Advantages: Quiet, friendly, everything you could want in one resort, great pool Disadvantages: Outside of Pollenca so difficult to go out in the evenings
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Pollentia clubresort, which is situated between Puerto Pollenca and Puerto Alcudia last summer.
It's a really lovely resort with a nice relaxed family atmosphere, and has everything you could want from a holiday on site. It has two large swimming pools (one is particularly impressive!)., tennis courts, squash courts, mini golf, table tennis, 2 restaurants and daytime and evening entertainment.
All the staff are fluent in English, Spanish and German, so you have no worries if you speak no Spanish. The all you can eat breakfast and evening buffets are excellent, but you do have to pay extra for any sort you drink with your evening meal. There is evening entertainment every night, which is good, if a little cheesy!
If you do want to leave the resort (and you could quite easily spend a week ...
Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games
INTRODUCTION

The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since.
WHAT?S IN THE BOX
WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD ...
Advantages: Beautifully landscaped grounds, high quality accommodation Disadvantages: Need a GPS to find your room
I was looking forward to my stay at plush four star Cable Beach ClubResort in Broome, Western Australia. According to their advertising material, I could expect Asian serenity and Colonial Indulgence. It sounded great and friends had recommended it as a very pleasant place to stay.
In total, I spent three nights here. Because it was included in a coach tour package that I'd booked, I didn't make a booking specifically for the hotel itself. However let it be said that the room rates vary. I saw one website (discoverwest.com.au) which was offering rooms from $A155 (incl breakfast) plus a free camel ride, but other quotes elsewhere were much more than this.
The hotel runs a shuttle bus to Broome Airport to greet tired travellers. Or you can get a taxi to the resort ($10).
First impressions of the resort were favourable. A porter ...
