Grand Hotel Diana Majestic, Diano Marina

Grand Hotel Excelsior

Advantages: Beautiful View
Disadvantages: Apalling food

As anyone who has read my early reviews knows- I love Italy! I've been going there now for the past ten years with my parents, and for the first time last year I made my own way there with the boyfriend for a nice Italian holiday. The Grand Hotel Excelsior was my residence for numerous weeks holiday, and it certainly not one for the faint hearted! In the Thompson guide book it is described as 'quaint' which to put it politely is rather an understatement. One thing that can be said for it is it is completely oozing with Italian charm. ARRIVAL/ LOCATION If you book with Thompson as we did (though other tour operators go to the same location) flights go from Manchester Airport on a Friday morning, taking just over 2 and a half hours to get to Naples International Airport. From Naples the coastal resort of Amalfi is approximately ...

Review of Excelsior Grand Hotel, Amalfi

Olympic by name but not by standards

Advantages: clean, food
Disadvantages: railway station, lack of cooling systems,

Diano Marina a beautiful seaside resort in Northern Italy, which we have been lucky enough to recently visit. However, while the resort was delightful enough the hotel was far from luxurious. The brochure tells you: A FAMILY RUN HOTEL IN THE FAMILY FOR FIFTY (+) YEARS: The brochure means; a fifty-three bed roomed hotel with just a handful of staff, who are family related.

Eventually finding a small English run shop I enquired and was pointed in the direction of the cash machine (a two minute walk from the hotel). The hotel is fairly clean, and décor is acceptable though far from fashionable or ideal. The lift is tiny, and the bar usually unattended ...

Review of Hotel Olympic (Diano Marina)

MGM Grand Hotel - Las Vegas

Advantages: 4/5 star, great price, good gambling and atmosphere
Disadvantages: The Lion enclosure

My husband and I have just gotten back from a trip to Las Vegas and chose the MGM hotel to stay at so this forms my review. The MGM is located right on the strip (Las Vegas Boulevard) right by Tropicana Avenue so fairly near one end of the strip. It is located close to the New York New York hotel and there is actually a walkway which joins the two hotels to give you easy access to both. The hotel in its present form was opened at the end of 1993. Most of the hotels in Las Vegas have a certain them that they like to promote through each of their casinos such at NY NY, Paris, The Venetian etc. The MGM in my opinion is not as heavily themed as the other hotels but follows along the lines of old Hollywood/California movies stars etc with the feature of the MGM lion and movie star photos in the bedrooms. When the MGM first opened it had ...
