Advantages: Close to the beach. Close to the shops. Close to the pubs. Night security. Always staffed. Pleasant receptionists. Swimming pool. Free sunbeds. Disadvantages: Deposit on room has to be paid when you arrive even if you have booked. The pool is small. The rooms are basic. The balconies are small. There is no restaurant or bar. Not very child freindly.
We have recently returned from our first family holiday and I have decided to review the appartment block that we stayed in.
When we originally booked the holiday this was not the accommodation that we choose. The travel agent changed our holiday three times, before we went and this is the alternative accommodation they offered.
It was either this, or cancels the holiday and receives a full refund. Knowing this was our first holiday we decided to accept the alternative accommodation and go anyway.

**********LONDON EXCEL NOVOTEL**********
Last week I went down to London with my work. I work for the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants in the examination department and as part of our job, we are required to travel down and help out with the twice-yearly exams in London. In our case, we were helping out at the London ExCel centre at Docklands, so our work handily put us up at the ExCel Novotel, which was essentially right next door to the exhibition centre.
Now I've never been to London and to be honest I didn't really get a chance to see much of it while I was down there, as I was only staying for three nights. However, I was very impressed with the hotel and its facilities.

As I said previously the hotel is situated next to the ExCel centre, which is in the Docklands area ...
Advantages: Fun in multiplayer mode, nice visuals. Disadvantages: Not enough game modes or content.
Think Saturday morning cartoons mixed with Wacky Races. The concept behind Cel is a simple one. Take all the fun and mayhem of the Warner Bros and Hannah Barbara cartoons; mix them up with a kart-style racer. You?re on to a winner. If only it were that simple.
All the weapons in Cel Damage are right out of those Warner Bros cartoons: boxing gloves on extendable arms, giant comedy baseball bats and the ACME black hole things that Wile E Coyote used. This is definitely one of the best things going for the game and is a lot of fun. Likewise, the characters, their animation and the vehicles they drive around in are also pretty good. However, this is where the fun stops.
The problem is that there isn?t very much to Cel Damage. You get a total of three different game modes: a Deathmatch-style game where it?s first to 500 hits to win ...
