Monte Santo Resort, Praia Do Carvoeiro

Mirachoro Praia Hotel

Advantages: Everything it is an excellent hotel
Disadvantages: Coffee at breakfast was awful

We visited this Hotel in March 2006 and it was just brilliant, the room we had was spacious and very clean, with a lovely balcony. The bed was comfortable, the room had great curtains to block the light from coming into the room in the mornings, and there was no noise of a nighttime either - it is, without doubt, the best weeks sleep I have ever had on a holiday. The breakfast was adequate, nothing amazing, but there was plenty to keep you going. We took the B&B option, so I cannot comment on the evening meals, but there are restaurants and cafes within 100 yards of this hotel, so you will not need to go far to find something. Carvoeiro has many restaurants, giving different options, seafood is fresh and plentiful, but you can also have italian, thai, chinese, indian, plus there are lots of restaurants serving grilled steaks, chicken ...

Wii Resort For Island Sports

Advantages: Some great mini-games that really show off the MotionPlus accessory
Disadvantages: Expensive to fully kit out two remotes. One or two less compelling mini-games

INTRODUCTION Our Nintendo Wii has been hibernating under our TV, gathering dust since shortly after Christmas. The Wii party games made a brief appearance for the holidays and the shine of Wii Fit wore off after our New Year?s resolutions met with their usual success and longevity (i.e. none). It?s a fab console, but it?s very ease of ?pick up and play? makes it just as easy to ignore in favour of other pursuits. However, we were intrigued by the promise and novelty of the new Wii MotionPlus gadget, and when Wii Sports Resort (WSR) ? essentially Wii Sports 2 ? was announced, it was immediately added to our Wish List. As such, I was delighted when I received it for my birthday last week, and It has played a part in our nightly entertainment since. WHAT?S IN THE BOX WSR comes packaged with the game (in its own DVD ...

Review of Wii Sports Resort (Wii)

Fly High With Santos

Advantages: Quality Persistence Distinctive
Disadvantages: Some Men Do Not Like It

Santos de Cartier was introduced in 1981 and named in honour of Alberto Santos Dumont a pioneer in aviation. Considered by many to be the true father of  flight, Dumont was a friend of Louis Cartier and it was at his friends request that Louis invented the wristwatch, so that he could keep his hands on the controls while checking the time. Santos comes in a very smart silver coloured box and the bottle is a dark brown glass with silvered mountings.Altogether very smart and chic. The fragrance is a blend of lavender, basil, bergamot, nutmeg, cumin, juniper, sandalwood, cedar wood, patchouli and vetiver all pretty much standard ingredients for a mans fragrance but notable for the number used and the skill with which they are combined. This is a very distinctive fragrance, as you would expect from Cartier, in my opinion much more ...
