The biggest cruise ship ever built will hit a major construction milestone this weekend.
Royal Caribbean’s Wonder of the Seas will touch water for the first time as it’s “floated out” from a dry dock at the Chantiers de l’Atlantique shipyard in St. Nazaire, France, where it has been under construction for more than a year.
The 18-deck-high vessel — the latest in the line’s giant Oasis Class of ships — will transfer to a “wet dock” where finishing work will continue into next year.
For more cruise news, reviews and tips, sign up for TPG’s new cruise newsletter.
Wonder of the Seas had been scheduled to debut in 2021, but Royal Caribbean recently said the vessel’s debut would be pushed back by around 10 months, citing the coronavirus pandemic. That would push its arrival into 2022.
The early stages of the construction of a cruise ship take place in a dry dock facility. Once the exterior of a vessel is complete, the dry dock is flooded and the ship is floated to a wet dock facility where construction continues. It’s considered a significant turning point in the building of a vessel.
It may seem odd that cruise lines are continuing to build new ships even as most of their existing ships aren’t sailing due to the coronavirus crisis. But cruise companies expect the cruise industry to resume growing at a significant pace once the crisis has passed, resulting in demand for additional vessels.
While lines have been permanently retiring some older ships in recent months in anticipation of a slow restart to cruising, the leaders of the biggest cruise companies have said they have no plans to cancel orders for new ships. They’ve said they would rather keep the new ships and eliminate older ships if they need to cut capacity in the short term.
The float out of Wonder of the Seas is scheduled to take place around 7 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 5, according to French media outlet Ouest France.
Wonder of the Seas will be the fifth vessel in Royal Caribbean’s groundbreaking Oasis Class series of ships, which are more than 20% bigger than any other cruise ships afloat.
The four existing Oasis Class vessels include the 228,081-ton Symphony of the Seas — the current size leader in the cruise world. Eighteen decks high and nearly 1,200 feet long, it can hold up to 6,680 passengers at maximum occupancy.
The vessel and its sisters resemble megaresorts on land with dozens of restaurants and bars, Broadway-style entertainment, casinos and lots of deck-top attractions. Symphony of the Seas has three pool areas, giant waterslides, rock climbing walls, surfing simulators, a miniature golf course and even an ice skating rink.
While Royal Caribbean has been coy as to just how big Wonder of the Seas will be, a top executive at Royal Caribbean hinted to The Points Guy last year that the newcomer (and another Oasis Class ship on order for 2023) are likely to set new size records.
“It’s certainly a moniker that Royal Caribbean owns,” Royal Caribbean’s vice president for product development, Laura Hodges-Bethge, told TPG. “When you look at Symphony, it was, I don’t know, a couple metric tons [bigger than its predecessor]?” For these new ships, she said, “I can’t imagine that wouldn’t be the same thing.”
Every Oasis Class ship that has rolled out has been a little bigger than the last.

Keith Woolford Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 VivaColombia to begin Cali flights Panama has added another flight to Colombia. On Sept. 5, VivaColombia, a low-cost airline, will begin flights between Panama and Cali, its third route between the two countries. It already offers flights to Medellin and Bogota. The company began operations in Panama in August 2014 and expects to have three weekly flights to the new destination. It flies out of the former Howard Air Force Base. Juan Emilio Posada, president of VivaColombia, said that while an increase in the department tax from $15 to $34 has impacted fares, the airline still expects to grow in Panama. http://www.prensa.com/in_english/VivaColombia-abrira-ruta-Cali-Panama-septiembre_21_4518508111.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costa Rica’s diverse landscape and animal life make it an ideal destination for eco-tourism. You’ll see plenty of both on this vacation, which includes a tour of the Arenal Volcano Expedition rainforests. There’s also some adventurous activities planned—you’ll soar through treetops on a zip line and relax in natural hot springs. Along the way, you’ll stay at hotels with tons of amenities like private gardens, pools, spas, and bars.

The tour starts in the morning, aprox 07:30am after breakfast, so get ready for your first ride over the canyons, through lush forests, above Pino Blanco waterfall (160 feets) & La Fortuna waterfall (200 feets), beside the Arenal Volcano and experience the adrenaline rush of observing the landscapes over the tree tops. The zip line tour is an authentic adventure through the rainforest. A cart pulled by a tractor will pick you up and drive you 3 kilometers through a dirt road. You will arrive at a lookout point where you can see the rushing waters of the Pino Blanco waterfall. You may see several species of animals that inhabit this area such as toucans, monkeys and frogs. Seven cables with a full distance of 1.7 miles and lengths from 400 feet to 3280 feets; after the canopy tour, you will visit a representation of a Maleku Indigenous Village, members of a tribe dressed in traditional clothes greet you with a refreshing beverage and teach you about their culture, language and traditions. They share stories about animals and the environment, expressing their gratitude for nature. You will return to the starting point on cart. Near the entrance, there is a butterfly garden and a frog room, which we encourage you to explore. If you put some fruit juice on your finger, the butterflies will land on you and exhibit the vibrant colors of their wings. At the end of the tour, we will take the transportation back to the hotel. You will have some part of the afternoon off to enjoy the on your way.
In the afternoon, you will be greeted by our guide aprox at 02:30 pm at the front desk, in order to reach El Silencio Private Reserve, to reach as close to the Arenal Volcano as permitted by car. From there, we will begin a 1 km walk along a trail of volcanic rock, rated as moderate in difficulty, to reach the observation point, which is the closest to the base of the volcano we can legally get. At the observation point, your guide will provide interesting information regarding the formation of the Arenal Volcano, its periods of activity, and unedited details of its major eruption in 1968, as well as giving you the opportunity to enjoy the incredible views of the Arenal Volcano and the Arenal Lake. Afterwards, we will begin our return trip down the same trail to the starting point.

The No. 1 Best Hotel in Utah places powder hounds right next to the slopes of Deer Valley Resort, offering lodgers ski-in, ski-out access. But it's not just a winter escape. A large outdoor pool, kayak and canoe routes and more than 300 miles of accessible hiking trails keep the Montage Deer Valley in season all year long. And aside from the plethora of on-site activities, the courteous and helpful staff is another major reason guests say they return to this luxury retreat. (Courtesy of Montage Deer Valley)
At first sight, Tetiaroa looks like a trick of the light, almost an aberration: it has a sci-fi glow. A pale blue of such luminosity, the remote, entirely private French Polynesian atoll’s water can be seen from outer space – astronauts orbiting the earth have enquired what it was. You leave from Tahiti (30 miles away, but it might be 3,000) and descend in a private six-seater directly into the Technicolor incandescence: a four-and-a-half-mile lagoon surrounded by a subterranean wall of living coral reef and circled by 12 cute green islands. Just one is used for the hotel’s 35 villas, the others solely occupied by frigate birds and ancient pandanus trees and honey bees. Tahitian royalty once lived here through the summers, prettifying their daughters for marriage, feeding them giant sea snails and sweet potato. All the islands are hemmed by white sand and shallow water rippling with baby fish. In deeper water are coral cathedrals for giant clams with mouths full of an algae in a trippy neon. The one-, two- and three-bedroom villas are decidedly more lustrous than the usual desert-island design in glass and ironwood, slate and silk. Each is set super-secretively in its own grounds, with a stretch of lonely white sand backed by dense trees. Your lazy eyes catch the occasional bright jags of oleander, jasmine, hibiscus and golden trumpet. Some guests stay put; some congregate at Bob’s Bar by the lodge’s restaurants (there are three, including a tiny new Japanese) and talk about the actor Marlon Brando, who bought Tetiaroa in 1967, having sailed past whilst scouting for locations for Mutiny on the Bounty (he even helped to develop the innovative 100 per cent renewable-energy seawater air-conditioning system here). A species of tilapia in the natural pond near the spa likes to gobble mosquito larvae: you won’t be bitten here. Best are the late afternoons, with the lulling sound of the Pacific crashing against the distant reef, waiting for the dusk, when the sky turns through the softest pastels into a stupefying heliconia red. By Antonia Quirke
Surrounded by the stark beauty of the southern Utah desert, this thrilling nexus of design and location has yet to be outshone by any other hotel in the USA. From a distance, it looks like a nuclear bunker; inside, it's all austere grandeur, concrete and glass, iron and wood, soaring space and dancing sunlight. In the main building, floor-to-ceiling windows give CinemaScope views of the desert and very cool pool; loungers are shaded by flowering cherry trees, of all unexpected things. The open kitchen with its wood-burning stove is here, and an indoor-outdoor restaurant and library. Insane prices rather squelch the appeal of the splendid spa, but the 34 rooms could make anyone grin: softest Beltrami linen, spotlit art in the loo, a free minibar (non-alcoholic drinks only, but addictive salted caramel popcorn) plus those devastating desert views from the bed, bath, twin showers and terrace. Most amazing, though, are the huge pool suites. The (mostly Mormon) staff will make up a daybed on the sky terrace for guests to sleep out beneath the stars. Excellent guides include geologists, archaeologists and an ex-Marine naturalist, and there are two daily hikes for spotting coyote, cougar, jackrabbits and deer mice. Food could be simpler and arrive sooner, but the bison steaks are perfect. And from November to March, meals are included in the room rate.
With its charming and peaceful streets, chic boutique hotels, and relaxed atmosphere, today’s Quebec City has certainly changed since its original incarnation as a defensive fort during the Revolutionary War. Today’s only invaders are peaceful and excited tourists, visiting what is often considered North America’s most European city. With cobbled streets, delightful architecture and a certain joie de vivre, Quebec City is often associated with French cities and towns.
Like other properties near Park City, Utah, Montage Deer Valley appeals to winter sports enthusiasts. All guests staying at the No. 1 Best Hotel in Park City will have access to ski concierge services and ski-in/ski-out access in addition to a bowling alley, an outdoor swimming pool and a 35,000-square-foot spa, among other year-round amenities. Travelers can also grab a bite to eat at one of five on-site restaurants before retiring to their spacious accommodations, which offer walk-in closets, private balconies or patios, fireplaces and marble bathrooms with deep-soaking tubs and heated floors.

Twenty-six years on, Ellerman House is still everybody’s fantasy bolthole in Cape Town: minutes from the best beaches and the Table Mountain cableway, but close enough to the city and its dynamic food, art and design scene. Sandwiched between Lion’s Head and the Atlantic Ocean, the Cape Edwardian mansion looks like a private residence from the road, one of many overlooking the sea in the wind-protected suburb of Bantry Bay. And that’s exactly what keeps guests coming back. The bar, restaurant and spa are exclusive to invited and resident guests, which means it’s very private and secure. Owner Paul Harris takes enormous pride in his country – his impressive collection of South African art spans original works from the turn of the last century to current contemporary art. An informal tour of the collection with one of the in-house art experts is a fascinating lesson in the country’s socio-political history. Then there are the 7,500 bottles of rare and vintage South African wines in the cellar and the indigenous plants sourced from Kirstenbosch (Cape Town’s answer to Kew) in the one-and-a-half acre terraced gardens. Besides the main house, there are two modern, minimalist private villas built into the granite mountainside, as well as a wine gallery and an excellent little spa. Checking into one of the individually decorated rooms in the house – many with local African design elements, some on the small size – feels both comfortable and comforting. As does the open-access kitchen. Walk right in, tell the chefs what you’re craving and it is whipped up in minutes. Better yet, take a snack back to your room. The post-sunset vista from the balcony has to be one of the best views of the Atlantic found anywhere on earth. By Jane Broughton

Built on the bones of an old temple (hence the name), this 142-room hotel is a haven for the hip and slightly edgy, and reflective of wider development in the Chengdu area. Designed by U.K. architecture firm Make, the hotel comprises two L-shaped halves separated by a verdant courtyard evoking Sichuan’s rice terraces. Rooms are minimalist and incorporate local materials (timber, bamboo, step stones) and architectural elements—ask if you can get one facing the courtyard. And while the hotel offers French bistro-style plates at its Temple Café and regionally inspired Italian fare at Tivano, head for the wood-lined Mi Xun Teahouse, whose design is inspired by Chinese medicine. With its vegan/vegetarian menu, it’s the hottest seat in the house—if you can get one.
Half an hour’s drive from Mérida, the state capital of Yucatán, Chablé began life as an 18th-century sisal hacienda, and many of its original buildings endure. The arcaded Casa Principal, its faded stucco the blue of a Madonna’s cloak, contains the bar and an enfilade of sitting rooms; the former machine house has been incorporated into the most ambitious of its four restaurants, which is under the auspices of Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil in Mexico City, ranked 11th in the World’s 50 Best Restaurants; and a smaller building contains an immense library of tequilas. In case you feel the urge to atone for a surfeit of high living, the chapel of San Antonio, after whom the San Antonio Chablé estate was named, remains a house of God. Forty contemporary white-limestone-and-glass casitas are strung across the densely wooded 300-hectare estate, each with its own terrace, pool and hammock, and guests fall broadly into two categories: those who have come to explore the ruins of ancient abandoned Maya cities – Chablé is well placed for visiting Uxmal, arguably the greatest example of these on the Yucatán peninsula – and those who are here for the spectacular forest spa, where the pools are lined in tiles of petrified wood. Surrounded by jungle, a dozen treatment cabins are arranged around a cenote, a water-filled sinkhole which the Maya believed to be a portal to the underworld but guests are told is a fountain of wellness. It’s a place of such beauty and charm that even non-converts to traditional Maya healing rituals will succumb to the overall spirit and peace. By Claire Wrathall
Casa Tua isn't the most obvious choice for a hotel in Miami - it's not beachfront and it lacks the city's signature Art Deco style - but that's pretty much the point. There's something wonderfully idiosyncratic about this red-roofed, Mediterranean-style villa, an appeal that draws the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Kate Hudson. While the rest of South Beach is all splash factor and excitable Kardashian clones, this place remains as peaceful and detached as a Tuscan hideaway. With their big marble bathrooms, overstuffed sofas and canopy beds, the five all-white suites manage to feel both homely and luxurious. But there can be little doubt that the downstairs restaurant is the biggest draw, with a fabulous courtyard lit by dozens of antique lanterns and a living room-like interior filled with framed black-and-white photos. The food fits in perfectly with this smart but homespun vibe: seared seabass with olives, tomatoes, artichokes and asparagus; tiramisu for pudding. Casa Tua doesn't have a pool, but it's possible to book a spot at the Delano hotel's beach, a block and a half away.

Closer to home, we saw familiar, boutique favorites, such as Vermont’s culinary mecca Twin Farms; Montana’s rustic-luxe Triple Creek Ranch; and Big Sur, California’s adults-only Post Ranch Inn — accessible again now that Highway 1 has recovered from last year’s mudslides — all make the list this year. C Lazy U Ranch, a family-friendly dude ranch in the Colorado Rockies, is making its World’s Best debut — and it managed to crack the top 100. “As someone who has been fortunate enough to travel to 86 countries, I can say that C Lazy U ranks at the very top of the list,” said one devoted fan. “The accommodations and activities are excellent.”
One of the curious things about the Anassa is how tricky it is to parcel up and present. Capturing the wholeness of the place, framing its splendid size, its weighty elegance, its thrilling solidity, is challenging. It is so much more than the sum of its parts: a cracking hotel, which is at once back-straighteningly smart and also effortless. Diamonds and flip-flops. Exquisite sashimi and sticky-sweet ice-cream cones. As on the button for peace-seeking grown-ups as it is for half-term and school holiday hijinks. And because of the reliable balminess of the weather, it’s as delightful in early May as in mid-October and all the months in between. The imposing, traditional Greek Cypriot-style buildings, with their terracotta-tiled roofs, whitewashed walls and periwinkle-blue shutters, spill down to pools and rolling lawns that in turn tumble onto the beach. There is space, endless space everywhere, and wide-eyed views of the scoop of Chrysochou Bay for scuba diving straight off the shore. Hushed dinners at Asian-leaning Basiliko are followed by weekly torchlit grilled-swordfish barbecues and local folk suppers in the chapel courtyard under blousy branches of bougainvillaea. The rooms are classic and calm, pale linens, a jaunty nautical stripe, muslin curtains, and at night, with the windows flung open, all you can hear is the lick of sea on sand. After a week of sleeping, swimming, feasting and spa-ing everyone leaves feeling properly rested for the first time in months. Which is why they come back again and again. By Issy von Simson
Named for singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt, a country music legend, this hotel fits right into the Live Music Capital of the World. Musical touches are everywhere: chandeliers made from French horns; a lobby bar record player that pipes tunes into the elevators; artwork in the shape of flying birds made out of vinyl. Every room has an impressive view of either the city or Lady Bird Lake, and is done in a stylish palette of gray and dark blue. But while the furniture is run-of-the-mill Restoration Hardware, the artwork is bespoke: think framed replicas of vintage concert posters and a historic map of Austin as wallpaper.

The Jefferson, Washington, DC has been catering to Washington's most elite visitors since 1923, providing a taste of European luxury in the heart of the United States capital. The Beaux-Arts era reigns supreme here, with early 20th century paintings and sculptures lining the checkered floors. The Jefferson's elegant accommodations are appointed with Bose sound systems, walk-in showers, flat-screen TVs and complimentary Wi-Fi access. (For a little more space, upgrade to a suite, which will come equipped with a coffee maker and, in some suites, balconies overlooking the Washington Monument.) Recent guests highly recommend making good use of the intimate on-site spa during your stay, and the in-house gourmet restaurants, Plume and The Greenhouse, earn particularly high praise, along with the on-site bar, Quill.

Colorado is the place for big skies, crystal-clear rivers and valleys peppered with ranches. And Dunton Hot Springs is the state's original retreat offering super-smart rooms in a rustic setting, the one we first fell in love with. About 90 minutes' drive from Durango, in the San Juan National Forest, this former ghost town and natural hot spring sets the bar for glamping. From the outside, the 12 guest cabins look like 19th-century homesteads crafted from planks and corrugated iron; inside, there are bison-skin rugs, cowhide throws and surprising ethnic touches such as a Rajasthani wedding bed or African mask. More Wild West-themed rooms display homespun cowboy-print curtains, ticking stripe and gingham. Owners Christoph and Katrin Henkel have spared little expense in creating this magical, 200-acre getaway. Chef Carrie Eagle prepares meals using local ingredients, and the list of activities includes snowshoeing, fly-fishing, river rafting and horse riding. Top that? The Henkels have tried with Dunton River Camp, their new property just four miles downriver, where eight super-luxe tents have views of elks grazing on bluebell-covered meadows.

This spa resort doesn't take any of its five stars for granted, particularly when it comes to delivering first-rate customer service. Recent guests can't help but keep the compliments coming: Travelers say that the resort staff took extra care to personalize each experience. One problem you might face, however, is exclusivity. The Acqualina Resort & Spa on the Beach only has 98 guest rooms and suites, so be sure to book early for an upcoming trip to Sunny Isles Beach. The rooms come with flat-screen TVs and private balconies, as well as double sinks and glass-enclosed showers. Meanwhile, the property also features three in-house eateries, four pools, a spa and beach amenities. What's more, the hotel is part of The Leading Hotels of the World, meaning Leaders Club members have access to perks here. You'll find the Acqualina Resort & Spa in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, about 11 miles north of Miami Beach.

Executive Summary -
In this section, we discuss the pros and cons of the card and give our verdict and conclusions. For those of you who fly this airline, you might just want to consider this card.
If you are a frequent flyer on Frontier Airlines, then this is a card that you might just want to consider. But this is not the only card that can earn you Frontier miles so we'll now look at the pros and cons before coming to a conclusion.
To start off, you do not get your "first baggage checked in free" as a perk for this card, unlike many FF cards that offer this benefit. That may or may not be a problem for you. If you are an elite member of their loyalty program (specifically the Summit and Ascent Level), you get your first two baggage checked in free (regardless). The third bag is always a $50 charge.
You can also get your first two baggage free if you book "classic and classic plus fares". Classic fares are $100 above economy fares and Classic Plus fares are $175 above economy fares and are fully refundable. They both have different perks that economy fares do not have.
Therefore, if you are are always purchasing classic and classic plus fares or are Summit and Ascent levels, then the lack of "free baggage check in" feature should not bother you. But regardless of fare type, you still have to pay a $50 fee for your third baggage.
Another feature that this card does not have is that they do not have any free lounges passes for their card members. But that is not really an issue because Frontier has hardly any lounge at all. They do have a Best Care Lounge at their Denver Hub (former MidWest Lounge) and not much else.
One of the things that I really do like is the low annual fee. At $59, this must be one of the lowest annual fee for FF cards. The average range is about $85 to $130.
If you fly to or from Denver International Airport, the three major airlines you will be taking will be United, Frontier and SouthWest. SouthWest is gaining market share on both these airlines at this hub, but Frontier considers you ski equipment as your baggage. So if you go to Colorado for skiing often, then Frontier might be your preferred choice! If Frontier is the only airline that you fly, then this would be a great card to get and it will definitely help you to earn more miles. If you fly other airlines (not SouthWest or United) as well, you might want to supplement it with the Premier Rewards Gold Card (Details here) because you can triple points on airfares and transfer points to your Frontier account. Occasionally, Amex will have a bonus promotion where you get extra points when you transfer them to a particular airline.
If fly from Denver and fly both Frontier and either SouthWest or United (or all three), I will still be tempted to get this card simply because the annual fee is low.
Conclusion - I would end this review by stating that this is a decent frequent flyer card. It does not have features like free checked baggage, free club lounge passes. But the lack of these features is due to their other corporate policies than the card itself. If you fly this airline a lot, then we would not hesitate recommending this card.

Tuscan vineyard property comprising 11.0 hectares of Morellino di Scansano DOCG vineyards, wine cellar and a 6-bedroom villa used for a holiday rental accommodation business.
Tuscan vineyard property with Rental Business
Tuscan vineyard property with Rental Business in an ideal location for wine production and tourism, near the Tuscan coast and towns such as Grosseto, Scansano, Orbetello, Castiglione della Pescaia, Punta Ala, Follonica. The estate has 11.0 hectares of Morellino di Scansano DOCG vineyards with a spacious wine cellar (over 1,000 sqm) with rooms for the staff and a 6-bedroom villa used for a holiday rental accommodation business. Yearly production is around 70,000 bottles of wine.
The main structure (1,000 sqm – 10,760 sqft) is divided into two levels.
The basement is wholly dedicated to the wine cellar (800 square metres), which includes chambers for grape processing and ageing in barriques.
The upper floor contains service facilities for the estate’s employees.
The property has been rented out in recent years, and the cellar now lacks grape processing and winemaking equipment.
The villa has a surface area of 600 square metres – 6,456 square feet with six bedrooms, and eight bathrooms on three levels as follows
– Basement: living room with pool table, gym, hammam, and two bathrooms; – Ground floor: living room, dining room, and kitchen; – First floor: six bedrooms, two with balconies and three with individual sitting areas, plus a small living room with sofa bed.
The villa is used for tourist vacation rentals.
The home is then encircled by a magnificent 5,300square metre garden with views of the Maremma hills (Parco dell’Uccellina) and the sea to the horizon.
Two swimming pools (12 x 7 m for adults and 8 x 4 m for youngsters) with sunbathing space provide a relaxing spot to spend the lovely summer days.
A barbeque is also accessible and ideal for dining al fresco.
The cellar, which was purpose-built for practicality, is in good structural and aesthetic condition.
One of the property’s strong points is the lovely vaulted cellar, which was inspired by the crypts typically found under medieval Romanesque churches.
Simultaneously, the villa is in good shape, owing to its usage as a holiday rental establishment.
A few minor updates could elevate the building to a higher rating as a guest lodging, resulting in larger rental revenue.
The building housing the cellar is surrounded by 11.0 hectares of vineyard, entirely registered as Morellino di Scansano DOCG and made up of Sangiovese, Alicante, Syrah and Petit Verdot vines. Such uncommon grapes are rarely used for Morellino: this means that these wines have unique features and a very original taste.

Perhaps it was the room they gave us. 1st floor and it was not a good experience. The shower sprayer wouldn't stay up(it was so bad we could just laugh about it), the Clorox they used on the sheets was so strong that my skin broke out. The cleaning crew arrived at or before 6AM so we could hear every pass they made while vacuuming. We are platinum priority members and this is the first time I've felt compelled to write a review on a hotel. I expected much better.

We were here for a military reunion and stayed four nights. On our own we probably wouldn't stay here. The room seemed to have been recently renovated but I didn't like the layout. It was kind of cramped; there was no bed side lamps, just overhead lights that could only be turned on/off on one side of the bed; there... More

Car Rental Riyadh Airport | Rent a car Riyadh Riyadh Airport Terminal 2 Guide
King Khalid international Airport lies 35 km north of Saudi Arabia’s city of Riyadh. The airport boasts of a total of 4 terminals, but it is only three of them that are in use. It has eight aero-bridges, a parking area that can accommodate 11,600 vehicles, a mosque, and a royal terminal among many other unique features. The airport remains among the world’s airports with large ground area. What is so special about the airport’s terminal 2?
Terminal 2 is reserved for the international flights for NAS Air, Air France and Saudia. However, the terminals connect to one another via three linking buildings. The buildings are 168 meters tall. All terminals are triangular in shape. Can I rent a car from terminal 2?
The complex boasts of plenty of facilities for the comfort of the traveler. Not only can you find car rental companies at terminal 2, but you can also find airlines offices, restaurants, hotels, taxi counters, commercial shops and first aid clinics, among many other things. It is important that you understand that you can not drive on Saudi Arabian public roads as a woman, neither can you be a passenger with a man who is not a close family member unless you are in a taxi. What about parking?
There is plenty of parking space available right in front of the airport’s terminal 2. The good thing is that the parking lots are on either side of the airport’s mosque. It is not going to be difficult getting a park, if you have hired a car from the many cheap car hire companies available at the terminal, and you would like to get into the mosque. Additionally, your car is always safe. Can I exchange currency at the terminal?
The terminal has banks as well as other currency exchange outlets. The official currency used in Saudi Arabia is known as Saudi Arabian Riyal. If you want to rent a car, pay a taxi or other services, you need to have some Riyals with you. There are ATM machines at terminal 2 too. How is public transport like from terminal 2?
Taxis remain the sole public transport means from the airport, whatever terminal you are at. Additionally, they are always paid for in advance. It is only taxis that have the airport logo that are reliable, and are available round the clock. They always have meters, and travelers are always advised to ensure they hire a taxi with a meter. If possible, just rent a car since it is the most convenient travel means. What do I expect Riyadh as a tourist?
There is plenty to see in the city of Riyadh. However, sightseeing can be one frustrating experience since it calls for careful timing. This is because most of the destinations are closed during prayer hours and weekends. However, many of the sites open till 9 pm hence it is possible to stay out till late. Some top destinations include;
Wadi Hanifa among many others.

It was a nice to be in that hotel for the price we paid. The only problem is the Wi-Fi signal, it was so difficult to get the Wi-Fi signal in our room. The breakfast is ok but I recommend a general buffet table to save food.
We’d booked this hotel online as it was close to the train station. For that fact it was very convenient. There are shops along the roads but if you want to go to places like Marienplatz where there’s a lot more shops it does take a bit to walk there. Trams and trains are available though. Breakfasts ...
We were greeted with professionalism. We had single rooms which were clean and comfortable. The entrance to the U-Bahn was steps away from the front door. One of our rooms had a dangerously high step on tile (slippery when wet) to enter the walk in shower was the only bad thing. Breakfast was really ...
The Pension Belo Sono is not a "hotel" as much as it is a short-term apartment, with complete kitchen, from which one could thoroughly explore Munich.

Fri, 29 Apr|
Climbing, walking, cycling, whatever your preference Dartmoor is the place to do it so join us for our first camping trip of the year
Time & Location
29 Apr, 19:00 BST – 02 May, 18:00 BST
Cockingford Campsite, Cockingford Campsite, Widecombe in the Moor, Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ13 7TG
About the Event
Our first camping trip of the year will be a return to Dartmoor. We had a lovely time staying at Cockingford Farm Campsite on our last visit to Dartmoor so that will be our base of operations for this trip. We are 'pencilled in' for up to 15 people to stay at the campsite but we do want to let the campsite know how many of us there will actually be so please RSVP to this event if you'll be coming (and email Andy Potter if you are bringing anyone with you). The campsite have kindly allowed us to not pay a deposit and are happy for us to cancel if the weather is dire (in which case we can head where the weather is better).
The campsite is basic but has toilets, showers, etc, fires are allowed provided they are off the ground (e.g. a fire pit or raised BBQ). The campsite has a friendly but quiet vibe, so no loud music and quiet after 10pm. The charges to be paid on arrival are £8 per adult per night, and £4 per child (5-16) per night. Dogs are welcome provided they are kept on a lead. Please note this is a 'family friendly' meet so there maybe club members with their children camping on site.
Given the distance to Dartmoor and the current fuel prices it makes sense to share lifts. Nearer the time if you are offering lifts or looking for a lift contact Andy Potter and we'll try spread the word to those attending. You might also wish to share tents and food/catering arrangements. You'll need to bring your own food and equipment for cooking (unless you plan to eat out, in which case make sure you book well in advance). Widecombe village is a half hour walk from the campsite and has 2 pubs, a cafe, and general store.

This is a long review but hopefully helpful. Here goes:
It is important to make the distinction between the original hotel and the Royal Service element which was built a few years ago. That is the one point that no-one really hammers home on their review. We have stayed in hotels with separate areas before including Excellence in Dominican Republic and El Dorado Royale in Mexico and in those cases the upgrade area was essentially part of the same hotel. In the case of Paradisus the Royal Service is a very distinct area to the point that it may as well be a different hotel.
Bearing this in mind I would rate the Royal Service very highly indeed. My wife and I have stayed in some very nice hotels in recent years and this ranks up there with the best. Again it’s important to say that we are a professional couple with no family who like to spend a bit extra on having a nice holiday, we’re not Donald Trump. So in the context of staying on Necker Island its not as good (I’d imagine ) but in the context of your average couple who like a nice hotel it is very good indeed.
Sticking with the Royal Service (RS) element, we were given a separate private transfer from the airport. This was part of the RS package and didn’t cost extra. This meant we did not have to wait at all to get going to the hotel and makes the whole experience a little more special. The rooms are modern, very large, very well appointed and certainly one of the best rooms we’ve ever stayed in. They have large beds, fantastic living areas, huge bathrooms and best of all a great outdoor shower (don’t worry you can’t be seen). Just amazing. You also get a butler, which effectively amounts to a team of butlers who will do whatever you want if you just simple phone the RS reception. As with most British people we didn’t make the most of this facility really. It goes without saying that food arrives quickly and you can have a bottle of any wine, spirit etc you can think of sent to your room. No limits and no delay. I was content working though a bottle of Havana Especial but I could have drunk 10 of them and no one would have asked any questions. It’s fantastic service.
The majority of the RS rooms split into two categories, Sea View and Non Sea View although there are some very large suits nestled in the trees on the way to the beach. The reality is that some of the non sea view rooms also have a view of the sea as this area of the hotel is raised up above the beach. We stayed for the majority of our time in one of the non sea view rooms (which as I say had a bit of sea view). We changed to a first floor sea view room opposite at the end of our stay for a couple of nights due to a leaking air con unit in our original room. The air con problem was dealt with immediately and we were switched rooms seamlessly. In conclusion if you can afford it I would go for a sea view and preferably a first floor. The view was just breathtaking and the balcony a little more private, other than that the room was identical.
The pool area (three tier infinity pool) was very beautiful and very relaxed and quiet. It is in front of the RS reception and has its own bar. The waiter will bring you drinks and fruit all day without asking. It’s pure luxury. The rest of the RS reception lounge and bar is very relaxing and the service is second to non. On an evening there is a different musician every night playing in the lounge ranging from Piano to Acoustic Guitar. They certainly go a long way to making you feel special.
The RS has its own beaches. These are not very large but are picture postcard perfect. Simply breathtaking and have great snorkelling within a few meters of the shore.
Now on the Food!. This is linked to one of the main problems with the Royal Service. The fact that it is so distinct from the main hotel yet relies on the main hotel for much of the additional amenities such as restaurants. When you arrive your butler asks what restaurants you would like to book for the week. After a 9 hour flight plus transfer etc we didn’t know what we wanted to eat in the next 10 mins never mind all week. It turns out that there are around 5 al a carte restaurants and they fill up quickly. If you want to eat in them you have to book quickly. The booking system is flawed and frustrating. I uncharacteristically threw my toys out the pram and complained, needless to say we ended up getting the bookings but I got the impression had I not kicked up a fuss this wouldn’t have happened.
The food itself (compared to other Caribbean hotels) was very average bar the Japanese restaurant which was fantastic. I’m not a food connoisseur but I really didn’t enjoy most of the meals which is a shame.
Restaurants aside the main hotel in my opinion is not 5*. Even in the context of other Caribbean hotels I would say it’s around 3*. Don’t get me wrong there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it at all but if you have stayed at a good 5* hotel in Mexico, Dominican, St Lucia etc then you will be disappointed. In general it is a little run down which is pretty typical for most Caribbean hotels and there is one main bar on an evening which struggles to cope with a medium size crowd. The pool is huge and very nice with lots of places to lie out in the sun. Yes it may need a paint but it’s in keeping with the rest of the main hotel to be honest. The beach is very nice and there is a great beach bar and restaurant. All in all a very nice hotel but don’t be under the impression that it is a spotless modern 5* sort of place.
In conclusion we would definitely recommend a stay at the Paradisus. The Royal Service is for those who genuinely want 5* rooms and service and surroundings and in that respect I think it is well worth the extra cash. In that context it is definitely up there with the best in this category in our opinion. The main hotel is also very nice but it is definitely not a 5* hotel compared to other islands, however for Cuba I get the impression it is probably still streets ahead of the competition.
Hopefully this has been useful for anyone looking to stay.
Simon & Jenny (Mid 30’s)
Royal Service. Try and push to a first floor sea view room if you can, you wont be dissapointed.

Thank you very much for all your comments and for sharing them with us on tripadvisor.com
I am glad to read that you found our Royal Service to be of a very high standard and that you did find the area and the services luxurious. Thank you for comparing with all this very respectful and well recognize companies that are definitely of a high standard and has gain a very well deserve recognition on the market.
Regarding the main hotel, I always believe that the question is if we provide value for money and I strongly believe that we do. As you said there are many five star hotels in the world, all of them with prices that varies from 6000 US$ a night just the room, to 100 US$ all inclusive. So it is always difficult to compare just by the stars of the hotels, but I believe that in service we can compare with most of them. It is true that been located in Cuba we have some challenges that other countries might not have, like the embargo the country has that make difficult for us to have easy access to many products like any other country on the region, but I think this is something most of our guest knows before choosing to come to us.
I would like to thank you again for your comments From them we learn and they encourage us to work harder in order to meet all of our guests expectations.
Warm regards from Paradisus Río de Oro,
Eduardo Perera Castro

Nice and clean place in the centre of Belgarde 5 min to bus and train station, 10 min to historical centre with a great price. It was really a change, compare to centre located hostels. So, if you are looking for a place with comfortable bed to fall in after hard party night- its perfect. The only down side, the place has really thin walls and till 3 am people are coming in, talking , watching TV in apartments around and it all seems like in the same room with you. I easily talked to person with TV over the wall!)
Otherwise, tho host is very welcoming too.
