...• Hotel Paradise Resort, Lanzarote * Well my family and I had this holiday booked since the end of January so we had been looking forward to it all year. Neither of us had ever been to Lanzarote so we didn't know what to expect. It was my mum and brothers first time abroad where it was hot; they've been place in Europe France mainly on previous holidays but not a sunny holiday. It was also my little brothers first time on a plane so he was well excited. • Getting Booked Up * I wasn't actually meant to be going on this holiday; it was originally just my mum, her boyfriend and my little brother going.

...Euro each way. I would recommend you do this on a Thursday as there is a market that sells lots of t-shirts,A frican goods, handbags, jewellry, etc. Torviscas is definately a little bit more up-market than Los Cristianos. ************NEGATIVE*********** The hill that the Paradise Park sits on - only the very fit could walk up and down it !!! Easier option take a taxi as it's only 3 Euro oneway, and they are really easy to get. *********POSITIVE********** The spa complex next door is really peaceful. Great to pamper yourself in. ***********OVERALL********** Would I go again? Yes. I really liked this hotel. The room was great and the food was super. With both of those and a dose of sunshine, what more could you ask for.... Read review

...I'm laughing as I'm writing this, because I simply cannot believe what we've just experienced! We booked with National Holidays and were given The Norbreck Castle as a dwelling place! I got onto the net and couldn't believe my luck when I was presented with beautiful pictures of a fantastic castle with amazing facilities! We travelled down on the coach looking forward to our stay at this amazing castle! The coach arrived and my jaw quite simply hit the floor. It looks like an eastern european prison. The driver on the coach then announced, "Oh, and by the way folks, you can't check into your rooms untill 3pm!" Which was great, considering it was 10am. We entered the hotel and were greeted with a wonderful 1970s reception with lovely wooden revolving doors which felt as if they were about to fall off. Everything from the reception... Read review
