Lusty Beg Hotel, Co. Fermanagh

Set in the heart of the County Fermanagh Lakelands, this hotel is located on a private 75 acre island paradise and offers the perfect blend of business, leisure and pleasure. It is accessed by a short ferry trip across Lough Erne, a feature in itself.  It is easily accessible to all parts of Co Fermanagh, and also to Co. Donegal in the neighbouring Republic of Ireland.

From the moment you step off the ferry you can be sure of a warm and friendly welcome. The waters of Lough Erne are to be seen from the hotel, and from most of the facilities on site.  The open fire in the entrance lounge is so full of the warmth that Northern Ireland is famous for providing. The specialist staff will be delighted to:
  • Help organise your stay:
  • Plan your family holiday or weekend break 
  • Manage your conference and corporate events
  • Organise your activities Package 
  • Plan your Wedding 
The accommodation is just so different from anything you might have been in before.  There is a series of log cabins on site, and just a short walk from the main centre.  These are tastefully decorated and add atmosphere to any stay.  The rooms are so inviting and the decor is appropriate.

The food is something else. If you want a smacking good meal, this is the place to go to.

The conference facilities are also of a good standard, and staff are on hand should technical difficulties arise.

However, like its sibling the Lake District, you can be sure of some very good weather but also some very wet weather; so take good footwear and waterproof coats with you.

It is a beautiful hotel that is 4*.  the massive and very high entrance hallway is most impressive, and staff are very helpful - no problem with English as staff are multilingual.  Nearby points of interest also include Serb Orthodox Cathedral and Cathedral of Jesus' Heart.


It was this hotel that the international media used during the Bosnian war of 1992-1995.

Hotel California, Palo Alto, California

This was a bed- or room-only establishment, where breakfast was served in a restaurant along the street, which was rather inconvenient.  The room was cramped, but adequate for the single traveller. 

Palo Alto is close to the famous Stanford University.  I would not recommend this hotel, except perhaps for those travelling on a budget.  It lacks a communal area, and there is no dining room/area.

Hotel Bristol Stephanie, Brussels

Perhaps the most elegant and top class 4* hotel we ever stayed in - albeit for one night only.  The rooms are enormous, and the facilities superb.  Located on the trendy Avenue Louisa in Brussels, it is close to interesting places, such as the Palace de Justice, and a short walk to the Grande Place.  Close to this is the famous Mannikin Plas.

The Hotel is grande, and the entrance area most impressive, and atmospheric.  Meals were excellent.  Ideal for both the tourist and the business traveller.  Service superb.  Hotel has elegance twinned with comfort and luxury.  The lift to the upper floors looks a bit antiquated and is quite small and cramped.  However, it is well worth a stay, even for a few nights.

To enjoy this hotel, you will need to get there, and you'll want to fly there at the best possible price.  Visit this website to find out how you can buy your flights at the best prices.  Remember, if you can book cheap flights, you will have more money to spend on your visit to Brussels.  So go here right now, and get the surprise of your life!

Best Western Plus Academy Plaza Hotel, Dublin

This 3* hotel is just off O'Connell Street, Dublin, and is well situated for business and pleasure.  For those who want to visit the Republic of Ireland, a most convenient hotel is hardly imaginable.  The entrance lobby is is large and spacious, with plenty of sofas and other easy chairs on which to relax.  Rooms are of decent size with all the usual facilities.  Conference facilities are excellent, with smaller syndicate rooms to suit smaller groups.

The food was excellent, both breakfast, lunch and evening dinner.  Staff were pleasant and very helpful. 

Dublin is a city worth visiting at least once.  It is in many ways a typical English City, with the names of many English people and places dotted around the place.  The Edwardian and Georgian architecture is everywhere to be seen.  The famous Grafton Street and St Stephen's Green are a short walk from the hotel.

Dublin City Council provides a vast range of leisure and cultural services. Included amongst these are public parks, leisure centres, art facilities, rehearsal studios, craft studios, Dublin City The Hugh Lane Gallery and the public library and archive service. These facilities are easily accessible to individuals and communities and in most cases are provided free of charge.

Mimosa Park Hotel, Palma Nova

This is a lovely big hotel situated close to the main resort centre and to the beach.  It is within comfortable walking distance to Magaluf, and, for the more adventurous, to Santa Ponsa.

The rooms are quite good with all the usual amenities.  Very clean, and staff were friendly.  Full entertainment programme every night.

Palma Nova was probably the cleanest resort we ever visited, spotlessly clean.  resort is flat, tho Magaluf is hilly.  Not far from the capital, Palma - just a short bus ride.

There is street entertainment and artists displaying their skills at building complex sand structures on the beach.  If you are fortunate, you will find pan-pipers from South America entertaining the holiday-makers.

Would recommend Palma Nova heartily.

The breakfast is a standard self-serve one, with plenty of appetising food to set you up for the few hours.  The evening meal cannot be assessed because we did not take one while there. 

Birmingham City is a must see for the traveller.  The shopping area is large, with a range of shops to suit all pockets and tastes.  There is also the Jewelery Quarter, as well as plenty of walks along the canals while flow through the City.

This beautiful hotel, which is part of the Best Western Group, stands a 10 minute walk from the centre of the Portrush resort, Northern Ireland's premier seaside resort. This family run hotel offers a very fine self-service breakfast. Rooms are spacious, with very good facilities. Excellent conference facilities with several rooms and good Internet and power points.

The entrance lobby is very roomy with lovely soft and comfortable easy seats.  The evening dinner received mixed comments, with some saying it was a bit bland, while others really enjoyed what was set before them.

Given Northern Ireland's mixed weather, the distance from the town centre might be a out-off for some people, though those who enjoy a nice walk will find it most suitable.

H10 Salauris Palace, Salou

A brilliant hotel 4*, well positioned, and part of an international chain of hotels.  About 800 from sea front.  Very clean and spacious.  Great swimming pools - fr adults and for children.  Full entertainment programme every day.  Food was good, especially the breakfasts, though for two weeks, the evening dinners became a bit repetitive. For dinner, it was advisable to be in the dining room as soon as it opens.  Staff were Spanish, and some of them were very pleasant to work with.  Rooms spacious and had a free safe, which was most appreciated.  Had a roof-top jacuzzi and sun-bathing area with spectacular views right over to the theme park at Fortaventura.  Bus trips to Barcelona go from here quite regularly.

There was a full programme of events on for all the family, and the evening entertainment was mediocre - at best.

Salou was beautiful.  Had a long beach which was most pleasant to walk along.  Boat trips were available.  The fountains were something to see - spectacular, with their varying heights and added colour effects. 

All in all, a good place to go to for a holiday.  If you can afford it, it would be good to have a meal out on the occasional evening - just for a change.

To enjoy this hotel, you will need to get there, and you'll want to fly there at the best possible price.  Visit this website to find out how you can buy your flights at the best prices.  Remember, if you can book cheap flights, you will have more money to spend on your visit to Salou.  So go here right now, and get the surprise of your life!
