Hotel White Fort, Cochin

Advantages: It is Excellent in every respect
Disadvantages: Very Expensive

...When we visited Kochi (Cochin) in May, we decided to spend a weekend at the Taj Malabar hotel.We had won some vouchers which we could redeem at the Taj group of hotels and that's what made us stay at this very pricey classy hotel.It was well worth the price though...the double room cost us Rs 12,380/-(approximately 160 pounds).There are more expensive deluxe rooms and suites..

...We stayed at the White Heather Hotel in Kyleakin on the isle of Skye in September 2004. We liked it so much that we are going back again in September 2006. ***** THIS REVIEW IS NOW UPDATED DUE TO MY RECENT VISIT AS SOME CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE HOTEL SINCE 2004************************************ ISLE OF SKYE ++++++++++++ The Isle of Skye is off the coast of Scotland, about a 2 hour drive from Fort William. It can be reached by bridge or ferry. It is a beautiful place, with plenty of wildlife. I am not going to go into more detail as this review is not about Skye itself. KYLEAKIN - pronounced Ky-lark-in ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Kyleakin used to be the main point for the ferry, so when the bridge was built it changed the nature of the area a bit. There are two pubs and a hotel and several b&b's in Kyleakin... Read review
