Dont bother with the breakfast deal at the adjoining resturaunt, sold at reception, better ones are available.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Barnsdale Lodge Hotel and Restaurant; City: Barnsdale Oakham Rutland England; Review: We stayed at the Hotel as a party of 8 over a long weekend at the start of the winter half term. It was great to leave home (in Derbyshire) mid morning and be at the hotel before lunch, with no airport hassle etc. The hotel is situated in a quiet location close to the lake and near to Oakham and Stamford. Our experience matched many other reviewers in that the staff were very helpful and looked after us very well over the weekend. Our special thanks go to Paul, General Manager, who resolved two minor issues to our complete satisfaction. He also drew our attention to the "2 for 1" offers book, and stamped them up at the hotel. This saved us jointly, about £60, in our visits to Burghley House and Barnsdale Gardens. We were on a half board package which meant we could choose anything from the evening menu, and were pleased to discover this included side orders at no extra cost and tea/coffee. All food was prepared to a high standard and the steak and halibut options were great. Bathrooms have been refurbished and the showers, with remote control, were first class. As the hotel was busy, as a party of 8 we sometimes found it difficult to find somewhere to relax as a group in the lounge area. I accept this would not have happened if we had visited as a couple. We suggested to Paul that a larger lounge area might add to the amenities of the Hotel. Overall, we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Bouganville Playa; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Stayed at the hotel over a weekend in early May with my son on his stag weekend. We arrived and my first impression was a large concrete construction, perhaps a typical spanish hotel. Inside there was a large lobby and whilst our rooms were allocated we were provided with a welcome drink. Rooms were perhaps a little basic but were clean and a decent enough size. Disappointed there was no tea/coffee maker in room and that in-room safe was an extra charge. Room 705 was in an ideal location and quiet, on a high floor and well away from lift and any air-con units. Breakfast was OK although we did not find the fresh fruit and cava until the last day of the holiday. Cooked breakfast a bit disappointing considering how many Brits were in hotel. Location was perfect for our weekend. Across the road was the Star Bar, run by ex-pats who were friendly and served decent lager. Good quality all day breakfast at 2.50 euros, much better than the hotels. Turn left out of hotel to great italian restaurant with meal deals before 7.00pm and continue to St Eugens bar for evening entertainment with great compere and english acts. Turn right out of hotel and in about half mile in middle of all the nightlife you could want. Lots of other bars, restaurants, and shops in nearby area. No specific complaints and we all enjoyed (and survived) our weekend. Perhaps would have liked a more spanish experience, but hey, the sun shone and the beer and company was good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eremo Gaudio; City: Varenna Lake Como Lombardy; Review: This is a strange hotel in many ways. Access for cars is up a narrow steep hill, many rooms are located on a lower level than reception/ dining room, there is an upper seperate part to the hotel about 50 metres higher accessed by 2 (yes 2) scary funiculars, and, there is a small chapel in the upper building. That said, this is the most wonderful place to have breakfast or dinner on the terrace overlooking Lake Como and Bellagio. Breakfast was disappointing. Varenna itself is about 10 minutes walk away and is a great base , not to busy and quite traditional. Take a boat trip from the town to all the other wonderful towns on the Lake. The 12 euro day ticket gives access to all towns in the middle of the lake and is the best buy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Scala Stiegl Hotel; City: Bolzano Province of South Tyrol Trentino Alto Adige; Review: We had never heard of this hotel when we planned our trip to Bolzano! The plan was to stay at the Four Points Sheraton for a one night stopover on our way to Cortina. However when we arrived, there had been a fire at the Sheraton so they booked us into the Scala in town. My initial reaction was disappointment as the Sheraton looked good and the Scala looked much older. But when we calmed down, we realised we had free outdoor parking (20 euro at Sheraton), free breakfast, and a great location in town. We probably would not have bothered going into Bolzano from the Sheraton, and would have missed a wonderful old world town centre. It also meant on the day we left, we were able to visit the "Iceman" museum which was a bonus. So in the morning, having a good breakfast, in a pretty garden, warm and under a big umbrella, near to the swimming pool, we decided that fate had smiled kindly on us. If we come back to Bolzano, we would stay here again rather than on the fringe of town like the Sheraton.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Meuble Villa Neve; City: Cortina d Ampezzo Province of Belluno Veneto; Review: What a great location, slap bang in the middle of Cortina, with free parking! It was easy to walk around the pedestrianised street in town and find somewhere to eat, even though in May the town was fairly quiet in mid season. Family run business and very friendly! Great prices and a warm welcome.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Eastwood Hall; City: Eastwood Nottinghamshire England; Review: We were invited to a birthday celebration on the night of 20 June and our host had hired a room and live band for the event. As we were planning on staying late we had also booked a room for the night, and got a good rate. Checked in to our room on arrival and were pleased to see the hotel had been refurbished to a high standard since our last visit. Good quality room fittings and a comfortable bed, safe, fridge and tea/coffee in the room. Quite a long walk from reception which could have been a problem if we were older, but in view of all the events taking place in the hotel that night it was a good location for a quiet night when we eventually went to bed. Our party room was ideal and the food was good. A perfect location for the event. I must thank the lady at reception who was kind enough to print me a document I needed for the following day and which saved me from having to return home to do so. After a good nights sleep, we went down to breakfast (again the new room layout and decor is much improved) where we enjoyed a friendly welcome and an excellent breakfast with plenty of choice. My only slight moan would be the lack of bread rolls or french bread. Loads of free parking outside. Didnt have time to use the leisure facilities but I know from previous visits that they are to a high standard.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Villa Europa; City: Gargnano Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: We stayed here for two nights with friends on our way back to Bergamo Airport after a tour of northern Italy. The Hotel looked OK on the website and met all our requirements on paper. When we got there it was ideal. Quiet village, very Italian about 10 minutes from the little harbour. Our room had a great view of the lake with a large balcony and was clean and comfortable. The family who ran the hotel were friendly, helpful and made us most welcome. There was an off road car park (free) and all our food was wonderful. Lake cruises were available from the harbour and this is the best way to see some of the more touristy towns where driving and parking can be a nightmare!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Dunkery Beacon Hotel; City: Wootton Courtenay Exmoor National Park England; Review: First of all a big public thank you to Beccy and Derek for making us so welcome to their home. We stayed 5 nights with my wife's sister and her husband and explored Exmoor and its surroundings. On arrival we were welcomed with a pot of tea and flapjack. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. Next morning (and every morning) we had a fantastic breakfast cooked to order, and hot toast at the end of the meal, not put on the table at the start of the meal and cold when eaten! Perfect location in a small village with enough places nearby for an evening meal. We ate three times at The Lion in Timberscombe, a small friendly pub with good reasonably priced food. We all agreed if we come back to Exmoor, this is where we would love to stay again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Atlantica Grand Mediterraneo Resort Spa; City: Ermones Corfu Ionian Islands; Review: If you have a busy, stressful job and are looking for a relaxing holiday in a good quality hotel then this would be the place for you. No children either, which makes for a quiet pool and surroundings. The hotel is built into a hillside with most rooms below the reception/dining/bar area and a few rooms on a higher level. As they are single storey, often with only one or two adjoining properties this makes for a quiet life. You have to be fairly mobile as there are very few level walks, most of the time it is steeply up or down to get where you are going. Clearly no expense has been spared in creating an exceptional quality hotel with modern large bedrooms, with a perspex balcony rail, and a fantastic bathroom, with a seperate bath and shower. The public areas, including the leisure complex and pool are all modern and high tech and well maintained. Free wifi is available in public areas. Books can be exchanged in a library near reception. Both breakfast and dinner were buffets and offered a wide range of choices which should suit everyone. Entertainment at night was centred around the bar with the usual offerings including greek dancers. The Thomson Team were keen and helpful, without the usual hardsell of trips. They offered a programme of organised free events throughout the week including 2 local walks, which turned out to be quite strenuous. If you fancy a day out, go to Corfu Town on the local bus which stops outside Reception, from where tickets can be bought. Cost is 2.2 Euros each way. All hotel staff are well trained and motivated and work hard to provide an excellent level of service. But, as we have both recently taken early retirement we did not really need to unwind and felt the hotel was too isolated. We always enjoy a stroll out at night and there was simply nowhere to go. This was not the Hotel's fault, we should have done our homework more carefully! There were of course the niggles touched on by other reviewers: a) the funicular was so slow and frustrating and the hotel missed a trick in not putting in two counterbalanced cabins in when it was built, probably not possible to change it now. Plus Al Murray's friends were quite keen to remind people of the rules, ie how many persons could fit in! We ended up riding up and walking down. I hate to think what we would have done had this been broken or had it rained hard, it was a 200 metre walk from our room. b) the beach was quite scruffy and pebbly and water quality was not always good. c) this is the only 5 star hotel we have stayed in with such a mean pool towel policy. Only 1 towel each, and only 2 changes permitted in a week. Most people reserved their pool sunbeds when they came up for breakfast but this didn't seem to cause problems and there were always enough beds to go; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Easedale House; City: Keswick Lake District Cumbria England; Review: Each year we have a boys (and old men!) walking weekend either in Snowdonia or the Lake District. Sometimes we have stayed in dives so this year we looked more carefully at where to stay. We did not want to stay at last years Keswick venue again, so based on TA reviews decided to stay at Easedale House. Good choice and easily the best b&b so far! Fantastically clean and looks like it has recently been refurbed. As mentioned in many reviews, the Lemon Drizzle cake was great and it was good to have packets of biscuits each day. Free wifi too. (As I have said before, the bigger, more pretentious the hotel/b&b is, the less they provide or charge you for) We arrived at 9.00 pm after a long drive and were made very welcome and shown up to our rooms. There was a small form on which to order breakfast which saves time the next morning. Breakfast was very good with an excellent cooked option after the usual juices and cereals. Whats more, the fire was on and there were tablecloths and cloth napkins, not paper ones. Bedrooms had flat screens tvs, good quality towels and bedding and shower gel, shampoo and bars of soap. Tea and coffee and hot chocolate sachets. The residents lounge would have been useful if we had decided to stay in. Whilst there is no car park, as at the vast majority of such establishments in Keswick, we had no problems in finding on street parking nearby. The location is perfect for the town centre which was still lively even in late October. Also there are a number of excellent walks which can be accessed from the town centre. All of us enjoyed our stay and we would return here if staying in Keswick again. Our only minor gripe was that one person thought his bed was a little hard.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NH Waalwijk; City: Waalwijk North Brabant Province; Review: Stayed here for four days in April whilst on a Leger coach holiday to Holland. First impressions were good and whilst we arrived fairly late at night, the Hotel got us all booked in and in our rooms quickly. Next morning we were given a decent self service breakfast, although we were segregated from other hotel guests, as seems to be the case with coach parties. The Hotel was fairly remote and judging by the small number of cars on the car park, probably survives on its coach party clients. It's a modern hotel with good public areas and a decent bar and restaurant. What got on our nerves by the end of our stay was the poor room cleaning and servicing. Tea/coffee not restocked, cups not washed, toiletries not replenished (including the very small bar of soap), and towels not always being changed. Although the Hotel is rated as 4 star it's probably 3 star. All staff were good, special mention to the blonde lady who looked after breakfast, excellent!; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Giulietta e Romeo Hotel; City: Verona Province of Verona Veneto; Review: I can see why this Hotel is rated so highly by visitors. We booked on the basis of other Tripadvisor reviews and were not disappointed. Perfect location for the Arena, Old Town, River and everything. Staff very friendly, breakfast great and room smart, even if a little small. Travelled with BMI Baby to Verona Airport. If there are four of you, its cheaper and quicker to get a taxi direct to the hotel from the Airport. If you use the shuttle bus this only goes to the rail station and then you still need a taxi into town as its too far to walk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Villa Europa; City: Gargnano Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: We visited Gargnano and the Hotel Europa again this year and were not disappointed. Its still a family run property in a delightful old village. This year we had time to visit the swimmimg pool which is at the family's other property about 50 metres down the road. Its in a wonderful historic terraced garden setting, and I did something I have not done before, eat a cherry direct from the tree. Rooms have air conditoning and a safe and as before the free car park is very welcome. Enjoyed our breakfasts and thanks to the lady who cooked our eggs to order and made great coffees for us. Happy to stay again when we revisit the area.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Alpina Dolomites; City: Alpe di Siusi Castelrotto Province of South Tyrol Trentino Alto Adig; Review: We stayed here early in June as part of a family group celebrating our daughters special birthday. The Hotel had been on our "to visit" list after spotting it in a travel magazine. Looking it up on the internet confirmed our interest and the birthday gave us the ideal opportunity to visit! It appears to have been open about 2 years and has been built to a high specification. First you do need to hire a car to get here (or a taxi) as its in a fairly remote location in a largely traffic free area. Sat nav is also a must and our Tom Tom got us to the hotel without any trouble. Our visit was in the "low season" and we got the lowest prices which coupled with a low Euro rate meant it was better value than in the ski season, but its still quite expensive. What you get for your money is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in anywhere! The room was large with the most fantastic mountain view. Top class fixtures and fittings and a wonderful bathroom. We had the half board option and could choose anything off the menu!!! with no extra charges if we wanted a side order. Top class food and served by staff who were friendly and well trained. The spa had a large pool which included a hot outdoor area and treatment rooms were luxurious. Free parking was included in the underground garage. We will visit again and would recommend the hotel to anyone.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sunnyside; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Picked at random from the internet. Great place to stay in Llandudno. Reasonable price, clean, friendly owner, great location. Will stay here again on next visit. Walked past here on many visits, never been in before, and my faith in british b&bs has been restored !; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sheraton Fuerteventura Beach Golf Spa Resort; City: Caleta de Fuste Antigua Fuerteventur; Review: Looking for some winter sun in October, we thought we would give Fuerteventura a try. Never been before so we were not sure where to stay. Family suggested Caleta de Fuste was fine. OK then, where to stay? The Sheraton stood out, both as a five star hotel and a brand we had used before. When we checked out prices it seemed competitive and we opted for half board. So we booked and went wondering what we would find. We were not disappointed. It was one the best hotels we have ever stayed in. Wonderful large rooms with comfortable wicker chairs on our private balcony. Private grounds with plenty of sun beds, nice pools, and free towels. Easy access to public beach through security gate. Good choice of food at breakfast and dinner. Really enjoyed the weather on the Island and would love to go back the escape the English winter. Only minor grumble was that access to the Spa was subject to a fee. Never been to a hotel where guests could not use indoor pool free of charge.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton La Caleta Resort Spa Costa Adeje Tenerife; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Is; Review: After a long cold winter, my wife and I decided a week in the sun was needed. I had been to Tenerife once before on a stag weekend so was not really able to recommend a suitable hotel. We had a look on TA and plumped for the Sheraton, which had a good rating and a brand we recognised. We had only booked a standard room, hoping to get a free upgrade, or pay for one if necessary! As the hotel was full this was not an option and we settled in a side view room, a bit disappointed with our gloomy balcony with limited views from the second floor. We had asked the hotel to let us know if a better room became available. They offered a full sea view room on the fourth floor. However this was 80 euros per night extra and the room itself was exactly the same. So we declined and stayed where we were. The room grew on us. I have to say the way the hotel is laid out, and the terracotta colour, does mean that some rooms inevitably have a dark balcony with a poor outlook. I assume this is to avoid the flat sided concrete monoliths of some Spanish hotels in the past. Room itself was very good with large bathroom. AND tv had English channels bbc 1 & 2, itv 1, 3 & 4! Having got my moan out of the way, everything else about the hotel was great, for us anyway. It is in a very quiet area with a good local restaurant (Jade Stone), bar, shops, and supermarket within 150 metres. Other restaurants were available at La Caleta, an easy 15 minute walk away. The pool areas are spacious with plenty of sunbeds and free towels. Have a go on the crazy golf in the grounds, free and fun. Easy access to the coast path through the garden gate which goes all the way to Los Christianos, if you are up for it. We only had the B and B deal and that suited us best. Plenty of choice at breakfast and the best fresh orange machine I have seen. Good staff and comfortable surroundings. The foyer, reception and terrace bar areas are all luxurious and impressive. Free wifi and use of hotel computers off the lobby. Take advantage of the offer to have a free day in the Spa. Great experience and very quiet on our visit. Local buses, 250 metres to stop, are frequent, comfortable and cheap. Seems to be a flat fare policy eg 1.8 euros to Los Chris and free walk back! Full marks to the hotel for their fixed price taxi deal. Eg 27 euros to airport with voucher. Saves any fears of rip off. All in all, comfortable relaxing hotel well worth a visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sunnyside; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Decided at short notice to have a walking weekend with my son in North Wales. Having stayed at the Sunnyside before I knew this would be ideal. Rang Ray (proprietor) and as there were no twin rooms available, he kindly put us up in 2 single rooms at the same price. Weekend started well as when we drove into Llewelyn Avenue, a car pulled out in front of us so we had a parking space in front of the property! Result. Sunnyside is well maintained, clean with comfortable beds, good quality bedding and towels. Rooms have a decent tv, and tea/coffee making facilities. Breakfast was good with a properly cooked individual breakfast, which was hot! Friendly staff and a perfect location in the town centre. Would I stay here again - most definitely!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beachcroft Bed Breakfast; City: West Bay Bridport Dorset England; Review: Chose to visit Dorset for a few days and decided to visit West Bay, so we could see the "Broadchurch" filming locations and enjoy the Jurassic coast prior to visiting Guernsey. Looked at the b&bs in town and based on the Beachcroft website and TA reviews decided to stay here. Good choice. Very clean and well maintained under the personal supervision of the owners. Lovely comfortable bed and fantastic cooked breakfast. Free wifi. Dont forget your bus pass if you have one. Great top deck doubledecker rides from the village to Bridport, Lyme Regis, Dorchester and Weymouth without the hassle of driving and parking. Small supermarket within 50 yards for all your food and newspaper needs, and plenty of places to eat including fish and chip kiosks around harbour. Great value and a standard all b&bs should aspire too.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Fermain Valley Hotel; City: St Peter Port Guernsey Channel Islands; Review: We were invited to accompany our inlaws to Guernsey to celebrate their Ruby wedding at the hotel. That meant we did not do our usual research on hotels available so booked somewhat blindly after a quick look on the hotels own website. On arrival we were allocated Room 32 which was great. Top floor of the main hotel, large balcony looking down the Fermain Valley to the sea. Decent size room with lots of nice touches such as, fudge, water (replenished), slippers, dressing gowns and fruit. However as mentioned in other reviews, fridge did not work, nor did bathroom extractor fan. We did not report them to be fair. Hotel is in a wonderful position in a quiet location. This is however down a very narrow lane which can be trciky if you meet another vehicle. After one trip down we decided to park at the Venue off the main road and walk down through the landscaped gardens. Food was good although the evening choice was a little limited. We were a little disappointed with some dining room staff members attitude if we asked to sit at a table of our choice, rather than the one they had allocated. Sulky looks and service without a smile. Grow up please. Overall a great experience and a wonderful island to explore. It reminded us of Cornwall/Devon about 40 years ago. Happy to come back to this hotel if we return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: GF Gran Costa Adeje; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: Decided to have a November break in the sun away from the English winter. Where to go? The best option appeared to be the Canaries, four hours flight due south, guaranteed sun, reasonable prices and no jet lag. We choseTenerife, based on previous visits. Which hotel? We wanted to stay in Costa Adeje this time and the Costa Adeje Gran ticked the boxes, and had been stayed at previously by other family members. The Thomson half board package seemed the best deal, and as the hotel is now in their A La Carte book we got taxi transfers and seat booking included. We agreed to upgrade our room on arrival to a pool/sea view and went up to the fourth floor. We quickly realised that the solid masonry balcony wall would prevent us from seeing much, so went back to Reception. They quickly found us a room on the third floor, which had the metal railing balcony which was much better. The hotel foyer is huge and this is where Reception, shops, bar and the venue for evening entertainment are located. As has been said before, evening entertainment is varied. A early evening pianist murdered many songs before the main act. We enjoyed the Eagles, Beatles, and jugglers/contortionists. Others including the in-house team, Musical Tribute, were poorer. There seemed to be plenty of sunbeds around the pools, including the quieter roof pool. Pool towels are free and changed on request. Rooms are a good size with most things necessary, including a fridge. Still no kettle, like to be fair most Spanish hotels, so take your own. Annoying that in-room safes have to be paid for! Pleased to find excellent tv, with BBC, ITV, CHANNEL FOUR and other English channels, including Sky News. Mealtimes were like living in an ant farm. This was the biggest disappointment of the holiday. Let me say first that the food at breakfast and dinner was good, plentiful with plenty of choice. When you went for a meal you had to find a table on your own, usually wait for the staff to clear it and reset it. Then it was into the melee to choose food. We found the smaller dining room, to the left when entering, to be quieter and more relaxing. For this reason, I don't think the hotel merits more than four star. Dining room staff worked very hard, with good humour, to deal with the large number of guests. Hotel location is good, with easy access to bus services and a small shopping complex with a supermarket. Buy a bono ticket for 15 euros if you want to use the local buses, especially if going to Santa Cruz or Los Gigantes. Reception have a leaflet with timetables. The bono gives discounts for all journeys, can be used by two people, and can be combined with cash to use up. All staff were excellent. Hotel undergoing minor work in places. Would we go to Tenerife again - island yes, hotel probably not. I think we would look for somewhere a bit smaller and quieter; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Sunnyside; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Just as good as the first two visits. Location perfect, with free parking outside if there is a space free. Friendly helpful owners/staff. Clean rooms with all amenities. Reasonable prices, and canned drinks available. Large lounge if the weathers bad. Excellent breakfast. Whats not to like, would we return - clearly we have. Will go back again following the refurbishment currently underway.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Cocoa Beach; City: Cocoa Beach Brevard County Florida; Review: Having been to Cocoa Beach before I knew this would be a good place to stay before our cruise from Port Canaveral. We looked for a stay, park and cruise deal and the HI Express one ticked all the right boxes. We arrived and were upgraded to a junior suite as IHG Members. The room was large with a comfortable bed. Plenty of free parking and close to Cocoa Beach pier and beach, restaurants and bars. So after a comfortable night, and a decent breakfast, we awaited our Port transfer. This went like clockwork both to and from the Port which is about 15 minutes away. As we had enjoyed our stay here, we booked in for a further 2 nights after the cruise. Thanks to Rosalind for sorting this out for us, and to all other friendly staff. As usual in the USA, free wifi, free computer and printer access, and free hot water/coffee 24/7. Lovely clean modern hotel. Pool and jacuzzi available. Would we stay here again - yes.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Orlando International Drive; City: Orlando Florida; Review: Stayed here on our first night in USA as an easy option to reach from Orlando airport. It took about 30 minutes and was straightforward. Modern hotel, just off IDrive close to bars, restaurants and attractions with lots of free parking. Feels like a business hotel with some holidaymakers as well. Good size clean room, with noisy aircon which we needed to turn off. Perfect for what we wanted and a decent breakfast next morning. Free wifi, free computer/printer access, and free coffee 24/7. We enjoyed our stay so much that when we returned to Orlando we booked in again for 2 more nights. This time we had chance to relax by the pool and jacuzzi. Would we stay here again, clearly we did.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn Manchester Airport M56 J6 Runger Lane North; City: Manchester Greater Manchester ; Review: Perfect location for a night before a flight. We stayed here in January prior to a morning flight to the USA, wanting to avoid a potentially difficult journey over the Cat and Fiddle. Modern hotel, nice clean rooms and friendly staff. Bar and restaurant onsite. Good price at £49. We chose not to have breakfast as we went across to the airport. Quiet and got a good nights sleep. Minor niggle, I probably missed this when booking but there is a £5 per night parking fee. Would stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites Ft Myers Sanibel Gateway; City: Fort Myers Florida; Review: The name of the hotel says it all. We wanted to visit Sanibel Island but hotel prices were excessive. So we stayed here as a gateway. Older hotel with smallish rooms. Didnt like the fact that on the first floor, other guests could walk past our room and look in our window, should they wish. Very surprised to find hotel in USA with no computer/printer access or free coffee 24/7 in lobby. Not acceptable in 2014. OK for one night stopover but wouldnt have wanted to stay longer. Perhaps we should have paid Sanibel prices and stayed there?; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Reykjavik Lights by Keahotels; City: Reykjavik Capital Region; Review: Stayed here as part of a short package holiday to see the Northern Lights. Couldn't fault the hotel in any way, except for the lack of a plug in the sink! Clean modern hotel, spartan inside perhaps in an Ikea functional way, but comfortable bedrooms with a great rain shower. Ok bedrooms perhaps a little on the small side, but we hadn't come here to stop in our bedrooms all day. Decent continental breakfast available on a buffet basis. Reception staff were really helpful in booking or rebooking our trips out.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Sunnyside; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Stayed here again for a night with both my sons, prior to walking up Snowden. We all love the town and having discovered the Sunnyside last year, we now wouldn't stay anywhere else. New refurbished bedrooms are great and as always we enjoyed our stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Salobre Hotel Resort Serenity; City: Maspalomas Gran Canaria Canary Islands; Review: We had looked at this hotel a few times but had always thought it looked a little isolated. Anyway, Inspired Luxury Escapes came up with a good offer in June which made us look again. Booked with them but the holiday turned out to be provided by Broadway Travel. Flights with Ryanair, now a more relaxed experience. When you check in you get a reserved seat and can take a second small bag into the cabin. The old scamble for seats has gone. Having read TA reviews we knew the hotel was up in the hills so instead of paying for transfers, we booked a car from the airport. Easy journey down the motorway with the Salobre turn well signed. Free parking at the hotel in a large underground garage. Met at Reception by Ana who was wonderful and gave us help and advice all week. Thank you. Our room was on the 10th floor which was quiet and had good views over the golf course, and down the valley to the sea and sand dunes. Large room with a wet room with rain shower and a bath. Twin sinks and usual toiletries. Free inroom safe, and for any English readers, a kettle!!! Massive double bed and a decent tv, with a strange on off system which we eventually mastered, after a couple of visits from engineers. Some english channels but not always great reception. Best wifi provision of any hotel I've ever stayed at. Seperate router in each room and you log onto that for great free signal. Balcony has 2 good chairs and a sofa. Only disappointing feature of room was no armchairs to sit and relax in. Breakfast and dinner was buffet style in a nice restaurant with options to sit inside or out. Really enjoyed starters and sweets at dinner with fantastic range of choice. Bit disappointed with main courses as long queues for chef cooked meats and vedge often not kept hot enough by their hotplates. Having said that we enjoyed all our meals. Didnt try the al a carte meals as we couldnt find a menu we both fancied. The pools and loungers are very good indeed. All are quiet and constructed to a high standard. The sunset pool area is particuarly well laid out with special tented beds for everyone to use. A visit to the spa was included in our package and we spent an enjoyable 2 hour session. We were glad we had hired a car as this gave us the opportunity to visit the mountains in the centre of the island along excellent roads with spectacular views, returning at night to a first class hotel. We also visited some of the local coastal towns with Port Mogan as a highlight. Overall this was one of the best hotels we have ever visted, constructed to a very high standard, with lots of facilities, and motivated and friendly staff. This hotel is ideal for anyone wanting a restful break, whether or not you are golfers, which we aren't.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Holiday World Polynesia Hotel; City: Benalmadena Costa del Sol Province of Malaga Andalucia; Review: Stayed at the hotel for a week as part of a family group of 6 adults and 1 child of one.We chose the hotel from Thomson website and on paper it ticked all the right boxes. Decided that as the hotel looked a little out of town, and not wanting to travel on a bus transfer with a small child, we would hire two cars. One would have accomodated us but not our luggage. So used our usual carhire company Economycarrentals to book two Focus sized cars £23 each, yes £23, pounds for the week, free second driver, plus a tank of fuel to pay for. We got the airport shuttle and transfered to the car hire depot. To be fair, not brand new cars showing end of season scratches and chips but mechanically sound vehicles. We paid 99 euros fuel for each car which was ours to use, to bring back empty (if we could). Free parking at hotel. Drove to hotel and checked in very efficiently. Our rooms were next to each other on the fourth floor. One of the best rooms I have stayed in, suite really. Modern, clean and well decorated. Big bathroom with twin sinks, separate shower and full bath, and bidet. Separate seating area and kitchen area with breakfast bar, table, chairs, sink, kettle, pots, pans, microwave and sink. Large bedroom with plenty of clothes space. Food was buffet style in a restuarant with plenty of choice and there was a special kids area with all the usual favorites.There was an opportunity to eat in one of the al a carte restuarants during the week, which was ok. Pool bar offered drinks and snacks with plenty of seats. We didnt swim in the pool but it was busy with lots of organised activities. There was a seperate water park/sports complex at the foot of a gentle hill, with shuttle buses available. We went in the spa once for a hour for a 5euro fee. After dinner there was the piano bar with a really slick service. Lots of entertainment, some good some average, but who cares when you are on holiday on a warm night with unlimited free drinks. We made good use of the cars to visit Gibraltar, Ronda and Nijas. And still had half a tank of fuel left, but this has to be set against much higher charges by some of the other car hire companies. So what were the bad points - hard beds (we folded up some of the spare blankets to lie on); no free wifi, that really isn't on with todays technology;and, sunbeds which were flat and didnt have any adjustment. We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday, and thanks to all staff who were helpful, friendly and efficient. Don't know what some of the moaners are looking for in a holiday? They must spoil their holiday looking for something to compain about. Would be more than happy to return.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ardvreck House; City: Ullapool Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: This is the best b and b I have ever stayed in! Wonderful modern rooms and bathrooms, decorated to a high standard, with good quality fixtures and fittings. Followed next morning by a cooked to order breakfast. Absolutely nothing to find fault with. Stay here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Leanach Farm; City: Inverness Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: When planning our weeks visit to Scotland we looked for somewhere near Inverness to start and finish our holiday. We travelled by train and hired a car from Arnold Clark (who transferred us from the station to their depot) so didnt need to stay in the city centre. Found Leanach Farm and booked in. We had Room 1, which overlooks the hills and the railway viaduct, which we thought looks more impressive than the Harry Potter one! Nice touches including, free wifi, free bottled water, sewing kit and small medical kit. Comfortable room and decent bathroom. We were asked to complete an order for breakfast on a card. This was served in an airy light conservatory and was very good. Lovely warm lounge with comfy chairs and a woodburning stove. Plenty of free parking on site. The owners suggested eating at the bar/restaurant just up the road. Dont be put off by the dour, unattractive exterior. Inside it is totally different, comfortable with welcoming staff. Decent menus and the light bites menu is good value. Enjoyed our stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Onich Hotel; City: Onich Lochaber Scottish Highlands Scotland; Review: We stayed at the Onich Hotel, attracted by the spectacular location and views over the loch and mountains. Superb. Most things about this hotel are good:: lounge, bar, restaurant, food, and staff. Where it lets itself down is maintenance. Our room 27 was badly in need of refurbishment. The bathroom extractor fan did not work. Although we reported this on the first morning of our stay, this was not repaired nor was there any explanation why not. There was mould around the bath/shower and peeling wallpaper in the bedroom which appeared to have had an attempt to stick it down with sellotape. The carpet had been badly fitted with frayed edges showing. To be fair, our friends room next door, was so much better, perhaps this had been refurbished. Had we stayed for longer than 2 nights we would have asked to change rooms. Overall, mixed feelings. Could do better, but would probably stay here again if a refurb had been done.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Movenpick Hotel Jumeirah Beach; City: Dubai Emirate of Dubai; Review: We came back to Dubai after a 12 year gap, and wondered what we might find. How things have changed and are continuing to do so. The Movenpick ticked all the right boxes for our stopover on the way back to the UK from New Zealand. We chose an Executive Floor room and the half board option. Quite honestly had we known how good the afternoon tea and happy hour (2 in fact) were, we need not have paid for an evening meal. Warning the double sprit measures are strong. Spent a couple of days around the hotel pool and although there is much building work going on, you get used to the noise and watching the tower cranes is entertaining. Lovely comfortable sunbeds, good towels and, a nice touch, fresh fruit and iced towels in the afternoon. The hotel is within a short walk of the beach, the marina, a Boots, a supermarket, the tram which links up with the Metro, and many other restaurants and shops. This was a pleasant change as 12 years ago, hotels tended to be isolated on the beach and a taxi ride was needed to travel anywhere. Much construction is still in progress all over town and there is often a heat haze. No complaints whatsoever about our stay, enjoyed it and would return; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Premier Inn London Gatwick Airport A23 Airport Way Hotel; City: Crawley West Sussex England; Review: When we looked at a short break in Strasbourg we were disappointed that the flight left from Gatwick which meant a 175 mile journey each way. But, this was somewhere we had always wanted to visit so we went ahead. Not wanting to travel down on the day of the flight we booked a nights stay which included 4 nights parking, for £78. Bargain really. We also went for the dinner and breakfast deal which allowed free choice off the dinner menu and a drink. As the most expensive main was about £16, sweet about £5, and a pint of lager £3.50, the breakfast was free! Usual Premier Inn rooms and layout with friendly, helpful staff. First night parking at the Hotel, and next three at the Summer Special Car Park with free transfers to the Airport North Terminal. Easy to find, if you put the post code into your sat nav. No compaints.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: InterContinental Mar Menor Golf Resort Spa; City: Torre Pacheco; Review: We were alerted to this hotel by a Secret Luxury Escape circular. Having already decided to visit this part of Spain for a family holiday, we were looking for a few nights stay in a good hotel. Rang the hotel direct who managed to beat the SLE price! Rolled up in our hire car to an impressive village with the hotel n the middle. Free and ample parking on the quiet roads around the hotel. We were given the top right room on the hotel photo. 401. Perfect for sun, and sunsets, and golfers on the 18th hole. Room and bathroom were first class. Enjoyed the breakfast included in our deal. Ate out at night including Los Alavares where there were good meal deals, about 5 miles away. Nice quiet pool and an indoor one which we only found on the last night. Good Spar supermarket next door to the hotel. Flew back from Alicante airport which is 1 hour 5 mins via the toll motorway (3.70€ twice) All in all a good relaxing hotel, unless there is a wedding on when it can get a bit noisy at night. Would return and recommend to anyone. Car essential.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Iberostar Anthelia; City: Costa Adeje Adeje Tenerife Canary Islands; Review: When we looked for a winter sunshine break, Costa Adeje looked the best bet for some guaranted sun within a reasonable flying distance away. We picked the Anthelia as during a previous visitto the area, we had asked to have a look round and were impressed. Our stay exceeded our expectations in all ways. Where to start? Our package gave us a "garden view" room which actually looked out over a quiet garden area and onto the sea. Bonus. In the room were all the usual amenities all provided to a high standard including two armchairs which meant we could both sit in comfy chairs. Fridge and safe, which was free, and operated by a card which meant not having to carry a key round. Some English tv progs including bbc 1 and 2 itv 1 and Sky news. Our balcony was on a corner which meant it was very airy and gave us views in two directions. Downturn service provided every night, which included two lovely chocolates. We had emailed the hotel to ask for a kettle and this was provided. So we had a cup of tea each morning - we are English! Our package was breakfast only. What a selection, every possible diet and taste was catered for, including cava and a fresh orange juice squeezer machine. Lovely big restaurant with outdoor seating area. Massive main swimming pool in a huge garden area overlooking the sea. This must be the best beach frontage in the area. Good comfy sunbeds and plenty of them, with free pool towels. The grounds were immaculate and maintained to a very high standard. Lots of little quiet corners where people could sit on settees or armchairs to read to chat. We ate out at night and found lots of restaurants within a short walk away. On return to the hotel we usually went to see the evening show at 9.30. Different types of show all lasting around 45/60 minutes. Varied but all were worth a visit. We had hired a car and we're pleased to discover the hotel had a free car park right at the front of the property, where we always found a space. Free wifi throughout the hotel. This is one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in. It's located in the upmarket area of Costa Adeje but anyone wanting a more lively scene will find it nearby. Great walks along the coast path in either direction. What could be improved - couldn't suggest anything. It's a perfect place to spend time in the English winter. Would love to return next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: St Hilary Guest House; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: Although we have visited Llandudno many times over the years we have never stayed at the St Hilary before or this far round the bay. We need not have worried. Wonderful place to stay with personal attention from the resident owners. Lovely bedroom with lots of nice touches, biscuits, chocolates, and rock on our departure day. Good quality toiletries in a classy modern bathroom. Really comfy lounge with a good range of drinks on an "honesty" basis. Breakfast was super and served to order. Special thanks to Howard for providing an early breakfast takeout so I could accompany my son on his zipwire experience. We loved sitting in the bay window looking at the sea and watching the world go by. Thanks also for the advice about dinner venues, the deal at the Empire was perfect for us. We even enjoyed the one mile walk into the town centre. Would we return, yes, and recommend to friends and family.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Queens Court; City: Exeter Devon England; Review: Stayed here for one night on a trip to Cornwall. Got a good deal from Travelzoo which included a 6 course tasting dinner. The dining room was very smart and the meal excellent. Breakfast in the morning was also very good, and served to the table red hot. No hotel car park but a public car park across the road. Overall a good deal. Little way out of the Town Centre but an easy 15 minute level walk. Bedroom ok but a few minor issues to resolve.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Alpina Dolomites; City: Alpe di Siusi Castelrotto Province of South Tyrol Trentino Alto Adig; Review: We revisited this Hotel, after a four year gap, and were just as impressed, both with the Hotel and the area. I wont repeat all the things I said then as they all still apply. It is impressive how the standards have remained so high. This hotel is in our alltime favorite top three places to stay in the world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inturotel Cala Azul Park; City: Cala d Or Majorca Balearic Islands; Review: After a number of years flying over the island to other destinations, we decided to visit again for a family holiday. We had not chosen a destination so just carried out a search on the Thomas Cook website. Up came the Cala Azul Park at Cala D'Or which seemed to tick all the boxes for a party of 6, including two young children, but was somewhere none of us had been before. We need not have worried it was perfect for all of us. Easy checkin, and a short walk to our room. Rooms are in 3 storey blocks and we had emailed ahead asking for adjoining rooms with a sea view in Block G on the third floor. Pleased the hotel were able to meet our request. Thank you. This made our holiday, rooms although perhaps getting ready for a refurb, are large with a separate lounge, bedroom and bathroom. Very useful kitchen area with a fridge, kettle, pots, cutlery, hob and toaster. Fantastic sea view in a quiet location. Large balcony with wicker seats and a table. Short walk to pools, bar - don't miss the happy hour. Our meals were served in the Esmarelda Hotel, again a short walk, and where the outside evening entertainment took place. Extensive buffets for breakfast and dinner. All staff were friendly and helpful. As we looked at the sandy beach and cove, I thought this is much nicer than the Caribbean and many more highly rated places, and only 2 hours from the uk. We all loved the holiday and will return.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Liverpool City Centre; City: Liverpool Merseyside England; Review: We had two nights here in early September prior to our flight to Ireland. After visiting the Anthony Gormley statues on Crosby beach, we drove to the hotel and parked on their car park. Plenty of spaces probably some people are put off by the £12 a day charge, but it is slap bang on the waterfront close to the Liver building. Smart modern hotel and a well equipped room with all necessary features. We paid a little bit extra to be able to use the Club Lounge and this was well worth the outlay. Tea, coffee, soft drinks all day, beer wine and nibbles early evening, and breakfast in morning. First rate. Perfect location for dock areas, historic venues and shopping. We would certainly stay here again next time we come to Liverpool. A lovely stay with helpful friendly staff. Thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pestana Miami South Beach; City: Miami Beach Florida; Review: Stayed here after a cruise with Celebrity. We did not choose the hotel ourselves but looking at the reviews we thought it would be fine for our two night stay. Transfer from the port to the hotel was easy but on arriving at the hotel at about 11.00 we found a chaotic situation in the lobby. To be fair quite a few other passengers had reservations and rooms were not were not scheduled to be available until 4.00. So we checked in, left our luggage, and went for a walk. Never seen such a mountain of luggage. The hotel is in a quiet location about two streets back from Miami South Beach. Wow. Good location also for food places, Lincoln Road pedestrian shopping mall, the beach and the Art Deco buildings. After our walk we were able to get in the room at about 3.00. The room was a good size with an excellent bathroom. Art Deco design and decoration and clean throughout. We paid for breakfast and enjoyed this both days. Watch out for the compulsory “service” charge, this gives you a bottle of water a day, use of the safe, and use of sun beds and towels on the hotel beach area, wether or not you want to use them. There are bigger and plusher hotels in the area but this was fine for our 2 night stay and I would be happy to stay here again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Burleigh House; City: Llandudno Conwy County North Wales Wales; Review: We have been visiting Llandudno for many years, and fortunately our children and now grandchildren love the place and all it has to offer. We try to manage a weekend most years. Our sons booked their accommodation but we could not commit at the same time, so when the time came to book their place was sold out. We looked on the websites and found Burleigh House had fantastic reviews so decided to book. Jules checked our arrival time whilst we were traveling down and on arrival Steve hopped in our car and guided me to a nearby parking space he had spotted. Fantastic welcome which we appreciated. The accommodation is spotless with wonderful decor and furnished to a very high standard. Lots of nice touches, such as newspapers in the lounge, earplugs in the room, an amenity kit, biscuits and good quality toiletries. Lots of high tech kit, lovely modern shower and quality towels. Jules and Steve work very hard to make sure your stay is memorable. Cooked to order breakfast and very close to the pier, beach, shops and restaurants. Have stayed in 5 star hotels which don’t match our experience at Burleigh House! There is always a difference between being looked after by the owners as opposed to employees. Just perfect, thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cabarfeidh Hotel; City: Stornoway Isle of Lewis Lewis and Harris Outer Hebrides The Hebrides S; Review: When we drove onto the car park and saw the scaffolding we wondered what our stay would be like. We need not have worried, although work is under way this is not intrusive and did not affect our stay at all. The Cabarfeidh is a large comfortable traditional hotel and we enjoyed our stay there. It is an easy walk to the town centre and harbour and made a good base for the start to our holiday touring the Outer Hebrides. Felt relaxed here and no complaints about anything.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Castlebay Hotel; City: Isle of Barra Outer Hebrides The Hebrides Scotland; Review: We stayed here on the last night of our Outer Hebridean tour, prior to an early morning ferry departure to Oban. Friendly welcome and a comfortable room with a fantastic view over the harbour, castle, beaches and later that night, the ferry which would take us to Oban the next day. We ate in the hotel and enjoyed our meal and the service. We were required to be on the quay (2 minutes by car) by 7.10am. The hotel restaurant opened early at 6.45am to enable passengers to take an early breakfast. Thank you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Harris Hotel; City: Tarbert Isle of Harris Lewis and Harris Outer Hebrides The Hebrides Scotla; Review: We really enjoyed our stay here during our visit to the Outer Hebrides. Traditional hotel located close to the ferry terminal and town. Good base for touring Harris. Lovely restaurant with good food and the hotel pub was a bonus.

Title: Gray Manor Hotel; City: Cholderton Wiltshire England; Review: Our daughter got married at the hotel on June 16th. What a wonderful day we all had. The food was scrumptious both at the wedding breakfast and the evening buffet, and also at the BBQ on the evening prior to the wedding. I cannot thank the staff enough for their kindness, patience, especially with the power cut during the meal. This was handled in a very professional manner. Thank you so much Grey Manor and Staff for making our day so special; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cairndale Hotel Leisure Club; City: Dumfries Dumfries and Galloway Scotland; Review: Decided to have a 2 night stopover on our return home from the Outer Hebrides and Dumfries seemed to be almost halfway home. None of us had been there before so it was a new destination. We had a very enjoyable day pottering around and looking at the Robert Burns museums and mausoleum. The hotel was quite large with a splendid leisure club. Our room was comfortable and everyone we spoke to was friendly and helpful. We had a dinner, bed and breakfast package which was a very reasonable price and the evening meals were excellent. Plenty of space to relax and a special thanks to Angels for arranging for a lovely bacon roll at breakfast. More than happy to stay here again next time we visit the area.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: 21 Grams; Brand: Sean Penn; Review: I can't stand this film. I couldn't get through the film the first time around. I've finally decided to sit through it (on my 3rd round) coz I don't want to waste the money I spent on it and there's nothing good on TV. Plus, I'm curious why Sean won an Oscar for it. The plot build sooooo slowly. The first 20 minutes are just jumbled-up plots that don't seem to be have any connections... but you wait and wait and wait for it to happen and it's maddeningly slow to come. It's worse than watching your bad dreams & trying to make any meaning out of it. If you're not particularly patient and love action movies, save your money and pass on this! I think Sean should have won his oscar for "I am Sam", but the Academy tends to give out overdues than current.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Unsolved Mysteries: Miracles; Brand: ; Review: I agree with previous reviewers, I think this is the worst set of Unsolved Mysteries in the series. I'm a fan of the other Unsolved Mysteries sets, but the content of this set is redundant, 95% of it has such heavy religious connotations that borders on fanaticism. Many of which involved seeing visions in some places that are now called holy places which, incidentally, are crowded with tourists and relics sellers. Sounds to me like a great marketing ploy geared towards the desperate and fanatics. If you're a moderate sensible person who would prefer miracle in the form of money falling out of the sky for the needy, or your departed loved ones sending you a message, you'd find less than 5% of this set entertaining. Go rent it or borrow it from someone if you're still curious about this set. If you can't speak 3 sentences without quoting the bible, run out and buy this set, you'll love it and praise the Lord it's created!; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Movies_and_TV |

Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Kingsland GA; City: Kingsland Georgia; Review: It is a nice room and everything worked. Beds were good and comfortable. The only item that I did not like was the breakfast was poor. Very little choice of items. No bagels, only loaf bread and cinnamon bread. One cold cereal and plain oatmeal. No fruit but did have empty bowl for fruit. Would be much better if it had a better breakfast.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Vacation Village at Bonaventure; City: Weston Broward County Florida; Review: It is a nice place but they aggravate you all the time wanting to sell you anything and everything of a time share. I own one and it was one of the stupidest items I have ever bought. It is not worth it and is very expensive to use. Suppose to own it but cost or it is almost as much as my full time home for a year and then when you arrive they charge you $25.00 for internet after I paid $800 in maintenance fees and taxes for the one week a year that cover utilities. Just another example of greed in the business world.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Corinth; City: Corinth Mississippi; Review: OK place and the AC did work. The wifi was spotty and it says on the web site hot breakfast but the only thing hot was the hot water. The breakfast was all but non existent. It had few choices and was only simple items.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Econo Lodge Inn Suites; City: Huntsville Alabama; Review: This place was really bad. We stayed here three days for a class. It was over 90 degrees outside and the AC barely worked. It was over 80 degrees in the room. I talked with two different people about it shortly after we arrived and they assured me it would be fixed. It was not and we roasted and they would not move us to another room. The breakfast was OK but nothing special. I will not stay in this place again since I noticed all the AC were old and few were putting water out from cooling the air so I think few works like they should. I know ours did not work and it was a miserable few days at this hotel. They said they had wifi but like the AC it did not work. We called several times and they said they would check it but it never worked while we were there.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hillcrest Lake Villas; City: Abita Springs Louisiana; Review: I really enjoyed our visit to Abita Springs. This is a very nice small town with some great restaurants. We dined at Abita Springs Cafe and Camellia Cafe in Covington. Both served very good meals. We also visited Abita Brewery and walked around Flatwood Nature preserve to see pitcher plants. We made the trip to New Orleans a few days to explore. Hillcrest was OK but nothing special. The bed sofa was actually more comfortable than the king bed in the mast bedroom. The internet only worked in a small area in the unit we had. This is better than some time shares where I have needed to go to an area outside the room to get internet but still a hassle having to be in the small are to get internet. If you are looking to get away from the crowds and hassle of cities then this is a great place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Days Inn by Wyndham Attalla; City: Attalla Alabama; Review: This is a older hotel but looks like kept up OK. The door lock did not work good and the internet did not work at all.

Title: Rodeway Inn; City: Buffalo Wyoming; Review: Stayed here on way back from Grand Teaton National Park. Was nice place and good location just off interstate. Breakfast was good and people nice and helpful. I would stay here again if I travel this way again.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vacation Village at Bonaventure; City: Weston Broward County Florida; Review: We had a good time but Bonaventure is not worth the price. The trip was fun but Bonaventure does not keep the place up for the money they charge for maintenance. We arrived and the first night the smoke alarm goes off at 10 PM. I call because it is the annoying beep then a minute later another beep for low battery. The lady knew what the problem was when she heard the beep over the phone. It was hrs before someone showed up to change the batteries. Then they aggravate you about the tour to try and get you to buy another timeshare when I do not like the one I have and think it is a ripoff.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: InterContinental Presidente Merida; City: Merida Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We got into downtown Merida without a reservation and found the Intercontinental online during a hotel search. We found a reasonable price, and drove over and asked them if they would match the price at the front desk. They matched the price, plus we got valet parking, breakfast and free wifi. Amazing! The hotel itself has an older feel to it, but it is elegant and the room was very well put together with mini bar, fridge and a safe. The comforter was soooo cozy! The breakfast buffet was huge and had some very delicious authentic foods. The staff at the front desk spoke English well and were very welcoming and nice. They gave us accurate directions and recommended some great places to eat. When we checked out, they gave us a coupon to stay again for free. We really loved this place and will say here again when we come to the west Yucatan!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Cabanas Tulum; City: Tulum Yucatan Peninsula; Review: My wife and I planned our wedding around the Cabanas Tulum and Bistro at Ziggy Beach. We had ben there a few times prior and fell in love with the place... There was a lot of anxiety about how we could pull it off (planning from the states) but let me just say that the staff at the Hotel and bar were AMAZING. Jose May who was the manager was sent from god to put my wife at ease and make the entire experience fantastic. Cabanas is RIGHT on the beach. I laid in the shade of the palm trees and sipped mojitos for two days while I watched my family members wander around with amazed looks on their faces because this place is so cool. I had to laugh every time they thanked me for showing it to them. We had the wedding right there on the beach and there were no worries, it was all very cool. Rooms: Super clean, opened to the surf and the king sized bed was like sleeping on a cloud. I work as a cop and I don't sleep well normally... I slept like a log every night! I am 6'6" I and fit on the bed with ease. The A/C blew nice and cool and all of the amenities worked perfectly. I had a ton of cash and put it in the safe and it was good to go. No worries at all. Food: We had appetizers, wine and a sit-down dinner after the wedding which was first class all the way. The chef did an amazing job. Please try the tequila shrimp tacos as an appetizer- to die for. The crème Brule for dessert was served in pineapple ring, and my taste buds stood up and cheered when it hit my tongue. We had an open bar. We had wine with Dinner. We had a tequila tasting which was personally given by Jose May who was brilliant and we all learned a lot until about the third shot of premium tequila, then it got crazy. Staff: So helpful- Shout out to Ferdinand, Rose and Adrian the luggage guy who helped my older family members get settled and all were just wonderful. The price was absolutely fair. If you have a chance to make it south of Cancun, check this place out, it is the most tropical beach I have ever been on and the entire experience was amazing. If I could give them 7 stars I would, but 5 will have to do-; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Palms Tulum Luxury Hotel; City: Tulum Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We stayed here a couple nights on a trip down the entire Yucatan from Cancun to Chetamal. It is not on the beach, but the rooms are well-appointed with full kitchen and dining area. The A/C blows cold and it is a nice retreat from being on the hot beach all day. They have a nice little pool and the staff are very genuine and friendly. The facility is very clean and well-kept. I definitely has a European feel to it which really works well with the whole Tulum vibe. If you stay, you are within walking distance to all of the little store on the main road and there are some great little authentic restaurants nearby that make fantastic food. There is a supermercado nearby also so you can buy food and beer and store it in the large refrigerator in your room. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking to stay at a nice clean place off the beach.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Cala de Mar Resort Spa Ixtapa; City: Ixtapa Zihuatanejo de Azueta Pacific Coast; Review: We landed in Zihhuatenejo and rented a car from the airport-The drive was about 30 minutes thru Zihua up to Capella, make sure that you go all the way thru Ixtapa Hotel zone 1 because you need to follow the highway a little further to get to the resort in Hotel Zone II. If you go into Ixtapa it is easy to get back around to Capella by following the signs to "Playa Linda" so no big deal. The resort is almost hidden along road to Playa Linda on the elevated ocean roadway, with no road sign indicating the entrance only a small set of stars on the yellow front entrance indicating "Capella", so it may take a bit to find. If you are driving from the airport in Zihua along 200 you will have to pass the resort, make a u-turn and come back around on the shore side of the road. Club med and Ixtapa Azul are past Capella so if you get there, make a u-turn, take it slow and keep your eye on the right side of the road and you will find it. Security is good out front and they will check you at the gate each time you enter- I personally like that. Arriving inside we were greeted by Andres who was a pro [super cool] and made us feel right at home checking us in with a chilled strawberry juice and then escorted us to our 6th level room. The rooms have an AMAZING view, the AC is super COOL and a each room has a small private pool to cool off in. (See pics) We had a tremendous amount of privacy on the 6th level so my wife's "unique" sunbathing was not a privacy issue. Valet parking is free --but we tipped- and the room service was timely most all of the time. We left a tip for the maid each day while we left and explored and she made our room a lovely respite for each night. Bikes are available to ride down to Playa Linda - go and check out the Crocs! Turn-down service daily, a classy touch. At the lower Infiniti pool, Rojillio had the drinks and food flowing with no pressure and that's how I like it. He brought us cool washcloths and exotic juices- nicely done. The view of the ocean from the pool is astonishing and Rojillio's trademark phrase..."jenga!" made us smile all day and we just loved the luxurious Capella Mexican vibe. Be careful, the designer margs are $12US...and that can be a bit pricey for a thirsty guy like me. We had dinner at Capella's oceanside seafood restaurant El Mares helped by knowledgable Judia and staff who were wonderful with a tremendous selection of fresh catches and an extensive wine list. The food at Capella is excellent across the board. This resort deserves five stars- no other resort in Ixtapa can come close. It is very exclusive and worth the price, if over the top 5-star treatment is what you need....and believe me we needed it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Solmar Resort; City: Cabo San Lucas Los Cabos Baja California; Review: My wife and I traded into this resort with our timeshare and stayed for a week. I must say that the staff was superb and the view of the pacific was to die for. The food was excellent and the drinks were delicious and not too badly priced for a high-end resort. We decided "what the hell" and we sat in for the timeshare presentation and it was 3 hours of high-pressure sales tactics which I expected but wanted to get the whole jist of what they have going on at this place. The rooms have great views and the pools are really well-done. If I could trade in timeshare and stay here again I would definitely do it. You can walk init town from the hotel which is nice, but it is far far from the airport so plan on paying a bit for a taxi or just renting a car... no big deal.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Springs Resort and Spa; City: Arenal Volcano National Park Province of Alajuela; Review: We stayed in a hotel up the road from the Spa and spent an afternoon dipping in all of the wonderful heated pools. The staff was great and the service was excellent. The are many different pools to choose from, some hotter and some not so hot. The best part is that you are allowed to take beverages into the pools with you so you can stay hydrated... including beer - NEVER happen in the states. If you are looking for some comfort and a really neat jungle spot, this is it!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Royal Sonesta New Orleans; City: New Orleans Louisiana; Review: One word for this place- CLASSY. We got in a bit early so we checked in and left our bags with the staff and went out into the French Quarter exploring. We got back around 4pm and our bags were in our room and the room was perfect. We got a free bottle of champagne and my wife was happy happy. Our room opened up to a balcony on Bourbon St and although it was a bit noisy, we knew that going in because we wanted to see the people out on the street below- it was fantastic! We stayed for two days and had a great great time. We are at Desire restaurant and I left my credit card there. About 30 minutes later the front desk called me on my cell phone and they had it at the front desk... Now that my friends is first class service. If I could give Royal Sonesta 6 stars I would. A+; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Residence Club Dorado Hacienda del Mar; City: Dorado Puerto Rico; Review: We traded timeshare to stay here, and timeshare is generally hit and miss, so here is the rundown. This place is in Dorado which is about 30 miles west of San Juan. The traffic on the highway to San Juan is an ABOMINATION! So that cut two hours into all of our trips. God help them with that traffic. The place used to be nice before the recession in 08, but it tanked when the bottom fell out and people stopped vacationing like many other resorts. They have closed down some of the buildings and apparently sold them to Marriott which will be razing some sites in January to build a new property. This place was less than half full and we didnt really see too many people around. It seems a little understaffed. The hot water went out on a Thursday night and we still didn't have it when we were checking out on Saturday morning. Can you imagine no hot water for two days? That my friends is a nail in the coffin for my wife. The facility is OLD. Needs a facelift, but the staff is super nice and helpful. The GOOD: The gym is awesome. Treadmills, elliptical, bikes and free weights with smith machine. The Beach is nice. A great breeze blows in but the chairs are old. The view of the ocean is spectacular. There is golf nearby at the Plantation- OMG the nicest place to play. loved it. The BAD: Everything has an outdated feel. there is no money being spent here. Cocktails at the beach bar are $12. That is a lot of pride in your booze. The hot tub is not that hot. maybe like 98. :( I would not trade in to stay here again, I would stay in Farjado where there is more to do and the traffic into SJ is not as bad.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Ser CasaSandra; City: Holbox Island Yucatan Peninsula; Review: We stayed at Casa Sandra in June of 2015 and it was just lovely. The service was excellent and Edgar and Jose were fast with the drinks and towels. Rooms have good A/C and some have King beds. There are not many hotel choices in Holbox, and Casa Sandra is located far enough from the main square tat you don't hear the noise, but definitely close enough to walk in and have dinner or a beer. We ate at the restaurant in the lobby and found the food to be wonderful. The lobster was cooked perfectly as was my wife's pasta. The pool facility is really well done. Small enough to make it exclusive feeling, but big enough that it is not crowded. The bar is right at the pool so drinks come quickly. If I happen back to Holbox again, I will definitely stay at Casa Sandra.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Metropole; City: Avalon Catalina Island California; Review: We booked the Metropole for our labor day weekend trip to the island in advance as it was one of the last hotels with vacancy for that weekend. The front desk staff was courteous and the location is right on the main street. The room (405) was nicely done as it had a street side view which was not spectacular, but all of the ocean view rooms were sold out. I would say that the room was adequate but nothing to write home about. The bed was comfy and there was a table to work on. There is a nice coffee shop right in the courtyard of the hotel which made some really great drinks for us. Bottom Line: We would probably stay there again but we would book an ocean view room.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I remembered this as a quality company years ago but that's not true anymore. The set arrived with several plates chipped, and I should have taken that as a warning. I was sent replacements but it was still a hassle. They have continued to chip and flake around the edges, the plates have scratched every time a fork or knife touches them, and they have looked cruddy almost since the beginning.

Title: Hussong's Cantina Las Vegas; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: Yeah that was terrible! My niece celebrated her 21st birthday dinner here last night, aside from the fact that you can barely have a conversation because the mariachi band is playing the whole time in the small confined restaurant. Several of my parties orders were incorrectly prepared, salmon was overcooked but requested as medium rare, one of the meals was requested to come without beans and it showed up covered in refried beans. We then asked the waiter to just remove it from our order because at this point we weren't interested in waiting any longer, however they still tried to charge us $20 for it. My cheese enchiladas tasted like they rolled a string cheese into a quesadilla and served it = $16. They charge $20 for a burrito and an extra $8 to add Carne Asada meat. We had a total of eight people for our party so they automatically add gratuity to each check. Smh! This place does not uphold Las Vegas reputation or standards, very disappointed.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Brio Tuscan Grille; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: I don't even know where to start. I really want to have nice things to say however tonight said otherwise.
Let me just start with the positives, this place is great for small parties (1-6). Tonight we visited with a rather large party which seemed to fluster the staff. Oddly enough, our party was initially split by a short wall which was awkward bcs it was a birthday and not everyone was affiliated with each other. After requesting to have the entire party placed together, it was apparent that request was a hassle to the manager and staff. Once we were finally all sat, it took some time to figure out who our servers were bcs they did not immediately tend to the table. From what I observed, we had two main servers for a party of 30, which were also assigned to other tables around the area. We almost missed happy hour (food and drinks) after we asked to order and the waitress insisted we wait to get everyone seated lol. 10 minutes before happy hour was ending we then were addressed by one of the waitresses very abruptly and urgently to get everyone's orders in on time. I was one of the first to order my dinner and the last to receive it. I ordered the Lobster Shrimp Fettuccine, was not a fan which surprised me bcs I love seafood and was really looking forward to it. It took me 18 minutes exactly after I ordered a refill to receive it. Empty cups continued to fill up the table. Not to mention, the manager walked by several times but never to stop and see how things were going with our party. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he should have been working with his team, and tended to our table at least a couple times throughout the night, otherwise why are you here?
I'm going to stop right there..

It took me 18 minutes exactly after I ordered a refill to receive it. Empty cups continued to fill up the table. Not to mention, the manager walked by several times but never to stop and see how things were going with our party. If I didn't know any better, I'd say he should have been working with his team, and tended to our table at least a couple times throughout the night, otherwise why are you here?
I'm going to stop right there..

Title: Brio Tuscan Grille; City: Las Vegas, NV; Review: I don't even know where to start. I really want to have nice things to say however tonight said otherwise.
Let me just start with the positives, this place is great for small parties (1-6). Tonight we visited with a rather large party which seemed to fluster the staff. Oddly enough, our party was initially split by a short wall which was awkward bcs it was a birthday and not everyone was affiliated with each other. After requesting to have the entire party placed together, it was apparent that request was a hassle to the manager and staff. Once we were finally all sat, it took some time to figure out who our servers were bcs they did not immediately tend to the table. From what I observed, we had two main servers for a party of 30, which were also assigned to other tables around the area. We almost missed happy hour (food and drinks) after we asked to order and the waitress insisted we wait to get everyone seated lol. 10 minutes before happy hour was ending we then were addressed by one of the waitresses very abruptly and urgently to get everyone's orders in on time.

Title: Cometh the Hour: Book Six Of the Clifton Chronicles; Author: Visit Amazon's Jeffrey Archer Page; Review: Jeffery Archer is a wonderful storyteller. "Cometh the Hour" has many twists and turns, keeping the reader on his/her toes. Good writing and good reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Daniel Silva Thriller 6; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Silva Page; Review: The story is well written, moves along briskly, and contains much suspense.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: News Release: July 1, 1935 (Classic Reprint); Author: Pa Emergency Relief Administration; Review: As many others have stated, Jeffrey Archer is a master storyteller. I recommendation starting with Book 1 of the Clifton Chronicles and reading through to this, the final volume.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: House of Spies; Author: Visit Amazon's Daniel Silva Page; Review: This novel is not up to the standard set by the prior Gabriel Allon novels. The plot is too complicated and lacks credibility. Too many events were required to occur to make it work; not likely in the real world.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: A Column of Fire (Kingsbridge); Author: Visit Amazon's Ken Follett Page; Review: Ken Follett is a great writer of historical fiction. I learned much about the power struggles that went on in England and Europe during Elizabethan times. In addition, the interwoven human story was very interesting, giving a good picture of what the citizens suffered during the religious conflicts and purges.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Brief History of Everyone Who Ever Lived: The Human Story Retold Through Our Genes; Author: Adam Rutherford; Review: The book is very informative; an interesting read. However, there is too much emphasis on the "politics" of the genome project and other cooperative projects for gene sequencing and genome interpretation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Crystal Peak Lodge; City: Breckenridge Colorado; Review: Pros: New Condo with nice layout and kitchen and fireplace was a nice touch-didn't work when we first got there and within minutes of our call someone came and fixed it immediately, Cleaning Service on time and always cleaned our dishes, Fitness Room, Hot Tub area, Garage was convenient Cons: No A/C, Construction off-site, No Landscaping in front, Front-desk attendents "young", although very nice didn't have great area knowledge. Sevens Restaurant was empty (off season) but very good. Resort Fee-ok, not necessary but do-able. Overall a great new resort with nice amenities if you are looking for a condo, without all the bells and whistles of a resort.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Ritz Carlton Kapalua; City: Kapalua Maui Hawaii; Review: When we arrived we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite-that made our stay! Always clean, great kitchen and sitting area. We have been to Hawaii several times and although this is a beautiful area, we felt like it lacked the Hawaiian Spirit. At some points we didn't "feel" like we were in Hawaii. PROS: Clean Room, Secluded Area, Quiet, Concierge Staff GREAT!, Food at on-site restaurants was pricy but delicious CONS: Pool Attendants were inconsistent (some very friendly others as much), Not on beach-if that is what you are looking for, lack of evening entertainment (not much of a night life) The Kapalua area is special and one of a kind! Loved the Honolou General Store next door and the beauty of this part of the Island. Great restaurants in the area!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Crowne Plaza Miami Airport; City: Miami Florida; Review: We have stayed here twice while flying out of MIA. Seems like a Holiday Inn Express. Most staffers seemed to have a hard time communicating. Rooms could be cleaner. Breakfast used to be a full buffet, but they changed it to continental. PRO: Close to the airport and Shuttle on time and useful. We stay here because we get points, or use points, and use it the night before we fly out of MIA. If we weren't interested in those two things we would pick something else.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Holua Resort at The Mauna Loa Village; City: Kailua Kona Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: The best part-the staff. You couldn't beat Evan's smile and friendliness. Very clean and the rooms where HUGE! It is not a resort, nor feels like it, however if you want to find a spacious place with great people and lots of room, this is an option. Pools weren't anything to write home about, but I assume if you are looking into a condo that may not be the first priority. The only caution: If you stay in a one bedroom on the BOTTOM floor, be prepared for lots of noise in the upstairs condo. For the extra money get the two bedroom, have the two floors to yourself so you won't have to worry about the extreme noise from those upstairs...did we have big foot ahead? We weren't sure.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Laguna Beach; City: Laguna Beach California; Review: We began with a great welcome. All workers were very nice, kind and accomodating. Great walking distance to all restaurants. The pool area is very pretty, and even though it was close to the main road, it was pretty quiet. However, the room we were in (and we were told we had a very nice room), was so old, tired and there literally was a "hole in the wall" by the bed. The phone and clock, where incredibly dirty (They did compensate for these things). We called it surfacy clean, if you looked close, there was a lot of grim on things. And, since all the doors are facing the outdoor area, it was pretty loud when people walked by or by the pool, however at night, the clientele was very quiet, and sleeping was good. I hate to be negative because the staff was so kind, but this place needs some major renovations quickly. Nice to have complimentary water, pop, popcorn, coffee and newspaper. It just wasn't enough to go back.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Inn at Bay Harbor Autograph Collection Hotels; City: Bay Harbor Petoskey Emmet County Michigan; Review: What great place in Michigan. Views are beautiful. So fun to have the little store on the main level with Starbucks drinks, Ice Cream, Popcorn. Just so nice to have treats so accesible. Room did have some updates needed, some water leaks. But what a great room with a fireplace, small balcony. Great service. Breakfast was wonderful(great views)-make your own omelets, waffles. A little pricy..check to see what is offered if you are a Marriott Member. You feel like you are away! We got an upgrade, great prices in October. We discovered the restaurants and shops within walking distance the night before we left, but that helps to know when we go back, as it is a little drive to get to restaurants in Petosky.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inn on Fifth; City: Naples Florida; Review: Looking from the in outside in, we were excited to explore this hotel. The lobby seemed to be so grand and exquisite, and the area is such a quaint haven. However the service was lack-luster, and the room we were in reminded us of a holiday inn express. What a disappointment. The location is wonderful, the hotel not so much.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Kauai Beach Resort; City: Lihue Kauai Hawaii; Review: Booked thru hotwire, (it rated it a 4star, after visiting, it might be a 3). Didn't have the classy, Hawaiian atmosphere service or resort amenities that makes a Hawaiian vacation so special. Rooms where updated but still tired. Pool area was ok, but didn't feel clean enough. We stayed one night, close to the airport. Wouldn't advise staying more then that if you are planning to stay, relax and play at the resort. It seemed that the ownership tried to make it something special by making quick and easy updates, but it lacked a full renovation that it really needs.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Chicago Marriott Naperville; City: Naperville Illinois; Review: This "new and remodeled" hotel was clean and contemporary, however, the service was lack-luster. The lobby was impresive, however we didn't see any bellmen or anyone to help with luggage. We were never told about any of the amenities, facilities, how to get to the room etc. I am sure the hotel offered some great amenities, but we didn't know about them. You can hear everything in the room. Plumbing, showers, sinks, which was disappointing since it had undergone renovations. Maybe the service will get better, but if you are looking for some quiet-this wouldn't be the place. (Unless you get on the top floor?); Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: CityFlatsHotel Holland; City: Holland Ottawa County Michigan; Review: Contemporary hotel is one block away from quaint downtown Holland, walking distance from shops and restaurants. Rooms were clean and unique, however you could hear everything. Plumbing was extremely loud, every flush, shower and sink usage was heard. argh. Our room was by a busy street and traffic noise was prominent. We were with a group and many stayed on the opposite side and heard trains go by in the middle of the night. Service was minimal. The restaurant's food was creative, and the carrott cake was worth the stop. However, service was again, minimal. If you are looking for a quiet room, this would not be the place, however it is convenient.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Hapuna Beach Resort; City: Puako Kohala Coast Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: We read many reviews before we stayed at this resort, and many are accurate. Very, very tired rooms (we had some mold on our bathroom ceiling and shower, a slight musty smell in the room-we kept the air off and the lanai door open most of the time.) Warning if you stay in #5 building. At 7 a.m. the work trucks start up and if you are a light sleeper the beeping of them backing up is really annoying. We called down to the front desk and they said that wasn't a loud area and the trucks were just "stored" there. We found the front desk standoffish and they seemed annoyed. Tried to give us the run-around, rolling eyes and all. Tried eating at the Ocean Terrace-and after two dirty tables (dirty coffee cup and hair on the table and several soiled chairs) we left and went elsewhere. The small and dingy/dark snack room was ridiculous and we were embarassed that they were running food out of such a dank room. The gift shop was so overpriced it was ridiculous. The pool restaurant wasn't bad-we did have a good server there and at the bar one evening. The plus is the beach and view. I think this is the only reason this hotel is still running-and since they aren't updating the rooms (rusty lamps, old comforters, etc) as well as the Lobby's rusty tables and such inconsistent service, this is the only plus. Yes, agree with one writer that the bell-hop/valet service was terrible. We didn't get one smile from one of the staff at all. The gate-keepers where nice however. So-don't go unless you must be at this beach-We have stayed at the Mauna Lani-and they have just as good of deals, and you can't compare the two. The Marriott down the road was much better as well. Let's hope they not only update the hotel and some of the staff soon (or at least train them in hospitality).; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Bedroom excellent, bathroom excellent, residents lounge excellent, outside patio excellent, breakfast excellent, owners excellent. Would we recommend to our friends - yes. Would we go back - yes.

Title: Ancient Gate House Hotel; City: Wells Somerset England; Review: Very old coaching inn, quirky rooms but very clean and individual. Staff were excellent always friendly and helpful. Hotel restaurant was up there with the best at very reasonable price, Italian cuisine, great service and did not have to wait long for food - would highly recommend. Downside, as with anywhere in Wells, is the car parking - we were lucky to be able to park in their sister hotel but could be a problem if they were busy - but a small price to pay for a really nice experience; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Eype s Mouth Country Hotel; City: Bridport Dorset England; Review: Located along a narrow lane, this Hotel is well worth the effort once you get there. Plenty of car parking. Over looking the sea whether from the Smugglers pub/bar serving bar food etc.. or from the residents lounge or dining room. The rooms are spotlessly clean as is the whole hotel. The staff are exceptional, attentive, friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The residents restaurant is just brilliant - food is really well prepared and presented, no undue delays, is hot and delicious. Menu changes daily. The services in the restaurant is very good. Could not fault anything - definitely will return. Well done to all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Diglis House Hotel; City: Worcester Worcestershire England; Review: Great location on the bank of the river, within a few minutes walk of City Centre, Cathedral, Royal Worcester Museum. Car Parking is a real plus. Lovely clean Hotel with very helpful staff - suites are worth the extra cost. Definitely one to revisit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Winchester Royal Hotel; City: Winchester Hampshire England; Review: Excellent location in City Centre and with the advantage of a Car Park. Lovely clean room, spacious and comfortable (garden view room). Staff were brilliant, very helpful, Would not hesitate to stay here again,; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Wearing above a size 8 might be a bit tight. The quality for a costume item was better than I expected. I'm sure they'll be a big hit at the 60's party. Glad I took the chance.

Title: We Hotel Aeropuerto; City: Mexico City Central Mexico and Gulf Coast; Review: I will start with the few good points: The bed was decent and comfortable. I slept well despite irritating arrival issues. The free breakfast buffet was quite good. Problems: I had called twice before arrival to specifically ask that the airport shuttle be sent at midnight to pick me up as I knew I wasn't going to have Mexican pesos to use a public phone to call for the shuttle. And my own cell phone wouldn't work in other countries. When I tried to buy a phone card at the airport, none of the stores at that time were accepting my foreign credit cards. Most shops, exchanges were also shut because it was past 11:30pm. No shuttle from the hotel ever showed up, and some other hotel's shuttle had a kind driver who eventually took me to the Ramada hotel. Once I got there, the front desk ladies didn't apologise for not sending the shuttle as requested the day before. They tried to argue instead saying I should have called. At that time, I was frustrated and tired enough that I had no energy to explain everything about how I had already requested the shuttle ahead of time. I did ask them to give me one extra hour to check out, which they obliged. The room I stayed in (and also the one my co-worker stayed in) had no window!!!! Just a glass covered in paint or paper on the other side. It was AWFUL!!!! A hotel room with no window??? If you have work to do, the wi-fi either does not work at all or comes and goes at a snail's space, super slow speed. Again, the staff did not apologize for this shortcoming. they just said, "something is wrong with the connection maybe." Duh. Not going back to this hotel ever again. I spent US$98 for the poorest hotel experience I have had for that price.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Paradise Road The Villa Bentota; City: Bentota Galle District Southern Province; Review: The rooms were wonderful. The over-all vibe of the place is elegant, stylish (with a mixt of trendy and old world Sri Lankan charm), VERY quiet, and great to just completely let-go and relax, relax, relax. Beach is a small five minute walk. A train goes through the hotel gardens and some may not like it, but we enjoyed it. Wi-fi was OK (not great), but for us the idea was not sitting in front of the laptop or iPad. Not too many other places to eat. So you are kind of stuck with the hotel restaurant or the one at the immediate neighbor hotel (which is also very good). No crowds, no loud music, no pool games or laughing yoga or any such thing. Just relax in a beautiful place with good staff and food. Take books. Great for family with older kids or no kids. great for couples. Also good for solo retreat.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Plaza Inn American Loft; City: Sao Paulo State of Sao Paulo; Review: Hotel is best for business travelers. Basic and simple. Decent restaurant (carb fest!) Gym is ok. Tiny pool. Hated that the hotel is right in front of a huge brazilian football stadium. If you are a football fan, you might be OK, but if there is a game and even if there is no game, but that club is playing elsewhere, thousands will gather near this stadium and on certain night you will not sleep until 3am. Gets very loud as they chant and sing making a big ruckus! I hated all that noise when I was trying to sleep. Front desk staff is quite helpful and friendly and can speak English. busy street due to large shopping mall across the street. There is a good grocery store inside the Mall.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Estanplaza Nacoes Unidas; City: Sao Paulo State of Sao Paulo; Review: For me, people make the difference. I have stayed here over a week and I have felt at home due to the hospitality and very helpful, friendly ways of the front desk staff, the security folks and the restaurant staff with their smiling faces. I am not here for a luxury resort. I am here on business. So this hotel is just fine for that. All of the front desk staff speak pretty good English and they are always eager to help. I have not eaten lunch or dinner here in the hotel, but I have breakfast daily and they always have a lot of fruit. The place is a bit noisy, but that is to be expected in Sao Paulo. There is a Starbucks just across the street. There is a good drugstore nearby as well. I am not a fan of Sao Paulo, but if I have to be here, I really want to be around good people. And that is the biggest plus point here with the staff. The room is clean and bed is nice and firm, good pillows. If you are traveling from the US, bring an adapter for your US plugs, because the outlets here are all Brazilian 3-pin outlets. The free wi-fi is sometimes too slow. Paid wi-fi is probably fine. I think they should move to having good, free wi-fi in all the rooms like most places in the US. I also wish they would have an iron and ironing table in each room. I also really wish they have a small coffee service in the rooms. TV has CNN international and I did catch some English sitcoms (such a thrill to watch Seinfeld and Will & Grace unexpectedly in Brasil).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Rafain Centro; City: Foz do Iguacu State of Parana; Review: I give this hotel four stars because it is pretty average, but for the price you pay, its services are just fine. And it serves the purpose of why most of its visitors probably check into it. Most people who check-in there are those who are visiting the amazing (AMAZING!) Iguacu Falls, a short bus ride from there. So most-likely, you will not spend a whole lots of idle time in this hotel. It provides a decent bed and shower and that is fine enough for me. The front desk staff is mostly Portuguese speaking, but can manage a little bit of English. The breakfast spread is okay and enough to get yout going on your tours. Speaking of tours, it is great that this hotel has a LoumarTour table set up in the front desk area. Their prices and service is quite good. I have no complains. The look and feel of the place if pretty basic but generally clean and comfortable. Location is a bit noisy, but I sleep very well, so I had no big issue around it. Some place outside played some loud music into the night, but it did stop and I was too tired to be kept awake by that. There is a swimming pool, but I did not use it. Easy walk to shops, restaurants. Not sure about any restaurant there as I didn't try any of it. NEGATIVES: 1) I was irritated by the odd toilet tissue dispenser. It is not just a simple toilet roll. Instead it is some weird thing where you have to tug at the tissue and sometimes its all ripping to piece as you tug. 2) I had dinner only 1 night here and it was a very simple salad and soup only. They had a few desserts. It was over-priced at BR30.00 But then again, most things in brazil are over-priced for not very good quality. To close, this is a good hotel to just sleep and get to the Falls and other tourist attractions. The front desk staff is quite helpful with limited English. Very easy access to the tourist attractions and to get them organized right there inside the hotel. Mostly positive experience. Its served my purpose for being there.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Monumental Hotel Orlando; City: Orlando Florida; Review: This place had a very kind and helpful woman working at the front desk. Her last name I think is DeJesus. Other than that, the hotel was just strangely situated - where you enter the hotel (i was dropped off from an airport shuttle) is not where the front desk is. So you enter a completely empty room with nobody there! Kinda creepy! There is a sign that directs you through empty corridors to the front desk. I went about a week before peak season began in Orlando and the place was eerily empty. There is nothing nearby. Just a few not-so-good restaurants and a 7Eleven about a 10 - 20 minute walk away. I did not go to the swimpool. The room and bathroom were pleasant enough for the price.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Stanley Hotel; City: Estes Park Colorado; Review: I have stayed overnight on a few occasions. Love it that they have a wing that's doggie-friendly. The restaurant is somewhat pricey, but food is good. The wing of the hotel that's to the left of the main building is OK, but really just needs a loving touch, some nice decor and to be kept up. It looks eerily empty in certain places, old furniture and just simply needs to freshened up. Such an amazing location and legacy. The slight run-down-ness could just be a sign of times where certain luxury locations may have got hit hard during economic tough times.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Heritance Kandalama; City: Dambulla Central Province; Review: The place is just beautiful and the food is incredible. This is really a very serene place and you'll love being surrounded by nature and especially the monkeys! However, for calling themselves an "eco" hotel, they really need to STOP THE ELEPHANT RIDES. When you walk to the lake, you'll see there is a structure made for climbing the poor elephant. The hotel will say that the elephant rides are not their business but that some person near the hotel runs the elephant ride business. That's not good enough. They can find an ethical, ecological and responsible solution to allowing that elephant to simply be without becoming a victim of exploitation by hotel guests. This is why I am giving this hotel three stars when i could easily give it 5 stars if not for this violation of animal wellbeing. By the way, i'm also a vegetarian.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Mantra Tullamarine Hotel; City: Tullamarine Greater Melbourne Victoria; Review: I am glad I chose Mantra for a short stay after a very long flight from Canada and then a long layover before next flight to New Zealand.

Title: The Cat Who Walks Through Walls; Author: Robert A. Heinlein; Review: I am a great lover of the words of Heinlein. But this book has got to be one of his worst. While it has some very interesting quantum physics threads, and some interesting character as aware entity moments, it does not hold together. The relationships of the main character and his children (near the end of the book) are confusing and more explicit than needed/wanted. The 'mysteries' the main character was trying to solve fell apart like wet tissue paper. I was dissapointed that the ending did not allow resolution of many issues the book tried to explore. What was heinlein thinking?; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Spellsong War (Spellsong Cycle #2); Author: Visit Amazon's L. E. Modesitt Jr. Page; Review: I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and was excited to read the next one. What I got was a very blah book. It's hard to pinpoint the exact problem. Almost all character/world building is left to the first novel. The first novel had Anna's introduction to Erde and many of her reactions to her new circumstances, and learning about her new powers. This book doesn't build on those themes much, though relying on the same complaints she often had, from the first book. All politics are mostly shown by snippits of the other world leaders of Erde having bland discussion with their subordinates. Perhaps this is all building towards something larger in the next book, but I felt that I would have been just fine with Anna's storyline, and not had the world politics revealed to me without so much as a spellsong. OK, the novel is called the Spellsong War, but the Spellsong War parts bored me to tears, as well as the traveling between them, so what was left to this book? Not much. Speaking of long sections. I haven't read many Modestitt Jr books, so I don't know if this practice of copying text is common in the other ones. I could almost feel the copy-paste in the computer happening as I read. I had the sense that I had read several sections before, almost to the letter. The same description about flowery language, same complaing from Anna about the things following it happened over and over. It's always Holly Lolly Polly Pop... We learned more warm ups in 2nd grade, why does she almost never vary it? Almost everytime the hat is mentioned it is 'the floppy hat' with no other description. If you're not providing new information about an item, why bother mentioning it? I can almost always remember to imagine it as floppy. or flowery, or that she has to clear the same mucus from her throat or ect. Music. This is a problem. I have never been an opera singer, but I have been in a performing orchestra. Anna is missing some spark that makes it seem like she's been up on the stage. That she knows more about music than words like vocalise, or strophic (which is not clear to me, as a musician, though I could research it). She never seems to feel the music build in her, never describes what it's like to be the music, the intrument, to be carried by the rush of performance. Perhaps she's too...tired.(as she always is) But would it have hurt L.E. to do a bit more research into how music feels? how it feels to perform? Has he ever talked to a group of musicians? felt their passion? seen how they can geek out over an overture, or aria? Also, I understand she may not be a composer, but the snippets provided don't do enough to show that they are actually part of songs, The closest we get is a bit from The Battle Hymn, but as a classically trained opera singer(usually; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Perhaps he was parented well; perhaps he had mentors who knew how to behave appropriately in public and private; perhaps what we see as wise and ideal was more normal when GW was young. No matter.

Title: The Delusion of Disbelief: Why the New Atheism is a Threat to Your Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of Happiness; Author: Visit Amazon's David Aikman Page; Review: With intellectual prowess, acerbic wit and deep faith, David Aikman duels and wins the argument against atheism. In brilliant opposition to those who attack Christians as intolerant of opposing views, Aikman patiently and elegantly exposed each atheistic false assumption. (His specific targets are the writings and thoughts of Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Daniel Dennett, and Christopher Hitchens.) Aikman quotes Albert Einstein wisely, since many feel that the mathematics genius would have had opinions on other subjects that would be trustworthy. although Einstein eschewed all trappings of religion, he said, "I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene." Einstein was also emphatic about asserting the existence of Jesus. "(Do I believe in Jesus?) Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life." Powerful in his warning to 21st century liberals who tolerate atheism in the spirit of "it's all good", Aikman declares, "Atheism, when adopted wholesale by any government or society, has very profound and - as was evident in the twentieth century - disturbing consequences for political liberty. Every single one of the Founding Fathers understood this..." (page 136) The Delusion of Disbelief is civil, intellectually profound, occasionally humorous, stunning in it's logic, patient, a "must read" for anyone needing backup for their scholarship, history and logic of why Jesus lived, was the Son of God, was crucified and resurrected for the benefit of all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Powerful in his warning to 21st century liberals who tolerate atheism in the spirit of "it's all good", Aikman declares, "Atheism, when adopted wholesale by any government or society, has very profound and - as was evident in the twentieth century - disturbing consequences for political liberty. Every single one of the Founding Fathers understood this..." (page 136) The Delusion of Disbelief is civil, intellectually profound, occasionally humorous, stunning in it's logic, patient, a "must read" for anyone needing backup for their scholarship, history and logic of why Jesus lived, was the Son of God, was crucified and resurrected for the benefit of all.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: You Mean I'm Not Lazy, Stupid or Crazy?!: A Self-Help Book for Adults with Attention Deficit Disorder; Author: Visit Amazon's Kate Kelly Page; Review: Finally the authors have lived the solutions they suggest. A practical guide to anyone who has ADD or thinks they might have it or knows someone who needs a way out of chaos in their lives. The sequel will be anticipated!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: This Burning Land: Lessons from the Front Lines of the Transformed Israeli-Palestinian Conflict; Author: Visit Amazon's Greg Myre Page; Review: Not ever having visited Israel, "This Burning Land" has opened my eyes, ears, and heart to know, feel, and sense the conflict that never ends. A serious book, it held my attention, actually gripped me, as the reporters relentlessly followed death and turmoil and expose it in wonderful detail. Arm chair historians and adventurers alike will follow Myrie's search for "the story" intently, because he arrests the reader's attention with the truth, much more fascinating than fiction. In fact, I can see this book as a movie that would rivet an audience. Hollywood, take note. Ms. Griffin adds more adventure, analysis and poigancy as she and Myrie take care of family responsibilities in a war zone. No one will forget the image of a mom with a breast pump and a reporter's gear on the road for the next lead. No one will forget Myrie in a tank being shot at and compelled to stay with the story as it unfolded. Both stun the imagination as they hang in there for 7 years, record it all and use scholarship, intelligence, discernment and guts to enlighten even the most seasoned Middle East experts on what must be taken into consideration. Literary critics will find this a densely written account of professional writers, who are also parents, lovers, and passionate seekers of truth and understanding. Semitic folks on both sides of this war for survival will find this balanced and real. At the end of the day, they are all brothers and sisters, family divided by ancient issues that are still modern and impossibly entangled. I don't know another way to say that "This Burning Land" is a "must read." Just hold on because reading it is a visceral experience, not for the faint of heart.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maxwell Leadership Bible, Revised and Updated; Author: Visit Amazon's John C.

Title: Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes - Cultural Studies in the Gospels; Author: Visit Amazon's Kenneth E.

Title: Un-Leashed: Practical Steps to Get Your Life Unstuck; Author: Visit Amazon's Marianne Clyde Page; Review: If you live in a world that is perfect and happy 100% of the time, don't bother with this book. If you ever have a day, a week, a month or a season where you feel stuck in patterns of thinking and behaving that don't bring you joy, here is your "coach in a book" to help you rewire yourself. Marianne Clyde uses her experience as a holistic psychotherapist and her extensive research to come up with actions anyone can take to experience new freedom. Stuck in behaviors that drive you or others crazy? Learn how to live the "Unleashed Life". Do you have a judge inside of you that has condemned you for feelings and behaviors you wish you didn't have? Learn about how the brain works and how it can be rewired through relaxation and meditation. Occasional panic attacks paralyze you and even make you sick? Find out why, in simple, easy to understand language and reframe your approach to what is bothering you. Insightful, informative, clear and actionable - Unleashed is even cheaper than therapy!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Getting Naked; Author: Visit Amazon's Patrick Williams Page; Review: Dr. Williams fascination with what makes people tick has led him to provide tools to anyone who has been paralyzed by fear to live a freer, more fulfilled life. In fact, he traces his own quest for freedom and meaning in life in a transparent way that inspires trust in his premise. Wanting to learn to master fear, replace it with love of self and then others, and to live in the present resonates with my own life's journey. So I read this book in one afternoon, hungry to see where we agree and disagree. Even though I intentionally embrace a Biblical world view, we agree on almost all concepts. Why? Because truth is truth and many roads lead there. This book is a valuable tool for people who have never had therapy or coaching as well as for coaches and mental health professionals. I even think couples who feel that they are not able to be as intimate with one another as they want, will find lots of insights and tools here to begin that journey. If you have never lived your dream, if you sense that you are afraid of facing some of you in truth and love, if you are "hiding from your own truths" and happiness eludes you, this is a must read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Beijing House Buffet; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: Stopped for early dinner wish we hadn't. Food was old chewy not much flavour, breaded chicken balls where so hard I couldn't cut into them, think I got golf balls ! Oysters were a highlight of dinner.

Title: Delton Veterinary Hospital; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: Why is it when a person tries to do the right thing and adopt a rescue puppy, Vets seem to think your wallet is full of cash for them to vacuum out ? Bring in a puppy with diahrrea ( puppy is 8 weeks and hasn't been dewormed) the vet did the exam and stated she wanted to get some fluids into him , and other things. I said ok she then stated she will go get things started. I waited 5 minutes or so and a nurse comes in and starts the sales pitch. The doctor recommends blah blah blah and the proposed bill was over $ 450.00 , when I said sorry I can't afford that I'll have to take him back, I got the what can you afford question?? Seriously is my puppy a used car ? I agreed on treatments to $242.00 . She took my puppy away. While I am writing this I can hear my poor puppy yelping in the other room !!! Really missing my vet back in Vancouver where my dogs health was first not an opportunity to run up a bill on a person who obviously loves his pets. When paying for the treatment, I was told they wanted to see My puppy again Saturday. At $100.00 to walk in the door Sorry I'm not up for another round of ""what can you afford"" I'll be looking for a VET; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Rostizado - by Tres Carnales; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: Pretentious restaurant! Arrived at 10 to 3 , two young ladies greeted us with if you don't order by 3 the kitchen won't make your food. Interesting approach to greeting potential new customers. When I was in the hospitality business ( for over 25 yrs ) if anyone walked in my doors 30 seconds prior to closing my Servers and cooks took care of the guests the same as any other guest. or they were no longer employed. I guess this place makes too much money it can afford to put customers off.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Buster's Pizza, Donair & Pasta; City: Edmonton, AB; Review: What's with Edmonton Donair shops ? They don't open the pita and stuff the pita with meat, cheese , veggies and sauces. Instead you pay 10 bucks for a Donair burrito ?? Seriously ?? Ordered a Donair with cheese , why is cheese an option on a Donair ?? Got a small pita rolled like a burrito with a bit of meat and veggies not sure there was any cheese in it. Came to $9.50 gave the person a $20.00 tried to give him self a tip and only give me back 9.50 in change. Really disappointing won't be back. Over priced for tiny portions.

Mean while a problem with a gift card or something ? Hostess still did not even look our way !!! Walked away to the back again !!

Title: Hampton Inn Watertown; City: Watertown New York; Review: Stayed here overnight for a shopping trip with my family.

The room furnishings are very nice and lots of complimentary items (soap, shampoo, etc..) The staff were very polite and helpful. The complimentary breakfast is fresh and has plenty of choices.

Title: Grand Sirenis Punta Cana Resort Casino Aquagames; City: Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Domi; Review: My wife and I and our 2 daughters (12 and 9) went to Grand Sirenis for the first week in February 2019. This was the first time we went to an all inclusive with our children and I can say it was a great experience. We had a minor issue after check in and were given a room other than we had requested and between the porter and the front desk clerk it took them about 15 minutes to fix(just enough time for me to walk to the front desk and back)by the time I was back my wife and kids were already in the new room, can't beat service like that. The property is really big and we did lots of walking which helps at an all inclusive so you don't gain as much weight. My girls loved the water park and the coffee/ice cream shop. The food at the a la carte restaurants was very good, our favorites were the Brazilian and Italian. As for the buffet I have to say the food was really quite good, no matter what meal you were there for the selection and quality was always superb, as for the service I can say without reservation the service at the buffet was incredible! On our first day we met Ana Figuera our waitress at the buffet, we walked in a little blurry eyed from our flight and she sat us down and took great care of us. From then on every morning we were met by her wide smile and warm reception and a hug for my girls. We could not have been made to feel more welcome, she helped make our vacation very special. Overall I can say that we will be returning next year since we had such an amazing time. Thank you to all the amazing staff who worked so hard to make our stay wonderful, from the grounds keepers, maintenance, all restaurant staff, everyone always had a smile and a greeting for us. Thank you to Rosanna who braided our girls hair and Johnny who booked it for us and helped book a wonderful massage with Alexandra! We cannot forget our wonderful housekeeping, Erica in building 32, our room was cleaned every morning, stocked with drinks, towels(when needed, always available!) Pools were beautiful and clean and pool towels always available no matter what time of day. Not sure where some of the bad reviews come from but we recommend this resort to everyone, so pleased and cannot wait to return next year.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Holiday Inn Express Hotel Suites Matthews East; City: Matthews North Carolina; Review: Stayed here for business last month - very clean and comfortable...traffic on Independence is a nightmare at rush hour, but the hotel itself was very nice. I will definitely return when I am in town. Cracker Barrel next door was a convenient place to grab dinner.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hampton Inn Chattanooga West Lookout Mountain; City: Chattanooga Tennessee; Review: Booked this hotel through Expedia, and the Expedia operator confirmed our reservation with the hotel to include connected rooms, as we were staying with young kids and had 2 rooms. When checking in we were told all rooms that connected had already been rented. Were given two rooms across the hall from each other - not ideal, but okay. Went out to dinner and returned to find out keys didn't work to one room. My husband was told that 'we were in the wrong room!' Funny, since we didn't choose it ourselves. Apparently while we were out our room was rented to someone else who was given keys and went into the room only to see our belongings. A bit unsettling. The rooms were clean, large, and we had a great time other than this incident, they were apologetic, but clearly better training is needed to prevent this from happening in the future.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Stupa Guest House and Restaurant; City: Kathmandu Kathmandu Valley Bagmati Zone Central Regio; Review: Ram, the owner, is exceptionally friendly and helpful, especially in helping arrange onward travel or taxi's around Kathmandu. The bedrooms are all large, clean and comfortable. the food in the hotel is very good and well priced for Thamel. I stayed here 4 or 5 times while I was in Nepal and will go back when I next visit.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Horizon Homestay; City: Tansen Lumbini Zone Western Region; Review: This was my home in Nepal for 4 months and it truly did feel like home. The family are really lovely and always very helpful. They were especially helpful for me when I decided to get married in Tansen and helped me get so many things ready for the wedding. The rooms are comfortable and very clean. Hot water is always available in the shower, which is very very rare in Nepal! The food is excellent and there is always plenty of it. Tansen itself is a lovely town with some great walks available, both long and short. You can see most of the town from the balcony and there is a good view of the "White Lake" down in the valley. A walk up Shreenagar hill in the mornings gives a great view on the sunrise and the Anapurna range. If you are in Nepal it is well worth spending a few days getting to know Tansen.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shangri la New Dawn Home Stay; City: Pokhara Gandaki Zone Western Region; Review: I stayed here several times, whenever I had to visit Pokhara. The homestay is roughly a 15 minute walk from the centre of Lakeside, which was a big plus for me as the centre is too busy and noisy. Shangri-La felt a world away from the hustle and bustle, being very peaceful and relaxed. It's also only a 10 minute from the tourist bus park and immigration office (for visa renewal) which were both very useful for me. Krishna and Bishnu are very friendly and welcoming, always ready to help. The food is great and the rooms are spotlessly clean and comfortable. There are also 11 orphans living in another part of the home. They are really well cared for and it's great to know that the homestay's profits are going to such a wonderful cause.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stupa Guest House and Restaurant; City: Kathmandu Kathmandu Valley Bagmati Zone Central Regio; Review: I'm not sure how many times I've stayed here but it's a lot over the last 4 years. I always go back to Stupa because I know the beds are comfortable, they'll be hot water available in the shower, I can get a good breakfast in the morning and most of all because Ram and his family are as welcoming and helpful as you could possibly ask. Whatever I need help with (and working for a small NGO my requests range far beyond the standard tourist questions) Ram manages to help me somehow. See you all again soon!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Thamel Eco Resort; City: Kathmandu Kathmandu Valley Bagmati Zone Central Region; Review: I stopped off with my wife when we spotted the Yeti Bar and Tap Room, which is part of Thamel Eco Resort. They've got a big menu of imported beers, including largers,IPAs,stouts and ales. Although lots of the beers were out of stock there was still a better selection than I've seen anywhere else in Nepal and the staff gave good recommendations. If you like craft beer, or are just fed up of gassy, flavourless larger, then this is an essential stop; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Full Circle Tidy 100% Organic Cotton Dish Cloths, Set of 3, Multi; Brand: Full Circle; Review: I can't begin to tell how many dish cloths I have purchased through the many years of doing dishes. Never could seem to find just the right size and makeup. These from full circle are the best and ended my search. I gave each of my daughters a set for their stocking Christmas and told them their search was over as well. They wash up great, not easily stained, not thin and yet not too thick. Love them( really, what is my problem to love a dish cloth). Did I mention Amazon has a great price for them also.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: CIA Masters Collection 6-3/4-Inch Very Fine Mesh Strainer; Brand: CIA; Review: This strainer was a cooks illustrated best and they were right. For so long I had a real small mesh strainer and while it did the job, it took forever to strain because of it's size. This baby rocks. We make homemade ice cream a lot and it holds the whole batch.

Title: Andreas Round Silicone Mat Jar Opener, Lemons, 6.25 Inch; Brand: Andreas; Review: While these work great to open jars my main purpose was to keep bowls and such from slipping on plates. My husband and I eat more than a few meals in front of the TV. We eat a lot of soup in the cooler months and I needed something to keep our cups or bowls from sliding all over the plate. Here was my answer. I have fiestaware and use the jumbo cups with the luncheon plate and the 6-1/4 size fits perfect. I also ordered Andreas JO-23. Not only do they function well,they look nice. So pleased to have found these.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Andreas Round Silicone Mat Jar Opener, Lemons, 6.25 Inch; Brand: Andreas; Review: While I realize these are meant to open jars and they do, however I bought them to place on dinner plates when we have soup or anything that you would use a bowl for.

Title: Le Creuset Revolution Silicone Basting Brush, Cerise (Cherry Red); Brand: Le Creuset; Review: Seems in my old age I am going for more color in my kitchen, so when I saw this, had to have one.

Title: Le Creuset Stoneware 2-Quart Batter Bowl, Marseille; Brand: Le Creuset; Review: I looked at this bowl a while before I went for it.

Title: Le Creuset Revolution Silicone Jar Scraper, Cerise (Cherry Red); Brand: Le Creuset; Review: I like others wondered if I really needed this, yes, yes,and yes I did.

Know I will find other great uses. Think I made a good purchase. Love everything Le Creuset does.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Polder KTH-615 Dish Rack & Tray 4 PC Combo– Advantage System Includes Rack, Drain Tray, Removable Drying Tray; Brand: Polder; Review: I am so glad I didn't pay too much attention to some reviews of this product. I am really happy with it. I have no problem with items falling out. It looks so nice on the counter and holds more than I thought it would. As far taking care of it, no problems there either. A couple of times a week I wipe it down with a damp cloth. And one last thing, I LOVE the silverware holder. It stays in place, just perfect. So glad I made this purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RSVP Endurance 18/8 Stainless Steel Pierced Wide Rim Sink Strainer (SINK-4); Brand: RSVP International; Review: For so many years I have used those mesh strainers and while they did keep things from going down the drain, what a headache to keep clean. They had to be cleaned with a brush and just hated a much needed item. Love this strainer. It is all stainless steel and I love it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bread Slicer Elite, Brushed Stainless Steel Guide and Maple Wood Bread Board (5 Inch Loaf); Brand: Bread Slicer Depot; Review: I don't know how many types of slicers I have owned over the years of making bread, finally the search is over. It does require a long blade knife.[[ASIN:B008M5U1QI Victorinox Swiss Army 10-1/4-Inch Fibrox Wavy Bread Knife, Black]. From the start I have the most beautiful even bread slices. So much improvement over everything else I have tried. One thing that did concern me was the knife marks in that beautiful wood, so I took a clear flexable cutting board, cut to fit and it works like a charm. Love this product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Norpro 46 Mini Flexible Cutting Mat; Brand: NORPRO QUALITY FOR THE COOK; Review: I could not work without these great cutting boards. They come in handy for so many little jobs. I have a huge Boos Board, but I hate to get cut marks in it, so I reach for these every time.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: KitchenAid Teakettle 2-Quart Gourmet Essentials Porcelain Enamel Kettle, Green Apple; Brand: KitchenAid; Review: This kettle has had some bad reviews and I don't see it. I have not had my kettle long, but have used a good bit already. First off I read the directions, so I put the kettle on med. heat and when that sweet whistle sounded I moved off the burner for maybe 15 seconds. I had no splatter and no hot handle. I love this kettle. As for the color, well surfice to say this is the only green in my kitchen. I could not resist the color.

Title: Small Batter Bowl; Brand: Pampered Chef; Review: What a great batter bowl. It is the perfect size for small batches. I had read some folks complained that it was less than ideal when pouring.

Title: Regency Wraps RW1112 Regency Round Parchment Paper, Standard, White; Brand: Regency Wraps; Review: Could not get along without these. They are the perfect size ( not easy to find the 12"), for so many things. I use them mainly for my Breville Pizza Baker. I have not found them to be any thinner than any other parchment.

Title: Norpro Stainless Steel Sprayer/Mister; Brand: Norpro; Review: Love it. My daughter said I needed one of these and I am so glad I listened. Filled with olive oil and have not looked back. There are a lot of misters on the market, however according to my girl they are not all equal. This is my first and it works perfect every time. I used to go to the trouble of rubbing butter on potatoes to bake, now I spray them with olive oil. If it ever has to be replaced it will be another Norpro.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Teak Cutting Board - Rectangle Carving Board With Hand Grip (20 x 15 x 1.5 in.) - By Teakhaus; Brand: Teakhaus; Review: I have had several cutting boards, never seemed to find just the right size for my space. I have a really big board on my island that I love, but I do not use it to cut things. It is my bread kneading and pie making space. This board I ordered after much research. Knew the minute I took it from the box it was perfect. Not only the size, the wood is so beautiful. Can't go wrong with this one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Joseph Joseph Catcher, Citrus Reamer, Grey; Brand: Joseph Joseph; Review: My friend and I were in a little shop that had this reamer in a set of several items.

Title: AMCO 864 B0000CFXHJ Stainless Steel Measuring Cups, Set of 4, Standard, Silver; Brand: Amco; Review: These measuring cups came highly recommended by Cooks Illustrated and I really do trust most of their reviews and these are no exception. No they are not heavy and most likely will not last as long as some, however that was not my reason for ordering them. As far as being accurate they are spot on and in baking what is more important that that. I find you have to give them some care. Priced well and I would recommend and would purchase again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: simplehuman Compact Sensor Pump with Sample Soap, White, 8oz; Brand: simplehuman; Review: We do not know how we managed without these. Talk about not spreading germs.

I already had a smaller simple human can, but we decided to upgrade. So glad we did. Was a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. I have not noticed any odors as a reviewer said she had. Such a great purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ateco Stainless Steel Hexagon Cutter; Brand: Ateco; Review: I used this for the first time this morning and I am so impressed. We all know the less you handle dough the better your biscuits will be. I always put my bowl with flour and butter in the freezer for fifteen minutes before I made my biscuits. My iron skillet goes in the oven as it preheats. I just lightly pat my dough out and press this cutter in and my biscuits were ready for the oven. I love it. So much easier than using a regular biscuit cutter. Think this will make great stocking stuffers for those biscuit makers on my list. Great purchase.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lodge 12 Inch Square Cast Iron Grill Pan. Ribbed 12-Inch Square Cast Iron Grill Pan with Dual Handles.; Brand: Lodge; Review: Not much to say except I love this new addition to my cast iron collection. Has a lot of cooking surface. I was torn between this and the grill that fits over two burners, however, I chose this because I have a smooth top range and wan just concerned about several things, including the spot where no burner is. Anyway, this turned out to be perfect for us. And hey, buy a chain from Amazon for cleaning cast iron, love it and so worth the twenty bucks.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Waring WDF75RC 8.5 lb. Commercial Countertop Deep Fryer 120V; Brand: Waring; Review: I bought this as a replacement for an older fryer made much like this one with the heating element exposed. Love this baby. Did French Fries for lunch and they cooked quickly and to perfection. The oil heated fast and it maintained the temp. I sat it to.

Title: RSVP Endurance Small 18/8 Stainless Steel Scoop; Brand: RSVP; Review: While on a trip to visit my daughter we came across these scoops in a shop and thought how great they would be in flour and sugar canister, Did not purchase them.

I have had several toaster ovens and hands down the Breville is the best. I bought my first Breville about five or six years ago and except for the fact that it did not have a light I was very happy with it. When the Pro came out with a light I was beyond happy. Love everything about it. I passed my old one on to a friend and she loves it. Cooks even, use mine every day. Worth every penny. By the way I Ordered a second rack from Breville. Can't go wrong. I ordered mine from Sur La Table and they shipped the same day. William- Sonoma is the only other place I have found it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: KitchenAid KTEN20SBER 2.0-Quart Kettle with Full Stainless Steel Handle and Trim Band - Empire Red; Brand: KitchenAid; Review: WOW, what a beauty. The picture does not do justice to this beautiful kettle. I was a little hesitant to pay this much for a tea kettle. It has been proven to be well worth it. It does have heft to it. Performs flawless. I have read reviews where folks talked about rust. After I boil water in my kettle I always wipe the inside of the lid and all around the inside. Then I leave the lid off and let it air dry. I gave my old kitchen aid kettle away and it was still like new. I am loving this one. The color is soooo beautiful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Cimo Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Gloss Premium Flexible TPU Cover for Samsung Galaxy S III S3 - Frosted Clear; Brand: Cimo; Review: Really do love this cover for my new S3! It's clear enough that it almost looks like there's no cover on it. But the phone is so thin and slippery that this makes a world of difference. It's just right for some protection without all the bulk Thanks!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: OtterBox Commuter Series Case for Samsung Galaxy S III - Purple; Brand: OtterBox; Review: A cover made to protect...for real. You can feel the quality. Hope I don't ever put it to the test, but I feel like my phone is suited up for it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bobino Phone Holder - Black - Stylish Minimalist Charging Shelf; Brand: Bobino; Review: Seemed like a good idea at the time. I guess I just have too many good places to charge my phone....this really is not helpful.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Ariza Imperial Samsung Galaxy S5 / Galaxy SV / Galaxy S V Tempered Glass Screen Protector - Premium Quality; Brand: Ariza Imperial; Review: This is a great screen protector. So easy to put on - no bubbles - keeps my phone looking new. Thanks!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Car Cell Phone Holder - iholder the CLEVER Phone Holder - For Your Car's Dashboard, Home, Office; Brand: MK Global; Review: Bought it for my friend's Lumia 635. Did not hold the weight of his phone....even a short while :-( We've ordered another style.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Screen Protector, Corefyco Full Coverage Screen Protector; Brand: Corefyco; Review: I've had this on my phone since October and love it. I was so tired of messing with the plastic protectors....could rarely get one on without bubbles. And even if I was lucky enough to get a good install, the edges would loosen. But this is just like having nothing on the screen. I use a lens wipe and it looks like new again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Cell_Phones_and_Accessories |

Title: Nemosine Singularity Fountain Pen, Fine German Nib, Demonstrator (NEM-SIN-01-F); Brand: Nemosine; Review: All things considered, I have to give this fountain pen a comprehensive five stars. What a great value! For a relatively "cheap" pen, I found its components, construction, and attention to detail superb. I favor the smallest, extra fine nib available, which is sometimes hard to find. EF was available, and I am delighted to report that it lays down a smooth, flowing line. Sometimes EF nibs can feel scratchy due to their tiny size (although this is usually operator error -- you have to know how to hold and slant the pen for smooth glide on the itty-bitty tip). The package included an ink converter plus six blue ink cartridges. I don't know what brand of ink is in the cartridges, but I might buy more if I did. The color is a gentle blue that flows just right and does not clog. I haven't used the converter yet, but it appears similar to other screw-fill converters that I have; I don't expect any problems. I'm a writer and a fountain pen enthusiast (euphemism for fountain pen "nut"). I do lots of journaling. I like the clear, see-through barrel, so I can see ink levels, as I write. I'm tempted to buy more at that price, one for every color of ink I have. One just can't have too many fountain pens and ink colors.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheaffer Skrip Bottled Ink, Black, (SR/94231); Brand: Sheaffer; Review: You can't go wrong with Sheaffer ink. It has endured reliably over a long history. I recall using it in country grade school, and you don't want to know how old I am. As back then, it is still smooth flowing, strong color, and it dries amply fast for me. I chose it again because I know it will not disappoint me. I am a writer who loves writing with fountain pens; I journal prolifically. I feel confident with the performance of any Sheaffer product.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nemosine Singularity Fountain Pen, Fine German Nib, Demonstrator (NEM-SIN-01-F); Brand: Nemosine; Review: I love fountain pens, not just to collect them, but also to write with them! How they lay down a line of ink is more important to me than how they look. This Nemosine has good components, is well designed and constructed, and writes very nicely. Oh, . . . and you can't beat the economical price for what you get.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sheaffer Skrip Jet Blue/Black Bottled Ink, 50ml -94211; Brand: Cross; Review: Good old Sheaffer ink -- Dries fast. Doesn't bleed. Flows smoothly. The rest is simply color preferences -- you either like the colors available or not. Sheaffer's blue/black is muted, almost grayish. But I like it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: VTech CS6419 DECT 6.0 Cordless Phone with Caller ID, Expandable up to 5 Handsets, Wall-Mountable, Silver/Black; Brand: VTech; Review: Some other reviews were not happy with the performance of these phones. However, the price was enticing, so we decided to risk giving them a try in our small office, especially since you had the option of adding two more handsets. We have had zero problems with them. The sound comes through just fine, including on speaker phone, which is a must, when you are waiting in line on hold . . . with the phone company. We've used them for many months and had no battery problems, either. We like the intercom feature and the individual ringtones for individual phone numbers. When the phone rings, you know who it is for, and you can take 'your' call on whatever handset you are near, not just the one at your own desk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Office_Products |

Title: Hotel Capo Reamol; City: Limone sul Garda Province of Brescia Lombardy; Review: The room was small but the swimming was delightful, the view can't be beat. A center for wind surfing, the lake has a constant breeze. The mountains surround it like a wind tunnel. We spent a lovely afternoon by the water.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree Suites by Hilton Boston Cambridge; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: I have stayed here multiple times on business. It is a clean and comfortable hotel. Easy to use. Right across the Charles River from Cambridge. You can walk to Harvard Business School. Ask for a room away from the elevators.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Courtyard Cranbury South Brunswick; City: Cranbury New Jersey; Review: We stayed overnight at this Marriott just off the Jersey Turnpike. It was comfortable, clean, and well-priced. I recommend it highly. They have a pool and whirlpool. Staff is friendly. Perfect for travelers.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place UC Davis; City: Davis California; Review: My room was moldy and looked out on a wall about 4 feet away. The eggs at breakfast were neither warm no appetizing. In general, this place should be able to do much better. I think their location must be making them complacent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Residence Inn Los Angeles Burbank Downtown; City: Burbank California; Review: I was very pleased with this hotel. It was clean, easy to use,breakfast was included. It was fine. Staff was friendly. My only problem was that the air condition sounded like a jet taking off when it started up and the thermostat didn't have separate heat and AC controls.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Gardner Farm Inn; City: Troy New York; Review: This is a terrific B & B on the edge of Troy along the Poestenkill River. The house was originally built in 1790 and has been decorated in an eclectic retro style that is warm and welcoming. The rooms are large and airy. John is a wonderful host. And Troy is the next undiscovered destination town on the Hudson. It has some great restaurants. We loved Peck's Arcade recommended by John who got us a reservation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Agriturismo La Pietriccia; City: Chianciano Terme Tuscany; Review: We stayed two nights in the Agave apartment. The apartment was comfortable. Staff was nice. The only problem was that dogs bark most of the night. We were tired so we mostly slept but it was annoying. The apartment is about 200feet down the road from La Pietricia, run by a partner operation. The food in the restaurant was simple, delicious and a very food value.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Endless Magic: The Star-Crossed Series (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: This was a pretty good ending to Eden and Kiran's story. The final chapter I felt was bit rushed, and lacked the "oh my goodness it's the end!!" factor. But I didn't have any questions (which I def hate!!!) I can't wait to read the Reluctant King, and continue on with the other character stories.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Rush (The Siren Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: This was an okay book. Yes the book ends with non real ending, but it's a good beginning to a new series. The book unfolds slowly, but you have the point of the book by half way through. Ivy is a bit whiney in the beginning but she does seem to mature a bit by the end. It's peaked my interest and I will be waiting for the next book, I want to see how Ivy and friends get through the next couple of years.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Fall (The Siren Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: I don't even know where to start. I wasn't completely in love with The Rush, but it had captured my attention enough to want to know what was going to happen to Ivy and Ryder. This book has sealed the deal. I am completely in love with this series. Ivy has really grown, emotionally and mentally, with all the craziness that has happened around her. She has become such a beautiful character, I have to say she is my favorite! And Ryder, we'll lets just say the last chapters of the book really stepped him up in my eyes, I love this guy. November is way too far away!!!!! Great job, as always, Rachel Higginson. My mind is still trying to deal with all of what I just read, and my heart has fallen in love with The Siren Series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Heir of Secrets (The Starbright Series) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: This has got to be my most favorite series. Stella's is now 17 years old and a senior in high school. I love watching this girl grow and mature. This book was more of an eye opener to her, and I see her truly embracing her Protector role. Seth, oh Seth. The battle inside of him is painful to read, even more than what Stella has to go through with him. The journey ahead of the characters will not be an easy one, I'm nervous to see just how many more betrayals and lies will be revealed before her 18th birthday. Can she protect the world while saving Seth?? And the way it ended, wowza, this will be hard for her!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bound by Duty (Bound Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Stormy Smith Page; Review: Wow. You have done an amazing job!!!!! Oh my goodness I am hooked.

Bethany is one kick ass best friend!!! I'm super excited to see how this all works out, cause right now it feels like a hot mess for them ;). Ms. Smith, you have sucked me into a magical world. I love the story, the characters, the dialogue, my list goes on and on. I felt almost every emotion reading this. My stomach was in knots towards the end, and I still feel it. I can not wait for your next book. Great job :); Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Five Stages of Falling in Love; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: When I first found out Rachel was writing this book, I got excited. Excited because this was something new for her. But, I also got sad. Sad because the teasers she was releasing, my heart broke so quickly. From the second I started reading, I was in tears. I knew what was going to happen, I knew he was going to pass away, I just didn't know how much the aftermath would hurt. I went through each stage with Liz, I laughed, I cried, I was hating the world, I even laughed and cried at the same time. And I healed with her. (Seriously, this book messed me up!!) but, the beauty, it's there. It's in a freshly mown lawn, a gallon of milk, bottles of wine, it's in family and it's in healing. This book. Ah, it's ugly, it's devastating, it's heartbreaking, but it is beautiful. As always, Rachel, you have written an amazing book. But this time, you wrote a truly beautiful book. It was so real, so painful. It touched my heart and soul, and even now, I want to tear up thinking about it. Please read this book. It affects you so much more than just grabbing a couple of tissues, it stays with you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Every Wrong Reason; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: I just love honest books. Books that you can relate with. Books that make you feel so intensely, that you get lost in them and feel it's happening to you. This is again, one of those books. Plus, I'm a sucker for angsty, emotional books. Marriage is tough. Bringing two people together, I can understand why Kate felt the way she did. When not actively communicating, relationships can fall through the cracks. Yes, in the beginning she is an unlikable character, she doesn't see fault in anything but Nick, yet I still relate. I have gotten defensive and pointed fingers myself, so to me that made her human. She does turn around, and sees what she needs to do for herself, and that helps out with her relationship. Nick, I didn't care much for him in the beginning of the book. I saw him through Kate's eyes, so I saw him as lazy, unmotivated and too laid back. Again, he turns around by the end, and totally redeems himself ;) This book made me feel the feels. It did what it's intended to do. It drew me in, and made me feel way too much!! ;) The reality of divorce is unsettling, it hurts and leaves brokenness behind, that can take years to rebuild. It was a breath of fresh air, this book. It made me look within myself, and realize marriage isn't always pretty, but it is worth it when you fight.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Love and Decay: Revolution, Episode One: Pre-Order Edition - Kindle edition; Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: Wow. The New POVs make such a big difference. This new part of the series is going to be amazing. I'm excited to reunite with everyone, but I love love love Page and Miller. I can not wait to fall even more in love with these characters.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Opposite of You (Opposites Attract Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Rachel Higginson Page; Review: This book. I rushed through this book, because I'd been waiting for this release for what feels like forever. I reread it after, of course, and it still hit me right in my heart. The main characters are perfect, Vera was strong and independent, yet fragile and so very human. She's such a relatable character, we've all been in her shoes at least once in our life. And Killian, he's arrogant and strong willed, but he's exactly what Vera needs. The chemistry and balance that these characters bring to the table is beautiful. Great job as always.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Canon EOS 1D Mark III 10.1MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) (Discontinued by Manufacturer); Brand: Canon; Review: In the last 3 years I have gone from 2 different point and shot cameras to the Canon 30D to the Canon Mark III. With each camera, I was telling myself - this should do it for some time. I read and learned as much as I could with each camera. When I got the 30D I was on cloud 9 - this was great - it would be nice to shoot faster though. When I heard about the Mark III coming out, I knew that was hopefully the last stepping stone I would require for sometime. This thing rocked - couldn't believe how fast it could shot. I was surprised at how many shots were out of focus though (birding). I didn't experience anything like this on the 30D. I read about the AI focus problems and thought - well this is what is happening to me. For the next 5 months Canon stone walled me on a weekly basis. Promised firmware fixes, this fix that fix, reps telling me off. I wrote a letter to Yoroku Adachi (President of Canon U.S.A.) and got a call back from one of his people. Very apologetic but same old please be patient and apologies galore - but still we won't replace it with a functioning camera - it is a minor issue (again I was told that by numerous reps) - I say it is only minor if you don't use those features. 5 months later it got fixed. I missed the birding season but there is next year (I was told that by a rep too!). It looks like the problem is fixed and looking forward to spring migration. If someone is reading this and hasn't purchased any camera gear yet, buy Nikon. I have too much invested in Canon gear to switch. I would probably give the camera 4.5-5 stars now. Canon Support would get a 0. Updated: May 29th, 2008 With the latest firmware updates and hardware fix, I would give this Camera an easy 5 stars. I have shot plays indoors at ISO 1600 (no flash) and can't believe how sharp shots come out. My issue is still with Canon Tech (lack of) Support. I called yesterday about the WFT-E2A and got the usual run-a-round about the product. If you don't think you will ever need Canon Tech (lack of) Support, go Canon. Updated October 11th, 2009 Well, I finally sent my camera in because I have been getting Error 99's since February - It is nice that it is working agaiin but I have no idea what to say about this camera - when it works it is great but I have had it for about 26 months and out of that time it had either the auto focus problem out of the box and error 99 problems. I would say I have had to deal with the camera being defective for about half of the time I have had it. Canon Support had me do all this useless stuff which of course involved me spending money on; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L ll USM Zoom Lens for Canon EF Cameras; Brand: Canon; Review: I use this lens with the Canon Mark III & Canon 40D. It was a bit $$$ but worth every penny. I have uploaded some images to the amazon gallery that are from bright sunny days to hand held at night. I also posted a shot of the milky way if you look under the Canon Mark III images. It was a bit of an investment, but when you start seeing what you can shoot with it, you will be happy you did. If you don't want to spend all the $$$, the Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Lens. This has also gotten some great reviews.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Canon WFT-E2A Wireless File Transmitter; Brand: Canon; Review: The WFT-E2A Review: I have been using this product for about a year before I finally wrote this review. I try not to jump the gun before I post a review. If there are issues, I want to give tech support plenty of time to get new firmware updates out etc. One of the main reasons I purchased this device was it's initial advertisement of working with jump drives or a portable self powered hard drive are not true. Since the product has come out, the online literature has changed. You can check out Chuck Westfall talking about this product at [...] . At the 5:00 minute mark, he talks about all the stuff you can backup to. Well this isn't what is delivered to the door. The only thing the USB connection will work with is a USB hard drive that is powered by an AC adapter. So if you have a self powered USB drive like the Epson 2000, Wolverine ESP products, it just doesn't work. I found an article at [...] and they tested a preproduction version of this product and it worked with numerous devices that do not work on the finished product. The other issue that is big is it will not auto focus a shot when you are shooting remotely. So if your camera is outside (on your deck) and you are inside (at the computer facing your camera that is on your deck) you are really hoping that bird will land just at the right spot or you have an out of focus shot. I now shot with the Canon TC80N3 and a 33 foot extension in combination with the WFT-E2A. I can remotely change settings on the camera with the WFT-E2A, and take the picture with the Canon TC80N3. I could have also got a USB hub and long USB cable and accomplished the same thing and saved $[...]s. I do like this product when it is hooked up to the telescope though. I can sit inside and remotely control the telescope, camera, and focusing (on the telescope) without any vibration or cables running all over the place (you really don't trip on any of those cables in the dark at 4:00AM - really). I did test 3 different GPS devices with it and none of those worked - none of the devices that I tested were on the approved list of GPS units set by Canon though. Again, this is worth researching to make sure what you have is on the approved list. So you really have to ask yourself what do I want this product for? If you want to backup to a USB device in the field, I would say don't get it because you need to be close enough to a power source. If you want to shoot remotely and have the camera autofocus, don't get this product. If you are in a studio where you control everything, this product is for you but chances are you can run that long USB cable to your camera and save yourself some; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Celestron Celestron Rechargeable Power Supply PowerTank 17, 12v 17Ah, Black (18777); Brand: Celestron; Review: I have owned this for over 2 years now. It has been sent back to Celestron once ($30 shipping) and just died again. When it is not in use, it sits in the house in a plastic bin - charged every two months. Went to use it 2 weeks ago and it flaked out again. Celestron sent me a new AC adapter but that didn't do the trick. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT!!; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Mech Warrior 4: Mercenaries - PC; Brand: by
Microsoft; Review: I started out getting hooked on Mechwarrior 2. MW4 is my favorite all time game. You can play on the MSN Gaming Zone....with a total of 16 players at the same time! There are MANY leagues for online play, and many "units" to join. Engage in combat against the computer, or against humans online. Team play is fabulous. I use voice communications programs with the game and you talk while you fight. I use Battlecom for voice. Graphics are excellent. You need a good computer to play this. You should also get the IS and CLAN "Mechpaks". Getting Mechwarrior 4 is also recommended. You can download additional maps for Mercenaries at various websites. The Microsoft Sidewinder Precision Pro joystick is great with this game. To me, games like QUAKE are no comparison. You pilot a walking tank, from 35 to 100 tons. Many types. You have to configure and choose weapons. Lasers, missles, cannon, the works. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Logitech G35 7.1-Channel Surround Sound Gaming Headset; Brand: Logitech; Review: Nice surround sound, high quality sound. Excellent all around. For this price, a bargain. Comfortable.

Title: World of Tanks [Download]; Brand: by
The Wargaming Company; Review: This is my current online game. I have been playing it for over two years. I just love tanks, and this game. It is perfect for me. You can play entirely for free. BUT. It is easily addictive and you can spend lotsa money, I do. The only thing you may really need to spend real money on is to change out some "components". But you can use in game earned credits to just buy these. There are a LOT of vehicles to chose from. You can buy some vehicles with real coin, and these do earn more credits. BUT. To crew them up to 100% right away you need to spend real money. You can crew up for free, or use some earned credits for this. Paid for tanks are not really as powerful of other tanks in their tier or class, but are fun. You can play open games (15 vs 15), team up in platoons of 3, join tank companies, or participate in formal matches of various kinds (but you may need to "join a clan" for this). Fun game.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corsair Vengeance 1300 Analog 3.5mm Gaming Headset (CA-9011111-WW); Brand: Corsair; Review: Very overrated and very very overpriced. Surround is poor in all settings. NO real low frequency response. Better than a voice headset,soundwise, but in no way a real gaming headset. Physical comfort is good. Build is solid so far. Price I see now on this item is just ridiculous. Worth maybe half the asking price at best. NOT recommended.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Defiance - PC; Brand: by

Title: Logitech G105 Gaming Keyboard; Brand: Logitech; Review: Build quality seems ok. Works with the software with my G930 headset. Good key;board except for one major flaw. The key labels.

Title: Lilyhammer (Season 1) - 3-DVD Set ( Lilyhammer - Season One ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2.4 Import; Brand: Fridtjov Sheim; Review: A quirky show that has such a ridiculous premise it actually works. Jolting transplant from the NY Mafia to the placid slopes and valleys of Lillehammer. (I'm not sure why they changed the spelling).

Kind of slow and herky-jerky and way out of sync with the Lone Ranger of legend, lore and literature. But Johnny Depp is just oddball enough as Tonto to make it fun now and then. Worth watching.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Better Angels; Brand: Diane Kruger; Review: Beautiful but odd little movie focusing entirely on a short period in Abraham Lincoln's childhood in the backwoods of Indiana.

Title: Omeya Suites Hotel; City: Martil Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: It turned up to be a fine experience especially with the great beach view, the spacious rooms, and the fine service. The jazz club could be a bit noisy but we were in the fifth floor so it wasn't such a bother. It's a bit overpriced as it has no pool.. but it a nice place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hilton Garden Inn Tanger City Center; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: We definitely didn't regret choosing Hilton for one night stay. Everything was just fine and you feel that you're taken cared of. The located is amazing; you don't just get the beach view but you are literally feets away from the train station and 5 mins away from the city center. We were even gifted a bithday cake when they knew that it was my partner's bithday. The staff are very friendly and cooperative..; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dar Echchaouen; City: Chefchaouen Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: I had a very nice stay at Dar Chefchaouen. Everything is special and charming there. The decor is very traditional which enriches your Moroccan experience, great attention to details, the suite is spacious and cozy, the surroundings are beautiful. You get to see the blue city as well as the nature the beautiful green and mountainy views that surround it. The city is just feets away for you to discover and enjoy its unique architecture and colors. There is a beautiful piscine to make use of and indoor food is served. I'll definitely go back there!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ceuta Puerta de Africa; City: Ceuta; Review: I enjoyed my short stay in there but I am gonna list some pros and cons: Pros: - Really nice location, right in the city center. - Should you need to go anywhere, the taxi station is right outside. - The room was simple but tidy and you have everything you need (Even if you forgot to being your toothbrush and paste). Cons: - After being given a lot of codes to register to the WIFI, the connection wasn't worth it. - No breakfast; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Chellah Hotel Tangier; City: Tangier Tangier Tetouan Region; Review: Pros: The rooms were simple but clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. And the place has a special 60s feel about it. Cons: There were contractions taking place right over our heads, and we couldn't sleep as much as we pleased. The Internet connection is non existant on the 4th floor where we stayed.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Turunc Resort; City: Turunc Marmaris District Mugla Province Turkish Aegean Coast; Review: My sister and I travelled to Turkey and stayed in hotel Turunc. The hotel was lovely, pool was gorgeous and sunbeds obtainable if up early. Beach was also nice an water lovely and warm. Food was 6/10. The bread was so fresh and has to get a 10/10 but the rest was anything special but typical of Turkish hotels. I got by on soup,bread and brekkie but my sister is fussy and just lived on bread. One night there was a delicious paella though served by the pool. Travelled outside the hotel once but stayed at the hotel after that to avoid the overfriendly men. Overall I would re-visit if on the rare occasion that I decided to return to Turkey :-); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Hotel Kranjska Gora; City: Kranjska Gora Upper Carniola Region; Review: A bit dubious before arriving due to previous reviews, however my partner and I were very happy with Hotel Lek. Paid for a superior room which basically includes a balcony but after being allocated a room at the back of the hotel we asked reception if there was availabilty at the front with views etc and this was sorted for us in a few minutes by a very helpful man. Rooms were spacious and bathroom decorated to a high spec we felt. Food was delicious. I am a fussy eater but found plenty to eat at breakfast and dinner. Restaurant staff were very efficiant and friendly, including the manager and we enjoyed all our meals. The salad at dinner was fab, as was the soup and main selection. Free use of internet wasa bonus and pool and whirlpool were good for those rainy days. We hired a car for one day so that we could drive across to both Italy and Austria. Our rep quoted us £60 for one day, however we went online at the hotel and found the website Economy Cars' where we purchased car hire for 30 Euro only, including insurance with no access. The car was booked 2 days in advance and was dropped and picked-up from our hotel which was brilliant. It may be worth doing this rather than taking the buses which were quite expensive eg £12 each to Bled and back or £18 each to the capital. Those buses take forever as well! Scenery was fantastic especially from Hotel Lek. Little town was lovely and the best location we came across in Slovenia. Food was very reasonable. There was a really good pizza restaurant and a nice Slovenian restaurant that we found where we were getting a massive lunch for under 15 Euro inc drinks for the two of us. This compares to a tiny lunch with ine drink between us in Taviso Italy where we were robbed of 16 Euro for the a bit of lettuce, a plate of pasta and a soup. Austria which was much better value. At night we went to the nearest Casino on the main road and actually left £70 up after a few visits so we cant complain. Soft drinks were also free while you gambled and they do have bingo as well. We booked with Ingrams and would do again, as our transfers were very organised and the rep was full of knowledge. For you fisherman out there, be warned that a day permit around the town is 20 Euro with a lack of fish. Lake Bled has plently of fish including carp, however the permit is 50 Euro a day!! They mostly fly fish in the rivers. Lake Bled by the way, ok but very over priced. Horse & cart rides were advertised as 30 Euro and 12 Euros for the boat trips. We opted for the little train around the lake which was 3 Euros each. Overall we were glad that we chose Hotel Lek as we believe it is the best hotel there and; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Phangan Utopia Resort; City: Ko Pha Ngan Surat Thani Province; Review: As long as you have transport (moped) you cant go wrong. Beautiful scenery,free dvds and huts were great with a lot of character. You can request no breakfast to cut costs. Be wary of putting things on your room bill however, as I ordered filtered coffee a few times in the restaurant but was charged for ground coffee on each occasion. This was rectified when questioned,however I was made to feel that I was making it up!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Hibiscus Motel; City: Key West Florida Keys Florida; Review: Great big, exceptionally clean rooms. Great pool and breakfast. Not too far from the main drag. We loved this hotel. It was brilliant sitting around the pool and the children loved it. No More shopping around next time we go to Key West!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Clarion Inn Ormond Beach; City: Ormond Beach Florida; Review: My family and I loved this hotel. Clean rooms, a great bar and a fantastic friendly service from the front desk. Costs more than the few hotels near by but you get what you pay for. Nice pool as well. Also the added benefit of a good loyalty scheme.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Americas Best Value Inn St Augustine Beach; City: Saint Augustine Beach St Augustine Florida; Review: Stayed in this hotel through the Florida coupon book. For the price, we thought this was a fantastic hotel Nice pool and lovely clean rooms. Recently decorated from the look of it. Front desk were very friendly.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The M hotel; City: Orlando Florida; Review: This is the worst hotel that we have ever stayed in. We often stay in budget hotels, so there is no possibility of us having high expectations. We booked for two nights online but only stayed for 8 hours overnight, as the hotel was that bad. We could have lived with the terrible rooms but there were so many shady characters (including a prostitute) around the hotel rooms on arrival at 1am, that we felt the need to raise our concerns with the front desk straight away. If not for the time and the 24 hours of travelling before hand, we would have gone elsewhere straight away. We did not feel that this was a safe place for our children to stay. No checks were done following our visit to the front desk and our refund request was refused. Please do not stay, especially with children.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Americas Best Value Inn Cocoa Port Canaveral; City: Cocoa Brevard County Florida; Review: Booked this in a rush as in was late at night during a road trip. Absolute dive. The rooms were filthy and we were all itching after staying in the beds, not from bugs but from some kind of chemical of strong detergent. The smell of the bedding was trying to mask the smell of damp. Hadn't even been hoovered properly. The pool area was fine. Second worse hotel during our three week road trip. Shady people around. Breakfast minimal. Have stayed in other lovely American Best Value Inns, so not sure what happened to this place!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Super 8 by Wyndham Daytona Beach; City: Daytona Beach Florida; Review: The rooms were poor to average, with plugs hanging off wall etc and no aircon in second room of suite but they were fairly clean. Breakfast was good and the location by the beach was prefect. Pool was ok too.; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
