Hotel Le Cottage, Argeles-sur-Mer

Le coco Hotel

Advantages: Good Food
Disadvantages: Large and shabby

Mauritius has always sounded like and advertised as the dream tropical island and when you book with your travel agent or on the web you are driven by the white beaches, luxury hotels and the vision of a tropical island. The le Coco Beach hotel is situated on its own white beach perfectly clean and manicured each morning. The hotel is only a 3 star hotel and its fair to say, showing its age. We had a room overlooking the beach it was clean and the sheets and towels were changed each day. the bathroom was a big dissapointment mold on the tiles and fitting falling off. The hotel did do there bestto rectify the problems however it did take the edge off the excellent servic of the staff. We were going to upgrade to a superior bungalow, but overall the room with its view was the better option. our package was all ...

Review of Le Coco Beach Hotel, Belle Mare

Kidnapping at The Cottage

Advantages: Suspense built well in parts, a bit funny at times.
Disadvantages: Poor script, very flat film on the whole, lacks overall energy and excitement.

From director Paul Andrew Williams (London to Brighton), 'The Cottage' is a comedy horror film which originally achieved a UK cinematic release in March 2008.

As the £100,000 looks increasingly less likely to become theirs, things go from bad to worse and the brothers, along with their hostage Tracey find themselves to be in a very sticky situation indeed. This bungled kidnapping gets incredibly messy as ...

Review of The Cottage

The Thatched Cottage Hotel

Advantages: A charming hotel conveniently situated in the New Forest.
Disadvantages: Expensive meal - £60 per head and we didn't have any alchohol.

We chose this hotel after much research as it appeared to have a good restaurant. We were not dissappointed, the food was very good, beautifully presented but, in our opinion, very expensive ...at over £60 per head excluding alchohol. The hotel itself was very pretty, although the room was small (what you'd expect of a cottage) it was well equipped, clean and tidy. The decor was a little tired though - but then owners have not been there long. Take care on the stairs - they are amongst the steepest you are likely to come across! We did find the Maitre de a little humourless and not terribly forthcoming but in general the staff were efficient and I would recommend a stay here. ...
