Intercontinental Resort Tahiti, Papeete N

Advantages: Confortable rooms, nice beach, pleasant people
Disadvantages: Questionable maintenance, costly extras

...Some time ago I had a big argument with Intercontinental; despite having stayed over 100 nights that year, they showed no interest in trying to resolve my complaint, so I promised myself that I would not stay in another Intercon again. At least, not if I was paying. So far I have kept that promise - even with this stay, which was paid for by Priority Club reward points. BookingL I booked online; when I booked, only a twin room was available while I wanted a double. I booked anyway, requesting an extra bed for our son and an airport pick up as we were arriving in the evening, and resolved to call closer to the arrival time to ask for a double bed instead. Of course, I forgot all about it, even a week before our arrival date when I got an email from the concierge, with a simple guide to activities in the hotel and around Bali. I even... Read review

...(which had a view of the Acropolis) was marble effect floor rather than carpet, and had a sofa, glass coffee table with a couple of glossy Greek tourism magazines, and a writing desk and chair. There was also a kettle with Lipton teabags and Nescafe coffee sticks. There was air-conditioning but even on full blast it was still quite warm. On opening the window the room became a bit noisy.

There was a white fluffy bathrobe and slippers, which is always a plus point, bathroom scale (not so good!) and lovely Korres toiletries and a hygiene kit containing face pads, cotton buds and a mini sewing kit. It's nice to see that the Inter-Continental is using a natural, Greek brand. This consisted of Aloe and Soapwort shampoo, Achillea... Read review

Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97... Read review
