Jessica Beach, Pilar de la Horadada

Advantages: Comfortable hotel, laid back surroundings, good for non-swimmers
Disadvantages: poor telephone service

...The Hotel Condessa de la Bahia is part of the Mar Hotels chain, who offer, good, clean and comfortable rooms. This particular hotel is in the middle of Alcudia on a 7km stretch of pure golden sandy beach. The hotel lays directly on the sea front, so is ideal for those who want a beach holiday. The Hotel has 5 floors which is served by 2 lifts. The staff are very friendly and all staff speak English. Prices in the hotel are very reasonable - a large pina colada will set you back only 750PTE (under £3). A buffet breakfast and dinner is served with very flexible hours.

Advantages: Great location in a safe area of Old Havana, Great food & music
Disadvantages: noise from the bar and restaurant downstairs

...El Meson de la Flota: Mercaderes b/ Amargura and Teniente Rey. Old Havana, Ciudad de La Habana, situated a few steps from the Old Square. La Meson de la Flota is found in a safe and renovated area of Old Havana.

Advantages: Wide range of skiing
Disadvantages: Long transfere time

...Pas de la Casa, known to most as 'Pas', situated in Andorra a principality on the French/Spanish border.

Pas is the first resort you arrive at, being just 100 yards from the border crossing. The main town itself, consisting of shops, bars and some hotels, is situated at the bottom of the main slope, other hotels spread out either side of the valley, where skiing to your front door is easily possible. Skiing. Buying a lift pass for Pas will also allow you to ski in the neighbouring resort of Grau Roig, all chair lifts and drag lifts close at 5:30 pm so ensure you are not in Grau Roig when they close as it will be an expensive taxi ride back to Pas. The two resorts spread over 3 valleys, with plenty... Read review
