Aldemar Royal Mare Village, Hersonissos

Advantages: Range of features and activities
Disadvantages: Selling under-age

...alot of exploring in the town so theres not alot to say about it. However, there are a nice few bars close to the hotel but if you are wanting a good night out, its best to stick in the hotel. The great thing about the location of this hotel is that with the extreme heat theres a nice coastal breeze that cools you down. With the Aldemare Paradise Royal Village (Self-Catering apartments) dotted around the main building, its extremly busy during the summer. Since there is so many people, your bound to meet poeple your own age which is perfect for the kids, (We met our cousin). First Look As you enter the hotel there is a huge lounge with mayn comfy' seats (rather posh looking), which is right next to the 24/7 reception.

Advantages: Atmosphere. Well produced - Escapist
Disadvantages: Story line too unrealistic for me

...Last week I came across one of those special offers in HMV (4 DVds for £20). It was end of the season sale and I picked up a film called "The Village" just to make up the numbers.

Advantages: You will enjoy it
Disadvantages: None

...The Village, written and directed by M. Night Shyamalan on a budget of 60 million dollars, was going to be a tough follow up for a director known for his twists and turns. As it turned out, there was a twist, but it was a rather low key one, and it was almost apparent from the start, though it is not without a small end revelation, that will surprise you. This movie starts off really slowly, leading you into the lives of a group of villagers, who live on the outskirts of a wood, in 1897 Pennsylvania, which is seemingly haunted by some nasty hideous monsters, referred to only as, 'Those we do not speak of'. A village where the colour red is not allowed, as it is the colour of evil. The Elders, who have set up and run the village, teach their children that the Towns outside their village is a bad place, and they must never cross into... Read review
