Edenia Punta Soberana, El Calafate

Bewitched by an Icy Giant!

Advantages: A Unique Experience
Disadvantages: None

Perito Moreno, the best starting point and the one that most excursions start from, is the little town of El Calafate. There are many expeditions on offer, ranging from just a bus ride to visit the glacier, or boat rides (always sailing at a very safe distance from it) and even the chance to walk on the glacier, accompanied by a specially trained guide. Depending on the season, prices vary, but a simple boat ride can cost as little as $10, while a full excursion that includes a trek on the glacier may cost up to $168. Had we had the time and money, we would most certainly have done that, but it is not very practical with a very young child. *************************************************** Although the expansion of the glacier has meant that many of the forests in the surrounding area have been destroyed by it, the flora ...

Port El Kantaoui

Advantages: Beautiful Beaches
Disadvantages: Mainly For Couples, Hassle From Local Shopkeekers

Port El Kantaoui is a purpose built Holiday Resort on the Northern Coast of Tunisia in North Africa. It is situated just a few kilometres North of Sousse, Tunisia's second largest City after the Capital Tunis. It was built in 1979 with a modern 300 Yacht capacity Marina as its focal point.

It is now also Tunisia's most popular Holiday Resort. I stayed in Port El Kantaoui between the 2nd and 9th July 2006 and found the experience to be a rather interesting one. Since it was my first visit to Tunisia I was a little unsure of what to expect and as my Holiday approached I began to hear ...

Review of Port El Kantaoui (Tunisia)

'Superclubs' Breezes Punta Cana.

Advantages: 'Some' Staff
Disadvantages: Do You Want The List?

have two rooms be prepared to eat at toally different times. The times available are 18:30, 20:00 and 21:30, normally the ticket is the 21:30 sitting. The speciality restuarants that are available are the French 'Paris' where the food actually is ok but the waiter staff's attitude is appauling. The Dominican 'Conuco' we didnt even chance it in there. The Italian cant remember the name but the food was actually quite nice there. and also the Japonease 'Munasan' which we also enjoyed, they cook your food in front of you, made it a nice touch. And finally 'El Marlin' the seafood and steaks restuarant, this was actually the poolside bar where people eat in the daytime but to change it into a restaurant they stook tablecloths over the tables, Food we found was poor here and the look of the kitchen made it even worse. Throughout the two week stay ...
