Title: Sea Princess Beach Resort; City: Port Blair South Andaman Island Andaman and Nicobar Islands; Review: Resort is situated quiet far from Port Blair but location is great as this is a beach resort and has peaceful surrounding. I stayed in cottage and experience was great. Staff is very friendly and always greet with smile. Resort has good restaurant and food is tasty with variety of options. I had great time here and highly satisfied with services of resort. Only drawback is that it won't have intercom facility so for everything one needs to walk to reception.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Silver Sand Beach Resort; City: Havelock Island Andaman and Nicobar Islands; Review: I have been to Havelock in December 2013 for honeymoon and stayed in SilverSand. It was great experience. Hotel location is awesome with private beach and serene view. One feels like they are close to nature. I stayed in beach view cottage and its excellent except that they won't have intercom. So for anything you need to walk to reception but its also gives feeling of far away from technology and close to nature. Restaurant serves great food. We love the food. Staff was good and always greet with smile. They were available whenever I asked for. As its beach property with east facing, one can also see sun rise and have morning walk on beach or late night beach walk with their loved ones as its quiet romantic. Finally, I can say I enjoyed the stay there and had good memories.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: RNS Residency; City: Murdeshwar Uttar Kannada District Karnataka; Review: This is an average hotel with nice location. View from room is awesome as it is facing to Arbian sea. Rooms are good and clean. Hotel also has swimming pool which is clean and maintained. Food served in restaurant is also good with quiet options. They only serves vegetarian food as hotel is in temple compound. They have quiet a space for walk in hotel campus itself. A good hotel with plus point for location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Stay Matthuga; City: Talavata Shimoga District Karnataka; Review: Its been nice place to stay which is close to jog falls. It has been surrounded by farms and jungle so one can enjoy scenic beauty. Walking to near by fields provide soothing feeling. Cottage is quite spacious and well maintained but you can find insects as it is close to jungle surrounding. Food is not good and options too are very limited. They also won't have TV which is good thing so that one can enjoy time with friends and closed ones. You need to go to reception as there is no intercom facility. Overall stay is average.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Blue Ginger Spa Resorts Wayanad; City: Vythiri Wayanad District Kerala; Review: This resort is located at hill surrounded by nature. One will enjoy their stay at this place in Wayanad. They have all facilities like spa, gym, pool, indoor games, etc. Rooms are clean and good. Food is good but there are less sweet dish options. One thing which I like most is that this hotel has waterfall in their compound itself. Last but not the least for adventurers, they can try trek along waterfall. It is quiet good trek. Experience nature in God's own country!!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hillview Munnar; City: Munnar Idukki District Kerala; Review: Its one of old hotel in Munnar. From outside, one won't like much but from inside, it looks good and maintained nicely. Rooms are clean and neat but quiet small. Services are good and room service is also good. Restaurant in hotel is also good and serves good food.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bison Inn; City: Coonoor The Nilgiris District Tamil Nadu; Review: I visited Coonor and Ooty last weekend and its being great break. I stayed in Bison Inn in Coonor and it has been located in quite remote place. This has been situated in hills which provides best views from room. Rooms are clean and spacious. There is no proper restaurant here and only cooked by care taker with fixed menu. One needs to eat here as there are no restaurants near by. Food is good. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Love the place for its location and view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: OYO 1353 The Surya Village; City: Ooty Udhagamandalam The Nilgiris District Tamil Nadu; Review: This place in Ooty is good and okay. Location of hotel isn't that great. Rooms are clean but not much spacious. This place has restaurant also but its not that good. Food is okay and service in restaurant is quite slow. I had waited for almost an hour to get food. Overall its an average place to stay in Ooty and not that great. And price what they charged is quite high as compare to service.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Namaste Sanjeevini; City: Gokarna Dakshina Kannada District Karnataka; Review: I went to Gokarna on Second week of December, 2017. After getting recommendation from friend's for this place to stay, we finalized to stay at this place. This place has different types of rooms including beach view rooms. I booked beach view rooms and it provides good view to beach but other rooms can also be considered as this property is surrounded by lot of trees and plants. This property is quiet big and greenery adds plus to this property. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Staff is courteous and try to help at its best. This property also has restaurant known as "Cafe 1987". This cafe is completely vegetarian and serves South Indian, North Indian, Italian, Chinese and some other cuisine. Restaurant service is prompt and food is good but not great. On our first day, they provided pathetic service during lunch and it pissed us off. We had a discussion with manager and he assured us this won't be going to happen. And then things were great. This place also has yoga session and one can attend by paying additional charges. Kudlu beach is just 300 meters away from this place downhill. Overall experience was great and kudos to staff members. Special thanks to Mr Kamal Dasgupta (manager) who responded to our concerns and make sure our stay experience was great. Last thing for which I would like to thanks staff was for arranging little bornfire party for our little one who turned 1st. Their arrangement was great and I was surprised by their arrangement.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Ferringhi Inn Cafe; City: Batu Ferringhi Penang Island Penang; Review: My wife and I ate at the café part of this establishment which has both an Indian and Italian menu. Starters was Garlic Bread which came about 30 seconds before the main course and was slices of bread covered in garlic salt and lightly toasted - something to avoid. Main course was from the Italian menu and consisted of Spaghetti Marinara and for my wife Penne Chicken. Both dishes were eatable if not outstanding, service was average and nothing to "write home about". The location gave a view of the local food stalls and was pleasant enough and the café was reasonably busy. In summary not bad but not good and not somewhere we will be revisiting.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Insight Resort; City: Ahangama Galle District Southern Province; Review: This hotel has stunning views of the Indian Ocean and is directly located on a nice stretch of sandy beach. the Hotel has a swimming pool - again close to the beach and some spectacular views of breaking waves. Meals taken at the hotel restaurant were good with a fair choice from a fairly extensive buffet. Staff both cheerful and helpful make this a nice place to stay, the only down side is there is no lift and if you are located on one of the top floors you have to trade stairs for view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Sorowwa Resort Spa; City: Habarana North Central Province; Review: The entrance to this hotel is through a very basic, rough track but when you arrive it is ideally located for its views of the lake and people taking elephant rides. There is also a touch of local colour in that the lake/stream immediately in front of the balconies is used by the locals for washing and laundry. The rooms are good with balcony views across the lake and to the distant mountains. The staff are well rehearsed in their duties' and are always cheerful and smiling. We had an early start to see the elephants on safari and were provided with excellent packed breakfast boxes far more than we were expecting. The buffet dinner was very good with plenty of choice. Downside is wifi is only available in the lounge area - however if you are in one of the lower floors near the reception you can pick up a signal.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Oak Ray Serene Garden Hotel; City: Kandy Kandy District Central Province; Review: A fairly basic 3 star lodging - rooms are reasonable size and beds not too bad. An extra towel would have been very much appreciated - 1 for both hand and bath not really sufficient. Breakfast was good with a great choice and the waiters both at breakfast and dinner were very attentive and well drilled in their art.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Stafford M6 J14 Tillington Hall Hotel; City: Stafford Staffordshire England; Review: Attended a function at this establishment and whilst the location and ambience was good the food served was terrible! The starter consisted of a mushroom covered with melted cheese which not only looked unappetizing but was! The main course of beef (it really looked like beef stew) what was supposed to pass for mashed potatoes which were lumpy and under cooked maintained the low standard of the starter. The desert was just as poor. There really was nothing good about the whole experience.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Sudu Araliya; City: Polonnaruwa North Central Province; Review: This hotel is large by Sri Lankan standards and the ground floor is definitely the show piece with a view of the lake and a large open dining room leading to the bar and swimming pool. The other floor have long and twisting corridors which can be a little confusing at first. The staff were attentive but they do operate on "Srilankan" time so if you are in a hurry think ahead as sometimes waiting for a bill and then waiting for the payment to be processed can take some time.The Hotel uses the Dialog wifi and guests are given a wi fi card with log on details etc - we found the wifi slow and not user friendly - I reverted to using the mobile network direct.The rooms are well presented although only 1 pillow and 1 towel per guest as standard. In hot weather the A/C struggles to keep the temperature down especially as when you leave the room the power appliances switch off so on return the rooms can be hot. Finally take the warning of monkeys seriously - they are more than just inquisitive and given half a chance - or open window - they will steal anything they can carry.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Silan Mo; City: Mirissa Southern Province; Review: Yes the location of this hotel is good in respect to the sea and the beach. However the rooms are more than showing the signs of age with terrible wifi connections and in the case of our bathroom a very very dodgy electrical socket with a hair dryer "hard wired" behind a cracked socket - did not dare use! Line 1 of the hotel instruction leaflet stated to dial 0 for assistance - the room did not have a telephone! one of my family members got an electric shock from switching on the bedside light! Not somewhere to go back to.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Mount Breeze and Restaurant; City: Dehiwala Mount Lavinia Western Province; Review: We ate at this restaurant which is ideally located right on the beach with tables that give you a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean and is great in the early evening. I am afraid to say the compliments stop there! We were a part of 4 and having ordered our starters and main course we waited and waited. the first of the starters to arrive Spring Chicken rolls were not bad but were just warm. These had long since been eaten before the next starter arrived - Prawn Fritters - we had ordered 2 but only 1 arrived - at least they were hot. half way through eating them the second plate of Prawn Fritters arrived - they were hot and not too bad taste. Then we waited some more and lo and behold 2 of the main dishes arrived!!! still waiting for the 4th starter! These 2 main dishes were consumed before any more arrivals. After having a "word" to the management and the waiter the 4th starter arrived - we sent it back as the other 2 main dishes were imminent (we hoped) They did eventually arrive long after the first 2 mains were but a distant memory!!! All in all this was NOT a good experience nor was it value for money. There is no chance of us returning to this place I only hope that by pointing out to the management their abysmal service they will not put future diners through what we experienced. By The way the restaurant was NOT busy - only another 3 tables were occupied when we called.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Oga Reach; City: Tissamaharama Southern Province; Review: Don't be put off by the approach to this hotel - like many in Sri Lanka it is hidden behind some fairly basic homesteads and a road which is more of a track. The hotel itself is fairly modern and sits by a lake beyond which are mountains and hills and views that take your breath away. rooms are well laid out with all of the normal facilities and the staff are both welcoming and helpful. meals are buffet style but with a fair choice both at dinner and breakfast. The hotel does have a swimming pool although time prevented us using it on this trip. There is always something going on in the lake be fishing boats, wild life or just the ever changing colours of the lake and water lillies.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Centauria Wild; City: Udawalawa Sabaragamuwa Province; Review: We stayed at this hotel for 1 night so as to cover our safari to the nearby national park. the hotel is excellently located and the facilities are first class. The room we had overlooked the nearby lake and countryside and had a balcony view. The restaurant we only used for dinner and breakfast but meal choice (buffet) was good and tasty. The staff were attentive and helpful with more senior staff overseeing the operation. The bedrooms were well laid out with plenty of space and storage as well as comfortable. All in all a great hotel to stay at.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ella Gap Hotel; City: Ella Uva Province; Review: We stayed here because location wise it is well placed for visits to the main Ella thoroughfare with its range of cafe's bars and restaurants as well as local sites such as the mini Adams Peak and the nine arch bridge. The hotel provides all the facilities you need for a short stay - the rooms are well appointed and the restaurant serves a variety of dishes buffet style. Getting to the restaurant from the hotel is a little bit of a challenge and one has to leave the hotel main entrance and enter the restaurant from the road - we did look for another way but failed to find it! The staff are very accommodating and helpful and in particular the restaurant staff are attentive to your needs. A good place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ceylon City Hotel Mt Lavinia; City: Dehiwala Mount Lavinia Western Province; Review: When assessing a hotel I look at 3 main areas. 1. location, 2.Facilities and 3. value for money. CCH ticks all 3 boxes. First the location - the hotel is ideally located close to the beaches of Mt Lavina as well as having great access to both the City of Colombo by road or train and other more distant areas and once you get used to the Sri Lankan driving system (yes there is a system) even the TUK TUK's are acceptable. Next is Cleanliness and whilst the cleaning staff are excellent and enthusiastic in their work it would pay to have an independent eye post the cleaning which some days was quite late but does not detract from the effort put in by the staff. Next is the staff - they really are a team who take great pride in their service From the manager Mr Nasmy, the receptionist Mohamed R and the rest of the team they made our stay memorable with their "nothing is too much trouble" approach to service. Well Done; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: The Red Lion; City: Driffield East Riding of Yorkshire England; Review: I recently stayed over at the red lion whilst working away and I was dissapointed.lovely rooms great bar with plenty of selection,the food wasn't bad atall and was very well priced (the breakfast is unbelievable).the owners are a great couple and make you feel very welcome.

Title: B B Hotel A Disneyland Paris; City: Magny le Hongre Marne la Vallee Seine et Marne Ile de Fra; Review: brilliant hotel for disney you pay for what you get. it is clean and tidy and the food is ok and there is a reasonable selection. access to the park is very very easy via the shuttle busses. returning from the park the easiest thing to do is get off at the explorers hotel next door to the B&B and just walk the short distance back, otherwise you will be going to the other hotels first ( doesn't make much sense ) be very careful if you book the magic bus supplied by Disney to get you to the airport we nearly had a disaster with it. the bus pulled up for a matter of seconds and just drove away leaving me and my family stranded. if you see your bus or what you think is your bus you need to be like lightening and knock on the drivers door. it nearly ruined a lovely holiday but luckily we made the airport with 15minutes to spare. I must say the guy at checkout tried to help but he offered a crap solution in the end. good hotel for the price. perfect for disney; Rating: 4.0/5.0

We set it up together in under 30 minutes (daughter did half with me, so by myself, 15 minutes would have been fine). The shipping box was really solid & protected the bike well.

Title: Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Beyond the Competition; Author: Visit Amazon's Michael A. Stelzner Page; Review: What do the entrepreneur at the kitchen table and the frustrated corporate marketing exec have in common? Both struggle with launching things. Both have been burned by the broken promises of marketing in our rapidly changing economy. Modern consumers are more educated and informed than ever before. They've got your number and, most of all, they don't want to be marketed and sold to. So where does that leave you and your idea? How can you cut through the clutter and rise above it all? THE ELEVATION PRINCIPLE "People want valuable insight, access to great people, and recognition before they want products and services." This is the thesis offered early on in the new book Launch: How to Quickly Propel Your Business Above the Competition by Michael A. Stelzner, the founder of Social Media Examiner. Those people that you want to reach with your widget or website? The ones that don't want to be marketed to? What they do want is to have their problems solved -- preferably by a trusted expert. So how do you do this? Launch's stage-by-stage, rocket-like assembly lays this out effectively and formulaically for you through The Elevation Principle. This theory states that Great Content + Other People - Marketing Messages = Growth. GREAT CONTENT IS FOOD FOR THE MIND As the book is built around the metaphor of launching a rocket into space, the great content you need to produce is broken into two categories. First, there's the 'primary fuel' you need to keep your rocket moving. This is the basic stuff we all create each day and week. How-to articles, interviews, reviews, case studies, and the like. This builds your body of work. But what about that big tank in the center of the rocket? This booster is the 'nuclear fuel' that gives you that kick you need to breakthrough and get where you're going. This is the harder-to-produce content like research reports, white papers, and events. This propels your subscribers, leads, customers, and ultimately your business into orbit. A classic example of nuclear fuel is Disney's development of theme parks, which leveraged their existing content while taking their experience to a whole new level of engagement. LIFT UP OTHER PEOPLE Rockets don't fly themselves, an early chapter in Launch announces. So who consumes all of this great content? To lift off, you'll need to engage three types of people: - Reader base -- your general audience, which may or may not yet be prospects and customers (yet) but whose problems you understand - Outside experts -- people outside your company who have access to knowledge your readers value; leveraging experts can help your idea take flight - Fire starters -- super-experts who can help you reach the next frontier Each of these groups is absolutely critical to helping you and your brand achieve escape velocity. You could say Launch is a book about content marketing but that's an oversimplification. If you take another step back, you'll realize that the great content is really powered by a deep belief in helping people solve their problems; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brand Against the Machine: How to Build Your Brand, Cut Through the Marketing; Author: Visit Amazon's John Michael Morgan Page; Review: With powerful tools like Google, Facebook, and Pinterest, we don't need to concern ourselves with dusty concepts like `branding' anymore do we? That's soooooo old school. Think again. Now more than ever we need to build strong brands to stand out against the deafening noise. A new book not only makes the case for branding but offers a prescription for success in our rapidly evolving and ever-crowded new media world. THE ELEVATOR PITCH This concept is at the very heart of Brand Against the Machine by John Morgan. Regardless of the media shifts around us, brands have the potential to be strategically advantageous, long-term assets. Pricing, customers, and databases can easily be stolen or copied. Building a strong brand is really the only option for true differentiation. As Morgan says, "Having a strong brand beats the heck out of selling." THE BIG IDEAS The short chapters in Brand Against the Machine (about 3-4 pages each) are built around stand-alone concepts that make the book a quick and easy read. While there are too many points to summarize completely, here are a few key take-aways. Your Brand Needs an `Anchor Belief' Passion in your work begets passion in your audience. That's why the strongest brands have an Anchor Belief. An easy exercise for thinking of this is exploring why you do what you do outside of monetary goals. For example, Virgin has anchored their brand around being a dissident voice in a world of followers. Personal Brands Can Be Components of Bigger Brands Think about Oprah and Richard Branson. Both are powerful personal brands but they are also part of bigger brands OWN and Virgin respectively. Personal brands can impact company brands of all sizes. Visibility Matters More Than Ability Increasingly, as we build brands in the online space our conversations center around the concept of being seen. While people will initially find your brand because of your visibility they will buy more over time because of your ability (the order is important -- remember, only one in five who encounters your brand becomes a customer). Your brand has to be seen first. As Morgan asserts, there's no room for passive brands today. Definitions Matter: Marketing vs Branding This is an important distinction that's often glazed over. These two words are not interchangeable. How you market comes and goes while your brand is forever and built over time. Morgan also examines the concepts of `Attention vs. Trust' and `Interrupting People vs. Involving People' as well. Borrow Authority to Build Authority Consumers look for authority when exploring brands, thus establishing an authoritative beachhead online is critical in positioning your expertise. Interviews are great tools for building authority via association. To be honest, I do that with the interviews here on my blog, nickwestergaard.com. Beware of Brand Dissonance Brand damage can occur when you lack transparency -- when the real `you' doesn't match the brand you've created. Tiger Woods is a great example of this.

Title: The Rebel's Guide to Email Marketing: Grow Your List, Break the Rules, and Win (Que Biz-Tech); Author: Visit Amazon's DJ Waldow Page; Review: I'm not big on full-throated endorsements but if your business has anything to do with email marketing (if it doesn't that's another issue altogether) there's something in The Rebel's Guide to Email Marketing for you. Whether you're a marketing VP or coordinator, a copywriter or designer, you'll find nuggets of intel that will leave your copy of the book broken-spined and dog-eared. I also have to give Waldow and Falls props for how they close the book as well. First, they poll four venerable email experts on the future of the channel. Next, taking Nike's advice to "Just Do It" a step further, Rebel's Guide leaves you with an actionable four-step list (with due dates!) for you to kickstart your email program. Like a true manual, The Rebel's Guide will serve as a continuing resource not simply by telling you what you should and shouldn't do with your email marketing campaigns. Rather it provides the frameworks you can make your own and reminds you that only by testing with your audience will you know for certain. Take to heart the book's golden rule -- best practices are practices tht work best for your subscribers. This is valuable advice for email marketing and beyond. How are you using email in your marketing mix? If you need to shake things up, look no further than The Rebel's Guide to Email Marketing. You can read my full review here: [...]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Impact Equation: Are You Making Things Happen or Just Making Noise?; Author: Visit Amazon's Chris Brogan Page; Review: Are you building a new brand or re-imagining an existing brand in the digital space? Are you a consultant, professional services provider, blogger, or speaker looking to add value and make your mark? If your answer to any of these was `yes,' then The Impact Equation belongs on your reading list. A word of warning: Don't dive into this expecting a light read that you can casually flip through. The Impact Equation is a book of big ideas that merit careful consideration and thought. Simply blowing through the book won't result in optimal impact for you or your brand. I'm a very deliberate reader and found myself slowly going through the book's pages and re-reading to internalize Impact's ideas. You'll also want a Moleskine or Evernote (or both) handy for capturing concepts you'll want to implement. The book also features a few interactive workbook-like activities that you may want to record for future use. Again, this is not a paint-by-number social media 101 handbook. Rather, The Impact Equation is an advanced recipe book for building a trustworthy, human brand on a channel that by definition reduces our physical closeness to others. In short, if you are ready to get past the headlines and hype and create a more human brand, check out The Impact Equation. You can check out my full review here - [...]; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ctrl Alt Delete: Reboot Your Business. Reboot Your Life. Your Future Depends on It.; Author: Visit Amazon's Mitch Joel Page; Review: One of the joys of doing The Work Talk Show podcast with DJ Waldow each week is conversing with guests about how they get work done and manage their professional and personal lives. That's where I first heard Mitch Joel call BS on the concept of work-life balance. As he quoted Seth Godin, "instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don't need to escape from." Mitch elaborates on this in his new book, Ctrl Alt Delete. The Elevator Pitch More than a simple marketing book, as the subtitle suggests, Ctrl Alt Delete has two areas of focus -- rebooting your business and rebooting your life. If there's another theme at the core of the book it's that this really isn't something you can wait for in either case. The marketplace -- your customers and community -- have already changed irrevocably. It's not enough to simply hire some young turks to rework your image or fire off a new social media strategy. You have to change and your business has to change. Your future depends on it. 4 Big Ideas from Ctrl Alt Delete But Joel doesn't paint a grim picture with Ctrl Alt Delete. Indeed, as the title implies, your life and work can start anew with a reboot in some key areas. Here are a few examples. 1. Direct Customer Relationships Are Where It's At -- Beyond any specific platform, the real value of digital media comes when you are able to establish a direct relationship with your customers. For many industries, distributors and other partners have owned the end users but now it's easier than ever to work directly with your customer and forge a meaningful relationship. The downside? You're all (you, vendors, suppliers, etc.) competing for their social attention. 2. No Multiple Screens -- Flying in the face of our favorite talking points about "multiple screens," Ctrl Alt Delete calls out the one screen that matters -- the one that's in front of you. Rather than worrying about individual screens, Joel advocates adopting a digital-first posture across our business units to bring about a holistic change in the customer experience. 3. Kill the Content -- Wait, "content is king," right? Sure, but the reality of the new media landscape is that now that we're all publishers and can create more content than ever before, we have an even bigger responsibility that may require us to pause and, yes, kill the content for a bit as we regroup. What could be more important than content? Making sure your brand is telling powerful stories. 4. Embrace Your Careers Squiggles -- This is one of my favorite concepts in the Reboot You portion of the book. Why should your career today be based on a decision you made at age 16 with your high school guidance counselor? While our career paths look more different and less linear now (they squiggle instead!) this can also help businesses as well. Consider how companies like Twitter and Instagram sprung forth as squiggles from companies originally founded; Rating: 5.0/5.0

No one has all of the budget and staff they need.

Title: No One Understands You and What to Do About It; Author: Heidi Grant Halvorson; Review: It sounds cliche to say "the title says it all" BUT ... it actually does! The central issue addressed in this book is a huge challenge for many. Whether you're in sales, marketing, or leading a team, how we are perceived by others plays a huge role. Heidi Grant Halvorson not only has the science behind how our minds work when perceiving the actions of others, she has a light yet thorough way of laying it all out. It's rare that you have a book packed full of social psychology that's a fun and engaging read but No One Understands You is just that. I found myself both learning and laughing. If you care what others think about you (who doesn't??), this book belongs on your next-up list.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Everybody Writes addresses this in an accessible way that no other book has. Think of it as an advanced Elements of Style for content creators in the digital age. Like that classic, it's concise, focused, and incredibly useful. As always, Ann does this with equal parts humor and heart. Youll laugh as you learn.

Title: Prepworks by Progressive Multi Slicer; Brand: Progressive; Review: I bought this product from my local TJMaxx for $9.99. I agree with the first customer's review that it works well. The blade is smooth and not serrated. The push top never hits the blade (I looked at a Zyliss Easy Slice Folding Mandoline and the push top metal pins actually hit the blades when sliding without a veggie.). With the Progressive Prepworks Multi Slicer, you cannot cut any veggies lengthwise ... such as a zucchini because of the tall lip above the handle. I like grilling zucchini and cutting it in half is not going to work for me. However, the suggestion of cutting the veggie in half before using the slicer is do-able for certain veggies such as for potatoes. It would be hard to use for carrots because a carrot is too thin. I thought the large julienne slicer was going to be too wide, but it is actually the right size ... not too thin, not too thick. The large julienne slicer teeth are about a 6/16th of an inch between teeth, while the thin julienne blade is 1/8th of an inch width between the teeth of the blades. The cut of the depth is about 3/16th in height. I like the clever way the blades are stored in the unit's bottom. I also like the non-skid feet and grip. I do like the easy cleaning access to the push top. I would rank this higher if there wasn't a tall lip on the bed. If it had a flat bed, I would give this a higher rating than an average. I'm not sure I will keep this unit.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Reed & Barton 1482545000 Dayton 45-Piece Flatware Set,(Discontinued by manufacturer); Brand: Reed & Barton; Review: The Pros: I ordered the 1st set from Giftware Collection on Amazon for $77.89 and the set arrived today. The good news is that this set is gorgeous. It's high mirror polish, a terrific weight (someone said not too heavy and not to light ... just right), the tip of the forks are not dull and the tinge is pointy as far as forks go. When laid flat, the set has a slight curve that is elegant and ergonomically comfortable and not awkward. At the tip of the handle, there is a slight upturn like a tear drop. The all pieces, including the knives are cast as one single piece without any break between the blade and the handle. The flatware is slightly oversized ... not so much like the Reed and Barton Sawyer pattern. The forks are definitely longer, but the spoons are just slightly larger than my current Oneida set (I returned the Sawyer because the teaspoon was the size of the soup spoon). This set was is smaller than the Sawyer ... well, as far as the spoons concern. My favorite thing about this set is that the handles are smooth all over. You would think that the sides of the handles may be more sharp and flat, but it is not. There is a rounding effect also on the sides of the handle, thus making it very comfortable to hold. Alas the set arrived damaged - it had some scratches on the large fork and one of the scratch broke thru the chrome, so I returned it. I'm returning this set and reordering the same set ... but this time 2 sets ... because I liked the design so much. However, this time the seller is now Luxury Giftware and they are charging me $90.88 for the same set (grumble, grumble), a $13+ increase. The set is made in China. Looking forward to getting my new flatware soon ...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Shark Rotator Powered Lift-Away Speed Upright Vacuum, Blue (NV682); Brand: SharkNinja; Review: I just bought the NV682 this weekend at Bed Bath and Beyond for $199.99 (mfg giving discount incentive so it's yellow tagged down to $239.99 plus I had a 20% discount coupon) and thought to test drive it. I'm impressed (but doesn't take much to impress me since my previous model was a Dirt Devil canister with no rotating brush that I've had since right out of college). Many, many years later, I thought it's time to invest in a real vacuum cleaner. This is a great unit with a slim profile. It's relatively light-weight and it wasn't much of an effort to push. The base configuration of the vacuum is 12.6 pounds with the lift-away portion weighing 6 pounds. In fact, it took me for a fast walk. I believe the rotating brush head propels this unit forward which reminded me of my Honda self-propel lawn mower. The extension cord is 30 feet (I measured it). There are 3 washable filters on this vacuum. Two filters you should wash every three months (I'd say more often with frequent use). One Heppa filter behind the grill that it is recommended that you wash annually. This vacuum has great suction, maneuverability under bed/table/sofa, lift-away allows you to vacuum the air return vents and ceiling fans and high up places, it's relatively light-weight, it's slim profile needing less storage space (width), has a sliding switch on the handle to change between carpet and floor mode (love this feature), easy access to washable filters, filters are easy to wash, easy to assemble, has a release button on both the top and the bottom of the trash canister for easy dumping. If I am facing the canister's front, the on/off switch is on the right side of the canister (not on the handle. - no biggie for me). The lift-away button is on the the left side of the canister which is great for right-handed people like me. I noticed that someone had asked if they could control the suction on this unit. The answer is yes. There is a left-right sliding open compartment just under the switch that you change from carpet to floor. You slide the compartment open and it releases the suction. You can control how much air to lose. It reminds me of the sliding switch on my refrigerator crisper drawer. Basically, similar concept. I took away one star because the trash compartment was rather small on this unit so I'd have to dump the trash more often. The trash canister has 2 compartments - an inner and outer compartment. Trash fills up from the outer canister before the inner one fills up. The crescent shape of the outer side of the canister made dumping the trash a bit more messy, especially if you have a lot of dirt compacted in there. You can also lift open the upper canister lid and you can empty the trash mainly for the inner canister chamber as well as the outer crescent chamber. I'm not certain that the inner canister chamber is supposed to be; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Norpro 666 Nonstick Egg Rings, Set of 2, One Size, Multicolor; Brand: Norpro; Review: It's okay. I was able to flip it but it still needs cooking spray to keep it from sticking. I probably could have pick this up at a local TJMaxx or Ross.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Tenta Kitchen Kitchen Utensils & Gadget Tool Set, Stainless Steel (Set Of 2); Brand: TENTA TENTA KITCHEN; Review: The products (2 spatula) arrived on time from China. However, it was narrower than I expected and it didn't have enough flex for me as compared to the Sur La Table slotted fish spatula. Here is a comparison between the Sur La Table and the Tenta 7 spatulas. As you can see from the photos, the Sur La Table spatula is wider and has more flex. Overall, the spatula is not as nice as the Sur La Table spatula because the Tenta 7 is smaller and doesn't flex enough (too stiff).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: 2 sets Shark Rocket HV300 replacement filters, XFFV300; Brand: AI-vacuum; Review: Bought this for my Shark Rocket Ultra-Light Upright Vacuum, Orange (HV302) . Fit was fine and no gaps.

Could be my imagination, but the flat fiber post-filter appear to be not as thick as the original post-filter that came with the vacuum?; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

I think the vegetarians are winning for once. They're beer list is unbelievable. I didn't realise how much so until a recent visit to belgium and I couldn't believe how many beers I had already had at monks. It is an institution and we are lucky to have this little oasis in our town. They have always had a really late kitchen which is a fantastic thing.

Title: adidas Performance Men's Superstar 3G Slide Sandal; Brand: ; Review: Lifelong devotee of the Superstar slides. Once again, highly satisfied with the purchase. Very comfortable, sharp look, excellent cushioning in the sandals. You can wear these all day comfortably. The strap is adjustable, so you can make it exactly as tight as you need. The bouncy cushioning holds the sandal against your foot very well. Can't recommend these enough. If you want a comfortable pair of everyday sandals, these are the ones to get. At the price I got them (about $18), they can't be beat. I buy about one pair every 12-18 months as they wear out (not due to poor quality, but due to the fact that I live in Florida and wear them every night, all weekend, any pretty much any time I'm not in the office).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: PUMA Men's Rio Lux M Slide Sandal; Brand: ; Review: I have been a devoted purchaser of adidas Superstar 3G slides for many years, but I wanted to try something with a different look but the same general idea. These slides look good, the Puma logo in green contrasts very well with the black of the shoe. They are very comfortable, plenty of padding in the sole. My only note is that they are a little light compared to the adidas. That may sound like an odd complaint, as you would normally want the lightest shoe possible. But these are so light that you almost feel like they'll come off if you walk too fast. That hasn't actually been a problem; the sandals stay put and it's not too difficult to walk in them. It's probably just that I've been so used to the feel of the adidas for so long that a new design takes getting used to. That being said, that's not so much a complaint as a way of comparing the feel and comfort of these sandals. I'm very happy with the purchase and wear these around the house or for errands whenever the weather is nice enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Screen print is a good faded look, which is appropriate for a tee based on an 80s movie. Screen print isn't overly thick. Neck is just a little bit tighter than I normally get in a large tee, but I expect it will get stretched a little bit the more I wear it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: adidas Men's Adicross Classic Golf Shoe; Brand: ; Review: Look good, decent price. Comfort in the insole could be improved. Little worried about how the suede will hold up over time, but I'll update the review after I've worn them a little longer. Assuming they last a while, the four-star rating is more about the lack of comfort in the inner shoe and insole. Little more cushion would go a long way for 18 holes in the hot sun.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Champion Men's Encore Slip-On; Brand: ; Review: Comfy and good without socks. But just a little bit smaller than expected for an 11.5, fit more like 11.

Title: Sazerac PHX; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: This bar is really cool! I am feeling a "speakeasy" kind of vibe. The music and decorations are my favorite aspect. The crowd is young and full of energy! I thought the whole place was really well put together. This place is perfect for getting drinks with friends, but not somewhere I would bring a date. The overall atmosphere is LOUD and upbeat. I had a great time! Will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: St. Francis Restaurant; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: The waitress and staff were very nice and the ambiance of the restaurant was very cool and trendy. I wasn't blown away by the food.

Title: Pizzeria Bianco; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: Pizza was delicious I thought the staff was very nice. I felt like for the price and the quality it was definitely worth it. There is a lot of hype about this place, so it was expected to have some wait. I was lucky and was seated outside immediately. I definitely recommend this place!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Chipotle Mexican Grill; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: This location is VERY busy! The staff is very friendly and provided fast service.

Title: Cibo; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: Delicious pizza place. Has a small town feel and definitely makes you feel at home.

Title: Joyride Taco House; City: Phoenix, AZ; Review: Joyride is an awesome spot with lots of seating options for large groups, but also the bar area is a relaxed space that would be fine for a couple or even going by yourself. I had the tacos and really enjoyed the specially crafted margaritas! I highly recommend this restaurant, and like many other popular places in the valley its a good idea to get on the wait-list before you get hangry! Taco Tuesday is a largely celebrated day at this venue so keep that in mind when planning your trip. Cheers!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Seeing the Real You at Last: Life and Love on the Road with Bob Dylan; Author: Visit Amazon's Britta Lee Shain Page; Review: Bob Dylan has never really been high on my "following" list, however, I heard from a friend that the writer of this book was a great writer. So I bought the book to perhaps see into the life of a rock star on the road. I could not put the book down. Ms. Shain succeeded in taking ME on the road with Dylan's entourage. I am a musician myself, however I never have taken my music "on the road." Ms. Shain's engaging writing style brings the reader along with her on her journeys into the life Dylan on and off the road. Her writing style is very authentic, meaning, that she often asks herself the many questions that come up in the present moment of a person doing something out of her comfort zone, monitoring her actions while she is performing them. The book opens a huge window into the life of a traveling rock star, and all that goes on within the entourage, as seen by an "insider". I recommend this book to anyone who would like to see what it is like... being on a tour bus, international traveling, or being in a relationship with someone who is part of the entourage of an American rock icon. Thoroughly enlightening and entertaining!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Southampton Inn; City: Southampton Long Island New York; Review: Looking forward to a belated Mother's Day weekend, my husband chose this spot on the basis of the website, which makes the Inn appear to be a) charming and b) on the beach. It is neither!!! It is at best an upscale motel. The rooms overlook a (noisy) pool area or a parking lot. The restaurant is the basement of the hotel and without any charm whatsoever. The Inn is on the main drag, nowhere near the beach...it's only advantage in terms of location is that it is walking distance to the main shopping street. Worst of all, the fluffy comforter bed had clearly not been cleaned for weeks and I was eaten alive by its dust mites. I was in complete misery for 2.5 weeks after my 2 nights there. Stay away!!!!!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Anantara Siam Bangkok Hotel; City: Bangkok; Review: I've never stayed at a Four Seasons hotel. Now I know what first class service is. When I requested a wake up call, they asked if I wanted complimentary coffee or tea after I was awakened. When I brought flowers back to the hotel and asked for a vase, they took them and arranged them for me...adding extra flowers! The only drawback is that the property is situated so that the front "golf course" view looks out at the Skytrain (or does the Skytrain look at you?). You see the Skytrain tracks and the train...with the golf course beyond. Not ideal. Alternatively, you look out over the pool, whcih is hemmed in by three high rise buildings which obviously were not there when the hotel was built. Also, while extremely convenient to the Skytrain and the convention center (a 10 min walk), it's far from the river and the main attractions which means incredible time spent in traffic unless you're site seeing on a Sunday. Suggest you request a room in the smaller courtyard (room numbers with the last two numbers above 63) and that you face the pool).; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Grande Bretagne a Luxury Collection Hotel Athens; City: Athens Attica; Review: This is supposedly the grande dame of Athens hotels and it's location is terrific. But this is the sort of place your grandparents would have called elegant had they had the dough to stAy here. I'm no youngster and I've stayed at many a fine hotel in various parts of the world. You don't hAve to be stuffy to be great. This place is stuffy to the core which detracts from a sense of hospitality. and the bottom line is money rather than hospitality. They even charge for using the tv in your room. Our room was wonderfully quiet altho we faced the inner courtyard. Given the price it was small (altho with a fine bathroom) and dark. Despite the fabulous breakfast in the roof garden rest with great view of acropolis, I would not choose this place again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Moses Fountain; City: Rome Lazio; Review: This is a perfect hideaway in Rome, although you have to be ready to climb stairs to get there. If that's not a problem, stay here!!! The location is great: 10 minute walk from the train station, which is also where you will arrive if you take the train from the airport. I walked from the train station without problems. Mind you, this used to be a very rough neighborhood, but no longer. In fact, this hotel is literally around the corner from the 5 star St. Regis, so that tells you all you need to know. It backs onto the lovely Moses Fountain--which explains its name. It's a bit hard to find, because the door to the hotel is a wooden door in a wall that is marked with an inconspicuous sign. I walked past it two or three times before asking the doorman at the fancy hotel around the corner where it was. He condescendingly pointed the way. Once you ring the bell, you will be buzzed in and confronted by two flights of steps. Close the door behind you, and if someone doesn't greet you, just leave your bags and climb up the stairs. They will then go down and fetch your bags. The rooms are clean and modern and air conditioned (I was there during a heat wave). Breakfast is on the porch. You are across the street from a church with one of Bernini's most famous scultures, and walking distance from everything in central Rome. Also, given the prices in Rome, this place is a real bargain. Mind you, there is no pool, no room service, etc. It is a place to stay--which is all I want in a hotel since I am there to sleep and not much more. They were, however, very helpful in terms of directions and suggestions for places to eat. Incidentally, ask to be shown the inner workings of the Moses Fountain from the inside which can be accessed only through the hotel. Fascinating! I will be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Westin Boston Waterfront; City: Boston Massachusetts; Review: I love the Westin a Copley Square. Not the one at the Waterfront. Will never stay here again. It is in the middle of nowhere. There are no choices of restaurants and walking to one is a trek. The clock radios in the room are impossible to set. The remote control on the TV is difficult to operate (you have to practically stand next to the TV screen to change channels, and just as I was trying to go on line to write this review, the internet service went down. Since I'm here on business, I had no desire to spend my time battling with the technology in the room. I wouldn't be any happier if I were here on vacation.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: The Siena Hotel Autograph Collection; City: Chapel Hill North Carolina; Review: Stayed at the Siena for business. Nicest hotel room I've been in in a long time.

I hear the restaurant is excellent but didn't have a chance to try it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sun n Sea; City: Longboat Key Florida; Review: Eighteen members of our family (ages 2-80) rented several cottages at Sun 'n Sea for a family gathering. It was perfect! The cottages are comfortable but not fancy; the kitchens have everything you need, grocery stores are close by and best of all, you're right on the beach. There are restaurants within a 10-15 minutes drive, and Sarasota is about 20 min away, but frankly, I never wanted to leave the grounds of Sun 'n Sea. Members of my family have been going there for 15 years. We love it. Best cottages are 1-5.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Citadines Saint Germain des Pres Paris; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: This is a modern hotel, right on the Seine, in the midst of the major highlights in Paris, at the foot of the Pont Neuf. There is nothing charming about this hotel. The rooms are small, with white walls, a small TV, a small bathroom and a handy kitchen with refridgerator, stove top and dish washer. Everything about the hotel is "minimal". There is no door man. No one to help with baggage. The staff at the desk is overworked, which means standing in line to check in or out. There's no concierge, so that it's difficult to ask for directions or make reservations at times when there are lines for guests checing in or out. The maid service was minimal and late (bed was made, bathroom sink not cleaned, and I had to call to get this done when I discovered the room had not been serviced by 1 in the afternoon. On the other hand, since I requested a room with a view, I had a magnificent view of the Seine, St. Chapelle, Notre Dame, Montmartre, etc. So this place is a mixed bag. I wouldn't choose it again.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Victoria Palace; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: This is an absolutely wonderful hotel. It is about half way between St. Germain and Montparnasse, on a quiet side street, away from the hustle and bussle of the touristic center, but close enough to be convenient to everything. There are two metro stops within a 5 minute walk, and you about 10 minutes walk from the Luxembourg Gardens. The hotel is charming. The rooms are amazingly spacious, comfortalbe, lovely and quiet. The bathrooms are of marble and are also spacious and modern. My room faced on the interior courtyard. Not a goregeous view, but allowed plenty of light, and absolute quiet. It was decorated with provincial wall covering and matching curtains, a large flat screen TV, a writing desk and comfortable chair. The bed was beautifully made with an excellent mattress. My only minor critiques are that there were no easily accessible outlets for plugging in and charging my cell phone and computer, and, although the breakfast buffet was ample, I didn't think the croissant were up to my expectations for Paris. Nonetheless, I'll go back the next time I'm in Paris, and the next time after that. I loved this place.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Il Trebbiolo Relais; City: Molino del Piano Pontassieve Tuscany; Review: We stayed for a week at Il Trebbiolo. We had been there a few years ago for dinner, and returned for a week's stay to participate in a nearby wedding. Well, the food is still delicious and reasonably priced. The villa itself has some very positive and rather negative aspects. We stayed in the best room (Oliva) in the main house. It was actually a suite. The "living room" had a fold away couch so the room could hold a family of 4. Our bedroom looked out over the valley--a beuatiful view. However, we were right over the dining terrace, so there was some noise, and the children playing at the pool were definitely noisy even though the pool is not immediately adjacent to the main building. Still, I would suggest a room facing the valley. Rooms facing the other direction have no view except for nearby trees. The bathroom was simple but adequate. The furnishings also simple but adequate--a bit shabby. The pool is wonderful! But otherwise, this is a no frills place. There is no one to help you with your baggage, so you need to schlepp it from your car to your room, which might involve one or two flights of steps. The owners are kind but speak English sparingly, and their directions were almost consistently problematic. (Incidentally--this place is nearly impossible to find, and don't count on your GPS!). Breakfast consisted of a buffet--all cold. Again, adequate, but not more. The cakes on the buffet were plentiful but not very good. The coffee was okay (how many times can I use the word adequate?). Dinners remain the best feature. The food is not fancy but delicious and fairly priced. The dining terrace overlooks the valley and very pleasant. This is probably a good choice for families. Not fancy. Great pool. Reasonably priced. Would I go back? Probably not. I would bet there are better places nearby.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Vienna House Andel s Lodz; City: Lodz Lodz Province Central Poland; Review: Wow, what a place! The hotel is in part of a huge, restored and renovated textile factory. The renovation is just fantastic: modern, spacious and gorgeous. The rooms are enormous and beautiful. Bathrooms, too, are spacious and ultra-modern, with bath and shower AND heated tile floors. The pool is out of this world. On the top floor, it is a perfect temperature, has a gorgeous view of the city, is long enough for lap swimming, and is beautifully designed. Unquestionably the best hotel pool I've ever experienced. I'd come back here in a minute and only wish it were in a place that I visit often. If this is typical of the Vienna International chain of hotels (mostly in Eastern Europe), I'll choose this chain whenever I'm here.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Barcelona Princess; City: Barcelona Catalonia; Review: Why this hotel has a certificate of excellence from TripAdvisor is beyond me. There are so many problems with this hotel, it's hard to get them all down. I'll start with the fact that the design of the rooms is highly problematic. In the first room we were given, we found that the shower leaked into the adjoining area with the toilet. In addition, the door to the room was almost impossible to open and close (wood frame broken). We were staying for a week (on business, at the conference center across the street), and so I wanted a room where there was no danger of floods,so I asked to be moved. Usually this results in a move to a better room. They offered the next door room which was smaller; this one had a closet half the size of the first room, and since I was with my husband, I knew that wouldn't work. Finally, they moved us to a slightly larger room. This one had a real bathroom (as opposed to theothers with a walled off bathroom area, and it was big, but the counter in the bathroom was half the size of those in the previous rooms. Well, we took it. Moved in. Found that the bathroom door wouldn't close (swollen/broken frame). The layout of the closet and bathroom door was such that they banged into one another, and the drawers in the closet banged into the door as well. Even the design of the soap dish was problematic--trapping all the water and turning the tiny bar of soap into goop. And...(yes, there's much more), did I mention that the first night we were here there was an electrical storm and the rain poured into the glass bridgeway connecting the two buidlings of the hotel so that they had to lay towels on the floor? And...the internet network was slow at best, and wouldn't allow access to all sites--giving messages that your connection had timed out just as you were signing in. And...there is no concierge or helpful doorman, so you're pretty much on your own. The reception desk can be helpful, but they're pretty often overwhelmed with crowds in the lobby checking in and out. My only positive comment is that breakfasts were great, but I'd never stay here again. (Oh, and it was expensive--even on a convention rate: over $300/night).; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Autor; City: Lima Lima Region; Review: We wanted a place to stay in Lima for a couple of nights that didn't feel like a business hotel. We found it! Hotel de Autor is a converted home with 4 guest rooms. The building is from the 20s, designed by an architect, very art deco, situated in a lovely courtyard. The room was large and very comfortable, the breakfasts were delicious and plentiful, the owners gracious and helpful (completely fluent in English and very knowledgeable about what to do in Lima and in Peru in general). You are walking distance (1 block) from the main thoroughfare in Miraflores--very upscale part of town, so very well situation. We would go back there in a minute.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Plus Hotel Carlton; City: Annecy Haute Savoie Auvergne Rhone Alpes; Review: I have been to this hotel twice when in Annecy on business. It is very comfortable.

I wish they would have somewhat higher quality croissants. After all, this is France!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Three Seasons Motor Lodge; City: Dennis Port Dennis Cape Cod Massachusetts; Review: An uninspired motel built in a great location, BUT:.

Title: The Westin Seattle; City: Seattle Washington; Review: I've been staying at the Westin Seattle for 15 years when in town for business. Love the rooms, the views, the quiet.

Title: Ladera Resort; City: Soufriere Soufriere Quarter St Lucia; Review: I had wanted to go to Ladera ever since I heard the rooms only had 3 walls. Why did it take me so long to get there. It was everything and more than I expected. The rooms are fabulous. We were in room D, with heated splash pool, incredible view, our room on the upper floor of our "duplex". We left the property only rarely during our 6 days, it was so peaceful and perfect to stay, relax, swim, read, watch the birds, have massages, etc. I'll go back--as soon as possible.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Elgin Mount Pandim Pelling; City: Pelling West Sikkim Sikkim; Review: had sent my mother and her two sisters to sikkim and darjeeling. stayed in club mahindra gangtok, mayfair in darjeeling and mt pandim in pelling. though mt pandim ambience was good and the lawn too- the food was terrible and extremely over priced. for 3 of them per meal of just rice , vegetable and egg the PER HEAD charge was Rs. 700. and for 2 such meals total charge came to 4000 rs. since there are no options close by they were forced to have meals from there. this is nothing but day light robbery for want of a better word. the other two places were far more reasonable. the rest of the stay was good. but no game room etc and post 3 pm one can hardly step out and without any inhouse entertainment its quite sad. posting this on behalf of my mother and her sisters.

Title: Melia Sevilla; City: Seville Province of Seville Andalucia; Review: stayed there for a about a day and half in january. so there is no help with your baggage etc unless you specifically ask ( even then its quite slow). the rooms are impersonal but ok. the worst part is if you sit and work on the table in the room then the lights keep going off - because unless movement is detected in the room the lights , a/c etc go off. its funny. so even if you are sitting and doing some serious work then every 5 minutes you have to get up and show your face at the sensor which is at the other end of the room. when i asked the hotel authorities what one should do about this they said keep walking . wouldn't stay in this hotel again; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Similarly service is restaurant s was pathetic and more often it would be better for you to go pick up things - shanti who served us the first two days was an exception . Had a great beach volleyball and football court and that was the saving grace for us . And cycles that were lying around . If you are going here go as a large group as there is nothing to do at nearby places and KL is a good one and hour s away . If you are going alone or just with a few members this place is highly avoidable . Incidentally we didn't have housekeeping - even water bottles weren't replenished .; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Grand Hyatt Goa; City: Bambolim North Goa District Goa; Review: Stayed there during a conference .checked into room the door knob wasn't working . Thought I will have a soft drink while I waited for the repair mini bar was locked said I have to pay a deposit so asked them to send a person and collect a deposit . Guy came said only MasterCard ( guess that really can't blame them ) after 15 min a person comes to open the mini bar ( why it couldn't happen simultaneously beats me ) - he opens the mini bar and takes out everything there is in it - asked him then why would I want a mini bar - he says this is his instruction . Speak to reception again they apologise and put the stuff back !!!!! None of The staff smiles or wishes you while you meet them in corridor or open areas - all of them seem morose and the whole hotel gives you that feeling . Beautiful property but lacks a soul and there is nothing nearby . So why stay here . Rooms are good but maintained poorly - balcony opened out to a great lawn and the beach beyond but found couple of stray dogs ???? Doesn't give you a safe feeling . On second day came back to the room at 3 pm - the housekeeping hadn't done anything so called them - they were prompt in coming and cleaning up but one would have expected that it would have been done between 9 and 3 pm; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Club Mahindra Binsar Valley; City: Binsar Almora District Uttarakhand; Review: Though delayed but still writing. Spacious & clean rooms, helpful & friendly staff, good food. Away from the traffic noise...in whole of 24 hours there was 15 min of traffic noise despite the resort being situated on the sate highway. We were also offered which me & my wife gladly accepted the local delicacies (kumaun food). Staff used to organize one activity or another in the evening. And every evening when we reach back into the room there was a surprise for us.......the house keeping staff used to make various shapes out of the towels like rabbit, swan..........delightful experience...would love to go back.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: HPTDC The Chail Palace; City: Chail Kandaghat Tehsil Solan District Himachal Pradesh; Review: At the outset I would like to confess that I am a great nature lover. I have stayed at chail palace 3 times till now & every time I have opted for log huts. I found the rooms in the main building stuffy. The log huts are situated little away from the main building which will take 10 minutes of walk to reach. Get up early in the morning, you open your door to absolute greenery in the morning, have a cup of tea & go for a walk. Forget about the traffic noise & get immersed in sounds of forest. Come back to the hut......freshen up....walk to the main building. ..have your b'fast.....go again for your walk. There are so many trails to explore. In the afternoon you can plan a visit to "kali ka tibba" a beautiful temple with beautiful views. You can skip the cricket ground. Don't opt for buffet. ......go for a la carte. There is one good eating place in the main bazaar. You can walk till there. Forget your car for a while......& walk.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kufri Holiday Resort; City: Kufri Shimla District Himachal Pradesh; Review: Went with family & friends on 17th January & there was absolutely no snow....was disheartened. On asking a very helpful employee of the resort i got the answer as tonight it will snow at around 3 in the morning, i gave him my mobile number & asked him to give me a call whenever it starts to snow if it does & then went off to sleep. At exactly 15 min past midnight i got a call from him that sir it has started to snow. And then it snowed & snowed for next 14 hours. Plus points of the resort.......Good location, Good cottages (please stay in the cottages if you can get it), Good Food, Helpful & Courteous Staff. Negative points.......Just Acceptable Room Service which needs to be improved & above everything "NO Continuous Running HOT Water" which can be really annoying if there is snowing outside. All said & done.....Nice Place.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Woodstock Resort; City: Naldehra Shimla District Himachal Pradesh; Review: So again it was the time for annual monsoon trip & this time it was decided to go to Naldehra which is about 20 kms ahead of shimla. Had been talking to Mr. Paramjeet who is the owner of the resort & my expectations were sky high regarding the resort and man......was i disappointed on reaching there.....YES. Though i did not get to see the surroundings as it was raining heavily.....& therefore we went to sleep after having dinner which i must say was excellent....Nothing fancy but excellent in quality & quantity. Next morning on getting up i found the peaceful surroundings which i always want on the trip & my spirits began to rise. And to my surprise Mr. Paramjeet & his family had also reached there in the middle of the night to take care of the guests as it was going to be busy time for the resort. Mr. Paramjeet himself, his wife & the two lovely daughters made every effort to make everyone's stay there with them comfortable & enjoyable. We enjoyed roaming around. Food was EXCELLENT though everybody had to wait for it. On coming to know about the history of the resort which i will not share here (will let Mr. Paramjeet himself tell) i am sure that they will do wonders. My best regards & best wishes to them. Coming to the negative points......we two couples had booked Super Deluxe Suites which are only 2 in number & situated on different 1st & 2nd floor. Though it does not seem to make much of a difference but when you are travelling in a group you want to stay on the same floor....so my advice is to book the suite when you are travelling alone as single family. These suites have the balcony just for the namesakes. I really wish the balcony could have been bigger so that we could have at least 2 chairs & table out in the balcony for the morning tea. (I hope Mr. Paramjeet will read this & act accordingly) I don't think there is any more negative point. Maybe the service is little not up to the mark but once i came to know everything i did not mind......i sincerely hope that it flourishes. FOOD as i have been saying was simply great....oh that morning time poori with bhajji...i am salivating while writing. We stayed there for 3 nights & my weight increased by 1.5 kgs. My best wishes.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Apple Cart Inn; City: Kiarighat Solan District Himachal Pradesh; Review: There are times & there are places which do justice to themselves. Kiarighat as such has nothing to offer if one is looking for picnic spots or monuments to see but it offers peace. Reached the once Dak Bungalow converted into the Hotel by Himachal Tourism in the evening on Saturday, weather was pleasant. Stayed there overnight and left on Sunday noon. It's bang on the roadside but you are away from the noise. The service is great & delicious food. I wanted to have an authentic himachali dish but unfortunately it was not available. The only thing which i didn't like was the lawn which was not kept properly. The rooms are all same with little musty odor in them. Overall it's a great place to spend a night & RELAX away from the hustle bustle of Shimla which is about 20 kms ahead of it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Toshiba REGZA 37HL67 37-Inch 720p LCD HDTV; Brand: Toshiba; Review: I researched this and other 37 in. TV's before purshasing. It was easy to set up, has beautiful picture. color is great. It took me a while to absorb all the info in the manual. But it is everything I was looking for and more. I have my surround sound w/ digital audio receiver/DVD player connected. I found out I needed an Optical audio cable to enable my TV to play the TV programs through my surround sound. My old tv didn't require that. But I figured it out after really studying the manual w/ tv and DVD player. I was so pleased and the sound is awesome!!! Also I connected another DVD player w/HDMI connection so I can play my vcd's that I make with my photography hobby. And they are beautiful too. So this has been a wonderful unit for me and I am a 64 yr. old lady, and put this together myself. Just needed a little muscle to get my old very heavy tv. out. I would highly recommend this product....it is great!!! cam/Dav. Ia.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Samsung Galaxy Tab (7-inch, 16GB, Wi-Fi); Brand: Samsung; Review: I have had this for 4 days. I have figured most of using this by trial & error. I am a senior citizen, but think I am fairly savvy with electronic toys. I went to Samsung's website & downloaded the user guide for this product. It is long and pretty good. But I went back to "Amazon for dummies" book for this product. It arrived today. I was having alot of problems with setting up mail using 2 servers & learning how to download contacts. I did figure one way, touching sender's name of my mail. But this meant I would have to notify my friends to email me to set this up. When my new book came (my downloaded guidebook didn't help me), I solved the problem pronto. I wasn't using enough pressure on the + sign on contacts page. Everything else has been pretty easy for me. The screen has beautiful color. Takes great pics & video. The size is perfect for me to carry in a purse. I ordered a sleeve from Amazon also. Not arrived yet. I can easily get apps, get games, use browser, access photos, and just have fun with it. I haven't downloaded music or pics from my computer yet, but that is my next adventure. This has everything & more for someone like me. But if you like simple and clear explanations for using this I would suggest buying the book I described above. Good luck & have fun! Thank You Amazon for a great product. Only reason I gave 4 stars was problem with getting info I needed. But maybe it was just me.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Sandy Feet Siargao; City: General Luna Siargao Island Surigao del Norte Province Mindanao; Review: Amazing family villas and delicious breakfast with a beautiful view! My family and I with some close family friends (another set of family) went there around May last year. The fact that it's quite a private area, you definitely get the privacy you want. Alexandra and the in-house staff was very accomodating. The breakfast was very filling and you can either have it in your villa or in front of the beach! We did island hopping which was so much fun!

Outdoor kitchen was so nice, being able to cut up your fruits outside/by the pool after a dip was a bonus! Food for us was my least favourite of our stay in Ubud Heaven. Quantity and quality was both disappointing. My partner and I did not get satisfaction from our breakfast. At some point we wanted to get breakfast somewhere else. Staff were attentive but could do better. In all our Bali stay, they may be the least approachable staff we have come across. Don't get us wrong, we did not encounter rude workers but energy speak louder than words. Tips: there is a lily and lala cafe across the restaurant, you can get delicious healthy snacks and super yummy fruits!; Rating: 3.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Memories Jibacoa; City: Jibacoa Mayabeque Province Cuba; Review: Hello, I booked this hotel for the Scuba Diving, through SunWing Vacations, I booked the trip in the morning and I was on the plane in the afternoon. Arriving at night in Varadero, the long bus ride to Jibacoa seemed to take forever and the reception area at this resort is like many others you will see in Cuba. Let's be clear, what I am about to write and comment is not criticism, just observation. I had originally booked a garden view room and upgrade my room on the resort. The Desk Manager did a great job of finding me a beach view room beside the dive shop! Room 1121!!! This resort was recently taken over from "Breezes" and it needs some love and updating. The beds, linen, paint and facilities have been neglected by the previous owners, the "Memories" has planned a major update for next year I have been told. The beaches are maintained, but they are not the caliber you would find in say Cayo Santa Maria or Cayo Coco. There are only two resorts in this secluded part of Jibacoa and the coral reefs are only 50' from shore and there you can find excellent snorkelling. The beach however could be graded better on shore. The beach restaurant is fab. As a Canadian,you can appreciate, you can have Salads, Burgers, Pizza and such right by the beach and the bar is equipped with adequate staff so that you are not waiting long for food or beverages. The pool was stifling warm, but remembering it is July, it is as expected, there are small amounts of tiles missing from the bottom of the pool, but not anything to be overly concerned with. There are many bars on the resort, so always having a beverage in your hand is not a problem. The Rec Room is to say the least needing love, there are many negatives, but, I am not going to list them, again to be fair, Breezes is to blame not Memories. The Deli, well....., I never ate there, that is a short fix that Memories could do something about. The tuck shop, cigar and souvenirs are your standard fare and are fairly priced. The buffet was very good, again remember this is Cuba, expectations vs limitations. If you visit Cuba, eat as Cubans do, fresh rice, beans, chicken, fish and meats were abundant as well as the Porchetta! Oh my The Porchetta Roast was off the hooks delicious, tender, yet the outside cracklin (lucky enough to get some) was great! The front bar apart from the below the Ocean Surface is where I spent a lot of my time. The Cappucino, was awesome! I am a tea drinker, but after dinner every night I went to the front bar and relaxed. If you are going to have dinner in the buffet, go to the front bar and get your vino tinto first. The wine was better from the front bar. Many people seemed to gather there at night as the breeze was nice and the bar staff; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Best Western Candia Hotel; City: Athens Attica; Review: We booked this hotel through airmiles and had an understanding that the hotel would be an older building, but , we loved the location beside subway and train stations. In being only a 7-10 minute walk to Ormonia Square which had multiple subway train lines passing through, it was all about location. Checking in had a small hiccup as we (couple) were given a room with two single beds, we checked with reception and he was great, said no problem, and gave us keys to another room across the hall that had a queen bed. The room was smaller and only had a shower, so we took the room with the two single beds and pushed them together. The view was great, although we were only on the 4th floor we had a great view and mountains around Athens gave a great view for sunsets at night. The bed (s), were not the best feature of this hotel, however the great balcony and friendly housekeeping who made sure, everyday, our linens were changed for fresh made up for it. The room is basic but had all amenities, fridge, hairdryer, flat screen tv. The roof top lounge area was clean, easily the best feature of this hotel amenities wise. The bartender at night was friendly, helpful, always greeted everyone and made us feel like family. The food portions are off the hook huge at this hotel, and she was great in helping everyone order just the right amount of food. The pool, this was perhaps the only real disappointment. We love booking hotels with a pool on the roof, but this was perhaps just an oversized bathtub, you can't really swim in it, and on most days it was very cold. We truthfully spent the only time, just dangling our feet in it. Again, it would have been nice to actually swim in it. The staff always were friendly and helpful, had a smile and seemed very focused on customer service. Who was the shining star? "Olga"!!!! love this lady!!!! Remembers guests name, always friendly and helpful, She works very hard and if the Candia is looking for their next supervisor or to add to their management team, this is the lady! The "lift" not elevator, is a hoot, after the double inside doors open you have to manually push the door to the floor open. It's small inside and not well ventilated. We enjoyed riding in it. The buffet - Very good for a small hotel, everything was fresh and hot. No complaints. Checking out - we had to check out at 330am to catch our flight to Zurich, the front desk booked our cab for us and check out was quick and easy. Thank you Candia for a great stay - love to come back, maybe some new beds next time. :); Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Vista Sol Punta Cana Beach Resort Spa; City: Bavaro Punta Cana La Altagracia Province Dominic; Review: So much potential, but falls short on so many levels. Let's start with the most positive thing I can say about this resort. I always post who was the "shining star" of the resort? FRANKLIN!!!! We checked in late in the afternoon and had the delightful experience of meeting Franklin. Awesome Guy! After checking in to the resort, Franklin took our luggage (3pcs) to our room. Again delightful, Franklin took the time to point out where everything was in the resort as we headed to our room. We instantly new where all the amenities were and he helped us immediately get oriented to our new home for the next 7 days. Everyday day, We saw Franklin, always working hard, always smiling and willing to help where and when possible. Please Vista Sol Management, if you do read these reviews, not just your customer service agent, please make sure you "commend" Franklin, he is a valuable asset to your resort. THE ROOM: 6309 - Very nice room, recently updated and clean. No stale or moldy smell which sometimes you just can't avoid because of the climate. Love the air conditioning in the room, set up 8 feet from the floor so that the cold air doesn't freeze you. The added feature which is nice, when you open the sliding door to the balcony, the air will turn off, until you close the door. The negative - if you want to sleep with the sliding door open, forget it, unfortunately the "noseeums" meaning bugs that bite you and you don't see or hear them, will get you. The addition of a screen door would be nice. THE FOOD: The good - the beach front food bar - this is a good place to get something eat whether to just snack or to eat a lunch. It's very simple, burgers, hot dogs, nachos and fries, but then a very nice surprise, the have a panini press, so you can make a nice cheese and ham toastie, or a toasted sub, burger and so on. they rotate, pasta, rice, vegetables and so forth. you can grab ice cream and soda pop and draft presidente beer there too. The bad - the buffet is very average, I've had food in Cuba that was much better than at the Vista Sol, this is the first resort where we had to get our own beverages, coffee, tea and beer. The staff in the buffet primarily, on remove the dishes and that is it. This can be very confusing at times and for those in Ontario who know about AODA, I have to say that the buffet is not very accessible. Again, not the staff who are to blame here, but, poor planning on part of the management and designers of the resort. You won't go hungry, if you like the basic staples. Expectations versus Limitations - in this resort, the impression I was left with, is the resort is cheap and could have done so much better with the buffet experience. A LA CARTES: The good - the Mexican; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Grand Hotel Blackpool; City: Blackpool Lancashire England; Review: Hilton does not own it, the new owners don't care about the people who stay there, there is not any climate control, there is a small rinky dink window that doesn't provide any outside air. We tried to check in the hotel a few days after the Hilton Hotel Chain abandoned this broken down property. The room was so bad, we had to book at another hotel in Blackpool last minute. They wouldn't refund my money even though we did not stay there. This is the reason why you don't pre-authorize payment to a credit card. Stay away!; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Hampton By Hilton Blackpool; City: Blackpool Lancashire England; Review: After a very negative experience at another hotel in Blackpool, We called Hilton Reservations and were able to book into this hotel for 99.00 pounds. We checked in around 7pm and were greeted by friendly hosts, who immediately sorted out our car parking, quickly checked us into the room. The room was average size, but clean, fresh and an awesome view of the water. The bed was a queen size, clean, comfortable and we slept very well. The next morning our breakfast buffet was well stocked, fresh and hot. Thank you for a great night and fantastic start to our stay in Blackpool.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Blau Varadero Hotel; City: Varadero Matanzas Province Cuba; Review: Was the Blau the best experience I've had in Cuba? After 48 hours of being back home, I have to say no. Was the Blau as advertised a 4 star hotel? Remembering I was in Cuba, I would say yes. After booking an ocean room view, I was given a room on the 1st floor facing the Ocean, but, I would have been looking at the pool and not have any chance of seeing the Ocean when I awoke. The foilage, trees and so forth are well developed and approximately 25 feet in height. The Blau floor configuration is misleading until you've had an opportunity to walk around the facilities. The reception is actually on the 3rd floor and rooms on the 1st floor are like going to someone's home who has a walk out basement. I was told to accept the room and come back in the morning. I refused to accept the room and I refused to check in until I was given the room I paid for. The reception eventually relented and gave me my room on the 6th floor. When you check in, all rooms which are even numbered face the sea and all odd numbered face into the inlet and land. The room is outdated for sure and some of the furnishings are lipstick and mascara, but the bed was fantastic. Pillowtop mattress and I slept like a charm on it. I enjoyed the food at the buffet, remember you're in Cuba, what is on the buffet, is usually what was recently shipped in and you have to have limitations on your expectations. With fresh meats, vegetables building a great salad was always appreciated. Many choices for potatoes, rice, cooked veg and a very good desert bar was also appreciated. Enjoying your build a pasta option with two choices of béchamel sauce or tomato sauce was delicious. What was truly exceptional on the buffet was the choice of bread and the quality of flavour and freshness was great. I'm not an a la carte person so I can't offer a review on them. The servers in the buffet are friendly, helpful and were always on hand to assist. The grounds at the Blau are beautiful and well groomed, the only criticism here is at 8am, hearing the grounds people using motor assist equipment to trim the hedges, trees and such on property. I was up at 630am most mornings, so it did not bother me, but I could imagine those who woke later being annoyed. I think they could limit the use of power to perhaps every 3rd day and use other means so the customer experience would be less intrusive. I always had somewhere to go to eat on the resort and depending the time of day, there was two options to get food, either at the beach or by the pool. The inside area of the hotel is beautiful, large and wide open. Many places at night to relax. If you are looking for a more intimate setting, try the Piano Bar, even though it; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London ExCeL; City: London England; Review: We checked into the Doubletree for 2 nights. You would think being in close proximity to the London City Airport that you would hear Jet Engines all day. Nope, the Windows are double glazed and 2 separate sets help block ALL the noise. The hotel is not the easiest to find, as the roads are oddly set up to get there, but once you do, you enter an awesome hotel. Parking is free (although limited). The front desk is friendly and quickly checked us in. Our room was a little on the smaller side but for UK standards considered average. It was well stocked with the basics and the bathroom was clean and looked recently renovated. The hotel has two, yes two, places to lounge. In the bar area, you can eat a pub fare meal with TV's and relaxing area to sit and/or you can enjoy a more formal and very large dining area with 16ft floor to windows overlooking the water. Dinner was great! We had two morning breakfasts at this hotel and both days, hot, fresh, delicious food. I said the Staff Go the extra mile. We had called to have the front desk order us a cab. The cab arrived however we missed our dinner cruise because the cab driver was not aware of all the road closures in the city. I asked the front desk for the Cab Company phone number to make a complaint, but, the front desk clerk, went the extra mile, called the cab company himself, lodged the complaint and resolved our issue. WELL DONE!! If you like to go for long walks along the Thames and visit some of the local area, once you pass by the EXCEL centre, there are lots to do. Thanks Doubletree for a great stay.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Prince Lionheart Wheely Bug Large; Brand: Prince Lionheart; Review: I got this for my little boy for Christmas, he was 9 months old. Now that he is a little older he is starting to push this around while "walking" on his knees (he isn't walking just yet). It's great that he can go any direction, so when he does back himself into a corner, he can easily turn around. He also loves when I push and pull him around on it. His feet are almost touching the ground and he is 30" tall. He is slowly getting the hang of using his feet when I wheel him about. Currently it is in his bedroom and it rolls around without any problem on the carpet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Bel Esperance; City: Geneva; Review: You could stay in other hotels in Geneva that are not as well located and pay well over 400 CHF per night. Or, you could stay at the Bel Esperance located right in Old Town Geneva and pay less than half that. For this you get a nice clean room, a good hot shower, a great breakfast, a friendly hotel staff, free internet, a roof top terrace that overlooks all of Geneva and our room even had a small terrace. It's also located right near public transportation that can take you anywhere in the city including the airport and train station. What else could you ask for? If you are like us and spend most of your time out of the hotel exploring the city, save your money for a nice dinner, shopping or another holiday. You won't be sorry. If we are ever back in Geneva, we will be staying at the Bel Esperance!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Elite; City: Sion Canton of Valais Swiss Alps; Review: Sion is a beautiful small town in Rhone valley wine country, however, there are not many hotels to choose from in town. Our years of travel experience have taught us that location is important when selecting a hotel and the Hotel Elite is perfectly situated in the center of Sion on Avenue Du Midi. It's walking distance to restaurants, shopping, wine tasting, Sion sights including the Castles and the train station. In our opinion, there is not a better located hotel in Sion. On balance the hotel is average. The staff is great, the breakfast is very good and there is a nice lobby and restaurant area. They even send you an email before you arrive, soliciting any requests you may have and another email after you depart inviting feedback on your stay. We think that is a nice touch! The room is very basic. It was clean with a good bed and a very small bathroom. In our opinion, the room could use some updating as it looked a little dated. Our room had a balcony and we suggest if you stay there to request a room with a balcony. We had a nice view of the town and mountains. The room for us was not a problem because we were there to explore Sion and not to stay in our room, except for sleeping. If we are ever back in Sion we would stay at the Hotel Elite again because of the perfect location.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Relais Maddalena; City: Rome Lazio; Review: We have been to Rome many times and have always stayed in hotels. This time we wanted something different and special, since we were also traveling with a family member who was celebrating their 70th birthday. We did extensive research on accommodations in Rome trying to find the perfect place. Well our research paid off and we found Francesco's fabulous B&B in the centre of Rome, right near the Pantheon. We did find the perfect place and our family was extremely pleased with our selection. We can't say enough good things about it. First, the building where the B&B is located is amazing. Entering the building is like stepping back in time. The restoration work that was done on the rooms and common areas is spectacular. I kept looking at our room and telling my wife how beautiful it was. The furniture, the wood ceiling, the decorating, the bathroom were all amazing. You could open the window and look out over Piazza Della Madallena, the beautiful church, the people, and see the Pantheon down the street. Francesco the owner, Barbara and the rest of the staff were so nice and extremely helpful. We felt like family. The breakfast was grand. You could even sit out on the terrace eating your breakfast and watch life go by in the Piazza below. In the evening, we sat on the terrace with a glass of wine. La dolce vita! The location is perfect. Walking distance to all the major sights, restaurants, markets, bakeries, gelaterias, boutiques. You have it all within a short walk. The cost for a room is less than many of the nice hotels in the area. We know from experience, because we have stayed in some of those hotels. In our opinion, you will have a better Roman experience by staying at Francesco's B&B. If you are looking for a great place to stay in the centre of Rome, look no further and stay here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: San Petronio Vecchio; City: Bologna Province of Bologna Emilia Romagna; Review: It was our first time to Bologna, so we wanted to really experience the culture there. There is not a better way to do this than to stay at someone's apartment near the centre of the city. That is essentially what the San Petronio Vecchio B&B is. It's Elisabetta's apartment where she rents out two beautiful rooms. The whole apartment including the B&B part was completely renovated by her. The two rooms she rents are modern, beautifully decorated, very clean with the nicest bathrooms. She invited us into where she lives and that is beautiful as well, including a modern kitchen where one day she baked us a delicious cake. We even had wine one evening with her and her mother, who was staying with her while we were there. Plus, our room overlooked a small central area where we could open the window and listen to life going on in the other apartments. It was a real italian experience! The B&B is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood within a short walk of the city centre. In fact the B&B was so well located, we walked to everything while we were there. We walked to the University, markets, restaurants, shopping. We never had to go by taxi or bus except for going to/from the train station. Elisabetta was so helpful and generous. She spent time with us going through a map of the city, recommended restaurants, markets and other things to see and do. We would come back from a day out and there would be fresh fruit in our room. It was a perfect stay! If we ever return to Bologna, we will stay at Elisabetta's.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Giulietta e Romeo Hotel; City: Verona Province of Verona Veneto; Review: The hotel is located in the historical centre on a quiet street and walking distance to everything. It is 50 meters from the Arena and Piazza Bra and within one street of Via Mazzini the main shopping street of Verona. You can also easily walk to Piazza Erbe, Casa Giulietta, Castelvecchio, Piazza dei Signori, St. Anastasia Church, Duomo, Ponte Pietra, many restaurants and more! It is also a short 20 minute walk from the train station. The hotel staff is so nice and will gladly help you with anything you need. The breakfast had many delicious choices. We had a modern style room on floor 2 with two windows facing the street. It was a very quiet, clean room with a decent size bathroom and shower. We were very pleased with the hotel and if we are ever back in Verona, we would definitely stay there again!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Star; City: Milan Lombardy; Review: We have stayed here before and for the price it is a great hotel in a perfect location. The hotel is located in Central Milan just off Via Broletto and very near Via Dante one of the many shopping streets in Milan. You can walk to everything from there including Castello Storzesco, Duomo, Galleria Vittorio Emmanuele II, Brera district, shopping and restaurants. The front desk staff is extremely helpful and they seem to stay as we have met them in previous visits. They have all kinds of information in the lobby about restaurants, public transportation, sightseeing and so on. The rooms are nice and clean. This time we had room 43, which was large with a nice closet, ensuite bathroom and a terrace! Too bad it rained and we could not use the terrace, but next time hopefully we can. You could spend more at other hotels in Milan or stay here, save money and have a great experience. When in Milan this is the only hotel where we will stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Palazzo Arrivabene; City: Mantua Province of Mantua Lombardy; Review: First, I have to thank tripadvisor and all the contributors who write reviews. Without this website, I don't know how we would have found this place! Second, I have to thank the Bini family for being so kind, gracious and helpful during our stay. You made our trip a memorable one. We have learned through our travels, to really experience the local culture, traditions and way of life, you must tour like a local and immerse yourself in the local culture. There is no better way to do this than to stay in someone's home like the Bini's and see how they live, and talk to them about their family and way of life. You feel like a special guest in their home and you gain insights into the culture that you could not get any other way. Plus, they are able to guide you in ways that you would not experience staying in a regular hotel or touring on your own. For example, we love eating at restaurants off the beaten path that are not frequented by tourists. Claudio provided us great recommendations to restaurants. He sent us to one restaurant that he liked that was well outside the city centre. It was one of the best restaurants of our trip and we were the only tourists in the restaurant. It was a fabulous experience! There are many great reviews already written that speak to the location, their Palazzo, the rooms, the breakfast that we do not need to repeat. If you want to tour like a local, have a rich cultural experience and stay in someone's beautiful home this is the place for you!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Budget Inn; City: Flagstaff Arizona; Review: We found this motel on Tripadvisor and we stayed here on the front and back end of our trip to Southern Utah. The family that runs this motel is very nice and accommodating. It is economical and perfect for what you need for one night. The rooms are clean and include a refrigerator and microwave. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom is perfect for a good shower and getting ready in the morning. The motel is right near Route 66 and If you like to walk, you can walk downtown and also there are many good restaurants nearby. Ask for a first floor so you don't have to carry all your stuff up stairs. Both times we stayed here it was sold out, so it is a very popular motel in town. If you are passing through Flagstaff on a road trip and are looking for an economical, clean, centrally located motel, definitely stay here!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kokopelli Inn; City: Bluff Utah; Review: You don't have many choices if your road trip plans include a stop in Bluff, Utah. I found this motel on Tripadvisor and was hoping it would not be too bad for a one night stay. It was a pleasant surprise. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, the beds were great and the room included a refrigerator and microwave. What more could you ask for? If you are considering a stopover point in Southern Utah, stay here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Inca Inn; City: Moab Utah; Review: Even though I was searching a month ahead, it was a Friday and it was very difficult to find a good place to stay at a reasonable price. I looked on Tripadvisor and found many nice hotels but they were expensive and most of the inexpensive highly rated motels were already filled. I finally stumbled upon the Inca Inn and decided to book a room. It is conveniently located right on U.S. 191 near Arches NP and downtown Moab. The rooms are nice, clean, with good comfortable beds. There is also a fridge and microwave in the room. There is a small pool that was very clean. My wife and I sat there and enjoyed a plastic glass of wine. Don't want to have glass at the pool! If you are looking for a very nice, inexpensive motel in a good location, stay here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quality Inn; City: Kanab Utah; Review: Located on U.S. 89 we stayed here on our way to Lake Powell. The room was a good size, it was clean, but the beds were a bit softer than we like. There was a nice pool in the back, that was clean with a nice area to sit. Good to relax there after a long day of driving. For a roadside motel it was very good overall.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Whispering Sands Motel; City: Hanksville Utah; Review: We stayed here on our way to Capitol Reef National Park. Hanksville is about an hour from the park, so the location was perfect for us. The motel was perfect for us. We requested a room on the first floor which is much easier when you have a bunch of stuff you need to take into the room. The room was clean, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. We had a few chairs outside our room in the shade so we sat outside and had a glass of wine before dinner. The motel is also walking distance to the Slickrock Grill! For one night in Hanksville, it was a perfect stay!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rodeway Inn; City: Hurricane Utah; Review: This motel is in a great location in the middle of town right on Utah 9. We were able to walk to dinner from there. The room was clean, beds comfortable and a good shower. The girl at the desk said they had just cleaned the pool, so we walked over there to check it out. No way did we go in that pool, because it was not clean! But, for a one night stay the motel is adequate.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grist Mill Inn Bed and Breakfast; City: Monticello Utah; Review: Monticello is not a big town and there were not many options. We did not want to stay in another road side motel, so we opted to give this place a try. After a long day of driving we were greeted by the night manager, who was so nice to us. We felt like we were entering someone's home. She was babysitting the manager's children who live on the property as they were out for the evening. It felt like we were with our grandchildren! She was so helpful with restaurant recommendations and things to do. The room was nice and spacious with a nice bathroom. We were there just for the night so it was perfect for us. If you are passing through Monticello and want to try something a little different, give this place a try.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Parkway Motel; City: Orderville Utah; Review: This motel is in a perfect location if you are going to/from Zion or Bryce National Parks. Dixie the owner, who also runs the place was so nice. Our room was clean, comfortable with good beds. We also had a fridge and microwave in the room and chairs right outside. Dixie showed us the two themed rooms which were so cool. We wish we had requested one of those, but they were already booked. If you are looking for a clean, affordable motel in a great location, you have to stay here!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Bed Breakfast Il Violino; City: Cremona Province of Cremona Lombardy; Review: During our three week trip to Italy, this was by far the nicest place we stayed. We had the Stradavari Apartment on the top floor. The apartment has expansive wood ceilings and many windows to bring in the natural light and make the apartment feel very spacious. All the appointments of the apartment are very high end. There is a nice size modern kitchen, a very spacious dining and living area, a large bathroom and a bedroom with a very large closet. These are the kinds of things you do not typically find in Italy. Artur and Anna are the caretakers and live on the property. They were always available and although their English was not that good, we were able to effectively communicate with them. The location of the apartment is right in the heart of Cremona, right off the main shopping street and a short walk from the train station. You can walk everywhere. We even walked one night to a restaurant on the edge of Cremona near the Po river. It was less than a two km walk. Giuliana is the owner and also a resident on the property and was out of the country during most of our stay. We did meet her on our last day and she was very nice to us. She showed us their largest apartment for us to consider for our next stay. She also emailed us some great suggestions before we arrived. In our opinion, look no further, this is the best place to stay in Cremona!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Antica Dimora B B in Historic Residence; City: Bergamo Province of Bergamo Lombardy; Review: Matteo the owner is the most gracious and charming host of this wonderful historic B&B. He was so nice and helpful to us during our stay. Every restaurant he recommended was outstanding and he was always available to answer our questions. The B&B is perfectly situated between the Upper and Lower Town. Easy walking distance to both. The B&B is a historic gem. You feel like you are staying in a museum with the period furniture, paintings and the beautiful rooms with ceiling frescos. If you are considering a stay in Bergamo, you must experience Antica Dimora!.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

I had the chicken bacon ranch which had kettle chips on it. I wish I got a second piece to take back to my room because it was just that good.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Johnny's Po-Boys; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This was our 4th stop on the Tastebuds Food Tour. We actually tried the muffaletta sandwich which was pretty good. I don't know that I would have ordered a sandwich like this on my own but I was glad we had the chance to try it (especially here).; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Laura's Candies; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Delicious!! This was our last stop on the Tastebuds Food Tour. I thought I knew what I was going to buy until I tried the endless samples. everything was so good. We were even offered 10% for being a part of the tour. While delicious, I did find it to be a bit pricey so that unfortunately limited how much I purchased to bring home. My favorite were the Creole Pralines followed by the Chocolate Pralines. I believe the woman running this location is Miss Rose or Miss Ruby. She was just a peach :). She made sure to let me know that they also ship which can be very dangerous.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Old Coffee Pot Restaurant; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This was another stop on our food tour. The restaurant was actually closed for the day but they opened up for us. We had the chance to try Gumbo and Jambalaya which were both very good. I was pleased and happy that the gumbo was not too spicy. It was very nice both inside and outside. I wished I had enough time to return because they had so many things on the menu I wanted to try especially the shrimp and grits.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Bubba Gump Shrimp!!! If you like Forest Gump you must stop by here just because. We came here our first day in NOLA. We just landed so we wanted a quick bite and drink before we explored the city. The shrimp mac and cheese was delicious. I was skeptical because many places I've been too who've tried seafood mac & cheese were just okay. Drinks were great as well. My girlfriend got the onion rings and was not impressed. She said they were just okay. That was a bummer.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Steamboat Natchez; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: We heard Jazz lunch cruise and thought that would be a great mid day activity. Getting on the boat was easy and even had our picture taken in front on a steering wheel. Just a heads up the package of photos is expensive. My girlfriend was feeling touristy so she bought it, I didn't think it was worth the price to be honest. When we initially purchased the tickets for the cruise, the woman in the ticket booth suggested we do the early lunch that way we could walk around the ship afterwards. Unfortunately, the lunch was barely edible. The people working looked like they didn't want to be there. If I had known snacks would be available for purchase I would've gone that route instead. It was extremely hot and humid that day and no where on the ship (except inside) were you able to get comfortable. Big mistake on my part to try and eat lunch outside. That combined with the heat, and cheap drinks really did a doozy on my stomach. We were allowed to freely walk around and were able to go into the engine room. That was really cool to see. We were provided with some narration and history at the beginning and again at the end of the cruise. We sat outside for the majority so we were able to hear him. Unfortunately we weren't able to hear the band outside at all. Towards the end we went inside to enjoy the AC and listened to the last song or two of the band.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Brass Monkey; City: St. Pete Beach, FL; Review: This was our first time visiting this area. While visiting FL our cousin suggested we stop by. The view was beautiful and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately when we arrived, there weren't any more seats outside. The inside looks like your typical sports bar and the bartender/waiter was really nice and accommodating. The food unfortunately could have been better. We ordered the potato skins and crab cakes.; Rating: 2.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: Soludos Men's Solid Original Dali Slipper; Brand: Soludos; Review: These shoes will seem tight at first. After a few hours they will stretch. They aren't meant to be worn with socks either, but you can put a pair of no-show socks on to stretch them more. after that they'll be fine. From what I understand they're more popular in europe - in the USA at first it feels like wearing outdoor slippers. a nice alternative to sandals, they are super light and breath well, so they're ideal if it's hot but you don't like to show off your toes or if sandals are just too casual.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: KAVAJ Wallet Men's Munich Leather RFID Blocking Wallet; Brand: KAVAJ; Review: This is a really special sort of wallet. It's a front pocket wallet, more spacious then most slim styles, less bulky then a bi or trifold, with just the right number of slots for cards and two pockets for cast and etc. the leather is really beautiful, and the snap is well made too. I've been using it everyday for several weeks now and have to say this is probably my new favorite. I used to be billfolds only, then a dual cellphone/wallet case, but this is probably the nicest thing I've seen and my current favorite "things in my pockets" solution. If I had any complaints, maybe the front strap catches on a pocket when you start to slide it in? Honestly it's just a different wallet all around, but in a good way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Dickies Women's Relaxed Fit Straight Leg Cargo Pant Fade & Wrinkle Resistant; Brand: ; Review: I am 5'7" tall and have a little extra fat at the very top of my inner thigh, and a nice round bum - which I have worked very hard to keep in firm-booty shape, muscular thighs, and wide hips. These pants are not just straight legged, they are plain out STRAIGHT. There is no room for my bum in these pants at all and it has been squashed down to the point that it feels as if my buns run straight into my thighs, where the fabric held snug enough to render the top pockets useless. This is more of a comfort problem for me than an aesthetic one as I have purchased these for work but don't get me wrong, this is a major comfort problem. I wear a size 13-14 depending on the brand of pants and so I ordered the 14 to be safe knowing that Dickies run a bit small. I recommend ordering them in an ego crushingly large size. These pants collect dust and dirt so be prepared to spend half of your day wiping off your pants. These are by no means terrible pants! The fabric is incredibly soft, and the inseam perfect. The average womens pant has an inseam of 30.5" while these are closer to 32" and brush just above the floor when I am barefoot which is a difficult feature for me to find. Unfortunately this does not make up for their booty crushing power! I will be wearing these around the house today in an attempt to stretch the seat of my pants before work tomorrow. I do not recommend these pants to anyone who does squats. The models shown wearing them are fairly... Rectangular. Yet, in the picture it is apparent that even on these models the fabric fits snug around the rear. Unless you are also built like a rectangle and your hips run straight and flat into your butt and thighs these are not very well designed pants. Update: The more I wear these pants the more comfortable they get. I read a review saying that they wrinkle in the wash but have not had this problem. After a week of wear these pants no longer crush my butt. In fact, they are just fantastic.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Skechers for Work Women's 76510 Compulsions Indulgent Work Shoe; Brand: ; Review: These are fantastic work shoes. They have just a little bit of arch support, so if you have high arches they may not work well for you. However, I have fairly large feet - and wide - and these shoes fit perfectly, and make my feet appear smaller than they are (I bought them in a wide size). I do experience some soreness in my heels after a couple of hours if I am at a station that requires me to stand in one place but when I am moving around these are the perfect shoes! The non-slip works great, and they are easy to clean off and keep presentable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Walterre Resort; City: Dehradun Dehradun District Uttarakhand; Review: Walterre Resort is a short drive from the Dehradun Station, at the foothills with a view of Mussoorie. Its a charming bungalow with two well tended lawns, 4 bedrooms and a large verandah - perfect for a snooze to the sound of chirping birds. If you are quiet and patient, you will be able to see a large variety of magpies and some large-beaked crows. The garden has fuschias, rare in other parts of the country, and many other flowers which will delight you. While the place is charming, with a stream flowing close by and opportunities for short treks, it falls short of providing the professional service that similar places run by Neemrana/Welcomheritage offer, at the same or lower price. So ensure that you inform the staff well in advance about your food requirements - they are not well stocked. Let them know if you need tea/coffee/other snacks because they do not serve these unless asked.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Alasia; City: Kasauli Kasauli Tehsil Solan District Himachal Pradesh; Review: The reason for rating this 'Very Good' is its location. More than 100 years old, the hotel's british owners were around even till last year ( she died this year). The property is a sturdy old colonial building. Stay at the Annexe - the view is nicer and its cheaper than the main building. The garden is not much to speak about but good fun for kids to run around in and the Annexe rooms open to the garden and long verandah. The food is average so I recommend you walk to 'Daily Needs' - 100 mts from the hotel, to get delectable ham sandwiches etc. The church, a majestic old building, is also a stone's throw away. The Kasauli Club and Sunset points are all within walking distance ( about 2 kms). Remember to shop at the Tibetan Market and eat hot Bun-Samosas in the neighbouring shops. If you want a quiet, hill experience, Kasauli is the place for you.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Grand Mumtaz Srinagar; City: Srinagar Srinagar District Kashmir Jammu and Kashmir; Review: It is priced around at Rs 13000 per night. It has the worst possible service - and i have stayed in hotels across the world. The staff is the most unskilled, unprofessional team - simple people who have no clue how to handle basic customer requests and tends to answer back - they just dont know better. The food is shockingly bad for the very steep rates. The property is terrible and completely out of the way. But none of these beats the appalling standards of customer service. You are better off staying in a jeep or something.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Taj Malabar Resort Spa Cochin; City: Kochi Cochin Ernakulam District Kerala; Review: It is situated on the water-front and away from the city bustle. You can sit in their garden and watch ships and ferries. It is 2 min from the jetty, from where you can catch the ferry to Fort Cochin. The hotel has a very efficient staff and great food.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taj Kumarakom Resort and Spa; City: Kumarakom Kottayam District Kerala; Review: The property is beautiful, with a heritage building as the front office and an artificial lake with geese. The staff try to keep you busy with activities - making it very idyllic. However, the pool was very unclean and remained so despite our complaint. The chef made the worst talumein soup i have had in my life - followed by a quiche in a sweet pie crust - aargh. I did complain about the food - think they should stick to only Kerala cuisine. The tea in the evening was a very sorry affair too.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Gateway Hotel Janardhanapuram Varkala; City: Varkala Thiruvananthapuram District Kerala; Review: The property is pretty with a nice pool. Dingy staircases, very mediocre customer service ( except the chef Manivanan who was great) and continuous diesel fume over the pool, are all turn-offs. But more importantly, it doesnt have a beach view- and the beach near it is really bad.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: JW Marriott Khao Lak Resort Spa; City: Khuk Khak Khao Lak Phang Nga Province; Review: Khao Lak is away from the bustle of Phuket. J W Marriot Khao Lak, is further secluded and has a nice beach to itself. It's a great property to visit with kids. The property has water and a connected pool which goes all over the property. You can jump into the pool from your room's verandah, if you are on the Ground Floor but from rooms anywhere, the pool is just a few steps away. The property has lovely tropical flora and they conduct a tour if you ask them. We enjoyed the Kid's play area with it's friendly staff. There are multiple restaurants and an all-day deli, which were all good. A great place for a family vacation.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Amar Mahal Orchha; City: Orchha Tikamgarh District Madhya Pradesh; Review: Amar Palace Hotel has an excellent location – right in the middle of cenotaphs and ancient temples. It is a quick walk from the river front and the Fort. The service could be better. The chef Tulsi Ram was very helpful and took care of culinary needs of our group.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: V Resorts Utsav Camp Sariska; City: Alwar Alwar District Rajasthan; Review: The hotel cancelled our bookings because they got a bigger booking for all their tents, despite repeated requests for keeping two tents for us and depositing the cheque for it. This experience made us realise that we need to stick to the traditional star hotels. Considering that this is not even close to the National Park, strongly recommend that you dont stay here.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: The Mud Fort Kuchesar; City: Kuchesar Bulandshahar District Uttar Pradesh; Review: We've been here before-it is a convenient 2 hour drive from Delhi. The property is beautiful though they could do more tree planting along the moat. Do go for the village ride on an ox cart and watch jaggery being made - if it's winter. There are sugarcane fields all around and you can walk down to where the sugarcane is collected, for sale. Do check that they are not burning crops as that fills the air with toxic fumes and makes the stay unbearable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Z Hotel; City: Puri Puri District Odisha; Review: The only nice economical place to stay in Puri, the property is 100 years old and stately. It is close to the beach and a couple of historic temples. The rooms are gorgeous, well lit and airy. But the garden has been left to itself, with piles of garbage on one side - which is burnt every day emitting toxic fumes. The front desk manager is indifferent and could be more hospitable. The kitchen staff is efficient and make good indian food. They dont accept credit cards and if you have an ICICI account, then you will face trouble doing online payment.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Baghira Jungle Resort Mocha Kanha; City: Kanha National Park Madhya Pradesh; Review: It is a little far from the forest so you need to drive about 7 kms, through a lovely wooded road, to reach it. There is a river flowing right next to it - spend some time just watching cows and birds on it's banks and the wooded area on the opposite side. There is a jaggery production unit just 500 mts away. The breakfast here is very frugal, please carry your own fruits, cereal etc because they serve neither. The staff is helpful.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Resort Bali Benoa; City: Tanjung Benoa Nusa Dua Peninsula Bali; Review: right on the sea front, with a lot of water sports options, do stay here if you want to get a local flavour of bali. there are massage parlours and local food joints within walking distance. the meals are very reasonably priced. so overall a great family experience at very moderate prices.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Camp Sparrow; City: Nainital Nainital District Uttarakhand; Review: If you are a birder, or just happy to be in the lap of nature, this is the place for you. The host Paras is a keen birder and photographer so he will take you on treks where you can choose to just laze about on a rock, in a stream, or frantically click birds. So you can choose the pace of your holiday here – trek all over for miles, taking in breath taking sights, lie all day on a hammock in their peach orchard or do a bit of both. But the thing that touched us the most was the warmth of the people. Just because we were craving for a particular kumaoni dish, the host got it specially made in his home. We were a varied group with some trekkers, all nature enthusiasts and few bird enthusiasts. And Camp Sparrow was an amazing experience for all of us equally.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Corbett Riverside Resort; City: Jim Corbett National Park Nainital District Uttarakhand; Review: the resort in right on the river kosi banks. a great place for birding of riverbed and foothill birds. you can spend hours on their ample, sunny lawns and take in the cliff view and watch horses ferry sand from one end to the other. i also loved their organic farm. we got farm fresh radishes etc for our meal everyday.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Pema Karpo; City: Wangdue Wangdue Phodrang District; Review: Pema Karpo is conveniently close to Punakha Dzong, where everyone visiting Punakha wants to go. But it's also away from the city so is nice and quiet. It has a lovely river front where you can do a bit of birding. The hotel is pretty basic and reminded me of an Army Mess in India. The rooms are big and airy. The loos are clean. So if you are not looking for anything particularly exotic, it's a good place. And the staff is very helpful.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Paro Penlop Dawa Penjor Heritage Farmhouse; City: Paro Paro District; Review: The place is like a museum so it feels quite unique. The rooms are big enough. There are no attached toilets. The view is not much to speak of as it's in the middle of town. the hosts are kind and as it's their ancestral home, you should speak to them about it. the food is basic but you can make requests. they have a hot stone bath which you must absolutely try. i would have liked more comfort. the place was dingy but i suppose old homes are made of dark wood and have limited light. they could still work on the aesthetics - nicer lights would help.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Altai Hotel; City: Moscow Central Russia; Review: the hotel is not close to any tourist attraction but is very close to a metro station. the suites are nice - airy and spacious. the dining room staff is very nice and most of the front desk staff is also helpful. but looking at the rates this hotel charges, it needs to have better service and more english speaking staff.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Park Inn by Radisson Rosa Khutor; City: Esto Sadok Adler District Sochi Greater Sochi Krasno; Review: the hotel is on the main promenade and we could hear and see the river from our room. the staff is very helpful and speak english. the waiters at the restaurant were especially nice and the spread was good. you can step out of the hotel into the main street of rosa khutor and also walk just 5 minutes to the cable car junction.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Bay Agonda; City: Agonda South Goa District Goa; Review: the beach cottages open up to the sea. during high tide, the waves lap your deck. the bathroom has a little garden, so it was great fun. the beach cottages get boiling hot in the day and as Goa has really poor electricity, the AC doesn't always work. the river view cottages are actually cooler. the staff is friendly and do what they can. my worry is the complete non-eco consciousness of a place, so precariously situation on the sea. they use plastic bottles, straws, the whole time. there is no water filteration so you are forced to buy plastic bottles from them. i didn't see anything being done about keeping the river or the beach next to the last cottage, clean.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Novotel Goa Shrem Hotel; City: Candolim Bardez North Goa District Goa; Review: the photos are somewhat misleading. it is all built up with no open space. it is far from the beach and their shuttle service to it, leaves a lot to be desired. stay here only if you like a lot of city hustle bustle. they are doing their bit on water conservation, but was surprised to see plastic straws, wine glasses as well as the staff carelessly dumping half-filled plastic water bottles into the bin mentioning 'green waste'. also saw them spraying pesticide right next to the pool.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Pench Jungle Camp; City: Kohka Seoni District Madhya Pradesh; Review: The property has less than 10 percent built-up area so the remaining is vegetation/forest. The management team, and the GM, are keen naturalists so they ensure you experience the jungle - they take you for nature walks, including one at night, in their private jungle. I loved that they had 2 inhouse naturalists and everyone is happy to point out birds and trees, which the property is brimming with. I also loved that they were almost zero-plastic. I would go back again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Lalit Great Eastern Kolkata; City: Kolkata Calcutta Kolkata District West Bengal; Review: This is the oldest hotel in India and the location is also choc-a-block full of heritage monuments.We stayed in the modern wing of the hotel which is cheaper but got a tour of the heritage wing. They have fixtures dating back to the 1830s and many other interesting artifacts. The cafe next to it is actually one of the oldest ovens in the country. So do take a tour when you are here and also step out for a walk in the bustling streets of Dalhousie; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World; Author: Visit Amazon's Emily P. Freeman Page; Review: Most of life happens, not in brightness or in darkness, but in the medium light of a regular day. And all those daily things the email inbox, the cluttered surfaces, the bag of old clothes, the deadlines, and the appointments aren't to be set aside by those who hope to live a faithful life. Rather, embracing all of these is part of what makes a faithful life. (from the Introduction, pg. 16-17). Simply Tuesday: Small-Moment Living in a Fast-Moving World by Emily P. Freeman is both a refreshing breath of fresh air and a gentle challenge. God has used her writing, particularly in this timely new book, to meet me where I am and to challenge my way of thinking. One of the biggest take-away concepts from the book for me was to celebrate my smallness, as a friend challenges Emily herself. We live in a world that celebrates bigger and better, doing more and resting less. Even in the Christian world, if you're not doing big things for Christ, you can feel like a failure. But Emily presents a different course, to sit and rest in Christ, knowing that I am not in control, but He is. Living in relationship with Him might not always look like worldly success, but how do I step back from doing things for God and actually abide in relationship with Him? How do I live faithfully in the mundane of an ordinary Tuesday? Emilys writing is inviting, personal and gracious. She is able to put into words the thoughts that I haven't taken time to think about, but know them to be true. She doesnt write out a one-size-fits-all formula of living but instead writes knowing that our creative God doesnt make us all the same and our lives will look different. To use her terminology, we all have different eight-foot assignments that God has given us. I enjoyed the entire book but three chapters in particular I found to be thought-provoking and well-done: Effort and Outcomes, Community and Competition, and Desire and Disappointment. Im almost tempted to tell you to buy the book for those chapters alone! I will leave two closing quotations with you, one from the beginning of the book and one towards the end. Small is an invitation to participate in something greater than ourselves. (pg. 29) Being small is a higher calling than we might initially believe. We are participating with Christ, in His work. I sense Christ asking me to embrace the days of small beginnings even when they might lead only to small endings. (pg. 224) Instead of assuming that all small beginnings will lead to bigger endings, we need to trust that God is using all things, even things that don't seem successful or growing, for good and for His purposes.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Breaking Busy: How to Find Peace and Purpose in a World of Crazy; Author: Visit Amazon's Alli Worthington Page; Review: Breaking Busy: How To Find Peace & Purpose in a World of Crazy presents many helpful, biblical approaches to saying no to busyness and to making choices that lead to greater peace. Our culture is obsessed with doing it all and being busy, while we run ourselves ragged, leaving us without purpose or energy to do what really matters. Allis writing style is friendly and easy to read as the book follows her own journey towards breaking busy and seeing what Gods purpose is for her. But she doesn't stop with her own story. She also shares the wisdom that she's learned with practical tips and considerations as you seek to make changes in your own life. I recommend this book if you are looking to stop hustling so that you can live more fully.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Brazen: The Courage to Find the You That's Been Hiding; Author: Visit Amazon's Leeana Tankersley Page; Review: While I don't believe that the author and I have the exact same theological beliefs, I still enjoyed this book. It was lovely to read and Leeana Tankersley puts her heart out there through her words. She is genuine and there were so many parts I read thinking, "Wow, so I'm not the only one who feels this way?" She gives a clear call to be brazen, to live without shame and to embrace who God has made us, in all our uniqueness. Her message of grace and freedom resonated with me and revealed my own need to be more brazen.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Unseen: The Gift of Being Hidden in a World That Loves to Be Noticed; Author: Visit Amazon's Sara Hagerty Page; Review: I loved this book. Sara Hagerty writes a beautiful book about finding God when we are unseen, not in the spotlight, and how these periods of hiddenness are designed to draw us closer to Him, who always sees us. The book follows the story of Mary of Bethany anointing Jesus. Sara manages to write in a way that makes me want to know God more and to pursue Him more. I always value a Christian book more that makes me want to put down the book to spend more time in the Bible and in prayer, and Unseen does just that. Sara provides a list of verses at the end of each chapter for continued study, which I hope to spend more time pursuing. I can't recommend this book enough.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: More Than Just Making It: Hope for the Heart of the Financially Frustrated; Author: Visit Amazon's Erin Odom Page; Review: More Than Just Making It is a mix between a memoir, a Christian living book, and a book on frugality/money saving methods. I found it to be a quick read, with many practical tips presented. Erin's story is encouraging that even those in desperate financial situations can have hope, because God will provide. The ending, where Erin presents her family's changed financial situation, was hard for me to read while my family is currently in a rough financial patch, only because it seems unlikely that we will be able to reach the level of financial blessing that her family has achieved. I recommend this book for the practical tips from a Christian perspective and for encouragement that things can improve. I received a free copy of the book as part of the launch team.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Title: Grande Albergo Internazionale; City: Brindisi Province of Brindisi Puglia; Review: This hotel is located in a tourist zone directly on the water. This grande old dame is very elegant and gracious despite the carpet being a bit worn. If you can overlook this you will have a good experience. The rooms are very spacious and well appointed including the bathroom. Wifi works well and is included along with an adequate breakfast. Arrange for hotel enclosed parking when you make your booking. Ask for a seaview room so you can watch the passenger ferries, tugs and larger ships passing by. The hotel is a good base for exploring the towns of Ostuni, Cisternino and Alberobello with the Trulli round roofed houses.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Miramare; City: Naples Province of Naples Campania; Review: This is an elegant but old and a bit worn hotel located on Naples Bay. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. It is walking distance to the old town and a large castle located in the bay. Many restaurants are close by making it a very convenient location. This hotel is half the price of some more upscale hotels down the street. The wifi worked well and breakfast on the roof terrace was amazing. Many good food offerings and a great view. Indoor parking is 20 euros per day. Arrange for parking when booking. Try to get a seaview room so you can enjoy the breezes and the view. Room 105, a corner room facing the bay was really enjoyable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Rivarolo; City: Rivarolo Canavese Province of Turin Piedmont; Review: This is an exceptionally clean and comfortable hotel with modern decor. It is connected to a small shopping mall with several restaurants including a steak house, some retail shops and a large supermarket. There is free parking on premises. Wifi works well. Breakfast is lean with few offerings but decent coffee. There is a ground floor restaurant in the hotel which is open for lunch and dinner. A 5 minute walk to town for more shopping and restaurants along with a medieval castle to visit.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Romantik Hotel Relais Mirabella Iseo; City: Clusane sul Lago Iseo Province of Brescia Lombard; Review: If you do choose this hotel, request a lake view so you can enjoy the 180 degree vistas overlooking the lake and countryside. This hotel is located about a mile up a road that goes through olive groves to arrive at the front gates. It's a very scenic drive. Parking is free and on premises. The hotel is surrounded by rose gardens that add to the charm. These is a lovely pool with many chaise lounges so you can relax and take in the sun. There's a phone at the pool so you can easily order a drink or some food. The bar, cocktail lounge and restaurant have fantastic views overlooking the lake. Good food in the restaurant and excellent caring service. Our luggage was lost and the front desk reception personnel pursued contacting the baggage claim office because our phones didn't work that well. If you are using a GPS to arrive the hotel is in Clusane, halfway between the towns of Iseo and Sarnica. These neighboring towns have many restaurants and also boat tours of the lake are available. Nearby is the Francia Corte wine region. Try to arrange a wine tour of this area. I highly recommend this very comfortable and enjoyable hotel!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Homewood Suites by Hilton Vancouver Portland; City: Vancouver Washington; Review: This is the 10th year we have stayed in Homewood Suites in Vancouver WA. Our experiences have always been good so we return annually. This hotel has friendly accommodating staff that succeed in pleasing guests. The rooms are spacious and well appointed. The location along the Columbia River affords a great walk along the water with terrific views. Three restaurants are located conveniently across the street. Shopping and more eateries are close by as well as a main road to Portland. It truly does feel a bit like home.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Deer Crest Resort; City: Estes Park Colorado; Review: Deer Crest Resort is quaint and rustic but also very appealing.

Well anyway, i attempted to put the lipstick on, but for the life of me i could not get it to show up on my lips! I guess i cant complain for paying 25 cent lol. I am going to try it without chapstick, give you an update.; Rating: 1.0/5.0

Title: Wet N Wild Lipstick Bare It All #902C; Brand: Wet 'n Wild; Review: I was really surprised how nice this lipstick is. It really thick and creamy and does last a long time. I have an olive/yellow tone complexion and it looks more tan on my skin tone. So if your fair skin, it will definitely be on the brownish side on you. It does not give off that ugly white nude color that you see alot. It is true to the word nude. This is my new favorite lipstick, i am planning on buying more colors.UpdateThis is still my favorite nude lipstick, i choose this over my mac because it is just as pigmented but so inexpensive.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: NYX Eye Brow Push-Up Bra, Lift and Draw Brown/Pale Pink Highlighter, EBPB01; Brand: NYX; Review: This is my new favorite makeup! I am obsessed with everything eyebrows because i have sparse thin brows, so i have tried many. I like this one particularly because it have a highlighter on it. Its pinkish but matte, which i love cause i hate that shimmery white highlighter look. Its a must have for eyebrow girls.UPDATEI originally gave this product five stars, but after using it, it has become difficult. It is too big and bulky, its hard to pencil in my thin eyebrows with such a huge tip. My NYX pencil sharpener broke and i used another one on it, it totally messed up the pencil. It wont sharpen correctly in the big hole which is ridiculous. It is just too big and clunky for my eyebrows.It is now sitting in my draw with the other forgotten makeup that i had great expectations for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Its for a person with really long hair or a big head person with jumbo rollers. Luckily i have a big head and lots of hair. I have not used it yet thats why i gave it 5 stars.

Title: L'Oreal Paris Youth Code BB Cream Illuminator, Medium, 2.5 Fluid Ounce; Brand: L'Oreal Paris; Review: I absolutely love this product!

I put on two cause i have some pimple scars on my face and it completely covers them. It has a dewy look to it all day, and i dont feel like im wearing makeup at all.

Title: Premium 4 Piece Synthetic Kabuki Makeup Brush Set From Royal Care Cosmetics; Brand: ; Review: These are gorgeous brushes.

Dont get it twisted, most of the brushes are made in asia, they have offices in the US...but they are not made here. They stink like factory, so i shampooed them and no shedding occured.

Title: Bare Escentuals BareMinerals MATTE SPF 15 Foundation, Medium Beige; Brand: Bare Escentuals; Review: I didn't get mines here, I went to mall to get fitted the right color. I cant believe I never thought about using this stuff. I don't have problem skin, but I did suffer from moderate adult acne a couple years ago and its gone now but left dark spots and some hyperpigmentation. This stuff will cover it up! Use it the correct way and you can cover major acne scars. I also find its easy to put on, so if I don't feel like sitting down and doing my full makeup routine I just use this and it takes about 5 minutes and im done. Nice coverage. I just starting using this so I don't know yet if it really improves skin, but I will keep you updated. Give it a try!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Bissau Palace; City: Jaipur Jaipur District Rajasthan; Review: The lower floors of this city residence are the hotel and it is a good place to stay. Granted the rooms need to be updated in terms of some amenities, but it is still a comfortable enough.. Our room was huge and full of genuine period furniture and other fittings, but I weigh 100 kg so the mattress needed to be thicker and firmer. The Lobby and Dining areas are especially attractive. I watched an artist refurbish the columns in the lobby, it was one of the best experiences that I had in India. The skill and speed of this man as he repainted the intricate detail on the support column was truly amazing. Management needs to be congratulated on ensuring this maintenance work is carried out, now get the rooms up to that standard and you would have an excellent hotel. The memorabilia is the stand out feature of this hotel and it is worth it just to see a part of northern India's history. I was there in late April and it was hot, so the pool was welcome and I had to get out periodically and warm up, great! It is hard to believe that you walk through the front gate and enter an oasis of calm after the frenetic street life of Jaipur. It is an easy walk to the City Palace, the Jantar Mantar and the Hawa Mahal so do consider this hotel if you intend to stay in Jaipur. If I can go back to Jaipur, then this is where I would choose to stay. On a pragmatic note the meals are good and reasonably priced, I did enjoy the choice at the buffet breakfast and the evening meals were also very good.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Tibet; City: Kathmandu Kathmandu Valley Bagmati Zone Central Region; Review: This is our second stay at Hotel Tibet and we enjoyed both visits. It is a comfortable place done in a Tibetan style with fittings and art work to match. It is interesting to sit in the lobby in comfortable chairs and look at the walls and ceiling, something new to discover each time. The 5th Floor bar is worth making time for. My wife and I have been here a week this second visit and have found Room 306 comfortable and clean. It is a twin room, so ask for a double if that is your preference. It does have a balcony which is pleasant to sit at and read or idle some time away. Like all places in Kathmandu power can be cut off at any time, so make sure your plug adapter comes with a fuse or reset button to protect your electronic equipment. There is WiFi available, so see the front desk to buy the time you need. Hopefully management will see an advantage in making it available automatically as part of your room rate. Other hotels do it, but remember you still pay! The house keeping staff are thorough and efficient in making your bed and cleaning through. We found the front desk, dining and room service staff at this hotel to be excellent in manner and in service, and we cannot thank them enough for making our stay so pleasant. The meals are good and the prices are reasonable, however if you want to get to Thamel you need a taxi as Lazimpat Road is under reconstruction and an awkward walk in the dark or the rain. The Tour desk is well run by Roji, she was a great help in planning our city tour schedule and providing a hotel vehicle and excellent driver every day. If you want better than a taxi then do book one of their cars to pick you up or return you to the airport. A less scary ride just about guaranteed. We got a taxi here, but we'll take their vehicle back and we consider that to be the best option. Try them and enjoy your stay Gordon R.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Surya Kaiser Palace; City: Varanasi Varanasi District Uttar Pradesh; Review: Our tour group stayed at this hotel for two nights and to this point of our trip it was one of the best hotels that we stayed at. Our room was comfortable as was the bed. We had no issue with our bathroom, it was clean and the water was hot, all I could ask for. My wife and I enjoyed the dining room and we certainly appreciated the friendly service we received from the staff. The buffet breakfast was good, though Indian cuisine dominated. However, if spice and heat are not your choices then there were enoughf options for a plainer start to the day. Lunch and dinner choices are good and if you want to stay in, then you can eat well and comfortably. To get to the Gatts and the Ganges requires a taxi but remember the train station is close, but taxis are not expensive, just the normal frantic traffic to negotiate. There are a few shops within the hotel, postcards and stamps plus some well priced clothing were our purchases, so do have a look. There is also a small but upmarket mall 200 metres up from the Hotel. It was a good place for an ice cream or a coffee, and it certainly was a quiet place. If you go toward the city centre you can access local stalls and shops, including a pharmacy if you need. We did and they were helpful and efficient. I like the look of this Hotel and when we go back to Varanasi this is where we will stay. GordonR; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Berjaya Times Square Hotel Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: My wife and I spent five days at this most marvelous of hotels. Our room was excellent and the view of the southern part of KL is great, especially the sound and light show of the nightly thunderstorm. The staff on the Front desk, the Concierge and the Big Apple Restaurant are efficient and very friendly. They made our stay enjoyable and very comfortable. Special thanks to the guys at the Concierge Desk, your efforts to find short tours of Malacca and the Cameron Highlands, that suited our needs exactly, was very much appreciated. If you can stand the usual heat and humidity of KL then Jalan Bitang is VERY close by as is Chinatown and Central Market. We walked and enjoyed the people and the older buildings, great! Most people you meet have enough English to get you back on track or tell you something interesting about that part of the city or the building you are looking at. A simple phrase book is useful for the basics - hello, how are you?, thank you, and where am I? - I used the Wikipedia version and it got some laughs and a lot of help. The Imbi monorail station is just opposite the Hotel, so you have public transport right there to get you around central KL. Taxis are good and we booked our transport to and from the airport through the Concierge Desk. They were on time and very reasonably priced for the length of trip involved. Under the Hotel are 7 floors of shopping. Girls you will love it. If you have not been here before then do come over. There are clothes, jewellery, bag, shoe and food stores galore and the prices are exceptionally good. Guys, there are some electronics shops, an indoor amusement park and an indoor archery range. At RM 150 for 500 arrows, it is cheap, so give it a shot while she shops. If you are going to KL for relaxation and shopping then do consider staying here. GordonR; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Berjaya Times Square Hotel Kuala Lumpur; City: Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan; Review: back in KL again but for an extended stay this time, we have returned to the hotel of our previous visits, the welcome is as friendly and efficient as always. The renovated room that we were allocated was well appointed and still with that lovely firm bed. Because we are here for 14 days we did ask for a change to a room with a separate bedroom, no problems for the staff and the change was made. Thank you. If you do come here then do introduce yourself to the Guest Relations Officer Karen Suparamaniam. I did and she was very helpful in sorting out the best way for us to get around to see the things we wanted.in and around the city centre. Thank you. This is a still a recommended hotel from my point of view, affordable, comfortable and welcoming. Bye for now we are out to Little India today and it is time to go GordonR; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: Hotel Landmark Pokhara; City: Pokhara Gandaki Zone Western Region; Review: We were allocated Room 501 and right now you have great views of Macchapuchhre, Annapurna II, III and IV as well as Lamjung and that is from the small north facing balcony. Go out the front door to the rooftop and you can see from Dhaulagiri in the west right around to Manaslu in the east. There is one potential problem, they are building three storeys on top of Moondance next door and I fear it will totally cut out these great views. Our room was very large and comfortable, the free Wi-Fi was appreciated and it is a good service, I can Facebook video call on it. We had a north and south facing balcony, good views and a cross breeze. This Hotel is well worth considering, the staff are helpful and the meals are very good and reasonably priced (for two persons it is AUD $15 to $20 with no alcohol). The buffet breakfast has plenty of choice and a balcony seat the watch the locals and tourists go past is always good. They have a tour desk and the staff are friendly and efficient, there was no problem with the Avia Club mountain flight I booked with them. The airport transfer was there and waiting even though our flight had been delayed, and that is always a bonus. The Hotel is well located for browsing Lakeside shops and restaurants and it is only a very short walk to the boats to take you across or around Phewa Lake. This is a recommended place to stay.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Taj Princess Hotel; City: New Delhi National Capital Territory of Delhi; Review: This the Hotel chosen by our tour group Exodus and it is a good choice. Our room was big enough for the two us for our 3 day stay, features and fixtures are very good. The Hotel has a lift access to all accommodation floors and the Level 4 Restaurant which is also the breakfast room. Turn right as you exit the Hotel and you are thirty metres from Ajmal Khan Road and the local market shops and stalls. From noon until about 10.00 PM this place is full of colour, people and wall to wall shopping. Clothes are cheap but watch as some stalls display a 'Fixed Price' sign so please don't try to bargain. Turn left from the Hotel entrance and go to the next cross roads for a pharmacy and for money changers, like always check there rates on the board inside. WiFi is good but costs Rs100 for 24 hours, you might ask for a cheaper rate for a longer time. The food is good and the service is excellent, the Vegetable Jalfrezzi especially so. The choice at breakfast is good, Indian and western tastes are catered for. The rooms at the back have a view of a tatty white wall while the front overlooks the small street and the hotel across the way. They have a roof garden for drinks and meals and if the weather is good it is a very pleasant place for a meal. We watched the fireworks on the last day of Diwali and had a great view of the exploding rockets which made a good meal even better. Our shower had a rain head and good pressure, though the water at night was cool to tepid while in the morning it was scalding hot. You have an electric kettle and a reasonable supply of tea, coffee, sugar and creamer that is refreshed every day. Housekeeping also supply two half litre bottles of drinking water each day.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Tibet; City: Kathmandu Kathmandu Valley Bagmati Zone Central Region; Review: After two weeks at altitude in Tibet is was great to finish up in one of our most favourite hotels. The guy at the desk remembered us and we were here over 12 months ago and we found that to be the same for many of the staff. Thank you very much. My wife and like the location, it is out of Thamel and generally very quiet, Friday night disco down the road withstanding. We have access to a local supermarket, money changers, pharmacies and Thamel is only a 20 minute walk away. The Yeti bar has been completed and is a very comfortable place to relax with a drink, snack or meal. The free WiFi is also a welcome addition. Downstairs in the lobby there is now a coffee shop with a nice selection of Danish pastries and cakes, a very welcome addition, The business centre has now been moved into a quiet room opposite the tour desk. I still have fun looking at the at the decorations even more so now I have actually seen some of the places in Tibet.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Ascot; City: Sorrento Province of Naples Campania; Review: We stayed as part of our tour group and it was a good choice, we had a ground floor room but others were very happy with their allocation, the balconies were appreciated by many. The pool is more than okay according to the hardier ones in the group. The hotel is an easy walk away from the main shopping area and does have bars, cafes and restaurants close by. The laundromat is 3 minutes down the street and reasonably priced. There is also a fuel station if you are driving, another bonus. A little further down is a Money Exchange that offered competitive rates compared to other places in the town, beware it is shut during 'siesta time' but opens later in the evening at 5.00 PM. Our room was a good size with a clean and well appointed bathroom with very hot water first thing in the morning. The biggest bonus is the kettle and complementary tea and coffee to fill the mugs, unexpected but welcome.. The WiFi was free and a good speed unless there are a lot of users, then you can wait a few seconds. The reception staff are efficient, friendly and have a good standard of English. Breakfast and dinner was included in the tour and more than sufficient, well cooked and presented. The breakfast provided for the tour is plentiful but has limited choice. Therefore I cannot comment on the standard offered to individual guests as they use the dining room on the first floor. There is also a well stocked bar beside the reception desk on the ground floor that has a beer garden for good weather. Be ware, the smokers can ruin it for you but the inside area is smoke free as is the rest of the Hotel. Lastly the wine and water offered to the tour group was reasonably priced unlike other hotels we have stayed at. In summary - a good location, close to the shops, has WiFi and a kettle plus it is near to a fuel station, money changer and laundromat.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Quartier Latin; City: Paris Ile de France; Review: Our travel agent recommended this hotel as we were able to have a Continental breakfast included in the price and it was close to the Seine, Pantheon, Notre Dame, Musee du Cluny and a heck of a lot more. The breakfast was a surprise; a wide choice is offered including cereals, yoghurts, milk, cheese, pastries and breads. There was always fresh fruit salad with side dishes of dried figs and prunes if you wanted. Excellent value we thought considering the price of quality foodstuffs in Paris. They offer fresh brewed coffee as well as tea bags and chocolate sachets as well as fruit juice if you wished. The room was compact, the bed was very comfortable, the bathroom was clean and the water very hot. The only thing missing was a kettle for that wake me up cup of tea first thing in the morning (or coffee if you insist). WiFi is included in the tariff and was more than fast enough for the little netbook we carry. The big plus of this hotel are the staff, friendly and efficient are over-used terms sometimes but these women and men do deserve the accolade. The owners are just the same and all show a keen interest in where you are from and try to help you make the best of your time in Paris. We stayed four days and enjoyed every one of them as we could easily walk to most of the places we wanted to see; including Musee du Cluny, Pantheon, Notre Dame, La Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Rue de Rivoli, Champs Elysees, Arc De Triomphe and so, so much more. We walked, and walked and walked observing the people, the street life, architecture, the galleries and museums. There were also the 'boulangerie et patissier' to look at, sample and indulge in - everywhere. If you want to stay close to the river Seine on the Left bank then consider this small gem; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Acropolis Select Hotel; City: Athens Attica; Review: We have used Acropolis Select on previous visits to Athens, as it is well located, quiet, and with super friendly service. The rooms are comfortable with firm beds and tea & coffee making facilities and a small bar fridge to keep the drinks and cakes cool. Our most recent visit confirmed our opinion; plus there has been some refurbishment of the rooms and the addition of a roof terrace offering great views of the Acropolis. The terrace offers drinks, snacks and meals and comfortable seating to wile away the time as you watch the floodlit Acropolis. The other welcomed addition was a mobile (cell) phone in your room which allows you to to make free calls, including overseas; but do check with Reception which countries are covered. We mainly used the map app on the phone to get ourselves around the many museums, archaelogy sites and eateries. However, we needed a pharmacy and it took us the the nearest one which was open; and much appreciated by she who was unwell. The nearest metro station is Acropoli which is a 5-10 minute walk depending on traffic, and traffic signals. The entry on Makryianni Str. is in front of the Acropolis Museum and the wonderful cafes and restaurants; which in turn is not far from an entry point into the Plaka. If you are looking for a quiet, well located hotel with great staff then try Acropolis Select.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Volcanic Peppers Bhut Jolokia Ghost Powder 0.75 Oz; Brand: Volcanic Peppers; Review: Insanely hot by its self. used in considerate quantities, it actually has a really nice smokey flavor. it is imparting a nice lip tingle and smoky flavor on beef jerky that I am making.

Title: Embassy Suites by Hilton Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel; City: Niagara Falls Ontario; Review: It is a good hotel. Right close to the falls. Recommended to go on the weekends when the night life is good. The staff is super great and friendly. Except when they want to over enforce the rules.

Title: Holiday Inn Resort Montego Bay; City: Montego Bay Saint James Parish Jamaica; Review: The staff is great and the people at the resort are good. Every night there is live music and activities through out the day for children and adults. I have to give a special shout out to Juan Reed he hooked it up for the boy. They have several bars nicely spread out. There is an adult pool which is nice. I loved the little island as well. The only thing that sucked was the weather it was a bit windy so we only got to kayak. They do offer snorkeling and sailing but the weather did not permit. Ask the staff about was popping and where they can guide you well. Just FYI the hotel taxi are going to charge you a lot of money. From the airport to the hotel was $30usd (it was a 10 minute drive) from 1 to 4 ppl so couple up to pay less.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Clinton Hotel South Beach; City: Miami Beach Florida; Review: The hotel is located 2 blocks or so away from the beach.

Title: Trickster's Choice (Lib)(CD); Author: Visit Amazon's Tamora Pierce Page; Review: I felt that this book was quite good. But I have read all of Tamora Pierce's Tortall sagas and found each quite enjoyable. But I still have many questions about what happens to the characters after their adventures. For example you do not really know what happens to Keladry after Lady Knight, or you don't know what happens to Ali at the end of this book and I can hardly believe that her life is uneventful. I don't think that i am alone in saying that Ms. Pierce needs to continue writing stories in the mystical realm of Tortall. But don't let that discourage you from buying this book, because it a good read with many twists and turns that make it more interesting than the first.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Battle for Middle-earth: Tolkien's Divine Design in The Lord of the Rings; Author: Visit Amazon's Fleming Rutledge Page; Review: This is an excellent book for those interested in understanding Tolkien's assertion that his work was fundamentally Catholic; I am not a biblical scholar, so I was very interested in the parallels the author was able to draw between biblical themes and imagery and those in LOTR. However, the effect of the book for me was marred by factual errors in referencing LOTR. [Ex.: she quotes the fact of Merry's sword being the work of Westernesse, then proceeds to talk about it as if it were made by elves in Gondolin!] There are similar errors throughout -- not a whole lot, but enough to mar the impact of the whole. Additionally, Rutledge cannot resist doing what she quotes Tolkien as specifically decrying: making direct analogies between a current political situation and the LOTR narrative -- in a one-sided fashion. Again, she did not do this often (and admittedly kept those comments to the footnotes most of the time), but the one-sidedness of the judgement detracted from the impact of her overall thesis. Worth reading for those interested in seeing the biblical roots of Tolkien's philosophy.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Ring of Words: Tolkien and the Oxford English Dictionary; Author: Visit Amazon's Peter Gilliver Page; Review: I 'knew' Tolkien was a scholar, but this slim book really makes clear what a remarkable depth of knowledge the Professor had about the way words are formed and develop over time.

Title: The Inklings of Oxford: C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Their Friends; Author: Visit Amazon's Harry Lee Poe Page; Review: I read the Kindle version on my Fire; the photos were absolutely lovely, but the captions were sometimes separated from the photo by 1-2 screens, which made it a cumbersome read. I have not tried viewing it with Kindle on my PC. I have a well-read-amateur's familiarity with the history of the Inklings, and as biography it is only so-so. On the other hand, it might be very nice to have a physical copy on hand while reading other biographies, or to use it as a travel guide if you are planning to visit Oxford, as the photos are excellent and really do contribute to an overall understanding of the Inkling life at Oxford.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: The Novice's Tale (A Dame Frevisse Mystery); Author: Visit Amazon's Margaret Frazer Page; Review: Good introduction to a new (for me) series. Interesting that the 'detective' is not always the point-of-view character, so that we get an outsider's view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Under an English Heaven: An Ellie Kent Mystery; Author: Visit Amazon's Alice K Boatwright Page; Review: I've been reading mysteries for over 50 years. I guessed some of the elements of the solution before Ellie but not the whole picture. Well written, with an interesting amateur sleuth (with a very plausible reason to be one!) and a nicely tricky mystery. Though I will never understand how anyone could eat a cheese and pickle sandwich.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The King's Hounds; Author: Visit Amazon's Martin Jensen Page; Review: The detective is an itinerant medieval illuminator, his sidekick (and the narrator) is a half-Saxon, half-Danish landless young noble, and the time is 1018. King Cnut needs to unite the various ethnic factions in the lands he has conquered, and the murder of a respected Saxon Lord threatens to unravel the tenuous coalition. Wulfstan and Halfdan are pressed into service to find the truth, so long as that truth is politically useful. Wulfstan, as a painter, is used to noticing details, and has experience with powerful people. Halfdan provides muscle and an insider's view of the habits of ordinary landowners. They are in the line of Holmes/Watson and Poirot/Hastings. Lots of fun.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

There was only one stair to get into the cottage. Staff were very friendly and accomodating. Cottage was very clean and well prepared. Beautiful view of the lake and beach. Location was key .... Perfectly situated on a small sideroad off of Hwy 60.... If you were driving by and not looking for it you would definately miss it. Close to Algonquin Park for a hike or day outing.

Title: The Dove's Lament; Author: Kirthi Jayakumar; Genres: fiction; Review: The Dove's Lament is a book which leaves us a bit uncomfortable. It hits you right where it should, in the heart. The book is a collection of short stories about civil wars and genocides. Each story in the book brings to life the statistics or headlines which we read in the news. It brings to life how common people, most of them defenceless, have been affected because of a war which they neither endorse nor care for. A war has no real winners. Beautiful writing.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Brutal; Author: Uday Satpathy; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: It is an out and out thriller. The pace slows down only momentarily for a few pages somewhere in the middle of the book. But, overall, it is really fast paced and engaging. There are many characters in the book who could be possible villains. Each one has a motive too. The characters are well drawn out and believable. Very good debut novel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: One Part Woman; Author: Perumal Murugan; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: The book is about the life of a childless couple Kali and Ponna. They are very happy with each other and have no complaints in life. Except for the fact that, they do not have children even after 12 years of married life. This story may have been set in the early 1940s or 50s though the author doesn't set a year, but it is relevant even today. The writing is absolutely beautiful. Considering that this is a translation by Aniruddhan Vasudevan, he also deserves applause. If the translation is so beautiful, I can only wish I could read it in the original language, Tamil.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Legends of Khasak; Author: O.V. Vijayan; Genres: fiction; Review: What do I write about the book 'The Legends of Khasak' by O.V.Vijayan which has not already been written before. The book is a cult classic in Malayalam known as 'Khasakinte Itihasam' which means the same as the English title of the book. I had heard lot of praise for the book from my mother, my uncles. The book has been translated into English by the author himself. And there lies its success. The translation is absolutely a delight. It is able to bring out the same ethos of the Malayalam book. But of course, I assume, no one can beat the original. The book follows the path of Ravi, a school teacher, who has been sent to a remote village to run the Government scheme of 'One teacher' school. The village, Khasak, has been living in its own time warp with legends, history, djinns and poothams. Meanwhile Ravi is trying to run away from civilisation, from all things familiar, from his past. During the passage of the book, Ravi realises he has become the student here. He is learning a lot from the innocent lives of Khasak. Soon the villagers we read about become real in the sense that, when someone tries to hurt Appu-Kili, the village cretin, we are ready to protect him. Our heart urges Ravi to come out of his solitude and loneliness and to embrace the world.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Palace of Illusions; Author: Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni; Genres: history, romance, paranormal, biography, historical fiction, fantasy, fiction; Review: Most of us Indians are aware of the Mahabharat epic. If we have not read the book, we have still seen many versions of the epic as TV Serials and movies. The story has been done and redone many times over. So, what makes us read the same story again and again. Because, everytime you read the book, there is something new that we will understand depending on what stage of life we are in. But still, I had no motivation to read the book, except that it has been written from the perspective of Draupadi. She is the narrator. That certainly piqued my interest. A woman's perspective. And looked forward to reading the book. And did it fulfill my wishes? Yes! It did! And it was much more. Let me tell you, the book is not at all preachy. Draupadi never judges anyone as right or wrong. She herself doesn't reminisce about her actions. Its just a woman's way of thinking. It shows Draupadi as a complex character. It tells the Mahabharat from Draupadis point of view, a womans point of view.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Righteous Release; Author: Richard Gardner; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: The book is the story of a 23 year old man, David Chambers. He is the member of a closely knit cult called the Eternal Fellowship who follow the Bible with a stricter interpretation than normal. They do not allow members to interact with other worldly humans as they are perceived as corrupted. They do not embrace modern technologies like Computers, TV, Politics, even makeup. David is happy in his life and is not missing anything till he gets engaged to Ruth. David realizes he doesn't love her and is put off by Ruth's bossy attitude. Though Fellowship members are normally engaged for life, David decides to break it. He is boycotted by his family and the Fellowship. Suddenly David is like fish out of water. He finds it difficult to adjust to wordly life. He is stumped by technology. Even simple things like newspaper and television are novelties. But, there is another motivation for David to break free. It's his childhood crush on the beautiful, Alison Johnson who is not Fellowship, and therefore taboo.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: The Bestseller She Wrote; Author: Ravi Subramanian; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, romance, mystery; Review: Life takes a turn when Aditya, a banker turned author, gets smitten by a young management trainee called Shreya who works for him. He is having a good time by carrying on a clandestine affair with Shreya. In return, he promises to set up Shreya as a bestselling author like him. Shreya shamelessly uses Aditya's contacts to land publishing deal, interviews and the works. Till one day, Maya, Adityas wife discovers the truth. Aditya comes to his senses but now, neither Maya wants him, nor Shreya wants to leave him till her book is launched. Aditya relies on his best friend Sanjay for support. Looks pretty straightforward. But there is a back story to it which emerges towards the end of the book. A story of jealousies, backstabbing and revenge. Check out the full review here - [url]; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: In The Shadows of Death: A Detective Agni Mitra Thriller; Author: Sourabh Mukherjee; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, mystery; Review: What I liked in the book - - There is no gore in the book. Though it is about gruesome murders, I am glad the author spared me the graphics. - The murders don't seem to follow a pattern. It is random women getting killed with hardly any clues like finger prints, dna, lost items. Nothing. Nada. It looks difficult to crack the case. - I liked the psychopath's ramblings throughout the book. He gives his reasons for killing the women. During the course, he feels the noose tightening and tries to put the duo off the trail. - By the end of the book, the psyche of the killer is very clear. He paints a scary picture. It is a good, light read and I could finish it in couple of hours. I would recommend the book to new readers, the ones who are not familiar with thrillers and want to check out the genre. It is also a good read for young readers. Here's my detailed review - [url]-...; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Rescued by Love; Author: Shilpa Suraj; Genres: young-adult, romance, fiction; Review: Thoroughly enjoyable romantic novel. I loved the characters of Naina Ahuja - independent and vulnerable at the same time and Arjun - So knowledgeable when on job, but so lost when it comes to love. Quite a combination of characters. The many characters in the novel are very well maintained and consistent including Arjun's brother, father and mother. The same is for Naina's family. Very well-written.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Where the River Parts; Author: Radhika Swarup; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: The words are beautiful, almost poetic,embracing you in an old worldly charm, of an era gone by. The book starts with the main protagonist, Asha and her family trying to cross the border into India. It is a mass exodus on both the sides of the border known as Partition. When the Indian sub-continent got freedom from the British, the country was divided on communal lines into two countries - India and Pakistan. Pakistan wanted to be a country for Muslims, however, India kept its secular nature. Asha and her family are living happily in Suhanpur which happened to be in Pakistan after the Partition. Initially, reluctant to leave their home where they have lived for generations, they are left with no choice but to migrate. [url]...; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Kalyana; Author: Rajni Mala Khelawan; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: The story is told through Kalyana who is the narrator here. She starts from her life as a 5 year old in the 1970s right upto most recent times when her daughter is 11 years old. The book has very few characters. The main ones are Kalyana herself who narrates the story. Then it is her mother Sumitri who has accepted her fate as a woman should but has dreams and desires of her own which she would like to fulfill through her daughter. Manjula is Sumitri's sister who lives with Kalyana's family. She has a limp and so is unmarried. The narration touches your heart. One can easily relate with the relationships between mother and daughter, brother and sister, father and daughter, even between two friends who are as close as sisters. I was also surprised by the mythological stories which Kalyana's mother tells her. It makes you feel their Indianness. They are a people who belong nowhere because surely the Indians will look upon them as foreigners and the Fijians look upon them as Indians. It did feel like I am reading a 'Sue Monk Kidd' book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Dormant State; Author: Dibya Satpathy; Genres: fiction; Review: It is a good political thriller as it makes ways and inroads into the mammoth political system, step-by-step. The protagonist, Aniruddh, is ever ready to do anything for the benefit of the people. It is his idealistic will to help people which takes him places. The book highlights the intricacies of the political machinery. It highlights the glory that can be achieved and also the loopholes through which it can be manipulated. I loved the character of Aniruddh. He is singularly focused on the upliftment of the people and development. All his actions and dialogues are focused and highlights the clarity of his thoughts and vision. I liked it that the author stuck to his plot throughout and did not add details to sensationalize. The writing is fluid, straight-forward, well-edited and never predictable. I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone who loves to read political thrillers similar to those written by Jeffrey Archer. I am ready to read his next book too, if he is writing one.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Pyre; Author: Perumal Murugan; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: A man loves a woman and the woman loves him back. But, does the heart understand the barriers or boundaries of caste? The couple love each other and have no issues. But, the society with its old customs and superstitions with no basis, cause people to do the unthinkable. In the book, a migrant Kumaresan falls in love with Saroja from the town he works in. Saroja elopes with Kumaresan one night leaving behind her father and brother. Kumaresan brings her back to the only place he knows, his home. It is an obscure village which has not progressed much with the times. To top it Saroja is not accustomed to the rituals and customs of Kumaresan's village, moreover village life is alien for her. She finds it difficult to eat their food or carry water for long distances. And she is also fair-skinned making Saroja instantly different from the rest of the village. Everyone agrees she is not of the same caste as them. Kumaresan's mother, Marayi, believes she is bad luck as she is of no use to them. How can she be when she has not brought in any riches or land, or gold? She cannot even cook what they eat completely ignoring that Saroja is a good cook but it is different from Kumaresan's. The final blow comes when the village decides to ostracize them. What follows is a life of punishment for Saroja. Every minute of the life she endures is described making you feel her boredom, helplessness and finally indifference. But in all this Kumaresan is a gentle husband who is trying his best to get Saroja accustomed to the new place and customs. The narration goes back and forth into the past and the present. The past is the moments reminisced by Saroja or Kumaresan. It highlights the differences they are finding in their current lives. The story is sometimes from Saroja's view, sometimes from Kumaresan's view. This may be a bit distracting when reading. It is a beautiful story and I enjoyed it. But, every time my heart would compare it with One Part Woman. But, that one is a masterpiece for which Perumal Murugan has won many awards. If we do not compare it with One Part Woman, this is a wonderful book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Em and The Big Hoom; Author: Jerry Pinto; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction, fiction; Review: The book is sad and funny at the same time leaving you with a lump in your throat and an uncomfortable feeling. It looks at mental illness in a different light. There is no self-pity or guilt. Em is suffering from mental illness and the rest of the family is supporting her in the best way they can in the absence of money and caretakers. Beautifully written.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: On the Run; Author: Izai Amorim; Genres: thriller, crime, mystery, fiction; Review: The book is written in first person in the voice of Pablo. It is interesting to note his innermost thoughts. They are hilarious at times, sometimes a bit dark. The book is very well researched. There is very insightful details on how the crime scene works. It is funny most of the times. There are some great characters there like Mad Dog who is a drug dealer with an attitude and a penchant for spy novels, Joe is a drug addict but a great friend, Catherine is the love of Pablo's life but she is married and doesn't want to leave her third husband. But, the best was Pablo's dysfunctional family. His father, mother, siblings are funny and weird. Don't we have them all? I would highly recommend the book for thriller seekers and also those wanting a good laugh.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: A House for Happy Mothers; Author: Amulya Malladi; Genres: fiction; Review: The book is quite an emotional ride. The anxiety and excitement of the new parents whose baby is growing so far away in India. The utter despair and emotions of the pregnant surrogate, Asha. She tries to be emotionally detached with the baby growing within her. She feels it is not fair that she gets more attention to carry someone else's child while her own children were deprived of the same. She sometimes hates the child, sometimes the parents of the child and at times, her own poverty which has led her to this. She is sure, this may not be her last pregnancy. All the surrogate mothers live in a place arranged by the hospital called as 'Happy Mothers'. The name cannot be more contradictory. All the mothers are there waiting to deliver other's babies while missing their own children. The constant fights, comparisons and boredom of the mothers makes you feel their pain. It was a good, easy read, a bit emotional at times. The author has brought out Priya and Asha's characters very well. Their emotional states at different times and stages of the pregnancy hits you hard. She has also briefly touched upon social stigma for the surrogate mother and also the real mother. In a culture where getting married and having a child is the highlight of one's life, what happens when it doesn't happen. Priya is still better off living in the US. The scenario would have been quite different if Priya was living in India. Read the full review at [url]. www.kaapitimes.com.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Tales of Sunshine; Author: Sundari Venkatraman; Genres: fiction; Review: Tales of Sunshine is a collection of 10 short stories written by Sundari Venkatraman. Sundari has given the book the tagline 'Human Interest Stories' more in the lines of Chicken Soup for the Soul series. I would love to see more short stories from the author as they are set in very familiar surroundings. Its an urban setting and the characters' relationships are very Indian. The book is a light read. I completed it in one sitting. My favourite story was 'Is Grandpa home?'. Simply because, this is a story no one has told. It is always mothers-in-law harassing the daughter-in-law and vice-versa while the diffident son is not interfering in anything. This was a good take. I also liked 'Breaking free from the mould'. It is in tune with today's times. Its a tug-of-war between the old generation and new generation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wonder Women: 25 Innovators, Inventors, and Trailblazers Who Changed History; Author: Sam Maggs; Genres: history, young-adult, comics, children, graphic, biography, historical fiction, non-fiction; Review: The author uses a very direct, young, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes funny tone. But, she gets the point across. After reading the book, I am feeling ashamed that I did not do anything groundbreaking so far, worrying about false ceilings. Imagine, how much it will affect the girls or young women of today, if they read this book at the beginning of their lives. The book shows that there is absolutely nothing that can stop you if you are determined. Many of the women featured have fought tooth and nail and done un-womenly things like 'teaching a class full of male students and driving her own chariot' in the 4th century. They have suffered humiliation, denial and betrayal at every step of their way. They have only emerged stronger and victorious. The book has been researched very well with lots of interesting tidbits about the women. It is a valuable read for all women and will make a great gift to that favorite girl/niece of yours. Full review on my blog www.kaapitimes.com.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: War Torn: Stories of Courage, Love, and Resilience; Author: Kenneth E. Miller; Genres: non-fiction; Review: The book is an excellent, non-fiction account of the work of psychologist Kenneth E Miller in war torn countries. Ken has divided the book into the different countries he has worked in like Guatemala, Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Sarajevo, Iraq. The stories, or rather, the accounts, are rather sad. Instead of focusing on the situation and the sadness around, Ken has his main focus on the human spirit. How they overcome such hopelessness and still be able to remove obstacles in their day to day life. It is upto you to take it one story after another. Either be depressed by reading the stories, or to take inspiration from all the humanity in the despair. It does make you a little sad. But, it will also make you appreciate the peaceful life you lead and to never take it for granted. And also, the story needs to be told. Highly recommended.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Abhaya; Author: Saiswaroopa Iyer; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Abhaya is a good novel for a debutante. The author has mixed mythology with some history. It is very well researched and beautifully detailed. Sometimes, the details are a lot which helps with the story, but slows down the pace of the book. Thankfully, it does not have spelling mistakes and grammatical errors. Overall, it is a wonderful book and a great read. I am looking forward to the next offering from the author.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Homegoing; Author: Yaa Gyasi; Genres: history, biography, historical fiction, fiction; Review: Homegoing is similar to Ken Rutherfurd's books on London, New York. Homegoing traces the generations of 2 half-sisters across 3 centuries. The sisters, unknown to each other, start their journey from the same castle. Through their lives, the story of Africa is told. And it is told very beautifully. Sad, tragic and poignant. I loved the first half of the book. It slows down a bit post that and the ending is very beautiful.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Second Chance At Forever; Author: Summerita Rhayne; Genres: romance, fiction; Review: Second Chance at Forever is a beautiful, mature love story with loads of romance and passion. I loved the way the author has put in the believable twists and turns. Revath and Stuti come out as strong individuals. The passionate scenes are written well, with no repetitions. I will recommend this book for readers of romance with passionate scenes. It is also a nice story of everyday people falling in love.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

Title: These Circuses That Sweep Through the Landscape; Author: Tejaswini Apte-Rahm; Genres: fiction; Review: Tejaswini Apte-Rahm's book is a delight. The writing is top-notch and reminded me of the writing of Jerry Pinto. The book has 10 short stories. Each of them are diverse and the stories are not related. Each story is unique and excellent. Read about my favourite stories on the blog [url]...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: No Safe Zone; Author: Adite Banerjie; Genres: thriller, crime, fiction, romance, mystery; Review: 'Action packed romantic thriller' comes to my mind when I think about this book. In fact, it is action packed with a bit of romance. It is quite a ride and I enjoyed every part of it. The writing is fast-paced and clear. There is never a dull moment. The characters of Qiara and Kabir are spot on and lovable, especially Kabir .. sigh. The book is not just about the romantic pair. There is a good, fast paced story behind it dealing with politics, trafficking and drugs. I would have also loved to read more of the banter and loving between Qiara and Kabir.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Kissing the Demon: The Creative Writer's Handbook; Author: Amrita Kumar; Genres: non-fiction; Review: Excellent self-help book for aspiring writers. I have never read any book on writing. But this one highlights the nuances, gives ample examples and some tiny exercises also to prove the point. The author has a friendly voice not demeaning anyone. She is fun to read with so much of insights into the Indian publishing industry.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: My Cousin Rachel; Author: Daphne du Maurier; Genres: history, mystery, thriller, crime, biography, historical fiction, romance, fiction; Review: Absolute thriller. With just 6 main characters, the author gives us a gripping psychological thriller. Excellent story telling.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Big Little Lies; Author: Liane Moriarty; Genres: mystery, thriller, crime, romance, fiction; Review: The book is an excellent read and I would really love to read more from this author now.

I'm recommending it for family members.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: (Old Model) WD My Passport Ultra 2 TB Portable External USB 3.0 Hard Drive with Auto Backup, Black; Brand: Western Digital; Review: Simple as a giant memory stick. Used it for backup prior to a Windows re-installation. Took a long time (several hours) to run the backup of ~250GB but that probably had as much to do with fragmentation of the drive I was backing up. I like the little storage pouch; can keep the custom USB cable with it easier.; Rating: 4.0/5.0

About once per day the Asus RT-N1 3U router would drop offline. Cycling power would bring it back up without touching the cable modem. Plugged this new one in and it hasn't hiccuped the first time. Have enjoyed the USB disk drive hung off of it. Can bring up photos from the USB drive over the internet. Also have a wireless printer connected to it.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | amazon_Electronics |

Title: Rest Right 100% Cotton Body Pillow Protector, 20 x 48-White, 1'8" x 4'6"; Brand: Rest Right; Review: The fabric of this case feels really nice (having a linen-feel to it), but it's awful when you try to wash it. Every time you wash it collects all the pills/lint from other fabrics. It essentially is the lint remover function in a dryer. The whole thing would be covered in lint/pills. I have gone through so many lint rollers to clean this after a wash. I've even tried to rewash it and dry it on its own, it didn't help. Finally, I gave up and threw it away (even though when de-pilled/de-linted it looked really nice). I wish I took a photo, but I was so mad I just threw it in the trash.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Besties Handheld Milk Frother Stainless Steel Battery Powered Whisk for Eggs Cappuccino Protein Shakes Latte; Brand: Besties Coffee; Review: This works really well and has impressed all my friends that I've had over for coffee.

Title: RioRand Stainless Steel Body & Adjustable Ceramic Conical Burr Manual Coffee Grinder; Brand: RioRand; Review: This works really well. I was tired of either grinding my coffee beans at the store, with the electric grinder at home (so loud it excites the dogs, need an extension cord, and really annoying to clean), but this allows you to grind as needed (keeping your coffee fresh and tasting great!), and it's very easy to clean. It actually takes a long time to grind the beans (especially if you're making a big pot), but I don't mind because it's adding some arm exercise. Last thing, I really like that it comes with the carrying case and cleaning brush; I didn't know that it came with that!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Newpoint International Inc. Microsuede Body Pillow Cover With Double Sided Zippers, Medium Blue; Brand: Newpoint International Inc; Review: I like that there are two ends with zippers (but I wish that the zipper would extend just an inch further). My case ripped and I've had to sew it because it just needs an inch more to fit the pillow easier. Otherwise, the microsuede feels great and looks great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: niceeshop(TM) Mini Table Dust Vaccum Cleaner Red Beetles Prints Design; Brand: niceeshop; Review: I like how this looks on my desk! It is a conversation starter. It does pick up fairly large items (e.g., tiny stones), but smaller pieces of lint and dust get more caught in the bristles than actually get sucked up by the vacuum so it's not as functional as an actual vacuum cleaner, but at least pens and things won't get sucked up in this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It constantly says things like "tap Roomba's bumper" and will stop and make a louder than usual noise while cleaning.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: TAOSON Silky Soft Satin Body Pillow Cover Pillowcase Pillow Protector Cushion Cover with Zippers (21"x54",Navy Blue); Brand: TAOSON; Review: I bought two of these, but after a few washes they are starting to look cheap, fraying, and are not for longer than 6 months or more of use.

Title: TOP TOP-300 Renewable/Rechargeable Wireless Mini Dehumidifier w/Moisture Indicator-Suited for Camera Storage, Closet, Jewelry Box, Lockers and Gun/Document Safes; Brand: TOP; Review: I bought two of these, and on top of them not having English translations to even indicate whether "wet" or "dry" and needs to be recharged (the only way I found this out was through looking at the online photo of the product description), one of them stopped working after 1 month (I kept charging it and it did not change from "wet" to "dry"). When I looked online to see what I could do about it, a message popped up saying the warranty for this item is only for a month after the purchase date or something to that affect. I had to throw away. It was a waste of money and I recommend purchasing the Eva-Dry dehumidifier instead (I've had mine for over 10 years and it still works).; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Frigidaire 50-Pint Dehumidifier with Effortless Humidity Control, White; Brand: Frigidaire; Review: This works very well like all the other reviews state, i.e., it has worked well for over 6 months of continuous use now (it works best in an open space not by any other furniture, and it has always stayed at the desired humidity level - I placed a humidity monitor near it and they are always both at the same percentage or within 1-2% of each other). I am giving it 4/5 stars because the receptacle where the water collects, is unnecessarily hard to clean! I read other reviewers saying this, but I ignored it and bought this humidifier anyways because I thought, "big deal!" It turns out, it is. The water even with quick, regular disposal, eventually develops scum, mold, and what looked like black slime/mold at the bottom of the tank, up the sides, all around. The water collecting tank has all these weird parts that jut out and make it impossible to clean even with a baby bottle scrubber, etc. I soaked it in mixtures of vinegar, bleach, tried everything, but parts of it are permanently stained in orangish-red mold colors. I don't know if I'd buy this again, next time I'm going to look for something that has a water bin that is easier to clean.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Brita 636178 FBA_35034 Water Dispenser and Filter, 18 Cup Ultramax, Grey; Brand: Brita; Review: This is impossible to clean! I've had two of these now and unfortunately, both were the same way - that's just how they are made. You have to Youtube how to clean this and it is so frustrating trying to get the white tray part off (the big white piece that the filter goes in). This last time I tried to clean the thing, resulted in a large crack on the outside. The only good thing about this is the size, but the maintenance is really difficult (trust me, I've had these two over the last 4 years).; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: 1home Universal Tabletop TV Stand Pedestal Mount Monitor Riser fits 22”-65” Screens; Brand: 1home; Review: Can't believe it, this really works and is made of great quality. For the price, I really can't believe it. It came with all different screws/hardware so it will fit any tv up to the weight limit. WOW. so glad I bought this, I accidentally threw away the original stand and this worked like a charm. I like that it is adjustable.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Home_and_Kitchen |

Title: Ocean Breeze Hideaway; City: Kihei Maui Hawaii; Review: Hello, We stayed at the Ocean Breeze Hideaway in Maui in July of 2009 as part of our Honeymoon and it was a great Bed and Breakfast. Bob, one of the owners was such a nice man and he made us marvelous breakfasts every morning. He also provided us with some great advice on where to go explore on the island. The room (Coral Suite) was nice and tidy with lots of privacy. It is in a great location, a short drive away from many beautiful beaches and other attractions and restaurants. I would recommend this bed and breakfast to any traveler who doe not enjoy staying at big resorts and would like a more intimate vacation.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Ala aina Ocean Vista; City: Kipahulu Maui Hawaii; Review: We stayed in Kipahulu at the Ala'aina Ocean Vista as part of our Honeymoon in July 2009. The bed and breakfast was very private, tucked away on a hilly area overlooking the ocean. The bedroom was very nice with little geckos coming in to say Hi, which did not bother us really. The bathroom was beautiful with a two person shower - very nice for a honeymoon. We had an outdoor kitchen with a BBQ. Make sure to bring your own food from a grocery store as the owners only provide a few things for breakfast. Our fridge was not working while we were there but the owners made sure to help us out by trying to fix it and by putting all our food into coolers. Our fish kind of spoiled but everything else stayed fairly cool under the circumstances. We were pleased that the owners Sam and Mercury were very helpful with this situation. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves a lot. There was so much to do in the area and I would recommend staying here for at least two nights to fully see everything. But be prepared to do a lot of driving to get to these spots. Very nice end to our honeymoon!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Millhollow Bed Breakfast; City: Meaford Grey County Ontario; Review: This is a beautiful bed and breakfast with attention to every single detail. Milan and Paula are amazing hosts. And the breakfast is impeccable - fruit, yogurt, baked goods, eggs cooked any way you like or pancakes/french toast, toast, all sorts of jams - best breakfast I've had in a long time! Thank you so much for an amazing stay! We will most definitely be back!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Playa Paraiso Hotel; City: Cayo Coco Jardines del Rey Archipelago Ciego de Avila Province Cub; Review: We stayed here mid-May, expecting a four star resort. I've been to Cuba 5 times before and know that the food is not like North American food. I'm not a picky eater by any means but the food here was horrible! First off there was a shortage of food - one day at the buffet, there was only a single plate of sliced watermelon in the fruit section. We saw some crazy things at the buffet such as limp spaghetti floating immersed in very watery tomato sauce with chunks of cut up hot dog floating around in it. One day at lunch, they were grilling whole fish (that tasted like it had been out of the ocean for 5 years) and then the next day we saw the same fish with head and tail on mixed with pasta in the buffet. -disgusting. I was travelling with my two year old and really struggled to find things for the poor kid to eat - some meals it was bread and butter and pineapple. Please please please if you have kids, do not come to this resort. They ran out of pizza dough early on in our trip at the snack bar so no pizza available for a few days. The yogurt at the buffet looked like milk - it was so watery like they had watered it down. I could go on and on about the horrible food this resort had but I think my examples above are enough. The hotel should be ashamed of themselves. Like I said, I've stayed at resorts in Cuba before - in Varadero, in Cayo Coco, in Holguin and I always was satisfied with the food but this place was a disaster. Beach was nice, staff was nice, resort was ok - it does not look like a brand new resort - it looks at least 5 or 6 years old. Save your money, save your time, save your appetite and do not go to this resort!!!!; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sheraton Kona Resort Spa at Keauhou Bay; City: Kailua Kona Island of Hawaii Hawaii; Review: This resort was just incredible from the gorgeous pool with huge waterslide to the clean & spacious rooms to the perfect location of the hotel perched right on volcanic rock overlooking the ocean. The service and cleanliness was top-notch. You can book excursions through the resort. I highly recommend doing the night snorkel with the gentle manta rays that live just outside the resort. What a highlight of our trip, simply exhilarating. The food at Rays on the Bay is great, definitely overpriced but you are also paying for the incredible ambiance of the restaurant. It was one of the prettiest restaurants I've ever eaten at. Now that we are on the topic of food, please do yourself a favour and take a 15 minute drive in the morning to have breakfast at the Coffee Shack instead of the hotel. This "shack" has the most breathtaking view of south Kona on their two large balconies. The food is the best breakfast food you'll ever have in your life - using all local ingredients. Fresh baked banana & coconut bread, gigantic creative omelettes, French toast using homemade macadamia but bread, honestly, I wish I could have eaten there more than twice. And they serve the best 100% Kona coffee there. Get directions from the hotel staff, you can thank me later! Overall, an unforgettable resort and loved Kona!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach; City: Honolulu Oahu Hawaii; Review: This hotel is amazing! Free wifi, great buffet breakfast included on a lovely rooftop balcony and a phenomenal location a stone's throw from the beach. What more could you ask for? Rooms are clean, a tad small but who spends any time in the room anyway while in Waikiki? If you are a seafood lover, I highly recommend eating dinner or lunch at Tiki's bar & grill just next door at the Aston Waikiki beach hotel. Their seafood is so fresh, it's unbelievable. The Hyatt place also provides beach towels that you can exchange any time of day. It's worth it to do valet parking because if you opt to do self-parking, they can't guarantee you will find a parking spot at all times of day - it's limited. They have a great happy hour in the lobby too. Overall, had a wonderful stay at the Hyatt Place Waikiki!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Turtle Bay Resort; City: Kahuku Oahu Hawaii; Review: Turtle Bay is by far one of the best resorts I've ever stayed at. It's pricey but well worth it! Everything is immaculate from the rooms to the pool area to the lobby and restaurants. My favourite thing about this resort is the unique location. On one side you have a beach with big waves. At sunset, you can sit by the pool overlooking the ocean with a cocktail and watch some incredible surfers ride the waves. On the other side of the hotel is a quaint bay with hardly any waves, perfect for swimming and children. You get the best of both worlds! And Haleiwa is a short drive away too! Any of the restaurants you eat at are very good. We loved Lei Lei's on the golf course especially for dinner. If you venture out to town to eat dinner, you will have some of the best sushi of your life at Banzai Sushi! Make sure to make reservations though. I will definitely be back and hopefully for longer next time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: The Twilight Saga: The Official Illustrated Guide; Author: Visit Amazon's Stephenie Meyer Page; Review: I am a Twilight lover... I have re-read my books numerous times. I did enjoy reading this book but I was a little dissappointed. I thought it would be lots of NEW information about our favorite characters, but having read the books so much I knew most of this stuff. I was excited to learn a few new things but it was just not what I was expecting. This is probably great for the new Twilight fans but for those of us that have been addicted for a while, it was just less than what I expected. I will keep it just to have it part of my Twilight collection but it won't be one that I re-read. Thinking about it, I really wish Mrs. Meyers would have took her time and energy to finish "Midnight Sun" instead of this, BUT beggars can't be choosers...; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Her Perfect Revenge; Author: Visit Amazon's Anna Mara Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book. It pulled me in and kept me interested. It was so well written that, I could feel what the characters' were feeling. And there were several times I laughed out loud. I would love to read more of her books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Private Games; Author: Visit Amazon's Tawny Taylor Page; Review: I only read the first 2 stories and then I deleted it from my Kindle... Not my type of reading. It was pretty much porn on paper - there was no "love" story and I would agree the characters lack development. The endings were rushed - I was very disappointed... I am glad I didn't pay for it...; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Maid for the Billionaire: Ruth Cardello (Legacy Collection); Author: Visit Amazon's Ruth Cardello Page; Review: I enjoyed this book - It drew me right in (definitely not a slow starter). I was laughing and crying with the characters - I enjoyed it. I will get her others books when they come out as well.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Maddy's Oasis; Author: Visit Amazon's Lizzy Ford Page; Review: I enjoyed this book. It was easy to like the characters and the story was well written. It was also a good quick read - I finished in a day. It was tame as far as sexual content but that didn't take away from the chemistry between the main characters. I would read other books by this author.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Always the Last to Know; Author: Visit Amazon's Crystal Bowling Page; Review: I really enjoyed this book. The humor drew me in but the characters kept me involved in the book. I laughed at the main character Jess, she was down to earth although somewhat naive. Riley made my heart melt - who doesn't love a man that can make you laugh! I was a little let down at the ending, the author teases you with all that sexual tension and then...never truly unleashes it. Over-all it was a good book and the only thing that kept it from 5 stars was the ending. I hope she writes more I will definitely read them!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Love a Little Sideways (The Kowalskis); Author: Visit Amazon's Shannon Stacey Page; Review: This is about the sister in the family, so I was excited that her story was finally coming out. I was not as good as the others but it was great to re-visit the other members of the Kowalski Family. The writing is always great by Shannon Stacey and the characters are likable and have wonderful conversations! Never disappointed in this family series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Geek Girl and the Scandalous Earl (Geek Girls); Author: Visit Amazon's Gina Lamm Page; Review: It was OK. The writing was good and I enjoyed the characters but the whole idea of time traveling just didn't appeal to me.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Play With Me (Grover Beach Team); Author: Piper Shelly; Review: I just wish my high school romances were like this! I enjoyed the book and the writing was great. I read the first one "Play With Me" and liked it so much that I wanted to read the book from Ryan's perspective. I love the companion books where you can "hear" the other side! It was well written, I got pulled into it right away and loved all the characters! Of course Ryan is my favorite!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Breathless: Jesse Book 1 (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Eve Carter Page; Review: This story line had potential, but the writing was bad. It seemed to be repeating the same thing over and over. The conversations were awkward between the characters. The characters were not likable to me... The Nikki was wishy-washy and whiney while the Jesse was not believable. He went from bad boy to choir boy because of a girl who couldn't handle him being him... I was very disappointed. AND the story didn't even end - it had a cliff hanger that leads into another book that I have NO intention to buy.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Dare You To; Author: Visit Amazon's Katie McGarry Page; Review: It was well written. I enjoyed Ryan and I was glad he found the strength to stand up for what he believed. I had a hard time with Elisabeth/Beth, she seems to be running scared most of the time, fighting for the wrong people but finally with some love from good people she does what she has to do. They are both products of the lives they were born into, but they find the strength to be what they want to be.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Wingman (Woman); Author: Visit Amazon's Bella Jewel Page; Review: I liked the main character Tia - she made me laugh. She started off as a strong confident woman but as the story goes on she seems more of a push over. I went back and forth with what I wanted her to do - make a stand or be patient. The BF Autumn was somewhat confusing and didn't add much to the story but to tease you with her "story". Reign was likable when he was with Tia but a total jerk otherwise. I liked this book - I love books with strong, funny women and the men who love them!; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Falling Down (Rockstar) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Anne Mercier Page; Review: If you are looking for steamy sex scenes this is the book for you. If you are like me and want that AND great dialog, character development and interesting story line then, don't waste your time... The characters are all very "high school", I love characters that know how to have fun and banter back and forth but this was not that. They argued, then had sex, they cracked on each other, then had sex, they had drama, and then sex again. I think it had potential, but it was like what couples in high school did, not 20 somethings, they even talked like teenagers. And the author just seemed to insert drama randomly, not really adding to the story or their relationship. I was disappointed because of the other reviews I read, but just know what you are getting - then you won't be disappointed.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: So. Bad. (Bad Boy Next Door) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Kelley Harvey Page; Review: There just seemed to be too much going on and no focus. It almost seemed like drama was just thrown in for no real reason. The drama that was thrown in just seemed to leave more unanswered questions and didn't seem to add to the story line. It definitely had some erotic scenes but the story line was lacking.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Sugar Daddy: A Sugar Bowl Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Sawyer Bennett Page; Review: I love Sawyer Bennett's books and this one was just as great, but I wasn't expecting a cliff hanger. I pre-ordered it because I love her writing but was very disappointed in the way it ended. I hate cliff hangers, with that being said I did pre-order the remaining 2 books and I guess that was the goal but now I have to wait until later this year to see how it ends for Beck & Sela. I see that there is now a note in the description alerting others there is a cliff hanger so just know it ahead of time. I loved the story and the characters. Ms. Bennett writes a great story, just wish it was one book with spin offs like her others. Cliff hangers SUCK.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Gifting (The Gifting Series) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's K.E. Ganshert Page; Review: Loved this series! Lots of twists and turns to the story line. It was well written and kept me drawn in! Action and a sweet love story - love it. I compare it to a Twilight meets Divergent series!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Awakening (The Gifting Series) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's K.E. Ganshert Page; Review: Loved this series! Lots of twists and turns to the story line.

Title: Seducing Cinderella (Fighting for Love); Author: Visit Amazon's Gina L. Maxwell Page; Review: I bought this book in paperback (which I rarely do since Kindle). This is the first time I've read any of Gina Maxwell's books. So glad I did bought this. I got it because the name caught my eye and I've personally known a few MMA fighters, so thought I would give it a try. I loved "Seducing Cinderella" so much I finished it in a few hours, and started re-reading it immediately. I just wish this author had more on Kindle as that is how I prefer to read. The pace was perfect; a quick read but I wish it was longer; characters were loveable; and while I found the heroine to act a bit predictably at times, Reid was not what I expected at all, which was a great twist. Descriptives were well used (and yummy - much appreciated!) and this book had me laughing out loud and crying at different times. I read a lot in public places waiting for kids at activities or between my classes, so that was a little hard to explain, but the story was so well written it was hard to control. Although the story is terrific as is, I'm going to point out a few things I think would have made great additions, but don't let this stop you from reading the book. It's still THE best book I've read in months. - A little more struggle between Reid and the Dr. over her, - Some details on the fight - particularly what was going through his head regarding the previous decision, and - I felt like the relationship between father and son was not explained well - scene with his dad in the locker room was a little forced and not believable. Make no mistake, this author has made my favorites list (which is hard to do). I've already purchased the next book in Kindle and can't wait to start reading.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Nature of Desire - Natural Law (Ellora's Cave. Taboo); Author: Visit Amazon's Joey W. Hill Page; Review: Love, love, love this series! And this was better than the first one. Right away the characters grab you and you can't put it down. This makes you look at d/s in a whole new way, where you realize that trust can be an even deeper emotion than love. Highly recommend this.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Geek Bearing Gifts (BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance): A BBW in search of love; Author: Visit Amazon's Milly Taiden Page; Review: I loved the first book and this is every bit as exciting and steamy. Great for a short quick read.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Her Purrfect Match (BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance) (Paranormal Dating Agency) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Milly Taiden Page; Review: I love how this author writes witty and love stories. And of course who doesn't love a good alpha male? Quick read, funny and playful. Will make you wish there really were such things as "shifters."; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Curves 'em Right (BBW Paranormal Shape Shifter Romance) (Paranormal Dating Agency) (Volume 4); Author: Visit Amazon's Milly Taiden Page; Review: I said it before and I will say it again, I love this series! Short, sassy and funny, these make great reads with steamy alpha males. This will make your blood pressure rise in a good way.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Flirting with Disaster; Author: Visit Amazon's Ava Catori Page; Review: I was really lucky to get an advanced readers copy of this book. So glad too. It was a great read that had me so hooked I finished it in one sitting. I love the character development and (without giving too much away) there is some miscommunication that breaks them up for a while. The story is written from both his POV and hers, which is difficult to write. But the author does a pretty good job of keeping you up to speed with the events while giving a taste for what both are thinking. It's kind of neat to see how male and female react to something said and how it can be interpreted so differently based on something as simple as gender and insecurities. I've been asked for an honest review, so here's the bad....I thought this would be a book about disaster of some kind based on the title. It's not. Barbara comes to town to shut down the factory that keeps a struggling community alive. And while Ryder comes to terms with her job and why she's there, we never see the rest of the community come to accept her until the very last chapter where we see that Ryder's dad came around and his brother is helping out with the business. I would have rated the character development higher if not for this nuance that just left me a little confused as to why she would want to stick around town. She's a smart and successful woman, so it just doesn't make sense to me that she would do so only for a guy. One more chapter that would explain how they all started to come around, or if there was more explanation on how she came to see the light and did something to help the community, anything would work. Otherwise, I loved the book. Downloaded and finished in a single sitting. Loved the story and the tension. And lots of steam and tension - which I LOVE. This is definately a book you won't want to miss.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Bear the Heat (Fire Bears) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's T. S. Joyce Page; Review: This will have you looking for more by this author. I read the first in the series and couldn't put it down. One of my favorites, and who doesn't love a hot burly firefighter?; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Big Bad Bear; Author: Visit Amazon's Terry Bolryder Page; Review: I loved this book and can't wait for the next in the series. This one doesn't have a cliff hanger like some of her other series, but it will leave you wanting more. Pace was good for a quick read but I actually wish this one was a little longer. Just because it was so good!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Tiger's Bounty; Author: Visit Amazon's Terry Bolryder Page; Review: I received this as an ARC. I am a big fan of Terry Bolryder and this was another great story line. I loved Jace and my favorite part is when they spend one more night together thinking it will be their last. He's very in tuned with Amber, backing off and taking her to the edge again. It's all very bitter sweet and romantic. My only complaint with the characters is that I would have liked to see more about why Amber is so willing to be nice to a friend that lies to her. And as this was a critical element of how and why she met Jace, there should have been more development in Amber's character and why she is all alone. The plot ismostly about the love developing between Amber and Jace, but its not all about the romance. The plot of a slave trade in the shifter community is not exactly new but it does help bring them closer together. But the way Terry uses it to add to the story also makes this a suspenseful story to tell and makes it better than just another shifter romance. Overall, Terry's writing style has improved, though there are a few points where the wording could be improved with editing. Some unnecessary words like "just" or "then"can sometimes distract from an otherwise excellent book.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Flirting with Danger; Author: Visit Amazon's Ava Catori Page; Review: I don't harbor those bad boy fantasies like some do, so when I got this book I was a little skeptical. But I happen to love the authors so...... To say I was surprised is an understatement. Such raw emotions in being forced into a marriage the way they are, but the reason they both go through with the wedding is not what they believed. It's a beautiful story about falling in love and offers a sneak peek into what the life of organized crime families are really like. Granted I can only imagine...but well done ladies! The only thing I didn't like was the scene where Gino's hooks up with a random friend with benefits - it just seemed out of charachter. He proves he can be a gentleman to his wife and it just didn't seem like someone who would do something so tasteless at a funeral would be the kind of man to fall in love at first sight (but then fall into bed with someone else?), it needed a better transition as to why or it just wasn't necessary. I don't know which. Luckily it was glossed over pretty quickly and we were able to get to the anguish of not having control over your life and not having the person you love return the feeling. I haven't read the other books in this series, but I just bought them and plan to start reading next. LOVE THIS BOOK!!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hart Attack (Titan Book 7); Author: Visit Amazon's Cristin Harber Page; Review: I love this entire series. I just wish there were more books in the series.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Rebel: A Stepbrother Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Kim Linwood Page; Review: A friend said I should read this one, and well, she's been wrong before. So it actually sat in my KU list for a loooong time. Something about doing your stepbrother is just a little weird for me, so I was hesitant. BUT! OMG this could be the best book I've read this year. Maybe even several years. The story was well thought out, funny, and hot (oh so stinkin' hot!). I loved how it switches from his/her POV but it's not so much that it becomes tedious. As in not every other chapter because you have to, but when it moves the story along. Charachter development makes you love them both (which is hard since you pretty much hate Gavin at first), and this is usually one of the areas that I find most authors can really mess up in. So I was pleasantly surprised that it was so well written, something I've been having a hard time with in the world of self published drivel. I don't want to ruin the plot for anyone so I will just say that the grand gesture is so grand it will melt your e-reader. So consider yourself warned. It's rare that I would post a review on something that I wasn't specifically asked to review (and i was not asked for this one) so take this for what it's worth. A must read book, from a great author that I've never read before, that has made me want to go out and download every word she's ever written. Seriously. You have to.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Wild Game (Wilding Pack Wolves 1) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Alisa Woods Page; Review: I really liked this story. Made me want to read the next in the series right away. I love that she's sexy and devoted to get to gEttinger this game released and that she's not afraid to be sexy if it helps her get what she wants. I have to admit though that I was disappointed that we don't see more from his damaged shifter self. He's a wolf that had experiments done on him but you just don't see enough of his struggle in my opinion. Otherwise, loved the book. And that wasn't enough to get me to give it less than 5 stars!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Piercing the Fold (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Venessa Kimball Page; Review: I would have given this a higher rating if it just moved a little faster. Sometimes less is more. I had a hard time getting into the plot and frankly was bored for the first 51% (according to kindle). It took forever to get the plot moving and there was so much needless information. I had a hard time sticking with it. That said, once it started moving it got better. But sadly, it slowed down again towards the end. I guess I can't complain too much. I did get the book for free in exchange for an honest review. So honestly, if not for that I never would have bothered to finish the book. Unfortunately for the writer, if the plot could have been better developed this would have been a pretty good book. The characters were well developed, I found myself rooting for both Xander and Ethan (or evan?) At different times. and there is a plot twist at the end that I sort of saw coming. But again, I could have been more to the point and kept my attention. I would only recommend this book to someone looking to get some sleep.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Bargaining with the Billionaire (Honeybrook Love, Inc.) (Volume 3); Author: Visit Amazon's Allison Gatta Page; Review: I liked this book. Really, I did. But the first two in the series are actually much better. I just felt that Franco could have been more blind sided when he first realized that the girl for him was under his nose the whole time. And Eliza was a little too much of a pushover for my tastes. She goes from hating his guts to being in love in the span of a few pages. My feelings on this book do not prevent me from wishing for a fourth book but I'm not really sure who the character would be.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Pay For Play (Alphachat.com) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Victoria Ashley Page; Review: I loved this book so much. The snarky humor, the hotness, the heartbreak and happy ending. Its just too good for words. I can't wait for book 2 and to see who its about. The whole premise of the jobs at the alpha house will make you wish it was a real website. Maybe it is? I'm going to Google it right now! Even their names are awesome... Rebel and Lynx. Love it!! Seriously though, get this book now!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Lucas (Black Cougar); Author: Visit Amazon's Eliza Gayle Page; Review: I loved Kira and Lucas. Kira needs to mate - like now or else she will go crazy. Lucas is a prisoner and doesn't realize that Kira is his mate right away. By the time he realizes the deal, Kira is halfway to looneyville and sentenced to death. It's a great book with lovable characters. I loved the lengths Lucas would go to in his effort to protect his mate to be but of course Kira is sort of a bad a$$ in her own right. So she wants to catch the bad guys on her own, which of course she gets captured instead. Great action, great love, and great fun. I can't wait to read Mate Night - Kanes story.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ties That Bind: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Reese Patton Page; Review: It's really hard not to fall in love with Connie. He is so clueless about how much women hate to be controlled it's hard not to feel sorry for him. I don't want to give too much about the book away, but basically a hook up in a night club (because you can't even call it a one night stand) has some unexpected consequences. So when Connie runs into his hook up in the course of his rather nefarious duties, well how can he do his job? Besides, he doesn't even know about the consequences yet. Great summer read that delivers on steam and bad boy romance. Couldn't put it down.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Kiss of a Dragon (Fallen Immortals 1) - Paranormal Fairytale Romance (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Alisa Woods Page; Review: I don't usually like books with cliff hangers. But this b is one of the few exceptions. I loved the story and characters. I find Arabella to be a little niaeve in spite of her tougher tendencies. But that is also what makes her awesome. I don't want to give too much away so feel free to stop reading now. But I loved the way Lucian tries to trick her into falling in love with him. She does resist for a while and he struggles for about a minute until he realizes she is falling for him. When they finally do get together it is pure bliss. But still has some pretty funny parts like when ahh stands at the car and yells at the car driver about what not to do with her employee...that's hilarious! If you want a great book that is filled with true love, pain, anguish, and comedy...this is for you.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: His Immortal Kiss (Skeleton Key); Author: Visit Amazon's Liliana Rhodes Page; Review: This was a short novella. And as such, the story is good. My complaint is that as a short novella with a lot of history to be told, it was too short and did not allow for proper explanation of certain events. They fall in love although Julien has loved Lilac forever. I know the author expects some assumptions to be made by the reader and this is a story about timeless love above all else. But I have a hard time understanding how Lilac just falls in love with him when they spend so little time together. Each time they come in contact with each other he leaves the room, yet she falls in love? I didn't love it but it was ok. It's a sweet story about love but would have been better as a full length novel to explain the emotions the characters are experiencing.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Perfect Together (Canyon Cove) (Volume 5); Author: Visit Amazon's Liliana Rhodes Page; Review: I loved this book. I haven't read the rest of the series yet so this is a true stand alone story. I'm so in love with the story though I am going back to read the rest. You will love the characters and the friendship they share. At first I wasn't sure because he seemed to be a little too in love with the way he looked. But that was obviously why he needed to grow up. I don't like to spoil things so feel free to stop reading now if you want. I must admit the way he comes back into town to sweep the girl of his dreams off her feet is one of the most romantic things ever....but is she still available? Wow. Every girl dreams of a big gesture and she definitely got hers. Loved the story! I'm going to read others by this author now. I received this book on exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ride: The Awakening (Puca Mates) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's A.C. James Page; Review: This is a serial read. I never thought of a shifter stallion as being Sexy, but this one is. Of course he hasn't been here in 50 years so his speech is a little strange but Felicity doesn't quite know what to make of it at first...; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hold Fast; Author: Visit Amazon's Olivia Rigal Page; Review: This was such a different book. I mean we have all heard about cults hidden behind secrecy of compounds, but Hold Fast offers a unique look behind a sinister leader that is beyond evil. She even calls him 'Satan' when she is thinking of him. But although she was thrown into this situation not through her own decisions, Courtney can't forget that boy she grew up with. Sean returns from war with injuries and nightmares, a broken man. Yet all he can think of is finding out what happened to that girl next door. In a desperate attempt to find her and bring her back to her father, he goes on a mission to find her. Because in the end, they really need eachother in order to heal. Great characters, I loved the book. This is so very different, I know I've said that, but it is. I am really glad I read this as it presents love from different perspectives, some healthy, some not so much. But it offers love and passion for every reader.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Onyx Dragon (Awakened Dragons) (Volume 1); Author: Visit Amazon's Terry Bolryder Page; Review: Gray book. I love that Erin looks for the good in humanity and she is therefore able to teach Zack how to appreciate hu man's too. I also love the heat between them! She gets seriously turned on when he fights off a bunch of guys to save her. He always seems to come to her rescue so he must be a good guy. Right? I would have given this 5 stars but the ending seemed a little rushed for me. I would have liked to know more about why the Emerald dragon hated Zack so much or how he got out in the first place. Maybe we will get these answers in the next books.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Assassin's Kiss (Watcher's Kiss) (Volume 2); Author: Visit Amazon's Sharon Kay Page; Review: This was a great book. I loved the story and the characters. It all starts with a curse that he will meet his true love but she will hate him. And she does...the him that is. He killed their leader so what's for her to like? But as he tries to worm his way into her heart and he earns her trust, she begins to fall in love. This is a hot passionate story about an unlikely pair. This is a great paranormal book that will take you on a hot journey!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Stolen from the Hitman; Author: Visit Amazon's Alexis Abbott Page; Review: Such a great read. Max is a teacher that goes to rescue his student from a really bad situation. Little did the bad guys know that she belonged to him...or that he used to be a hitman. Such a hot read full of adventure and love. Liv is a gymnast that is scared in a new country. Unaware of the things that can be dangerous to her...especially her new teacher. I can't say some of my favorite parts without giving things away and I hate spoilers. But this is a great read and one that I have patiently waited for for some time!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Two Hitmen: Raw, Lethal and Dirty; Author: Visit Amazon's Alice May Ball Page; Review: This was a pretty good erotic read. I liked the overall story and the relations between Courtenay and the men is pretty hot. Plenty to love. My only complaint is that there was just not enough development of Courtenay. She pretty much just falls in with these two strangers with very little explanation as to why she would do this. Not that I wouldn't have done the same faced with these two very hot individuals...so I totally get it! Her husband is a loser so of course easily succumbs to these two macho men that pretty much take care of her husband problems. Bottom line, this is a really good book and you will wish you were her by the end. The two men, Liam and Declan, are into sharing so this makes for some really hot action. There is also a little exhibitionism. The witty back and forth between the two hitmen is pretty funny in a very dark way. But I really think that's what made me love them. I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but it sort of leaves me thinking there should be a book 2. Will there be? I would definitely read it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Ripped; Author: Visit Amazon's Lisa Edward Page; Review: I was once a dancer so I may be a little biased....but this is one of the best books I've read in years. The Plot: The lost loves bump into each other strictly by chance on a crowded street in New York. They were sweethearts back home but a misunderstanding tears them apart. When they realize what happened, Jaz and Bax begin to drift back into that comfortable shared life they once had. But things are different now. Bax is ashamed of what he has become and hides it from Jaz. By the time she finds out, the trust is broken and both lovers are lost once again. Don't mistake this for a highly erotic romance. There is adult content, but this is a true love story. What I liked about it: Only a dancer understands what it means to be a dancer. To crave that acceptance and respect for years of hard work. Ms. Edward gets into the heart of what being a dancer is: a story teller and someone who conveys emotion to their audience. The way she writes about the moves and the facial expressions, how the dancers use their experiences to bring more emotion to the dance, it is just beautifully done. I felt like I was there with the characters, crying and laughing and jealous. I also loved how she really seemed to know what it was like back stage, the politics of dancing in a production, rehearsals, the grueling hours of hard work only to be told you are too tall, too short, too big (not that you can't dance). As Bax goes through his rejections you can feel his heartbreak, even as he tries to be everything Jaz needs in her shining moment. It is the hardest thing any dancer goes through, but it's also what makes them tough. One thing I did find funny though, was that the producers didn't like his tattoos and he had lost out on auditions because of it. I don't know, maybe times have changed. I have been back stage at many a ballet where even the ballerinas had tattoos to be covered. Most of the people I know simply resigned to covering them during auditions. And some of the edgier performances actually like the artistry of the tattoos and are almost encouraged. I guess it depends on the performance and producers. As far as an overall rating for this book goes, I would have given it 10 stars if I could. Just wow.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Anchor; Author: Visit Amazon's Nicole Blanchard Page; Review: This was so good! I always love a good hero and this was that and lust at first sight. The initial chemistry may have been compounded by the fact that they were in a life and death situation. What ever it was - was hot! I'm still a little confused about the ex wife. When she came to the hospital she almost seemed like she was ready to take him back. That was just weird. So what I expected and what I got was different. Which was good. I hate predictable books. There is a hospital scene that is hot and funny at the same time. It will make you want to see more between Chloe and Gabes friends. I loved the story line and characters. Note, there is a twist at the end that i don't want to spoil. Really good book. Worth all 5 stars. I received this book in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Souvenir; Author: Visit Amazon's Emma Nichols Page; Review: I loved this book. I've read a lot of really good ones lately, so I feel like all of my reviews lately have been "I loved this book".....but I did! So Brady and Wren lived together until Brady didn't come home one day. So when he realizes how badly he messed up, he can't even face her. As Wren tries to move on with her life, packing and moving out, you guessed it, one last goodbye time turns into a rather big surprise. And Wren is determined to make smart decisions to make sure her child is raised in the right environment with someone dependable. And that's not Brady...is it? Brady tries really hard to win her back but continues to mess up over and over again. With the help of her new neighbor, he makes the grand gesture...but all of his plans are thwarted. I don't want to ruin the ending, but if Emma Nichols is reading this, I would LOVE to know what happened with the media after the ice cream shop incident. When you read the book, you will know what I mean. I loved Wren and I came to love Brady. I would like a book about Jes, so maybe that will be a future book? I really hope so. I would like to see more Trey as well for that matter. Plot was good, and there was plenty of comedy as Brady screwed up with his careless words over and over again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Variations (Base Branch Series) (Volume 9); Author: Visit Amazon's Megan Mitcham Page; Review: I liked this book a lot. Had trouble putting it down in fact! I loved how Oliver thought he was rescuing a victim only to find out that she was capable of saving him. In fact, you don't really see how damaged he truly is until the very end of the book. But I won't spoil that for anyone. Marina is damaged and broken. Held captive by terrorists for more than 2 years, and you can probably only imagine what she lives through during that time, we see a strong and resiliant Marina who is near to giving up. It is also a lesson to us all in being careful what are words are to people we care about. Part of Oliver's trouble is that he lost someone close to him that he loved, bearing the guilt of their death because of his actions. Marina faces the same tragedy of turning on someone close to her but only because she's trying to find her sister. I don't want to get dragged down into a play by play of the story line. Suffice to say that the romance that buds between Oliver and Marina is intense and very much based on the stress of the situation. So when they still feel as strongly after some time apart, we can only hope that they will be good together. LIkely we will see more of them in future installments of this series. I know their passion will be just as strong! I can't wait to see what's up with Hunter!! I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: A Modern Proposal; Author: Visit Amazon's Emma Nichols Page; Review: Another great read from Emma Nichols. This starts out as a couple of people who make a simple arrangement. It's a really awesome one too. One journalist who needs help getting her dream job and one bartender who has had his life planned out for so long that he has literally been saving for years. But then he agrees to help her while also getting a little fun time. Only downside is there is an end date on their arrangement, and they are both so afraid of their growing feelings that they ignore the elephant in the room. Until they can't anymore. This book is about relationships though. Ones with parents that need fixed, ones with coworkers that are frenemies, and ones with the love of your life if you can just follow your heart. I loved the charachters and the story line. But I loved the list. Read the book and you will know what I mean. LOVE how Emma always gives us little life lessons in the middle of some of the steamiest reads! I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: One Flight Stand: A Bad Boy's Baby Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Kim Linwood Page; Review: I promised myself last year that I would support the authors I love by writing a review on every book I read. Then my son had an accident and suddenly I wasn't reading as much. So now I've been very selective of the books I do read. I love this author so naturally this one made the cut and not only did I read the copy I was given, but I had to write a review. This is a great story,I mean I love a good mafia story anyway, but this was told in a completely new and refreshing way. I've read lots of romance with organized crime, but this couple do it all backwards, even for a bad boy. You can't help but fall for the characters and even the supporting characters (hint, hint...sequel please?). But the mother is such a cold hearted b**** you can't help but feel for Andrea just a little bit more. And her dad, the ultimate bad boy mafia Don, is really just a marshmallow for his little girl. Did I mention there is plenty of sassy snark too? This one has lots of twists and turns, will keep you guessing, and has plenty of spicy sex scenes. Loved this book so much I volunteered to write a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Quarterback Cuck; Author: Visit Amazon's Colleen Masters Page; Review: What happens when the hunky football player falls for the girl next door, but loses her, only to find her again, but she's married to a real waste of flesh? Tbis book happens....that's what! Make no mistake, there is nothing sweet about this. She is a cheater and she cheats on her husband. But I'm pretty sure everyone would cheat on him. I highly recommend this read! It's funny and light and sexy. I received this one as a gift and liked it so much I volunteered to write a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Heavy Turbulence; Author: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Fox Page; Review: This book was amazing! I love the whole enemies to friends theme anyway. But this was snarky and quick witted too. The charachters are well developed, from the uptight rule following stewardess to the never met a rule he didn't break pilot, they are both destined to either kill each other or fall in love. Even supporting charachters are funny. Spoiled gold-digger, prince with a harem and even a rich money hungry narcissists. To really make it interesting, they both make a deal with their boss that throws them in their enemies arms. Which of course means plenty of hilarity. I received this book for free and loved it so much i decided to write a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Wicked Lust: A Stepbrother Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Amanda Heartley Page; Review: A great story about a bad girl for a change. This was different in that she was the one trying to corrupt her stepbrother. He tries to resist, which of course doesn't work, or else why have a story? But there are a lot of steamy scenes which i love. And a twist when their married parents find out. I don't want to spoil it, but for me, that made this plot worth reading. Great writing, great plot. Would have given 5 stars except that there were some military references that were incorrect(e.g. enlistment requirements and PTSD for returning warfighters). But still, i liked the story enough to volunteer to write a review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Well Hung Over in Vegas: A Standalone Romantic Comedy; Author: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Fox Page; Review: Hilariously funny! I loved the zaney quality of the charachters, the straight laced Dahlia with hippy parents and the wild Tyler with straight parents who are constantly disappointed by their out of control son. Its true, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay there, but it's not always Hang over bad either. And i know, I got engaged there. Not married...although there was that awkward moment when we drove by that tacky chapel... You will love this book. I promise! I loved it so much I volunteered to review it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Beast; Author: Visit Amazon's Sky Corgan Page; Review: I liked this one. I have to admit I wasn't sure I would. Kidnapper gets the chance to change his life around for the girl he falls in love with. I would have given it five stars but I had a tough time believing she a victim would stick around after such limited contact and time to bond with her captor. However, it was still a great story and I loved the charachters (even her excentric father). I don't want to spoil the ending for anyone, but I will tell you the climax had me in tears. I liked this book enough to volunteer to write a review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Knocked Up by the Master: A BDSM Secret Baby Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Penelope Bloom Page; Review: I think every girl secretly dreams of meeting a guy like this. I know I do. This book has so many of my fantasies in it, it's kind of embarrassing. And even a few I didn't know I would fantasize about. But you will love it. Characters are great, story is great and the scenes between them are scorching! You will see elevators in a whole new light. I am actually praying for a sequel and searching the web for hotels like this one. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Legacy: A Mafia Bad Boy Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Xander Hades Page; Review: This was a great book about uniting two mafia families. But it was also more than that. The two characters were in love as teens as well, but as often happens with young love, immaturity and a lack of communication got In the way. Each believing something untrue about the other they now hate each other. So forcing them to marry comes with it's own bag of fun. Yet as the two love birds quickly find out, you don't have to always like the person you're in love with. But trying to stay alive has a way of making people see a different side of others. And since their chemistry is OFF THE CHARTS HOT....well, the journey is fun. I don't want to ruin the story for anyone, but there is one part where Michael sneaks into Deannas room...that part is soooooo my favorite scene in the entire book. Must be the romantic in me. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Dirty Doc Next Door; Author: Visit Amazon's Sienna Chance Page; Review: I couldn't put this one down! I loved that she was the bad influence for once! Without giving to much away, I will say that after Abby tries to break into the good Doctor Ian's house, he finds a way to force her change her ways AND give him control. I loved these characters and the story line (which was the perfect amount of short and sexy). I'm kind of hoping for a sequel. I volunteered to write a review of this ARC.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Her Secret: A Billionaire Romance Novella; Author: Visit Amazon's Zoey A. Black Page; Review: This was a good book about two people in counseling for different issues. So it doesn't take the normal route of a relationship. There are some references to self help books and principals that may leave you to do some outside research. So be prepared to do some MORE reading after this. Lol! I liked the book and thought it was really sweat how he decides he likes her enough to give her time to work her treatment. You will like this book. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: The Best Medicine; Author: Visit Amazon's Kimberly Fox Page; Review: Great book with a very different charachter. I've never thought much about motocross but this was a great look inside their minds. Like the author has said, she's not much for medicine and a little heads up to all my medical community, there are some medical inconsitencies, but they are minor and does nothing to detract from the real story. The love that blossoms between these charachters. Great book. Loved it. I volunteered to review an advanced readers copy of this book.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mountain Lumberjack; Author: Visit Amazon's Sienna Chance Page; Review: This was one of the best winter reads of this year! A group of lawyers on a retreat, one ends up dead. Arson and accidents at a logging job site. So much intrigue! Not to mention a hot steamy couple that pretend to be acquainted to scare of a pesty boss who won't take no for an answer. You will love the characters as much as the story. I don't want to ruin anything and the book description will tell you the rest, but this is a don't miss. I am voluntarily leaving a review for this advanced readers copy.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Baby for the Beast; Author: Visit Amazon's Penelope Bloom Page; Review: I'm not sure what I thought I was getting with this book, but it was so much better! I loved the characters and the way Neela was resistant but intrigued to Enzo special persuasions. Ready to let her hair down she makes a bad decision that ends up being a pretty good one. Some of Enzo's team are not the supportive as he thinks they are so some challenges give the story a lot of suspense. But the best part is the very steamy bits between Neela and Enzo. You will love this book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Taking My Mafia Princess: A Bad Boy Mafia Romance; Author: Visit Amazon's Chloe Fischer Page; Review: I love a bad boy hero (if that makes any sense). In this book, we have a hero mafia soldier that is assigned to guard the bosses daughter. As she does everything she can to give him a hard time, both start to fall for eachother in the most forbidden and delicious way. If her dad knew the real truth about how this Jersey boy ended up in Miami, there is no doubt in my mind he would have been doing something else, which only adds to the action and makes this hotter! This book is a quick read full of passion and action and is a perfect book for a rainy afternoon. Loved it! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: His Banana; Author: Visit Amazon's Penelope Bloom Page; Review: I alway like a good RomCom, but this is the perfect mix of funny, silly, sexy and raw. I was howling at how quick Natashas come backs were. Who talks to their boss like that? Even if he is hot and only trying to torture her. And he has this pefect little system that she completely destroys which is even more fun to watch. I thought for sure she was going to ruin one of his business deals, but like the secretly sweet guy he is, he goes and does nice stuff for her. I loved this from beginning to end and i really hope we see a follow up book for William very soon! I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_books |

Overall this place is decent and reasonable.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Zoes Kitchen; City: Metairie, LA; Review: I eat here pretty often considering it is near my work and I have always had a good experience with Zoes. My favorite dish is definitely the steak roll ups. They also have a reward program app where you can get free items just by scanning your receipt.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Camellia Grill; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: I hear a lot of hype about this place so I had to try it for myself. I must say that it wasn't all what I expected at all. The menu is pretty bland and the food wasn't great.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Maple Leaf Bar; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Great local spot to hear your favorite local bands play. The drink prices are reasonable and the staff is very kind.

Title: Cooter Brown's; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This is a great spot to watch your favorite team or to get some oysters. The food is pretty good and they have a great selection of libations as well. There is plenty of seating and you will never stand for long.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Zea Rotisserie & Bar; City: Metairie, LA; Review: I eat at Zeas pretty frequently and every time I have eaten here it has been great experience. I find myself craving those corn grits and Thai ribs. Very friendly staff and the wait is never too long.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Triple Play; City: Metairie, LA; Review: Me and my friend's enjoy coming here to do karaoke on a Friday night. The drink prices are very reasonable and the entertainment is even better.

Title: Starbucks; City: Metairie, LA; Review: Starbucks is my favorite morning stop. I drive thru here a few times a week to get my skinny caramel macchiato.

Title: Caffe Caffe - Metairie; City: Metairie, LA; Review: Great lunch spot for a quick bit to eat. My favorite thing on the menu is the avacodo wrap with shrimp salad added.

Title: Wingstop; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: This Wing stop actually just opened and I already will not be returning for seconds. While waiting in line forever I see a man hosing and mopping the kitchen floor while food was cooking and I also witnesses twice not one employee drop a bowl on the floor and proceed to use it. Hopefully they can get their act right soon.; Rating: 2.0/5.0

Title: Legacy Kitchen's Craft Tavern; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Me and my boyfriend are here after hearing about it from a friend. We were seated at a very small table and waited a period of time before we were greeted by our waitress. The menu was pretty basic but the prices were outrageous. My boyfriend had the chicken and waffles which was pretty basic but at a premium price. We will not be returning.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Parkway Bakery & Tavern; City: New Orleans, LA; Review: Every time I am craving a shrimp poboy Parkway comes to mind. This place is always packed and for obvious reasons. The food is pretty good and the thanksgiving poboy is bomb.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | yelp |

Title: The Good House: A Novel; Author: Visit Amazon's Ann Leary Page; Review: For such a praised novel, I was disappointed.

Title: La Quinta Inn Suites South Burlington; City: South Burlington Vermont; Review: This is the third time I have booked with La Quinta that I have had to move rooms. I always ask for a quiet location away from vending machines and doors in a non smoking room. Again this past weekend, I went down there with my family and was given a room that was near the vending machines and that reeked of cigarette smoke. The whole corridor stunk of smoke! The bedroom was un-breathable! I called down to the front desk and we had to truck our three suitcases and shopping bags back down to the lobby to get a new room assigned. I asked him why he hadn't just assigned us the quieter, smoke free room to begin with, without all this hassle we had to go through?! Our second room was quieter as long as no one banged the Fire-doors closed , and it was smoke free. It was clean and smelled fine. But we did have to wait three hours for the extra pillows that I had requested over the phone when booking the room a week earlier, and which should have been already set up in our first room. Other than that, the rest of our stay was fine. The breakfast was decent.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: La Quinta Inn Suites South Burlington; City: South Burlington Vermont; Review: Nice staff and clean place, but terrible bed. it felt like it had a great big hole in it. We woke up with terrible back aches, and need a sleeping pill to fall asleep in this soup bowl in the first place. truly unacceptable to offer hotel guests this poor worn out mattress to sleep on. Unacceptable. Put new beds in! Also the breakfast needs better options and needs to be open a bit longer.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: Sonesta ES Suites Burlington; City: Williston Vermont; Review: I've been visiting Burlington Vt for almost 22 years on a semi annual basis and this is the first time I have encountered this property. it is in the Tafts Corner near the Walmart and is in a quite out of the way wooded area. It was clean, accommodating, comfortable, and the staff was friendly and kind. I will always book this hotel from now on.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Evolution Apartments; City: Brisbane Brisbane Region Queensland; Review: We loved the look and location of our Evolution Hotel apartment. We had so much open space and a gorgeous view overlooking the Brisbane River and the Victoria Bridge. And we could walk every where. We used the kitchen to prepare some of our own meals and found it to be fairly well stocked with pots, pans, and dinnerware. It was great to have a laundry room in our own apartment provided with detergent, and an electric dryer s well as a fold out clothing dryer for items that can not go in the electric dryer. The only complaint I have is that the staff do not clean the hotel apartment at all. They will make up the bed and bring in new towels, but the bathrooms and floors are never cleaned. They do provide a vacuum cleaner for you to vacuum your carpets yourselves, however there is no mop for the kitchen and bathroom floors, nor products to clean your bathroom or kitchen. And frankly, when I am on vacation, I do not really want to spend my day cleaning, but I would have cleaned up a bit had I the proper tools to do so. Also when the cleaning staff came, they did not always bring us new shampoos and soaps, so we had to go to the lobby one night to pick up some, and they gave us what looked like half empty used bottles that looked like they had been leftovers from other people's rooms. Also with only two elevators in the building, it is very long to wait to get up and down. There are no stairs to take up, either, only emergency stairs that go down with no floor access. So that was a bit annoying. The reception staff are not very friendly and do not greet you when you leave or arrive each day. However, the apartment was really nice to stay in---I only wish it was kept up better.; Rating: 3.0/5.0
Title: DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Cairns; City: Cairns Cairns Region Queensland; Review: We have travelled all over the world and this hotel afforded us one of the best hotel experiences that we have ever had. The hotel staff were very accommodating---helpful, friendly, and they went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable and had everything we needed at all times. When the internet was running slowly, they brought up a special router and connected it in our room. When a reading lamp was not working, they sent up the engineer to disassemble it and replace the non working parts. When we were attempting to bring several pieces of luggage down from the 6th floor, someone we thought was a staff member just walking by offered to help us. We later found out that it was the hotel manager! The hotel manager was just walking by and took on the responsibility of bringing our luggage down to the lobby for us! WOW! The entire staff were kind and always seemed happy to see us--- greeting us with smiles ---from the reception desk to the dining room to the porter. The rooms were made up very well and kept very clean ,which is very important to me. The breakfast was bountiful and delicious, and if there was something extra you desired, the chef would make it for you. And when I say "breakfast", think cruise ship style---so much food and so much variety, all deliciously made! We were always happy at the end of every busy day snorkelling, scuba diving, birding, and hiking to come back "home" to our hotel room, which was always clean, roomy, and air-conditioned to a comfortable level. I will stay here again the next time I visit Cairns and I would look for a Double Tree by Hilton Hotel wherever I go next.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Sonesta ES Suites Burlington; City: Williston Vermont; Review: These rooms are big, beautiful, newly renovated and clean. There are fireplaces that you can light yourselves to set the mood for a peaceful and romantic evening. The service is very good and the location is excellent.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Tax-Free Retirement; Author: Visit Amazon's Patrick Kelly Page; Review: I am both a commission and fee adviser. Licensed and registered in Texas in three disciplines. I ALWAYS make sure conflicts of interest are out of the way up front. I think people (normal) respect that an insurance agent or anyone else who works for a living should get paid their due. We don't question attorney fees, or doctor's do we? Insurance contracts are based on an insurance company paying the agent a commission unless the agent is registered to charge a fee and has that arrangement. Most are not. All that aside. The Tax Free Retirement concept makes all the sense in the world. I believe people are tired of Wall Street, Washington and biased advisers telling them what to and not to do and decide upon. READ THE BOOK and come to your own conclusion! It makes sense. I am not being self-serving because I sell insurance. In fact, I make sure a person reads it and is very comfortable with the concept and signs off on disclosures before I take a check payable to an Insurance Company. Intelligent people in fact. As an adviser I believe it is a sensible approach to saving for retirement. Not the ONLY approach however, but certainly a sensible option for high income earners who qualify for the underwriting. It's not written to be a technical book. Who would read it except some JAR HEAD adviser? What novice wants to read about life insurance charts and graphs? PEOPLE SIMPLY WANT THEIR FINANCIAL PROBLEMS SOLVED. This is why advisers get paid. Just like a doctor, lawyer, CPA..., If we don't solve a problem then we do not earn our keep! This product does just that for a limited portion of the population who will have huge tax issues when they retire. In fact qualified plan distributions have been called a tax time-bomb. Good for the government VERY BAD for the retiree. Especially those in high income and tax brackets. I agree the masses likely can't afford this to work for them properly because of affordability but it is still a good option among just a very few others.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Leverage Your IRA: Maximize Your Profits with Real Estate; Author: Matt Allen; Review: An excellent read. Well written and collaborated on by 4 professionals in the business who in my opinion can help expedite the process. I think it is important as well to have someone with a tax background as one of the collaborators. I spoke with Eric Winston, CPA. He is very easy to talk with in addition to being knowledgeable about the financial process from the IRS point of view. As a real estate broker and investment adviser, I know this concept makes "ALL THE SENSE" in the world. I do not advocate completely dislodging from securities markets, however I do advocate sincerely giving an educated look at self-directing your IRA with real estate or other tangible assets which are allowed for potential of higher secured ROI, and if a loan is needed to assist in the acquisition North American Savings Bank is the best source to help. This concept is here to stay. After this past few years of investment scams and after last Sunday's 60 minutes review of the Lehman Brothers scam, America had better consider that it is time to take some CONTROL of their retirement futures and cease and desist depending SOLELY on Wall Street.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: IRA Wealth: Revolutionary IRA Strategies for Real Estate Investment; Author: Visit Amazon's Patrick W. Rice Page; Review: I am a current real estate broker.

Title: Bob's Red Mill Organic Whole Grain Raw Buckwheat Groats, 16 oz, 2 pk; Brand: Bob's Red Mill; Review: I just started to cook with Buckwheat and am now a fan. I have been gradually adding more whole grains to my diet. This cooks up like rice or quinoa and can be substituted for them in any recipe. I actually like to mix the quinoa and buckwheat in my recipes. This grain is a complete protein and has the entire complex of amino acids. There is no wheat in buckwheat.....its just an unfortunate name but it is gluten free.; Rating: 4.0/5.0 | amazon_Grocery_and_Gourmet_Food |

Title: Woder 10K-DC Ultra High Capacity Under Sink Direct Connect Water Filtration System — Under Sink, Premium Class 1. Removes; Brand: Woder; Review: Can't say enough about how good this filter is! One day I realized I was not drinking much water. That is because it smelled and tasted horrible. The municipal water is heavily treated with biocides (chemicals that kill life - good or bad - like chlorine). I don't want any of those in my body - just doesn't seem like a good idea, since they kill life.... I did my research, Woder is far and away the best. I installed it in a minute - literally. The results are profound. The water is clear, clean, and tastes great. Before and After chemical analysis results are startling. No noticeable pressure reduction, but I would still be thrilled even if it had been cut in half. Also, I am feel so much better with drinking sufficient amounts of water. The missing link in my fitness/diet quest. Buy at least one!; Rating: 5.0/5.0

It adapts a regular (E26) base light bulb to accept a smaller Candelabra type bulb (E12). There are new super low wattage LED Candelabra bulbs that really look warm like an actual candle - a 5 Watt version of these is roughly equivalent to a 45 Watt incandescent. They look spectacular in the old-timey fixtures on the front of my house. Everyone is jealous in the neighborhood - plus using only 15 Watts instead of 135 Watts. These can be used inside or out - makes for a very nice lamp where the bulb can actually "make" the lamp.; Rating: 5.0/5.0

Title: Ellia Hotel; City: Lardos Rhodes Dodecanese South Aegean; Review: My family and I have just returned from 10 days at this hotel (july 2012) and i must say we had a thoroughly good time! The resort is a bit tired BUT REMEMBER WHAT YOU PAID IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! so many people have slated this hotel but for the price you pay please please dont be so arrogant as to expect a 5* resort. My advice is if you want a 5* resort then go and pay for one. People on here have complained about the food...Well if you like pizza, chips ,burgers and nuggets your out of luck. The salad bar was fresh and varied every day, there was a fresh fish and a red meat option every day as well as interesting options such as white bait, home made tzatzik andi pitta breads. The puddings were healthy fresh fruit options sometimes more unhealthy options but not often. I travelled with my 4 children aged 19-5 and there was something for everyone at every meal. If you want stodgy Uk style food then go elsewhere, if you want fresh mediteranean food then it is cool. We ate out in Lindos a number of evenings as Lindos is just beautiful and quite adorable. The staff are lovely and friendly, the only problem was that the airconditioning was expensive at 8 euros per room so we had quite a big bill for both rooms at the end of our holiday. There are a lot of russians at this hotel and as with every nationality on earth we encountered rude ones and lovely ones whom are now firm friends. Going back at half term, a brilliant budget option if you have a large family to pay for.; Rating: 3.0/5.0

Title: Tower Club at Lebua; City: Bangkok; Review: We had supper here on 30 dec 2012, the view is like nothing on earth, the only other time i was so moved by architecture was the taj mahal..to be frank its unmissable if your in Bangkok. I was there with my 2 sons one 15 and one 7, the staff were exemplary and attentive to all of us. The food was wonderful, i had the steak which was fantastic, however my eldest son had the duck which was a touch dissapointing my youngest had the lobster spring rolls, we all had puddings which were fantastic. The cocktails are a little expensive about £10 per drink, and wine is only available by the glass..cheapest i could seee was about £18 per glass, my advice ..bite the bullet, pay the money, it will be an experience you will remember for ever. we loved it and we will be back next year. ..one tip, ask for one of the tables by the balcony to ensure the best views.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Little Palace; City: Cannes French Riviera Cote d Azur Provence Alpes Cote d Azur; Review: Clean hotel in good location- great value for money The hotel rooms are very dated as you would expect for a room of this price, however they were clean and the beds comfortable.

Title: Lebua at State Tower; City: Bangkok; Review: I was so excited to have booked a club superior suite, the room was amazing, but the whole experience was so over priced and a bit sanitary. The pool is badly designed and a little dangerous,the pool bar is ridiculously overpriced .Breakfast on the mezzo floor was outstanding, however you spend around an hour a day in total just waiting for lifts. There are much much better hotels in Bangkok that offer much more value for money with the same or better 5 star experience; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Holiday Inn Resort Phi Phi Island; City: Ko Phi Phi Don Krabi Province; Review: Many emails back and forth for several weeks - when we got here room was not one row back from the beach, it was not the room pictured and furthermore the duty manager denied having had any discussion with us via email at all. When I pointed out that someone had received the emails because they sent a car to pick us up from the airport as per our email they had no answer- unwilling to help, unwilling to rectify problem AND even left our bags on the beach- we had to struggle to the ‘shed’ they call a room. Very very dissatisfied and dreadfully disappointing anniversary for us.; Rating: 1.0/5.0 | hotelrec |
Given the interaction history of a user with hotels as follows:
Title: Alexandra Victoria; City: Southport Merseyside England; Review: The website described this hotel as a new, luxurious hotel with extensive leisure facilities, such as a jacuzzi and fully equipped gymnasium, offering unrivalled facilities in your room. We booked on-line and paid £80 for a one night stay in a double room. The hotel does not have on-site leisure facilities of any kind. The room was very small, not very clean (thick dust behind the bathroom washbasin, grubby soap dish, dusty skirting boards) and was far from well equipped. The bathroom was tiny - the shower cubicle door banged into the washbasin leaving a small gap to enter the shower. We were very disappointed with the room and the facilities. The attitude of the staff was reasonable and we were given a £20 refund when we informed them of our disappointment. We would not recommend.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Bridge House Hotel; City: Ferndown Dorset England; Review: Very reasonably priced - £49 per room per night. Friendly and helpful staff. Good customer service skills. Offers a carvery every day for £5 on weekdays and £8 at weekends. Breakfast ranged from £5 to £7.50, which was for a large full English breakfast. Good quality food. Rooms were clean and reasonably sized. Lovely views over the Dorset countryside.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Mayor La Grotta Verde Grand Resort; City: Agios Gordios Corfu Ionian Islands; Review: We stayed at this hotel for 11 nights between 3rd and 14th October 2011. The hotel is set into the cliffside, directly overlooking Agios Gordios beach, which is accessed via a number of steps. The all inclusive package offered a good range of drinks, though the house wine that was included in this package was of very variable quality and not drinkable some days. The quality of the food was good, with lots of salads available at every mealtime. A good selection was available for meat eaters and a couple of vegetarian options were always offered; the fish dishes were disappointing though. The food choice became a bit "samey" by the end of the holiday. We had an excellent view of the scenic coastline and impressive sunsets from our balcony. Our room, in the main part of the hotel, was a reasonable size and generally of a good standard, though the bed was hard and uncomfortable and the bathroom was small and dark. The daily servicing was adequate. The hotel staff were always friendly and helpful. The hotel entertainment team were very hard working and enthusiastic, though the standard of the evening entertainment was fairly amateur and the main lobby bar was sterile. We thought that the beach bar had the best atmosphere. We would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a relaxing, fairly quiet holiday in a beautiful location.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Art Boutique Hotel Monopol; City: St Moritz Engadin St Moritz Canton of Graubunden Swiss Alps; Review: We stayed at the Hotel Monopol in St Moritz for a week, commencing 4th February 2012 as part of a ski package booked via Inghams. The hotel is in a good, central location; just a few minutes walk from the Chantarella funicular, which takes you to the Corviglia ski area. We found the staff to be very customer focused apart from one individual we encountered on our arrival when we arrived at 10pm after a 5 hour train transfer from Zurich airport. When we called the hotel to collect us from the station, as arranged by Inghams, they refused and instead sent a taxi, for which we were expected to pay. This cost was subsequently reimbursed by Inghams, but made for a very irritating start to our stay. The next time we encountered this individual his manner was much improved. The hotel is clean, modern and tastefully decorated and has a large comfortable lounge. Our room (a superior double) was not huge but was comfortable and frequently serviced. There are no kettles in the rooms and the hotel does not loan irons to guests (but will iron clothes for a charge). We stayed on a half board basis, which included a buffet breakfast and five course evening meal. The breakfast buffet was extensive and the evening meal was of excellent quality with a good choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes every day. Drinks prices were on a par with other 4 star hotels; around 7CHF for a glass of wine. The restaurant and bar staff were friendly, very helpful, flexible and extremely attentive throughout our stay. We would definitely eat in the restaurant again even if we weren't resident. The hotel has a pleasant spa area, with a large hot tub but no swimming pool. A small but adequate ski room is available to store skis and boots (complete with boot dryers). A range of languages are spoken by all staff. We would certainly recommend a stay at the Monopol.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Glenburn Hotel Restaurant; City: Windermere Lake District Cumbria England; Review: We stayed at the Glenburn Hotel for 2 nights for a weekend break. It's located between Windermere and Bowness; around a 5 minute walk to Windermenre and 10 to 15 minutes to Bowness. The staff were very welcoming and helpful and all seem to work very hard to look after their guests. The hotel is fairly small and traditional, which allows for a lovely personal touch. The room was very clean and well maintained; it wasn't huge but was of a comfortable size (though the bathroom was large) and the decor was contemporary. I found the bed to be a little hard. Breakfast was included in the price of the room and this included a choice of cereals, fruit, yoghurts and a full English breakfast, for which there was also a vegetarian option. The food was good quality and was served promptly by the very efficient staff. The hotel has a comfortable lounge and small bar where guests can relax. There didn't appear to be a lift so the hotel is probably not suitable for people who have difficulty climbing stairs. The cost was reasonable and compared very favourably to other similar hotels in the area. We would definately stay here again.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Corolle; City: Florence Tuscany; Review: I stayed for 2 nights on a business trip. The hotel is convenient for the hospital district but around a twenty minute bus ride away from the centre of Florence. The hotel advertises that it has a bar but when I checked in at 9.30 at night after a long day of travelling I was told very clearly by the receptionist that there was nowhere in the hotel that I could get anything to eat or drink. The reception area is dated and and the rooms are very basic. The mattress and pillows were well overdue for replacement. There was an old looking air conditioning unit on the wall and the mismatching furniture was extremely dated and worn. The bathroom was small and equally in need of refurbishment with a wetroom style shower, so everything got wet when the shower was running. There were no tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The breakfast buffet offered a very limited choice (e.g. 2 cereals). I found the staff to be utterly unhelpful and uninterested in the guests. I will not be returning and would not recommend this hotel to anyone.; Rating: 1.0/5.0
Title: Somerville Hotel; City: St Aubin St Brelade Jersey Channel Islands; Review: We stayed for 2 nights over the Easter bank holiday. The hotel is well-situated overlooking St Aubin harbour. As one of the larger hotels in St Aubin it has a striking hillside location a few minutes walk uphill from the centre. The room was spacious and clean with a large comfortable bed and an excellent view. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful though we found some of the restaurant staff to be less so. We arrived around one hour before the check-in time but this wasn't a problem at all and we were shown straight to our room. Breakfast was delayed by 30 minutes one morning as our order had been lost. The lack of apology was more irritating than the delay. We had planned to eat in the hotel "Tides" restaurant but decided not to after this experience. The hotel has a lovely terraced garden and outdoor pool and several lounge areas to relax. The journey from the airport takes around 20 minutes by taxi (£10) or you can take the regular Liberty bus, which stops around a 5 to 10 minute walk away from the hotel.; Rating: 4.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Tannbergerhof; City: Lech Vorarlberg Austrian Alps; Review: We stayed at the Tannbergerhof for a week just before Christmas. The hotel has a very friendly feel and everyone went out of their way to ensure that our needs were met from the moment we arrived; when we were shaken by the hand by the receptionist before she took us to our room. We stayed in a standard room, which was of a reasonable size, had a beautiful bathroom and was exceptionally clean. The bed was extremely comfortable with a memory foam mattress. We received daily fruit and petit fois as well as a free massage during our stay and a welcome drink. The housekeeping staff were very attentive and professional. The daily breakfast buffet Was extensive and the five course evening meal served by the friendly waiters in the guests' restaurant was of excellent quality. The hotel also has an a la carte restaurant but we didn't feel a need to try it as the food in the guests' restaurant was so good. They offered a meat, fish or vegetarian option each evening and were more than happy to cater for special dietary requests. There is a lively apres ski bar at the front of the hotel with a good atmosphere but we weren't disturbed by any noise from the bar in our room. The only thing we didn't like was that smoking is permitted in the bar (though thankfully not in the restaurant). Access to the slopes is excellent from the hotel; the main chair lift is just across the road and the ski area is extensive. The ski pass also included use of the ski bus to other villages such as Zurs and Zug. Lech is a scenic village and was busy enough to give it a good atmosphere but not over crowded. We would definitely recommend this hotel and this ski resort. The number of people we met who return year on year speaks for itself!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Gotthard; City: Lech Vorarlberg Austrian Alps; Review: After skiing in Lech last winter we spent a week at the Gotthard in July, which we booked through Crystal holidays. When we booked the holiday the flight times were advertised as in the morning but this was changed to late afternoon meaning that we arrived at the hotel at around 9.30pm, which felt like we'd wasted our first day. We were very impressed when we arrived to find that the hotel staff had kept the restaurant open for us. We were welcomed by the very friendly and helpful reception staff who showed us to our room. Even though it's a reasonably sized hotel, the owners; Nicole and Clemens along with their team of staff, make you feel like you've been welcomed into the family home by adding personal touches. We found them receptive and very attentive - on the 2nd evening guests were invited to have a welcome cocktail with them in the comfortable and beautifully furnished bar; and they even made me a birthday cake! The family also run the bakery next door, so the hotel is known for it's great range of bread and pastries. The hotel has pleasant gardens and is in a great location; just a few minutes' walk from the main telecabin and plaza, the bus stops and the start of the many hikes and walks that Lech offers. The room was a reasonable size and had lots of wardrobe and storage space along with a good sized safe. It was maintained to an excellent standard and was kept pristinely clean (as is Lech itself!). Our only minor criticism would be that the room was very warm even with the window open and there didn't seem to be a way to control the temperature within the room. The large bed was very comfortable and the pleasant decor was a mix of traditional and contemporary. We had an end room, which had a larger balcony, that looked out over the stunning mountain views. We were pleased that smoking is not permitted in the rooms or public areas (we previously found this not to be the case in some other hotels in Lech). The rooms are equipped with an umberella, a beech bag (to carry towels etc. to the spa) and a daysack for guests to use during their stay; just an example of the thoughtfulness of the owners. As part of our package they even provided packed lunches every day, which were always ready for us at reception as we set out on a daily hike. We stayed half board, which included a five course dinner each evening; this starts off with a salad buffet, then guests can choose from meat, fish or vegetarian options for the main course. The breakfast buffet was served all morning so you can relax and have a lie in bed some mornings without missing breakfast! The restaurant and bar staff were all friendly and helpful. The hotel has a reasonably sized indoor pool and lovely spa/sauna area and also offers massages, which we found to be good value (€65 for a; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Caesius Thermae Spa Resort; City: Bardolino Province of Verona Veneto; Review: We spent a week at the Caesius (pronounced chessius) in July. The hotel is surrounded by a lovely garden and is located opposite the lake on the main road towards Bardolino, which is around a 15 to 20-minute walk away, most of which can be done on a footpath by the lake, once you've crossed the busy road. The reception area is large and airy. Check-in was efficient and staff were friendly and welcoming. Our room (2nd floor, pool view with balcony) was a good size with lots of storage space and tea, coffee and a kettle were provided. The room we had (353) had a bathroom that would be suitable for people with a physical disability. It was large and the shower surround could be folded back to enable wheelchair access. The shower was very average though. Robes and slippers are provided, as are flip-flops to use by the pool but if you open these it will cost you 5 Euros.The bed was comfortable but if you want comfortable pillows you have to pay 5 Euros per stay extra! The ones provided were flat and uncomfortable. Wi-Fi is available but the connection is very slow. The room was cleaned to a good standard, as was the rest of the hotel. We booked half board but there are so many lovely restaurants in and around Bardolino that we wished we'd just booked B&B. The food at the hotel was good; an extensive breakfast buffet and the option of a 5 course evening meal. The restaurant opens for breakfast at 7am each day but the hot buffet wasn't out at this time, which was frustrating on days that we were going off on trips and had pick-ups at 7.20 am (though the hotel does offer a cold packed breakfast if you're being picked up before breakfast time). A salad buffet with a great choice is available every evening to start your meal and a great cheese selection and fresh fruit is available in abundance at every meal. The restaurant staff are friendly and helpful but seem over-stretched and there was generally some issue most days (wrong main course served twice, attempted to take plates whilst still eating twice, wrong wine served....). Generally the issue was corrected quickly and apologies offered and it didn't spoil the meal. During the day food is served at the pool bar, which can get very busy and where the service is very, very slow and you can be ignored for a considerable length of time. There is also a lovely patio area where entertainment is provided on some evenings but this area again doesn't seem sufficiently staffed so you can wait a long time to be offered a drink. The hotel has excellent spa facilities, offering extensive treatments and the hotel has two pools; one indoor (warm) and one outside (which isn't heated). Spa treatment prices are as expected for this type of hotel - I paid 74 euros for a 50-minute facial. Overall, this is a good quality hotel with some very pleasant and helpful staff.

Title: Hostellerie des Guides; City: Breuil Cervinia Valtournenche Valle d Aosta; Review: We stayed for a week on a skiing trip. The hotel is in an excellent location for the main chair lift and the town. It's a quirky, family-run hotel with lots of mountaineering memorabilia and huge potential. The room was a better size than expected with a seating area in a small recess. There was no TV in the room, which was quite refreshing in some ways! The walls are wood clad with lots of quirky features like a hatch between the bathroom and sitting area! The bathroom was very compact and very dated with an odd dark wood cupboard arrangement over the bath (there was no shower). You need to take care not to bang your head when you stand up to get out of the bath. One day whilst taking a bath I caught sight of under the toilet rim opposite - it was filthy. I cleaned it the best I could without any cleaning equipment but this really isn't a job one would choose during a holiday!The towels were not changed at all during the week. The information said they would be changed once per week but I (clearly incorrectly) took this to mean one change during the week. Beds were made daily but very little cleaning was done all week. There were only 2 electrical sockets in our room and they looked very dated - we felt nervous to plug anything in! We ate in the restaurant once and the service was good and the food was nice. Breakfast very basic - bread, a few cereals, cold boiled eggs, cheese and a few fruit yogurts available. Breakfast is served at low tables in the bar/lounge area rather than the restaurant. The heating in the hotel is only on for a limited time each day. It came on around 7am to 9am then again around 4pm to around 11pm - so take some jumpers! There is a comfortably furnished lounge and bar but it is incredibly cold in the public areas at all times and in the rooms outside the scheduled heating times - blankets are provided in the bar. The hotel has two dogs, which we loved. The hotel is on the Main Street and close to two nightclubs, so we could hear the late night revellers some nights. You have to leave your room key on hooks in the hall when you are out -they say it's secure as it's monitored by CCTV. There was no room safe but the wardrobe door locked. There was plenty of drawer and wardrobe space. No kettle or drink making equipment. The bed was a good size. We loved Cirvinia; the town is a reasonable size and fairly lively. The mountain is ideal for intermediates, it's high so the snow quality was good and there are lots of good quality restaurants on the mountain. We will go back to Cervinia but won't be returning to this hotel.; Rating: 2.0/5.0
Title: Hotel Gardenia Villa Charme; City: Bardolino Province of Verona Veneto; Review: From the minute we arrived for our week's stay, the service was fantastic. The hotel team cannot do enough to ensure your holiday is perfect. When we checked in we were welcomed with a free drink and given lots of helpful information. Our room was nicely furnished and had plenty of storage space. The bathroom was modern and equipped with a large shower and a hairdryer. The room, and the entire hotel, were spotlessly clean and well maintained. We found the mattress a little too firm but as soon as we mentioned this to the reception staff it was swapped for a softer mattress! The hotel serves a nice buffet breakfast with an option of eggs or omelette as well as the cold buffet. The breakfast restaurant is pleasant and extends out onto a lovely patio area. The hotel has a pool situated directly outside and guests also have access to the Villa Charme pool and jacuzzi just a few steps away. The hotel offers bike hire at a very reasonable price and also booked a couple of excursions for us. There are lovely lake views from the hotel and it takes around 10 minutes to walk into the centre of Bardolino. This hotel really understands customer service. It would be hard to find anything that could be improved. I would highly recommend it.; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: The Grange Guest House; City: Thornton Le Dale North York Moors National Park North Yorkshir; Review: We stayed at the Grange with four friends for a weekend break. The owners; Steve and Jacqui were fantastic. Steve welcomed us, took our case to the room and throughout the stay they were both great. Steve even ran us to our restaurant when the taxi let us down! The guest house is immaculate and beautifully finished and decorated. We were able to relax with our friends in the comfortable lounge, with access to the drinks fridge, a piano and lots of books and games. Steve and Jacqui were there if we needed anything but didn’t interfere. The bedrooms were lovely with modern bathrooms and equipped with a hairdryer and tea and coffee making facilities. Breakfast was delicious, freshly cooked and served in the dining room with a view of the garden. Everything was perfect.; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | hotelrec |

Title: Timbuk2 Classic Messenger Bag; Brand: Timbuk2; Review: Absolutely Love My Bag!!! I bought the large in the Carbon Full Twill, and it exceeded my expectations for a first time Timbuk2 purchaser. Very stylish color, will go with just about any outfit, outerwear, and etc. The large was a little bigger than I expected, but as a current student and full time employee in the healthcare industry it fits everything in it that I need on a daily basis, from textbooks, binders, laptop, etc, etc. It fits my 15.6" Lenovo laptop in the back section perfect. Love that the whole bag is lined with their waterproof material, and it went through its first New England summer rain storm better than my expectations, not a single thing was even damp. My one downfall if I had to have one, would be that I am 6'4", and the strap let out to the max, allows the bag to hang a little bit higher up on my hip than I normally carried my old bag, but after using for a week, I adjusted quickly. Living in a more rural area, I wasn't expecting to use the bike strap, but quickly found it to be just as convenient for holding the bag in place over my shoulder, and stop the swinging from side to side motion while walking farther distances and uphills. I believe that durability will not be an issue, so I plan on being a Timbuk2 purchaser for life now, thinking about getting another in a smaller size for those days where less daily "luggage" is required, but in my current situation, the large is perfect. Will update this in the future if any of my opinions happen to change, but I don't for see that happening....; Rating: 5.0/5.0
Title: Timbuk2 Commute Messenger Bag; Brand: Timbuk2; Review: This is my 2nd Timbuk2 messenger bag, and I absolutely love it! This commute messenger bag is extremely handy for many purposes, work, school, travel, and many more. The laptop/electronic section is much easier to access if your using one of these more often, as well as being very convenient for travel purposes as well. I ordered the medium size for this bag, and suits my everyday needs perfectly. I have a large sized classic messenger as well which is perfect for a more bulkier day around. Would recommend their bags to anyone looking for style and quality!!; Rating: 5.0/5.0 | amazon_Clothing_Shoes_and_Jewelry |

Title: SharkNinja BL641 Food Blender, One Size, Black/Silver; Brand: SharkNinja; Review: I love the Nutri Ninja Blender Duo with Auto-iQ! Every feature works well, especially smoothies.

Just a note - the blender is loud but powerful!; Rating: 5.0/5.0
