Le Tilbury, Corsica

Advantages: Beautiful scenery, largely unspoilt, weather
Disadvantages: Lack of package deals

...Corsica is a beautiful island of the Mediterranean coast of France. The island offers sandy beaches, rugged coasts, mountains, wild countryside, fascinating towns and villages. Package tours have hardly touched the place, but it is a favourite destination for the French, Italians and Germans and it's easy to see why. The climate is similar to southern France; if you want cooler times try spring or autumn. Main towns are Ajaccio (birthplace of Napoleon), Calvi (reputed birthplace of Columbus) and Bastia. Each has an international airport and ferry harbours linking to France and Italy. Prettiest area, in my opinion, is around Calvi, itself a picturesque harbour, but wherever you go the scenery is superb. Food is excellent, part French, part Italian but clearly Corsican. Wild boar is a speciality. Restaurants are reasonably... Read review

Advantages: Elegant, Beautiful and very relaxing
Disadvantages: The cost of the treatments can mount quickly.

...A couple of years ago, my parents were trying to decide what to get me for my birthday, and decide to treat me to a stay at Le Spa. My friend who lives in the area and is a member of Le Spa's Gym decided to spend the day having treatments with me.

The door was locked, with a note up saying Le Spa would be open at 10am. Intriguing seen as I was told to arrive at 9am. I had a look around for another entrance or someone to ask about the mix up...

Advantages: stunning location, on the beach, outstanding service
Disadvantages: too many people, but it is a popular hotel

...What a fantastic hotel. It's has a beach from location so it's just seconds away from the white sands and turquise seas. Simply breathtaking!!!! The hotel isnt cramed into a small area...it's set on a spacious estate, about 80 acres. There are coconut trees spread out around the area, and looks very tropical. For 3 star plus hotel, you dont get anything better than this in Mauritius. It has everything you need. You have the option to do either half board or all inclusive. In my experience, do the all inclusive. The food in the restaurants are deliciuos. The hotel has many facilties and is ideal if you have small children. And for those who love sports, Le Coco Beach is the place to be. Below are only some of the facilities you will find at the Le Coco Beach. The Facilities... * A main swimming pool, plus a children...
