My vacation was excellent. However the condo was not very clean. The bathrooms needed to be scrubbed, especially the bath tubs. The floors were swept but not mopped. The living room furniture was old and needs to be updated. Other than that, the condo is a nice size and in a wonderful location.

Left on 08/15/2012 for a stay in August 2012 |
We arrived way earlier than planned. We allowed extra time for any travel emergencies. I called the management company and they said they would let us know when the condo was cleaned. They never called to let us know. We actually "camped" out in front of the condo until it was cleaned. The cleaning crew came at 2:30 and did not get through until a little after 4:00! The condo was not spotless....one of the bedrooms had a diaper (not used) behind the dresser and not sure if they vacuumed. Another couple traveling with us stayed in Pelican Beach Resort and was able to get right into their room when they arrived early.

Turtle Bay Resort | 57-091 Kamehameha Hwy, Kahuku, HI | ★★★★ | $$$$
Turtle Bay Resort is the major resort on Oahu’s North Shore. The resort sits on one of the world’s most scenic peninsulas and boasts beautiful guest rooms, suites, villas, and beach cottages, and a host of outdoor activities – all on its 850 acres of land. It’s also where one of my favourite comedies, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, was filmed. I had visited once with my family (no overnight stay) when I was much younger, so I knew I had to take the chance to come back and fully experience the luxury resort.
Our room was spectacular. We were on the 5th floor, outfitted with a king bed, a very spacious room, and a balcony looking out onto the resort’s marvellous pools and a breathtaking view of the ocean. I’ve also always loved the design and colour scheme of Turtle Bay, especially with its signature turquoise blue. It just exudes a “you’re in Hawaii, it’s time to relax!” quality.
The room was very clean and comfortable, and we especially liked the double-vanity set-up. For two girls who take a long time to get ready in the morning and at night, having a split bathroom and two sinks is heavenly!
The balcony was also very clean with two lounge chairs so that we could both sit and enjoy the serene view.
A perfect view.
The hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. We were even offered a complimentary suite on our check out day to take a quick shower and freshen up after spending a day on the beach and by the pools.
The outdoor amenities sort of speak for themselves, and we didn’t even get to experience 99% of the offerings. I’m a total pool & beach girl, but Turtle Bay also offers golf, surfing lessons, kayaking, horseback riding, hiking trails, and even helicopter tours (what?!).
If you’re like me, though, even just staying by the pools and hot tub can keep you happy all day. The Point will keep you hydrated and fed as you relax. The Strawberry Basil-ade is a must-try.
Turtle Bay is also unique in the sense that you’ll be greeted by completely different vistas every few steps along the edge of the property, but all come with thrilling views of the stunning ocean and crashing waves.
We split our time between the pool side and the beach, but I could have spent days on either side.
Comfortable loungers are set up all across the beach with staff very kindly helping you find the best spot to settle in. There’s also a bar to enjoy a refreshing cocktail and a food truck. There’s nothing like enjoying an acai bowl on the beach. Nothing.
Because we stayed for a fairly short time, we only had the chance to try Kula Grille for both breakfast and dinner. The tall windows let in an ample amount of natural light, giving the restaurant an airy, Hawaiian feel during the day. There is also an outdoor patio to sit on and enjoy the morning sun or the warm evening air.
The food was good and decently priced – easily the best option for cost and quality for your casual meals throughout the day.
For breakfast, I had the taro pancakes – so good. I tried them with the liliko’i butter, which I’m not as big fan of, but liliko’i (passion fruit) is big in Hawaii, so definitely worth a try!
Along with our burgers for dinner, we had the classic ahi poke and lobster crab cakes. Super yummy.
Rating: 4.5 hearts out of 5
Turtle Bay Resort is sort of like the apex of Oahu vacationing. Honolulu may be the main tourist hotspot (and certainly the busiest, especially if you’re looking to party), but the North Shore is where you want to go for rest and relaxation and a spot to take in some of the best views on the island. It’s no wonder it’s a big hit for couples and honeymooners.

There’s a romantic appeal to tiny homes – a movement that’s been slowly infiltrating the property market for the last few decades. The concept is simple: they are houses with all the mod-cons and little luxuries you’d expect to have in a home – like a bedroom, bathroom, a kitchen with white goods – but they’re small. Really small.
Generally, tiny houses are no bigger than 37 square metres (400 square feet) and are often built on wheels, making them portable between sites that have the right infrastructure (mains electricity and water). And while the movement has been gaining popularity among people from all walks of life – city slickers who want to scale down their lives, or young professionals who can’t afford traditional property – it’s also seeing a rise in the tourism industry too.
A Singapore-based company has become one of the first major pioneers of the concept. Big Tiny designs and builds tiny homes and offers them for free to landowners across Australia as a way to help them generate income on otherwise dormant space. “We hand-craft and design all our beautiful, eco-friendly tiny houses and we put them in places like animal farms or vineyards. Places where there’s sensational scenery,” explains founder Jeff Yeo.
The idea, he says, is to ‘find that perfect spot’ – that’s the company’s tagline – and help city people escape to the countryside while still having access to the creature comforts they’re used to back home. Their model works, he claims, because it costs the landowners nothing, except to set up the infrastructure for hosting the tiny house. To date, they have deployed 28 tiny houses across rural locations in New South Wales and Victoria, in Australia, and have recently launched their own 30-unit, eco-friendly resort in the Great Ocean region.
What’s the sell for tourists?
There’s an obvious novelty around staying in a house that’s significantly smaller than a traditional home. There’s the thrill of figuring out how all the cleverly-designed furniture fits together and works in such a tiny space, and the joy of staying somewhere remote. But the appeal is more than that, says Pam Westra, owner of Tiny Digs Hotel in Portland, USA.
“Experiential stays are the fastest-growing segment of the travel industry right now. Our guests come to stay with us because they want a different experience.”
Tiny Digs is a complex of eight tiny houses – plus their tiny office – each one unique with its own theme (think mini Victorian cottage or classic log cabin), and it has been a hit since they opened.
“We do virtually no marketing,” Westra told Click. They’ve had big-name media brands, such as National Geographic, and high-profile vloggers come to cover their hotel, and bookings have been healthy ever since. “We have above average occupancy: national averages for occupancy are 66% on a year-round basis, and ours is typically around 80%.”
Expansion is on the cards for Tiny Digs Hotel, as they have planning permission to host 13 tiny homes on their property. Westra explains that this sort of business is brilliant for independent entrepreneurs – you can start small and increase your capacity as revenue increases too. “It's a very viable business,” she says.
There’s also the environmental impact to consider. Living in a tiny home can also reduce your impact drastically – this research shows that an average home will create 12,700 kilograms of carbon emissions, whereas a tiny home creates just 907 kilograms. And with sustainability now being a driving factor for many guests, tiny homes as a place to stay deliver high on the scale.
Who is booking into these tiny homes?
Tiny homes, it seems, are popular with the locals. “Quite a huge percentage of our guests are actually local Australians,” explains Yeo. “It’s really about them wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life.” He says they’re generally in their thirties and forties and tend to be leisure travellers looking for the perfect escape.
The profile is slightly different at Tiny Digs – with several colleges nearby, Westra says they get lots of students’ parents staying while visiting their kids.
In Bristol, England, one property sees lots of repeat business thanks to their unique offering: Brooks Guesthouse is a city-centre hotel with four Airstream caravans on its rooftop. They are not strictly tiny homes, but the Airstreams offer a similar concept – smaller living, and plenty of novelty.
“They’re by far the most popular rooms in the hotel, booking up at least 30% faster than other bedrooms, and encouraging guests in normal rooms to come back for the unusual experience,” says General Manager Dominic Angerman. They can also be sold at a premium – the hotel charge around 25% on top of the normal room rate for the privilege of sleeping in an Airstream.
Brooks’ use of the Airstreams is clever – they’ve increased capacity and revenue without having to invest in building new areas of the hotel, and now have a USP in a highly competitive city. So whether you’re an entrepreneurial landowner or a hotel with enough ‘dead’ space, it’s clear that investing in a tiny home or some sort of alternative accommodation can bolster business in a big way.
- The tiny homes movement has been slowly growing as an alternative to traditional property ownership, but it’s also got a place in tourism
- Tiny homes as tourist accommodation goes well beyond novelty – they are often an eco-friendly place to stay, fitting in with the trend of better sustainability and environmental responsibility
- Whether a tiny home or another alternative accommodation option, this kind of offering can increase revenue and gives your property a USP

by bikashsamanta on November 2, 2018
Room was clean and well-furnished. Staff also good. Only problem is a little far from the beach. Restaurant is good but very limited food items and quality has scope of improvement. Local sightseeing arrangment done by the hotel with reasonable price.
by travel2011Kolkata on October 23, 2018

It is one of the best hotel in Chandipur Beach. Tariff is reasonable but excellent offering - well furnished spacious rooms, bed tea, complimentary breakfast, ever co-operative staff. It has got a best restaurant I have ever come across.Food quality very good n tasty.
by DEBALINAG10 on June 24, 2018
My family & I had a great stay at Arpita. It is two mins walking distance from the resort. The food was delicious and hospitality was great. Employees are very friendly. The best part is it's a pet friendly place. I would definitely recommend this resort.
by Jishnudeb on May 28, 2018
The hotel is very neat and clean, with the toilets being exceptionally clean. They have inside car parking with 24 hr security, good food and good beds. Only issue is no lift. Otherwise it is the best hotel in Chandipur. Sea is not visible from there. 300 metres walk will take you to the sea.

Choosing the best hotel can enhance your vacation needs. A place that is very pricy can drain your finances and leave you with very little money to enjoy other things in the area. Read on to find out how you can locate affordable, high quality hotels.
Prior to beginning a hotel search, try thinking about what accommodations you want and can afford.

Keep your electronics secure by using the hotel safe located in your hotel room. Valuables can be placed there with confidence, allowing you to enjoy your day without worries.
If you are out of the room for any length of time, protect the valuables you leave …

Worst experience ”
No network inside ..rooms are very far from reception .it takes hrs to get any one for service .rooms ac not working ..we changed 3 times the rooms and at last it worked ..water park for kids is closed which they haven't updated in agoda. Moreover when I call agoda there was no help from them too for cancellation .

They charge for all amenities- jacuzzi, cycle. Amenities not working were - Gym, kids pool, library”
Not worth the price being paid
Great location and property”
Location is amazing. They have private beach which is maintained very well. Clean and tidy. Food is okay. Service is a bit slow.
Ambience was good. So was the location. But, food quality needs improvement.
Best property in Ganapatipule !!”
We booked this resort on recommendation from family friends. It was totally worth for money. Resort is exactly similar to pics available on website. Its a huge property. Their private beach, beach side garden,huts and Tide restaurant is amazing. Well maintained neat and clean Rooms. Helpful and very humble staff.
A Big NO”
A big NO to visit this property.. Their staff & service in property is pathetic.. Room AC do not work..imagine in hot summer room AC was not working..changed rooms 2 times & the issue was unresolved.. 2 out of 3 Battery Club car for internal movement were also not working.. at night 10 30pm we had to walk from parking to room as club car was broken down.. Kids pool was in pathetic condition & was also chargeable which was new for us.. In All pls don't waste hard earned money in this property..
Excellent location & property, but poor hospitality and unprofessional staff.”
I stayed in this resort for 2 days in March end. But I had worst experience from staff. First day evening I called restaurant to get ice for drink. He said we don't have ice, machine not working. I talked to reception desk, Even I talk with resort manager about this issue. I surprised that such big five star resort don't have ice for their guest even 1 star hotel also available ice all the time. I arrange by myself from another restaurant which is on beach side belong to the same resort. The resort manager didn't arrange ice from there, So here I experienced worst hospitality. While check out Resort staff picked our 3 baggage from room, but dropped only 2 baggage's to my car. I don't know what his intention was. After few hours we got call from resort for my bag. But we reached our destination. They didn't call immediately after leaving resort, I talk with RM to arrange my baggage through courier to my resident in Mumbai. But he refused, I cant recommend to friends & family.
Blue Ocean Resort has been built beautifully keeping in mind all age of customer that visit them.”
Property is beautifully located and well maintained. There is something for every age of person. Their staff is very helpful and knowledgable about local places. Only drawback is there restaurants as they don’t have local menu.
Excellent Staty, very nice property and staff”
Excellent property, very good staff and service, would return again
Good location near the clean beach ”
Pros : Well maintained beautiful Resort Cons : Food service was poor breakfast would never be laid, had to ask the staff to refill every item on the menu including sugar sachets. Aa la carte menu and drink used to arrive an hour late after the order was taken.. the catering services needs to be managed properly.
Fantastic Location - away from the maddening crowd”
The location of Blue Ocean Resort was absolutely stunning. With a small wooded hill as the backdrop and the ocean across the street (the resort had direct access to one of the best white sand beaches that I had visited in India and a few outside of India too) - the location was absolutely perfect. The property had villas and hotel style rooms (we had the rooms as the villas were sold out). The property was well maintained - with beautiful landscaping. The rooms were adequate and functional. The food in the property was not great - breakfast was ok and we stepped out for lunch. But the dinner was below average. The service was average - we did not get WIFI access for the entire 3 days(although the property claimed it was a BSNL issue and not theirs). Whatever. In fact, this was good that we got cut off from the real world. But this drove our kids crazy! We would rate Blue ocean resort at best a 4 star and was quite expensive. Overall we had a very relaxing time.
NOT WORTH THE PRICE., PRICE for viewing the property not for facilities.”
Food extremely expensive . NO GOOD MENU ... Only Bog property .NO WIFI ., BASIC FACILITIES LIKE TOILETARIES & DOOR MATES , Mirror in room ETC NOT PROVIDED. . Dirty Used hand towels were sent. .
No wifi, no network, rooms close to servant quarters where loud music and love tv volume and loud talk u hear in the room all day and night. Rooms too far from lobby. No buggy ride. Will have to walk uphill. Very tiring. Not for family or holidays.
Excellent Property but Poor Management System and Staff”
The property is amazing and mesmerising. Got private beach view, arranged in pleasant way. What we did not like is Food Quality and Management where I will give negative points if possible. As property is Big they should plan for some inside travel electric cars for the elders and toddlers. Staff need to be trained and planning is bad when we refer to Food. All like to have amazing property which they have but really lack in the food.
Great property and location , need professional management and more staff to handle ”
They lack staff but whatever they have are really good people .. just need training .
Nice cosy place ”
Resort is very well maintained, polite courteous staff. Quiet calm place for a getaway. Food quality should be improved.
Very happy with the hotel and the housekeeping staff. The reception staff charged us for older child (above 12 years) without providing any additional facility.
Excellent location good staff good service”
Quality of food can be improved a little bit
Best property in Ratnagiri ”
Atleast stay for 4 days to enjoy this place.

DirectionsShow MapHide Map
If you are coming by train, and if you are (and most likely you are) arriving at Varanasi Junction Railway Station:
Get off the train. Come out of the railway station. Go right on the street (this street which will look like a crowded city street is actually the national highway stretch that crosses Varanasi). Then exit the highway to go into the city on the left and ask someone the way to the Mahatma Gandhi Kashi Vidyapeeth University (or just Vidyapeeth University). Hereon you have to keep going straight. When you reach gate no. 2 of the uni on your LHS, you will find an alley on your RHS. Get in there and ask someone for me! I\'m about 100m into the alley on the left.
International Travellers\' Hostel is like 5-7 minutes walking distance and 2 minutes drive away from Varanasi Junction Railway Station.
If you're flying into Varanasi:
Well, get out of the airport, and get a taxi to the above directed uni gate.
We are located just 5-7 minutes walking distance from Varanasi Junction Railway Station (city's main train station), 22 km from the airport, and 3.4 km from riverside. Most attractions in the city are within a radius of 5 km.
Rickshaws and auto-rickshaws (tuk-tuks) easily available out on the street.

Not a bargan
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was dated; downstairs rooms were musty; and railings on decks are rotting. The TV set is confusing and lacked written instructions. The price of this rental is high compared to other, cleaner, and closer to town seasonal rentals. The rooms were is good order and clean (mustiness aside). The kitchen was accommodated well. Nice view.
As close to Cannon Mountain as you can get, with room for the whole family

Located close to Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and Hickam offer an introduction to both Hawaii’s history and its natural beauty. The two were joined in 2010 when the United States military decided to create the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. By staying here, you can get a sense of Hawaii’s proud history and importance to the US military while also experiencing its beautiful beaches and thrilling water sports.
Places to Stay in Hickam & Pearl Harbor
The first order of business on any trip is to find a convenient, comfortable lodging place for you, your family, and your friends. If you’re not stationed and residing on base, Hickam and Pearl Harbor both offer a number of options, including
Hotels– There are a number of hotels in and around Pearl Harbor and Hickam. These include the Navy Gateway Inns & Suites and the Royal Alaka’i Inn. These hotels offer everything from free WiFi to wake up calls to disability accommodations to bowling, all while giving you easy access to some of the area’s most stunning attractions.
AirBNB– Local residents are happy to offer up their rooms and even entire houses, at prices ranging from $65 to $900. Whatever your lodging desires and budget, you should be able to find a place in Hickam or Pearl Harbor.
Vacation Rentals– Pearl Harbor’s offers some of the most spacious rental options in Hawaii, with houses and condos holding up to 12 people. Prices range anywhere from $100 per night to more than $600, depending on the size and location of the property.
With a place to stay in Hickam or Pearl Harbor, you’ll be able to explore not only those towns, but the entire Honolulu area. This makes it easy to experience all the cultural wonders of Hawaii’s largest metropolis, as well as its beautiful parks and nearby beaches.
Hickam & Pearl Harbor Activities
Given the towns’ historical importance to the United States, visitors to Hickam and Pearl Harbor are often drawn to historic monuments. Chief among these is the USS Missouri, the ship where the Japanese Empire officially surrendered to the United States government at the end of World War II. The Missouri is now a museum ship, meaning you can climb aboard, learn about its history, and even take photos. By taking advantage of these and other historic sites in Pearl Harbor, you can feel a closer connection to some of the most important events in American history.
As much as Pearl Harbor and Hickam value history, they don’t let remembering the past distract you from having a good time in the present. Given the area’s location near Hawaii’s most beautiful beaches, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to lie on the sand, go for a swim, or participate in more thrilling or competitive water activities. These include surfing and parasailing, as well as paddle surfing, which involves standing upright on your board and rowing from that position. You can also go snorkeling, which gives you a chance to see fish, turtles, dolphins, and other underwater life.
In addition to these fun and relaxing water sports, you’ll have a chance to participate in something more challenging: Hawaii sport fishing. Whipsaw Sportfishing organizes fishing charters, where you can catch tuna, Mahi Mahi, marlin, swordfish, and other large and powerful fish during your stay in Hickam or Pearl Harbor. These fish will give you a huge fight, forcing you to use all your strength to reel them in, but we’ll keep you safe the whole time. In this way, you can push your body to its highest level of performance while catching beautiful and delicious game for your trophy case or dinner table.

This was our second visit to Villa Matina which was just as wonderful as the first. We didn’t want to leave and will certainly be returning.
This beautifully modern villa is exceptional. We were a party of 3 so enjoyed lots of extra space as the villa would comfortably accommodate 6 people. The garden surrounded by a high fence & electric gate is wonderful with a double barbecue facility and dining area. Also there is plenty of garden furniture such as sun beds & comfy chairs to lounge about on after a dip in the pool. We even picked herbs for the barbecue which are grown at the back of the property. CCTV & an alarm are present for security. Inside is lovely too. Decorated to a high standard with ambient lighting, good kitchen and lounge area and nice comfortable beds. The location is perfect within 5 minutes walk to the beach and shops nearby but on the border of Laganas & Agios Sostis so nice & quiet. The owners were very welcoming friendly and helpful and available 24hrs if needed. I would definitely recommend this villa and can't wait to go back.
This beautiful villa is very new so is absolutely immaculate whilst managing to remain child friendly at the same time. We travelled as a family of three and couldn't have asked for more. The villa is well equipped with great air con. In some respects it's like a boutique hotel, with lovely bed linen, fluffy towels, pool towels and toiletries. They offered to clean everyday but we only needed it once during our week stay. Not only was the accommodation superb but our host and the owner of the property was exceptional. He was attentive and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. This ensured that we got the perfect balance of relaxation whilst exploring the stunning island. I cannot recommend this villa highly enough on such a beautiful and wonderful island. Not far from the airport and would definitely stay again.
Stayed at the villa for a week at the beginning of September, 5 adults.
What a lovely villa, nice a private with a pool and BBQ area. Nice and spacious inside and outside, just right for 5 people would start to be a bit cosy with any more people. The villa was nice and modern and very clean! The privacy of the villa because of its location was lovely, there was nobody around which was great! The only company was the stray dogs but they can't get in and you are able to see them all over the town. The villa was very safe and secure with high fences and electronic driveway gates, metal shutters on every window and cctv covering all of the premises making you feel very safe and secure as well as a alarm system. The ice cold air con in every room is a life saver when it's very hot and is easily adjusted. The Villa is again very modern and well decorated with funky blue LED lights in the bathroom and kitchen as well as normal lights if you don't want the blue ones on. The pool is deep but is quite small, there is enough room to bob around and mess around but not enough to swim, there's is loads of room in the garden but the pool would not cater for more than 5 people. There was a tree located next to the pool which dropped directly in so some days you would have to clean the pool a couple of times, as well as the flowers around the edge which look nice but not practice for a pool area. In the evening it was lovely and quite and could not hear the noise from the strip.
It's was a nice short walk to the beach and to the strip should you want to go there, we got a quad bike which meant you could explore more of the island although probably would have worked out cheaper if we hired a car. The owners are very friendly and helpful and took us to the airport for our return flight. I would recommend this villa and would stay here again!
Everything about this villa is 100%, private, quite and everything you might need such as beach, shops, restaurants etc, just two minutes walk away. The owners are great people and could not be more helpful. The villa is very spacious inside and outside. The ambiance created with the lighting and garden for dining outside at night is incredible. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday here and will deffinately be back.

New Hyde Park through Huntington
The electric portion of the Port Jefferson Branch is one of the busiest and most crowded parts of our network. With the completion of the Main Line Third Track, we can run more trains all day, every day.

Riders at Mineola and Hicksville will have additional service from Oyster Bay (Mineola only), Ronkonkoma, and Montauk Branch trains. Combined, each station will see approximately 30 trains each way, 40-50% more than today.

skiklosters.com Winter & Summer Self Catering Apartment
Chesa Flurina continuing into its 14th season is a large comfortable chalet nestling in the beautiful Prättigau valley in the ski area of Klosters-Davos. It was designed and built in 2004 by a local architect in the typical Grisons style of the region. Using local wood and stone and utilising natural heat drawn deep from within the mountainside, this Swiss chalet blends modern facilities with traditional style.
The chalet is situated in the satellite village of Serneus just outside Klosters and is at the end of a wonderful ski run through woods across pastures and down a farm track into the village itself. Serneus has many old traditional buildings including the pretty church dating back 500 years. There is a small supermarket and the renowned Gotschna restaurant. In winter stop there for a well-earned drink before heading back to the chalet for homemade cakes.
The chalet is south facing and looks directly to the top of the main Gotschna cable car. On sunny days enjoy the large terrace with its stunning views of the mountains. Inside on those cold winter evenings, relax by the open log fire before dinner. Scroll down to see where we fit into the ski circuit.
The large sitting room has comfortable seating around an open log fire and gives direct access to the south facing sun balcony. Next door watch a film on a big screen in the media/cinema room.
The dining room has views to the mountains through its many windows including a special Erker window typical of this chalet style. The large solid oak dining table seats ten in comfort.
The chalet has four double guest bedrooms two of which have ensuite facilities. The other two smaller bedrooms share a luxury main bathroom set between them. All guest bedrooms are on the upper floor of the chalet. Beds can be arranged as doubles or twins as requested.
Extra beds: the larger two bedrooms will allow an extra bed in each giving a maximum occupancy of ten guests.
