Basant Vihar Palace Hotel, Bikaner

Advantages: Fantastic food, excellent location, great pool, gem of a hotel
Disadvantages: Not recommended for young travellers wanting nightlife

...We visited Riu Palace Tres Islas in Fuerteventura last August for a weeks break. The previous year we also went to Fuerteventura but stayed at a hotel called Bahia Real Atlatis Palace further into Corralejo's town. The resort is located 3 km from Corralejo, 35 km from airport and is situated in the middle of 10 sq m of sand dunes, with the beach on your doorstep. On our previous holiday in Fuerteventura, each day we walked to the Blue Flag beach which is where Hotel Riu Palace Tres Islas sits on and we decided that year that the following year we would stay at that hotel. We booked flights and the hotel ourselves and got a taxi from the airport to the hotel. The cost will be between 30 - 40 Euros for the journey each way. We could have got a bus as the bus stop was nearby. The taxi ride to the hotel can best be described... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic All-round facilities
Disadvantages: Require to book in advance

...This hotel captures true Englishness. Whether it be afternoon tea - complimented with the fantastic selection of cakes and cream teas, or the formality of a 5 course evening meal - this hotel offers it all. There is a short 18-hole golf course, 2 indoor and 4 outdoor tennis courts, indoor and outdoor swimming pool, snooker room, table tennis, sauna, croqeut lawn, superb room service and many other facilities. It is suprising that this hotel is only rated 3 star. It should be given 5! The friendliness of the staff made the stay complete - I went away feeling like royalty. Wherever I went, I was treated well - right from being handed a clean towel in the swimming pool, to being served after dinner coffee in the lounge. There is a real sense of belonging at the Palace, something I haven't experienced anywhere else. A stay can cost... Read review

Advantages: Fantastic Business Hotel
Disadvantages: None

...As a business Women I rarely have time to sit down and write a review on a place I have been to. However on this occasion, I have made time as the Palace hotel in Torquay, which I recently attended for a conference, was outstanding. The luxury and status of the hotel clearly shined through in both the exterior and interior appearance. The large rooms where clean, well styled and extremely practical, providing myself with a very high quality experience. After the conference, I retired to a cosy and exceptional room where I was pampered with a deluxe bed, modernised bathroom and fresh fruit. Moreover I was able to spend the evening socialising with colleagues over a game of snooker and a first class glass of wine with a friendly and well mannered group of hotel staff. All in all the conference was made perfect by the exceptional facilities... Read review
