Advantages: Near perfection! Disadvantages: Sanitation can be basic!
...I don't know why I'm telling everyone about this idyllic location because it's presently the 8th wonder of the world and could be spoilt. However, Krabi, or more specifically, Rai Lay Beach is what dreams are made of! This is a place which can only be reached by longtail boat from Krabi Town or if arriving from Phi Phi via boat from Ao Nang. The accomodation can either be at top end (Dusit Rayavadee Resort), Mid-range (Langka Deng - but no walk-ins) or budget end (various bungalow options). All are within 5 mins. from the beach as you can walk from one side of the island to the other, at this point, in about 10 mins.. There are various bars and restaurants with their feet in the sand. The sea is crystal clear and you can take a longtail boat, very cheaply, to various outlying islands with Chicken Island definately worth a visit, though...

...INTRODUCTION
Whistler – Blackcombe is a ski resort situated about two hours bus journey north of Vancouver in Canada and is quite simply the most incredible ski resort I’ve ever had the fortune of skiing in. Before I begin to wax lyrically about its virtues a little background on myself as regards skiing. I’ve been skiing now for about 15 years having started at the tender age of 7 and until travelling to Whistler I’ve only ever-skied in Europe. In this time I’ve been all over Europe in all the major skiing countries as well as the less well known Andorra, Bulgaria, Finland and Sweden. I say all this not in an attempt to show off but to show that I think I have the credentials to comment on ski resorts.
I actually went to Whistler for two weeks in Easter ‘99 to visit my brother who...

We've just come back from a week at this hotel, and I must say it was very disappointing.
The rooms were very basic, although they were well cleaned, and in good condition (we were staying in the second block at the back, which I think is relatively... more
