Advantages: Cheap, friendly place to visit, interesting architecture. Disadvantages: Might not last too long in its current state. Freezing cold in winter.
Latvia is not somewhere that would immediately spring to mind when deciding on a city break, but when we researched a possible weekend away for between four and six people (all male) within our budget (£200), there was no clear cut winner. Riga, Berlin, Prague and Barcelona were all able to offer a flight/hotel combination for within that. Riga was decided on by vote, purely for the reason that it was only really opening up as a destination and had that 'kudos' factor that all new things seem to have.
Most of our group flew out of Dublin with Ryanair, though there are other routes available from England and one of our party flew with Ryanair out of Stansted. Flights will obviously vary in price, depending on who you're flying with, when you're flying and how far in advance you book. Booking tickets with Ryanair at Christmas for an end ...

Advantages: That Caribbean atmosphere. Disadvantages: Stinking hangovers!
There's a lovely story attached to the origins of Tia Maria, all about Jamaica during the Colonial Wars, fleeing noblewomen, black pearl earrings and a secret family recipe. You can read it on their website (http://www.tiamaria.co.uk) if, like me, you like to know the folklore and stories behind the things that you buy. The website will also tell you how this famous liqueur is made and the process sounds equally romantic: coffee beans grown in the foothills of the Jamaican Blue Mountain range are gathered, cracked, and mixed with vanilla and sugar and alcohol then bottled and sold to those of us who love to savour a little bit of the taste and the atmosphere of a lazy Caribbean holiday whenever we can. Otherwise, I'm afraid, the website is a little dull with some rather unadventurous cocktail suggestions and a design in similar rich ...

We stayed here at the Albert for 3 nights at the end of Feb.
We flew with Air Baltic for £41.70 each including tax!
My daughter and I arrived late at night at the Albert ....they had granted my request for a high,non smoking, room with a view of Old Town!
We could see all the tops of the steeples across Riga and the Art Nouveau style buildings.
We were exceptionally pleased with our room.
Alot of bright lighting available in the rooms but with low lights for night..very cosy.
It was meticulously clean with very comfy beds and crisp sheets.
They had fabulous under floor heating in the bathroom too.
The shower was the best power shower I've ever used!
The maid service was great....they even folded my daughters pyjamas and put under her pillow each day!
Infact the cleaners were always cleaning the hotel foyer entrance ...
Hotel Tia is a three-star hotel dedicated to provide comfortable accommodation with exceptional caring service. You will find it to be a modern hotel with tradition at heart. The hotel is exceptionally well located not far from Old Town within minutes of the International Riga Airport and Riga railway station and passenger port. Last renovation was made in 2006.
