Advantages: Good location. Clean. Disadvantages: Need to take a course in customer service
I was very excited to go to this Pousada as we had planned this for a long time as there is so much in the surrounding area to see.
On arrival we found parking to be a problem and almost none existent. We had to park down the road and carry our own luggage to reception.
At reception, although friendly, we had to wait a while to be attended to.
The rooms were clean and although small, were adequate. The bathrooms have been modernized, however grouting and tiling not done very well. Beds comfortable.
Breakfast was included and a large variety of breads, cheeses etc available. However, the service was appalling. It was self service however one had to request certain items such as coffee etc from the waiters. Again, trying to attract the attention of the waiters took time. When we were served coffee it was like dishwater ...
Advantages: not too rich and sweet Disadvantages: doesn't sound very appealing
When I first saw this I was intrigued. Why would someone put added glucose into chocolate? and why would someone put guarana in it? Isn't that meant to be some sort of energy booster? Do we need extra sugars and energy boosts in a chocolate bar?
It sounds like something you'd have in your rucksack in the jungle and maybe that's the idea I don't know. What I do know is I was pleasantly surprised.

The background is green that I think is supposed to be breaking glass type thing but looks more like leaves which does give it a jungle feel. I'm also assuming from the word new written across the corner that it's a new flavour ;o)
(There is also a biscuit boost and apparently they used to ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Cadbury Boost Guarana
Advantages: Very nice, Sweet, Fruity, Addictive. Disadvantages: Addictive, bad for you.
I remember when this new Boost Guarana bar came out, earlier in the year, so i thought to myself, i think i am going to buy one of these next time i go to the shops. A long time past, in which i had forgotten about it, then one day a friend of mine brought it up in conversation, saying about how wonderful it is and that i should try one, i took this in, and thus forgot again, until at work they were giving these away free, but for some strange reason, i didnt take this offer up. Later in the week at our daily lunchtime 6th form trip to Somerfield, i finially decided to buy on of these bars.....
FIRST IMPRESSIONS.
My first impressions of this bar was very good, it had been wrapped in a carefully designed, metallic green wrapper, with the large, bright orange, BOOST name written along the shaft of the bar, with Guarana flavour ...
