Christmas Tree 3997 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 "What an absolute ball ache trying to pick a hotel in Venice." Not really - there's the Cipriani and the others.............. We're slumming it in the Gritti in March Very nice. I opted for the Moresco in the end just because it was voted no 1 on tripadvisor so it must be ok. I get the impression however that it matters little where you stay given the size of the place. I quite like the idea of a garden terrace to see off a few night caps before bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W 0 Posted February 13, 2014 Share Posted February 13, 2014 Yes - you really don't want to be lurking in a hotel room when you're in a place liek that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Besty 4 Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 Duck pizza Been to Alcudia the last couple years, the first time being the bairns first holiday abroad and it's been great. Mainly because of the apartments we stayed at, little one loved it. Going all inclusive to Kardamena in Kos this year, will be there when the World Cup is on. Never been to Greece before (or on a flight over 2 and a bit hours) so really looking forward to it. Not long now! Just booked up for Rhodes in 2015 too.

Dr Gloom 19824 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I'm off to stavagna in Norway for a long weekend in a couple of weeks to see the fjords. Planning a late summer break somewhere warm. Undecided where yet. Anyone got any original suggestions? Looking for something fairly chilled - a bit of luxury that's also family friendly.

Gemmill 34448 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Back from Turkey - landed 3am so a bit fucked and not a fan of 1am flights. Had a good holiday though, and can recommend the Marmaris Imperial hotel if anyone fancies a bit of all inclusive lazing about. Unfortunately the same family of 8 tramps from Sunderland were on the return flight, as were on the outbound. Just the 5 kids with them as they left the 16 year old at home. Thankfully not at our hotel as there were no kids allowed, but what a bunch of animals. He got into an argument with the stewardesses on the way out and basically sat in a huff allowing his kids to run riot for 4 hours. They were a bit more subdued on the way back.
