Embarcadero Center Cinemas

Advantages: there wasn't any!
Disadvantages: no food or drink, dirty, screens didn't work, didn't show any of the top movies

...such as: Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and a few others. Although we wouldn't mind seeing them films, but as none of these received reviews good as some of the others, we didn't want to fork out £7 a seat to see them. To make matters worse, the floors were dirty, there were no toilets in sight and well, it's just a really bad cinema! We never saw a movie that day, but we are going to see the new Mummy film later on this week, at a real cinema which sells popcorn! For those that are crazy enough to want to visit such a poor 'cinema', here's the address and website: Filmline: 0871 22 44 007 Address: Odeon Maidenhead 42-44 King Street Maidenhead Berkshire SL6 1DY Website: http://www.odeon.co.uk/fanatic/film times/s10/ Summary: I'll be staying a fan of Vue and Cineworld!...

Advantages: Location, Facilities, Ideal family holiday
Disadvantages: Can get very expensive

The site has lakes and streams and varied wildlife. When you get there the first thing you do is book in at the gate lodge, where you get your villa keys, information booklet and any activity...

Advantages: Great for families
Disadvantages: Not so great if you don't like kids

...Center Parcs - Longleat Taking a young family on holiday is a tricky business with a completely different set of requirements than when going away as a couple. Not least among these is the amount of baby paraphernalia that you need to take. When our youngest was about ten months we took her to New England and managed to get everything into a couple of suitcases and carry on luggage plus a pushchair but now we have two the amount of extra baggage seems to have more than just doubled and unless the destination is particularly child friendly the need for travel cots, gates etc makes the holiday load a bit much for airline travel. For this reason recent holidays have been UK based. The last couple of years have been spent in Cornwall at a friend's apartment but we thought that this year we would have a change. Having heard favourable... Read review
