Grupotel Club Turquesa Mar, Ciudadela

Grupotel Macarella

Advantages: Relaxing and Luxurious
Disadvantages: Not a huge range of facilities

The Grupotel Macarella stands just behind the marina of Cala n Bosch. The reception has a staircase up to the pool area and lifts situated round the hotel offer easy access to the various floors. The hotel Macarella sets standards with its food which is excellent and fresh meats cooked fresh for you when you go up to the buffet area. The restaurant and tables are set out for a good dining experience. Entertainment is sparse, but its own entertainers make sure the kids are catered for with its mini discos. The hotel is ideal for couples rather than families with more than one child. The pool area is not bustling and sunbeds should be quite easily obtained, the hotel removes any towels saved on sunbeds for long periods. The rooms are spacious for couples and offer nice views over the pool, marina, and beach. Some rooms are situated ...

Review of Grupotel Macarella, Minorca

The Mighty Mars Bar

Advantages: Classic chocolate bar
Disadvantages: They changed the nougat filling

This is perhaps the most classic chocolate bar from my childhood. It has long been my favourite as a kid and I sort of have to say it still is so as not to feel as if I have disowned it (sorry Mars Bar but I have found other favourites - I still love you though!). 'A Mars a day helps you work rest and play' - this was the little catchphrase that was associated with Mars Bar. Funny really; it's like saying a chocolate bar a day is good for you. The slogan has now changed to 'Pleasure you can't measure' which definitely seems more appropriate. A standard Mars bar comes at 58g, about 11cm long and 1.8cm high. You'll pay about 32p for this bar in supermarkets which is well below the norm of 50p. They used to be more expensive but in recent years, the classic nougat and caramel filling has obviously lost its appeal as new and more ...

Review of Mars Bar

Mars in a bottle?

Advantages: Energy, Easy to drink, Smooth
Disadvantages: Weak Taste, high price

I bought a bottle of yet another energy drink today, this time a bottle of Mars Refuel, I had intended to drink this during the afternoon yesterday but felt a bit of heart burn and an icky stomach for the vast part of the afternoon-cum-evening, when it comes to a bad stomach something I stay away from is a milky drink such as this so I've kept it. Now with Murray playing Gulbis in the US Open and unable to sleep anyway it seems the perfect chance to review this and cheer on the world number 2 and probably the greatest Scottish tennis player of all time. The huge confectionery company Mars, arguably the chocolate version of Coca-Cola, have gone into the drinks industry with this energy drink. Now when talking about energy drinks we usually refer to Isotonic drinks (Powerade, Gatorade and Lucuzade Sport) which replenish the body via ...
