Advantages: All round good pick for those wanting Caribbean on a budget. Great beach! Disadvantages: Probably not quite up to 5* standards like some other hotels, but we didn't mind!
I stayed at Hotel Palma Real, Varadero, Cuba in September 2005 with a friend. We both had a fantastic holiday. I would rate this as a 3/4 star hotel, as it is typically at the lower end of the pricing for holidays to Varadero. However, don't let this put you off this merely makes it even more value for money!
Location#
The hotel is situated approximately 150 metres from the beach. Literally cross the road and you are there. Facilities on the beach include sunloungers, parasols, snack bar serving food and drinks, watersports, dance classes. The beach itself is beautiful and is around 20 miles long so you can walk as far as you like. We didn't find a problem with the beach being across the road, if anything it made us explore a little more than if we had been staying at hotel that was on the beach itself.

Advantages: Really convenient location, Good value from all aspects, excells in quality, service and food Disadvantages: none
As a regular business traveler, the value and the location of hotels is all-important as well as comfort. Traveling from up north for business in the Devon and Cornwall areas, I needed a room for a stop-over that was easy and direct to get to from the M5 motorway, and came across this hotel. It's set back in a quiet spot just off the main road into Tiverton. I had a great nights sleep after staying at the Best Western Tiverton Hotel. The room was absolutely spotless, the staff very friendly - and facilities surprised me with free Wifi, a printer, flat screen tv, desk/office area and an exceptionally comfy bed. Food and service in the restaurant couldn't be faulted - 2 courses and a pint for under £20. Very convenient location. This hotel is a hidden gem and comes highly recommended ...
Advantages: Interesting, Some good things to try out (not in a criminal way) Disadvantages: Gives criminals ideas ?
~~~ What's it About ? ~~~
The Real Hustle involves 3 con artists carrying out scams on unsuspecting members of the public. The type of scams vary from being card tricks on the street to selling property which doesn't belong to you.
The skill involved also varies greatly. Some of the things which are done take years of practice and others just relying on people's trusting nature and their eye for a good deal.
The shows is on BBC 3 and usually runs for around 30mins. The show has been expanding in recent years, heading to America and other countries. This is probably so they're less well known.
All of the money which is earned is given back.
