Cyprus was'nt my 1st choice for a hoiday this year, but Ruth my partners sister telephoned us in August 2004 to say she was getting married abroad in July 2005, and would we like to attend. Of course we said yes and so the task of booking in to the same hotel on the same board status began. Cols sister was traveling with Thomas Cook, so I called them ''no room'' they said '' Oh no'' I said. So on to my trusted PC, entered the name of the hotel in too a search engine and walla - a few moments later we was booked all inclusive in to the Anastasia Beach Hotel. After negotiating Larnaca airport, we located our taxis for the transfer and off we went through barren countryside along a stretch of road that was apparently a Motorway, two lanes and a speed restriction of 100km an hour. We turned off the motorway and past some appartments which ...

Review of Anastasia Beach Hotel, Protaras

Wedding At The Bentota Beach Hotel

Advantages: Beatiful location
Disadvantages: Mosquitoes

WHY SRI LANKA YOU ASK? J & I had been to Sri Lanka for a holiday when we first started seeing each other. We had booked a last minute deal & stayed in a guest house . Whilst there we spent our days at the 5* Bentota Beach hotel using the pool & bar, for a small fee of £2 you can go to any hotel & use their facilities.This is a nice way of checking out the other hotels & generally being nosey.We fell in love with the place & decided then that if we went back we would stay at the hotel.One of the main things that had swung it for me was the resident elephant who was also part of the wedding ceremony. Sri Lanka or Ceylon as it was once known is an Island off the southern tip of India in the Indian Ocean .It is a ten & three quarter hour journey if flying direct.There are sometimes stopovers in the Maldives which is a wonderful place ...

Review of Bentota Beach Hotel

KOMBO BEACH HOTEL

Advantages: Everything has been thought of.
Disadvantages: Not enough warning about the water !

Have you ever imagined yourself on a desert island, sheltered under a primative structure gazing out at golden sands and blue sky, with a drink in your hand, and the warmth of the air caressing your body ? This is one of my memories of the Kombo Beach Hotel where I stayed when I visited the Gambia. We were a little concerned visiting Africa with the children, especially as we were on honeymoon at the time and the kids were really too little to be on their own. You hear about deseases and worry about accommodation and this is one case in which I did not have to worry too much. The Kombo Beach hotel accommodated us nicely and thought of everything. The rooms were light and airy, and the hotel thoughtful enough to have given us a suite, so that the children had their own part and we had ours but the two separate spaces were ...
