travel to palm beach florida

USA, accommodation, family travel March 21st, 2008

When traveling to sunny Palm Beach Florida, you may want to consider the Breakers Hotel as it seems to be a great accommodation spot for travelers. Besides the spa, golf course, and a 1/2 mile sandy beach, there is also a separate pool for the kids, a family entertainment center, and a kid’s program. Families can reserve up to five adjoining rooms while children under the age of 16 can stay for free in the same room as their parents. The fitness freaks can sweat it out on the elliptical machines while the ones who long for some pampering can head for the spa. Also, if you decide to take your beach vacation in Orlando, the Loews Hard Rock Hotel offers you plenty of beach and amusement rides, with a 240 foot slide and a white sandy beach.

I’ve been trying to hint and convince my other half on visiting Spain for our annual vacation this year. After learning that one of my friends is going to Spain next week with her hubby, I am so green with envy. Apart from the fantastic shopping scene in Spain, I have heard much about the lovely sights and landmarks that bring visitors from all over the world back again year after year.

There’s the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Madison Square Garden and God knows what else. But the question is…where do you stay in New York City? Read the rest of this entry »

how about a UK vacation?

UK, accommodation January 27th, 2008

There are something special about the Yorkshire cities and for me, it’s the scenery that can enchant any non-traveler - the green rolling hills, the colourful blooms in spring and summer and charming architecture of old buildings.

Making a trip to the UK is a sure thing for us once our little boy is old enough to walk miles by himself cos we anticipate that there is much sightseeing to do in every city we plan to visit. I heard about the relaxing lifestyle in York so this is one city not to be excluded on a UK trip. There are many York Hotels to choose from at accommodation sites like Cheaper than hotel who also provides a good selection of hotels of various ratings for Leeds Hotels, Sheffield Hotels and more. And even if you are on a budget, you can find cheap Nottingham hotels at the user-friendly site. Don’t forget to use the star ratings as a guide too.

darling harbour hotels in sydney

accommodation, australia, travel resources January 24th, 2008

It’s been five years since we last visited Sydney, one of my favourite cities in Australia. I like it for its vibrant culture, colourful arts precinct, great shopping and temperate climate. I could still remember our Sydney harbour climb, it started to rain when we were up on the bridge and we were drenched after the climb. Nevertheless, it was an experience of a lifetime. We stayed for a couple of nights at Four Points Sheraton Darling Harbour Sydney, an upscale hotel that offered great service, nice rooms and luxury comfort.

nice reception staff in Hilton Hawaiian and Marriott Waikiki

accommodation, hawaii January 11th, 2008

Whenever I check in to a hotel, I tend to notice the reception desk and the service staff, to see if the hotel has lived up to its reputation. My first encounter with Hilton Hawaiian Village had been a pleasant one - the staff was friendly and helpful and most importantly, there were sufficient service staff at the reception to assist the guests. Imagine waiting in line in front of a big reception area but there is only one person to help the hotel guests? Marriott Waikiki reception staff are commendable too. We checked in early on that morning and they were helpful in settling us in though the intended room reserved for us wasn’t ready.

I believe a nice hotel team makes me feel that the rates I paid for is worth the while. Most importantly, it helps to determine if I will be back again.

how about these luxurious dubai apartments?

accommodation, middle east December 6th, 2007

While chatting with an old friend on msn the other day, he was mentioning about the possibility of being sent to Dubai to head a new company. When I heard that, I was excited for him! Dubai is one place I would love to visit one day, after hearing some much raving reports about its recent growth and development - its billion dollar healthcare project, the modernity and bustling tourism industry, not forgetting the zero corporate tax rate for business people.

What I don’t know is that there are also short term luxury Dubai apartments out for rent if you don’t like to stay in the usual commercial hotels. As a mom of an active toddler, I have learnt to appreciate the convenience and flexibility of renting a hotel apartment when we are on vacation. It makes life easier for me and my three year old. Imagine the space you got, the cosy ambience, the non-restrictive room layout and the freedom to prepare your own meals in the self-contained apartment.
