Resortquest Rentals at Seychelles Condominiums, Panama City Beach

Live life like it's one big beach party!

Advantages: Lots to see and do, great people everywhere
Disadvantages: not that exciting after spring break is over

Every year hundreds of thousands of tourists descend upon Panama City Beach Florida for spring break and every year, thousands of people are hit with one of the most entertaining cities in Florida, well, during spring break anyway. Safety The city of Panama City Beach is actually quite a bit safer than one might suspect. While there are loads of people coming from all over the place, and keeping track of trends is somewhat difficult, the police are out in force. You'll find them mostly riding bikes around the beach shops, however, you will see them out on the beaches as well, flip flopping around. They are even out late at night on the beaches making sure that no one is doing anything that they shouldn't be.

Review of Panama City Beach

The Real Seychelles

Advantages: A place where local life can be appreciated away from tourist resorts
Disadvantages: Expensive

It's time to dispel the myth about the Seychelles. When people think of Seychelles, even those who have been there, they conjure up images reminiscent of a Bounty commercial, all indulgent wealth and luxury. And this dream can be fulfilled by heading to one of the outer islands, where tourists can cocoon themselves in a resort just expending enough effort to adjust the straw in their alarmingly expensive cocktail and direct their masseuse to that aggravating knot of stress.

And for the Seychellois, life isn't such a beach. Seychelles has a history of social and political unrest, and there are many tales of forced ...

Review of Victoria (Seychelles)

Tinker tailoring in Panama

Advantages: Good actors
Disadvantages: Weak story, ultimately a dull film

Disgraced British agent Andy Osnard is packed off to Panama out of the way. Eager to get back into his boss' good books, he wants to provide him with some useful information. Choosing Harry Pendel, a tailor who is well-known in Panama, as his spy, he pays him to get hold of information relevant to the Panama Canal, hoping that some of it will prove useful. The fact that Harry is married to Louisa, who is the PA to the President of the Panama Canal, seems to be promising. Harry, initially reluctant to participate, is eventually lulled by much-needed cash. Unfortunately, he is not as well-connected as Andy hopes, and in the end, he makes up a story of revolution that Andy can report back to London. Will Harry admit that his story is a lie before the big guns come in? And how will it affect his hitherto peaceful life in Panama? Director ...
