The Lazio region
At only 3minites subway Line A and several bus stops. The metro provides access to S.Giovanni and the main points of interest of the city, as piazza di Spagna, Fontana di Trevi, Ciampino Airport is only 9 km away. You get quickly to termini station to take the train to Fiumicino Airport.
This neighbourhood is located very close to the city centre in a busy commercial area and a real favourite among the locals for shopping. At the heart of the district is the main square the Piazza Re di Roma, which is also the point of convergence for its most important avenues. The Square is very well connected to the rest of the city with public transport; there is a metro stop (line A); and it has a great offer of banks, supermarkets, restaurants and cafeterias. In the centre of the square there is a small park. The neighbourhood grew up along and around the Via Appia in the 1930s and over the years has become an important commercial district that reached its peak particularly after the arrival of the metro. The Via Appia Nuova crosses the square, and a walk along the avenue heads towards the centre up to the Piazzale Appio, passing under the Porta S. Giovanni and leading directly to the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano (Basilica of St John Lateran), the first of the four papal basilicas.

Adult males range from 40 to 52 feet and can weigh up to 45 tons. Despite their size, humpback whales are graceful acrobats. Keep your eye on the ocean and you might see one breach, propelling up to 40 percent of its body out of the water and landing on its side with a spectacular splash.
Whales have great cultural significance for Native Hawaiians. They play a large role in Hawaiian legend—including one creation story—and appear in ancient petroglyphs on several islands. The return of the kohola (humpback whale) is considered more of a homecoming than a visit. Humpback whales are born in Hawaiian waters, making them kamaaina (native born). Some Native Hawaiians also believe the whales are aumakua (family guardians), so these gentle giants are treated with great respect.
Cultural Significance of Whales in Hawaii
Although humpback whales can be seen from all of the Hawaiian Islands, the shallow Auau Channel between Maui, Molokai and Lanai is one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world.
What's the Best Way to See Whales?
You may also spot kohola from the southern shores of Oahu, especially at Makapuu Lighthouse and along the seaside overlooks near Leahi (Diamond Head).
Kauai offers a range of whale-viewing opportunities, including Poipu Beach on the South Shore, Kilauea Lighthouse on the North Shore and Kapaa Overlook on the island’s Coconut Coast.
On the island of Hawaii, whales are often seen along the shores of the Kohala Coast, as well as Hilo Bay on the east side of the island. The Puukohola Heiau National Historic Site is another great viewing spot, with its sweeping, elevated views near Kawaihae Harbor. In fact, Puukohola literally means “hill of the whale” in Hawaiian.
Boat tours may be your best option for viewing whales up close. Hawaii has dozens of tour operators, including a few that lead kayak excursions—a thrilling way to experience these majestic mammals.
In respect for the kohola and the safety of sightseers, all watercraft must stay a minimum of 100 yards from the whales, but you'll be surprised how close you feel when a 45-ton behemoth lunges out of the sea. If a boat tour is not for you, the whales’ impressive acrobatic displays are often visible from miles away. If you're on land, keep a pair of binoculars handy because you never know when you'll see a humpback’s spout (which can be 10–20 feet tall).
Holua Resort at Mauna Loa Village offers spacious one-, and two-bedroom villas featuring private lanais and stunning views. Enjoy eight sparkling swimming pools, hot tubs, eleven world-class tennis courts, a fitness center, on-site activities and more.
Volcano Village Lodge offers private lodges in the Volcano, Hawaii rainforest - located 2 miles from the main entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Each lodge offers luxurious linens, top quality amenities, fireplace, and covered lanai. Rates from $280/night.
This oceanfront Resort offers spacious rooms featuring large lanais with beautiful mountain or ocean views, a private swimming lagoon and sandy beach area, oceanfront pool, and Luau show. Dine at the signature Don the Beachcomber Restaurant and Mai Tai Bar.
Kona Natural Soap Company manufacturers and sells aromatheraphy vegan soaps and infused kukui nut oils; grows and sells 100% Kona Coffee and 100% Hawaiian roasted cocoa beans grown on our bio-diverse 5 acre farm called Kokoleka Lani Farm. We also offer culinary tours through "Home Tours Hawaii."
Nestled among pristine fairways and lava rock fields within the tropical haven of Waikoloa on Hawaii’s Big Island. Spacious and luxurious one and two-bedroom suites exude comfort and style with all the conveniences of home.
With an eclectic mix of shops and locally-owned boutiques, galleries, a top-rated salon and day spa, notable restaurants, a popular food court, a luxury cinema, and an anchor grocery store, Queens’ MarketPlace is the gathering place of the Kohala Coast.
Situated in a tranquil tropical setting in Kailua-Kona, the Wyndham Mauna Loa Village awaits your arrival with spacious accommodations. Moreover, it offers amazing amenities that include 6 outdoor swimming pools, 6 whirlpool tubs, 11 tennis courts, laundry facilities, and children's activities.

We had a quite few more days in Belek and after exploring everything we decided to visit Istanbul for a day. Flights were perfect, transfers also. We had a guide there, he was lovely. The guy was local and knew lots and lots of things about history. During the day we went to some of the most famous places. This city has everything!!! I really liked my day there and the schedule was perfect, not too much. I wish we had more days, there are so many things to do and see there. My personal favourite was the cruise we had in Bosporus. It was an extra charge but definitely worthy!
Our tour in Istanbul was one of the things I will always remember!!! I really enjoy learning new things and of course I’m a fan of sightseeing. So this tour was just what I needed! We went to mosques, palaces, museums. It was fantastic. Our guide was very keen in letting us know things. The visit at the bazaar was super. I bought many souvenirs and tasted some delicious local things. What really made an impression is that you can see things from different periods. But they all mix so perfect. Great tour, great guide. Highly recommended!

I stayed with a friend here for 2 nights as part of our visit to South Africa. The time from the moment we arrived was special with great service, stunning accommodation and surroundings to make you want to stay a lot longer. The food was great and the Holden Manz wines delicious. Everything that we asked for was catered for and they arranged a tour guide for the areas other vineyards which was great too. The village and the surrounding estates are all great and I only wish we had booked for longer here.
Thanks to all the staff at Holden Manz I remember my stay fondly and hope to be back one day.

Every day was another adventure! We are definitely planning on going back to a different region of India. Read full review
As the pioneers of responsible tourism, we've screened this (and every) vacation so that you can travel knowing it will help support the places and people that you visit, and the planet. Read how below.
PlanetWe put a lot of thought in working with local providers, making sure that everyone involved in your trip is committed to sharing advice on how best to leave a lighter footprint. We promote excursions which foster a more sustainable tourism and commit to maintaining small-group sizes to limit negative environmental impacts in accordance to the carrying capacity of the visited site.
We are trying to keep the extra unneeded waste to a minimum in all our tours through our “bring it in, bring it out” policy for litter and rubbish such as food packaging and recycling wherever possible.
We have a recycling policy in our UK and local offices and re-use or recycle the information booklets we provide to every client on arrival wherever possible. Moreover, we do not produce a glossy brochure, concentrating on a comprehensive website, and providing as much information to our travelers as possible electronically, reducing the use of paper and inks.
On your trip we will include transport modes like traditional rickshaws, boat rides or a ride on a horse carriage to the Taj Mahal, which reduces our carbon footprint and will also give you the opportunity to meet and interact with the local people. During your city explorations, we will give preference to slow, possibly non-motorized forms of mobility, such as city walks or bicycles. If motorized forms are unavoidable, we make sure that vehicle sizes are as small as appropriate and proper licensing on vehicles and certifying to national emission standards are maintained.
For your tour we have chosen responsible resorts like the Tree House Resort, nestled among the undulating centuries old Aravali Hills. A percentage of its monthly earnings goes towards various renewable projects in the local area, such as continuously creating awareness amongst team members and guests of the impact of greenhouse gases, using all possible means of renewable energy and energy conservation (solar panels, use of natural stone and lime instead of cement and iron), and advocating the need for water harvesting and recycling (natural landscaping requiring minimum use of water, filtering and recycling water system for irrigation). The Tree of Life Resort works on the principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, which form the basics of the work schedule of each and every team member at the resort.
You will also stay at the ecological responsible Leela Palace in Udaipur. The Leela hotel group uses biodegradable detergents in its properties, avoids plastic and exercises strict controls on the usage of electricity, water, heating and lighting, with numerous international and national awards for initiatives towards environment conservation. The resorts implement state-of-the-art waste management practices with the emphasis on conserving all possible natural resources and complying with every applicable legislative and regulatory strictures and procedures. The group moreover landscaped wide swathes of urban property with over 6000 coconut palms and thousands of trees to beautify and cleanse the air.
Through this trip you will contribute to the preservation of precious ancient monuments, knowledge and Unesco World Heritage sites. You will visit the Red Fort for example, demonstrating the exceptional results achieved in planning and architecture. Or you will contribute to the maintenance of the most significant, most comprehensive, and best preserved stone observatory in India, the Jantar Mantar in Jaipur.
PeopleWe make sure we only work with local guides that come from the very region you are visiting. Through this trip you are hence giving back to their families and communities.
While many operators pay per day or per tour, our guides receive an hourly rate which allows a fair and fruitful reward for their expertise. We provide staff with written employment contracts and fair working conditions (e.g. overtime payment, national wage requirements, no discrimination, grievance mechanisms in place and no child labour). Our tour guides also receive special training in how to leave a lower impact on the trips and in regional conservation projects.
We ensure that our drivers do not more than 9 hours of driving per day and are provided adequate accommodation and do not drive at night (with the exception of airport pick-ups/drop-offs). After a driving period of 4.5 h the driver must take a break of at least 45 min.
Through your stay at the hotels we have chosen, like The Tree of Life resort, you will contribute to organisations that are supporting the local community to the most. The Tree of Life resort for example shares the village with families dependant on farming and livestock. The local community has been involved in the hotel project right from the conceptual stage, with the workforce coming from the village itself. The Tree of Life Resort & Spa has adopted the local school and is working towards making the children computer literate by providing computers and training and making efforts to teach them basic English. They are also setting up a local dispensary to provide medical facilities free of cost, especially to young children and the elderly.
By staying at the Oberoi hotel we chose for you in Agra, you will contribute to an organisation which is conscious of its role in the community, supporting social needs and ensuring employment from within the local community. You will enjoy a place where the staff are nurtured through continuous learning and skill improvement; and are respected, heard and encouraged to do their best. The Oberoi Group is recognised as best practice for training and developing its people.
If you want to do souvenir shopping, we will take you to local markets where locals of that very region craft their products to help keep the money earned in that very community. When we take you to local shops or markets we change the selected shops on a rotating basis. Also we make sure food stops are at locally owned cafes or restaurants and give customers recommendations on locally owned shop and restaurants, especially new start-ups.
We ensure customer awareness by familiarizing our guests with local history, culture, religions and traditions, by informing on culturally appropriate behavior, (e.g. dress codes for religious sites, taking photographs of people, language tips, etc.).
On your trip you can live special experiences which will help keep local wisdoms and traditions alive, encouraging local artisan and culture, for example by participating in the traditional Puja ceremony at the Oberoi hotels, the traditional yoga classes or by learning the traditional art of block-printing while making your very own painting or scarf. Or you can experience a traditional ritual ceremony at the 150 year old Shiva temple and a session with the Astrologer at your stay at the Leela Palace in Udaipur.

Answered Question - Disney Parks Moms Panel
- I'm going to DISNEY WORLD! Woohooo! On a business trip though, and the conference hotel host is not Disney owned. Will I be able to use the Magic Band that I received in September on our most recent trip even though I will not be an "on property"
- - Asked by Megan from Pennsylvania on 12/18/2013
- Hi, Megan!
Woo Hoo is right!! I can't think of a better place to go on a business trip than at the Walt Disney World Resort! Talk about magical! :)
Even though you are not staying at a Disney-owned Resort hotel, you should still be able to connect your Theme Park tickets to your MagicBand from your previous vacation. There is a place within My Disney Experience to link tickets once you've actually got them. You'll be prompted to enter in the number on the back of the tickets and you'll be all set!
I hope this helps! Please let us know if we can help with any other questions you have!
Wishing you a Pixie Dusted business trip!!

You want a great automobile to take you around Landingville whether you're traveling for a business trip or a vacation. See the famous sites around the area and pull up in front of the popular restaurants in Landingville. CarRentals.com has gathered your most frequently asked questions about renting a car in Landingville. Read on to discover the dos and don'ts of car rentals.
Where do I get a great deal on a rental car in Landingville?
You are on your way to locating the best rate on your car rental with us. But, you can try to do a few things to keep your next booking affordable. Be sure to:
- Compare the prices of vehicles
- Try to avoid pick-ups or drop-offs at airports, which can cost more
- Determine ahead of time how much mileage/fuel you may use
- Search and reserve as far in advance as you can
These tips can help you save even more on your next car rental in Landingville.
What rental suppliers have outlets in Landingville?
From global names like Avis and Sixt to budget-friendly brands like Fox and Budget, CarRentals.com has some of the best brands in the business. Look through the reviews to help you figure out which meets your needs.
What types and makes of rental cars are on offer in Landingville?
That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit Landingville. If you're having trouble deciding, be sure to go over our chart below. We've compared the most popular categories for you:
|Car Type||Best for||Category Includes|
|Luxury||Business travelers who want a little luxury as they cruise Landingville||Cadillac, Audi, or similar|
|Minivan or SUV||Large groups who want to navigate Landingville together||Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Quest, or similar|
|Hybrid||Those looking for a fuel-efficient vehicle||Toyota Prius, Honda Civic, or similar|
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Landingville?
Normally, to rent a car in Landingville you must be at least 21. Please note, there might be an added fee if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals. Read over the terms to figure out what the exact fee will be before you reserve your rental.
Is insurance required to rent a car in Landingville?
When cruising through Landingville or the rest of the United States, you'll need insurance. Many suppliers need proof of insurance before you pick up your automobile. Most countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to pay for interim coverage through the rental supplier. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com during checkout.
Although many major card issuers, like MasterCard or Visa, offer some insurance, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you get a luxury or larger vehicle. Make sure to check the rental car company's policy before you decide.
What is the difference between all the fuel policies?
Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Here is a list of the typical policies.You will have to find an open gas station close to your car rental supplier
|Policy Type||Policy Description||Advantages||Disadvantages|
|Full to Full||There will be a full tank of gas when you get your automobile. Use as much gas as you want and then refill the tank when you drop the vehicle off. As long as you replace the fuel before returning the car, you won't face any extra fees||You only need to replace the fuel you used. Used a half of a tank? Then you just fill it back up to full. You won't need to pay for any fuel you didn't use. You won't pay more than local fuel prices and you'll only pay service fees if you don't fill up the tank|
|Full to empty (pre-paid)||You'll pay for a full tank of fuel and return the car with the tank empty. Many rental car companies offer a refund for any unused fuel. Be sure to confirm with them beforehand||You won't have to find for a gas station before you return your car||The supplier usually charges a higher rate for the fuel than a local gas station|
|Empty to empty||You won't have a full tank when you pick up your vehicle, and you don't have to fill the tank back up when you drop it back off||You fill the tank yourself, so you won't pay more than local pump prices||You'll need to locate a gas station as soon as you collect the car|
What type of fuel policy should I choose?
Most rental car suppliers provide you a full to full tank policy. We advise returning the car filled up. For a cheaper rate, it is best to find a filling station before bringing the vehicle.
Is it worth getting unlimited miles?
If you plan to check out all that Landingville and maybe even the rest of Pennsylvania offers, you're going to need unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Landingville. Go over the fine print to be sure they are actually "unlimited."
Tips before you leave the lot
Before you get started on your Landingville trip, check a few items before you leave the rental lot. It's worth the time to:
- Look over the car and determine if there is any damage or scratches. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
- Inspect the trunk to see if the spare is properly inflated and the jack and lung wrench are there
- Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
- Get comfortable working the navigation and entertainment. It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are navigating a new region

Legoland Florida- Possible Hotel Announcement
A possible new announcement coming later this week from Legoland Florida.
Rumor has it that Legoland Florida may finally make an announcement for their new themed hotel later on this week. This would allow multi-day visiting families to stay at the park, likely with additional perks such as early entry. If this new announcement is the hotel, it would probably open sometime between the 2014-2015 seasons.
This comes after Legoland California built a themed hotel for the 2012 season.
-More news about this story when/if the announcement takes place.

First of all: Waterlands is NOT a hotel, it is a resort with 24 seperate cottages, either at the beach or in the garden. We have spend our last three holidays there (August 2008, October 2008 and now May 2009). The cottages are beautifull, with lovely beds, great porches and a very well equipped kitchen and super fridge. If you don't want to cook, you can walk over to Plaza (back entrance is next to entrance of Waterlands) or walk through Plaza to Divi or to town.
It was only opened last August and you see the garden grow every time.
We are visiting Bonaire for several years now and Waterlands is our preferred choice. So is AB Car Rental: before we arrive on Bonaire we set a time to be picked up, the friendly staff of AB is always there early to pick us up and, sure, sometimes we have to wait at the desk for the paperwork, we are not the only ones wanting to be helped! We relax, we are on holiday, Bonaire is unhurried, that's why we like it so much.

Just arrived home after nearly 3 weeks at this resort. Read other reviews and a little apprehensive, however, we had a great time. We were able to prebook all restaurants for the first week prior to arrival, and then managed to book all the restaurants of our choice with no problems for the rest of our vacation when we checked in,In fact, we did not eat at the main buffet restaurant at all. The staff have been extremely well trained and managed. The only time that the staff service was not first class was when the restaurant managers had a night off and there was no leadership. Best restaurants, Le Chateau & Gingja.
Our main reason for this vacation was golf, and we were not disappointed, golf was included in the all inclusive package, however you had to pay for a buggy costing approx £40 but do negotiate and you will get the price down to 1,400 ruppee ( £31) if you play several rounds. No electric trolleys, just pull ones, We played one day pulling trolley and were exhausted due to the hilly areas and heat, thereafter we used a buggy thereafter. Take plenty of balls as when ball goes into the thick rough impossible to find. Pro shop very expensive. Order the curry at the golf club after a game, it is excellent, however food is only served between 12.00 and 2.30. and part of your all inclusive package is that you can only order a drink at the club house if you order food between those times. Ordering drinks at any other time you will be charged.
Our room was spotless. Cleaned late morning and then again whilst we were out at dinner, towels changed twice a day. This resort is not really for childen, mostly for couples on honeymoon, celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. If you are thinking of bringing your children to this resort, dont, it wont be fair on them or the other residents.
One improvement - at breakfast in the buffet restaurant, they have a big problem with birds jumping on the tables pecking at anything and everything and doing their business on the chairs etc, most unhealthy. Have suggested nets be put up or some resident cats would solve the problem. The same problem occurs at Zenzibar serving lunchtime bar meals.
Had realised on arrival that I had left my medication at home, was seen straight away by the hotels nurse who went out of his way to resolve problem ( and no charge for his service) cant fault it.

Bellagio Hotel, inspired by the villages of Europe, is a grand accommodation overlooking a blue lake in which fountains perform a magnificent ballet. This property is something of a landmark in itself and is located three minutes away from the O Cirque du Soleil, five minutes from the Bellagio Hotel Casino, and five minutes away from Paris Las Vegas. Facilities and services are of the highest quality and include a nightclub, 24-hour room service, facilities for disabled guests, and laundry service. A gorgeous pool provides some recreation, and so too does the steam room, fitness center, and hot tub. It is undeniable that a stay at the Bellagio Hotel would truly be the best way to experience Las Vegas.

Value for money. Great location. Good staff
Great location, but needs a few upgrades”
Great location on the strip. Needs to update charging facilities. A docking station so you only need lightning cable would have been easier in the rooms. No many accessible power points if you have short cables. Being able to access a shelf in the bar fridge would also have been helpful.
Nice hotel but not great when traveling with small children Booked 1st 2 nights of my 7 night stay in Bellagio. Switched to Vdara. Bellagio tried to charge 50$ to have a microwave in my room. Vdara had a kitchen with microwave. Will return but without the kids
Amazing hotel with excellent facilities and shops. Water fountain show is a bonus. Staff were very friendly, rooms were clean with world class casino. Thank you, we had an awesome time.
Refreshments in the mini bar in the room are mind blowing expensive! Better take your own fridge as you can't even but your own water etc in the fridge without a charge ha! Other than that the hotel is mind blowing.
Need Chairs around the common area I think you lose business from men who don't want to just stand in the hall as woman shops (as the Venetian does )I was so tired I just hurried my wife up but I know she would have spent more time had I had a place to sit down your loss. The place in 5 stars in every regard but keeps in mind smoky conditions almost daily not a place for kids or nonsmokers horrible constant smell some hotels do a better job or air recirculation not sure how but something to think of. Found other newer hotels ARIA much better om the smoke. Shops all 5 stars,restaurants the best with view , enjoyed my stay but will try another 5 star that has seats and less smoke Tom Adams Phoenix
Beautiful hotel and experience, watch out for resort fees”
The Bellagio is very central and rooms are really nice. Most customer service was really high quality. We really enjoyed our stay there until check-out when we were told we had to pay an extra $40USD per night for resort fees (use of the pool, fitness centre, Wi-Fi etc). This is mandatory for all hotels on the strip so be careful! It is not included in your booking on any website. The manager we spoke to was very rude about it and that was the only negative customer service experience we had. No one had told us anything about these fees until check out and there's no way of getting out of them- so add $40usd to the price of the room per night on any booking website and that is the real price. We loved being in Las Vegas and the bellagio was central enough for us to walk to most places. It also has one of the nicest casinos on the strip, and had an incredible Christmas display in the indoor garden area.
Average service. Good location though. ”
Doesn’t live up to its hype. Cold reception. Restaurants are expensive but food is not that good. Room facilities are not equal to a 5 star hotel. Room is far more different from picture Agoda confirmed to us on website. Only location is good.
I was excited to stay at Bellagio and it did not disappoint - I had amazing and direct view of the renowned fountains. The lady who checked me in was the sweetest and friendliest. Unfortunately, there were a few kinks that affected my experience. Firstly, I’d been to many hotels and this was the first that quoted me almost $36 when I requested for a hot water kettle. That aside, when I called to accept an offer to extend my stay, the lady who answered my call said I will have to look for the person who made that offer to me - I had to waste time queueing (again), showing email threads etc to validate the offer that was quoted to me earlier on - internal communication and guest service could be improved.
Horrific Checkin procedures”
We had a terrible experience with Bellagio. Everything else ok but checkin was a nightmare!!! After travelling for 24 hours to get there we where faced with horrendous queue at checkin. Standing in line for over 45 minutes. If the line moved it may have been ok but they had people standing in front of one receptionist for over 1/2 an hour. No one talking to the queue explaining they were short staffed it was so frustrating. Then they said they would give us $35 drinks credit which they never applied on our bill. I used express check out so couldn’t argue the point because there was no way I was going through that hell again at checkout. We noticed the checkin line seemed that long the whole time we were there. They used the excuse they were short staffed but it seems to be a permanent arrangement. Left sour taste.
Excellent Hotel and staff”
Our stay at the Bellagio was fantastic and enjoyable. Unbelievable hotel the room size and quality. The swimming pools are super huge and areas to relax and enjoy. Look forward to staying again and again.
no water or complimentary coffee inside the room,
Amazing Experience ”
Stunning Room and Bathroom- sumptuous beds. Pool a delightful 84 degrees. Great gym. Casino, Lobby and Shops a continual spectacle and the Fountains were simply beautiful. Expensive but a once in a lifetime trip
A good introduction to Las Vegas”
The bathroom could have been improved with new towels. There should be a handrail in the shower cubicle. These minor details could have made our room even better. The beds were marvellously comfortable. We were extremely satisfied with our accommodation, and the range of services available to us in the hotel was very wide. The staff were wonderful, and we never had cause for complaint. Thank you for a wonderful holiday.
No In-Room Coffee/Tea Making Facilities”
Was excited to stay at the Bellagio but this quickly turned to disappointment when I found that there was no coffee/tea making facilities, the view from the 27th floor was of the freeway and the refuse facilities and the minibar was charging $10 for a small water! The resort fee was over $44 a day for the use of internet which is the only useful item included!! I will never stay here again, not a hotel that cares for its guests, only what they can squeeze out of your wallet!
Very comfortable rooms”
Bed, bathroom and room very comfortable. Hotel was quick to respond to issues as once we came to our non smoking room in a non smoking tower it was evident the room had been smoked in. hotel well run, lots of staff and security . Common areas a little too crowded for my liking. I would stay in a calmer hotel next time where I could get to my room quickly rather then walking what felt like 1/4 of a mile to get to the elevator to take me to my room.
We visited lots of the other major hotels on the strip during our visit and realised the Bellagio was about the only one which had a lot of natural light in its public spaces which we really appreciated. Ie the Paris was amazing inside but totally artificially lit and rather dark. We had a strip view room which, although set back behind / overlooking a car park, still gave us great views of the Eiffel Tower and partial views of the fountains. We did find food and drink to be extremely expensive in the Bellagio but you can always eat elsewhere to help the budget. Self Parking was very good at Dollars 18 per day and it gave you free access to the other MGM property car parks
Good value for the money”
It was great to stay at Bellagio Hotel everything was fantastic. However, hair dryer in our room was pretty dirty. Sticky and someone's hair everywhere. Ended up getting replaced. Apart from that awesome.
It's worth the price paid
What more to ask for?”
Was top notch service when we walk into the lobby. We checked in during peak hours and thus there was a long queue. Lobby staff were helpful telling us we can do online check-in in order save time for the express queue. Room has a beautiful view overlooking LV Boulevard and Paris Paris. Room was pricy but definitely well spent for the room quality and service. If you have time, make sure you dine at Picasso which has a fantastic view of the Bellagio fountains !

We stayed here for a long weekend the views were amazing from the large balcony which looked out over the water the house was very clean with everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely be returning
We stayed here for our first family holiday since having our first baby. My mum booked it and Gary the owner was extremely helpful contacting her back and forth regarding baby items, cots highchairs etc. All were set up on arrival. Gorgeous views from balcony. Perfect location for exploring the island. Very clean and spacious apartment with parking which is great when you have kids. Will definitely return in the summer so we can enjoy that lovely balcony!! Many thanks
Fantastic holiday at waterside. Lovely spacious home from home bungalow. Spotlessly clean. Gary the owner was so helpful. First holiday for my 6 month grandson and one to remember. Highly recommend a stay here.
Lovely clean, spacious property with nice views over Wootten Creek. Nice property and there's lots to do on the Island. Nice to be able to crab off the pontoon. Wootten is a great location for coming off the ferry at Fishbourne with a good pub nearby - Fishbourne Inn - and good for exploring Osbourne House and Cowes. However for us having stayed on the island before we would stay on the South of the Island at Bembridge again in future. To be honest thought no where is far away on the Isle of Wight.
The accommodation is located in Wooton Bridge in a cul-de-sac over looking the river. All the rooms were very clean and spacious, larger than other cottages/apartments that we have rented before. The large balcony is ideal for sitting out, relaxing and watching the changing scene of the river, as long as the weather allows it. There is not much to see in Wooton Bridge itself but this cottage makes a very comfortable base from which to explore the rest of the island.
Waterside is a lovely peaceful place to stay with wonderful views along the creek.It is very spacious and caters for all needs.We hope to return.
Great property and location. Perfect for visiting sites within the Isle of White. Weather was hot and provision of fans was appreciated.

About Dudley Zoo
It was the owner of Dudley Castle, the third Earl of Dudley, who decided to convert the grounds into zoological gardens.
Berthold Lubetkin, the lead architect tasked with designing the zoo, developed a new building design using reinforced concrete called Tecton structures. There are 12 Tecton structures around the site of the zoo, all of which are Grade II listed buildings. In 2009, they received World Monuments Fund status.
Dudley Zoo opened to the public in May 1937 and is now home to more than 200 different species of animal.
About Dudley Castle
Dudley Castle began life as a motte and bailey castle, with construction completed in 1070.
In the 12th century, the Paganel family became lords of Dudley and took up residence in the castle. Ownership changed multiple times over the years and in the 17th century, under order of parliament, the keep, gatehouse and perimeter walls were decimated in order to prevent the castle being a threat.
In the mid-18th century, Dudley Castle was badly damaged in a fire that lasted 3 days. It was completely gutted and became a romantic ruin.

10 Ways To Stay Comfortable On Your Flight
So you’ve got your trip planned and your flight booked. Even if your flight is just a short jaunt, one thing that always seems to go unnoticed until you’re in your seat is your comfort. Believe it or not, keeping comfortable and relaxed on your flight can boost your overall attitude about flying.
To keep your flight an enjoyable one, planning ahead and knowing what to bring can make all the difference when it comes to your travel experience.
If you’re not sure where to start, here are a few helpful tips to get you off the ground.
Wear comfy clothes
Obvious, we know – but if you want to stay comfortable on your flight, wearing clothing that is breathable and soft (and we’re not suggesting pajamas) will help you sit for a long period of time. Loose fitting attire, cotton shirts, comfy jeans, flats or running shoes are the ideal attire for keeping comfortable.
Bringing extra cozy socks, an extra sweater or your own travelling blanket can help keep you comfortable if the cabin gets cold.
Block out the noise
Fussy babies, loud snack munchers and distracting conversations can happen. To block it out, bring your headphones. Whether you choose to listen to soothing music, a movie or a podcast, headphones will help make your journey less distracting. (Please keep in mind that headphones cannot be used during take-off or landing).
Regardless of how short or long your flight is, it’s important to keep yourself hydrated. Avoid beverages that will make you dehydrated, such as alcohol and coffee. If you do decide to enjoy one of these beverages, always request some water along with these selections.
Keep your skin hydrated
Important as it is to keep your body hydrated, it is essential to keep your skin hydrated. The air quality in the cabin can be dryer, so apply cream to your face, lips and hands when needed (side note: make sure your cream is carry-on friendly, learn more about your liquid allowance)
Air time = me time
Whether your flight is 3 hours long or a quick 45 minutes, plan the time you have in the air wisely. If you want to catch up on a book you’ve neglected, watch a movie you’ve downloaded, or catch up on some much-needed rest – that time is all yours, so take advantage of it.
Pick your seat
When checking in for your flight, choose the area and seat you’d like to sit in. Whether you prefer a window seat to rest your head against or the aisle to occasionally stretch, choose your seat in advance to get the spot you want.
Keep yourself entertained
Depending on the duration of your flight, having a few things to occupy your time will literally make time fly by. Choose to bring your favourite snacks, catch up on your journal, watch that movie you’ve downloaded, or all of the above!
Don’t forget to stretch
Because of the pressure in the cabin, it’s best to stretch your legs from time to time to keep that blood circulating. If you choose an aisle seat, you can stretch one leg at a time then pivot your feet in small circles. Of course, check to see if anyone is walking through so you don’t trip or hit anyone in the aisle.
Fly with the right frame of mind
Getting into the right mindset before your trip begins will give you a much-improved travel experience. Planning the time you need to arrive at the airport and knowing your itinerary will help keep you focused, prepared, and organized.
These tips are meant to help improve your overall experience when flying. We’d like to hear from you. How do you stay comfortable on flights?
