Vive Mexico (Los Cabos)

0


San José del Cabo to the northeast, Cabo San Lucas at the southern tip — bracket a twenty-mile seacoast ‘Corridor,’ home to a range of elegant hotels, and to a collection championship golf courses. Los Cabos is at the southern tip of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula. Approaching by air across the Sea of Cortés (which separates the Baja from the rest of Mexico) the visitor first sees contrast: the craggy peaks of the Sierra de la Laguna form a backdrop to miles of golden beach, blue water and dramatic red rock formations; saguaro cactus, palms and cultivated gardens cover the pale gold desert landscape. Cabo San Lucas is best identified by the image of the world famous rock arch formation “El Arco” where the Pacific meets the warm water of the Sea of Cortes.

A Stag Do To Remember In Dublin

0

Stag dos bring with them a mixture of feelings. Some of us dread the thought of all that organisation and the morning after – though it’s arguably hardest for the groom-to-be; but plenty of us also relish the thought of getting dug in to a night of drinking and debauchery.

Dublin in Ireland is well known as a party city and, when it comes to stag nights, the Irish capital really comes to life. With so many excellent pubs, bars and clubs available – and all within stumbling distance of one another – you couldn’t go wrong by organising your stag do here.

Whether you’re from Dublin itself or further afield, the friendly streets of the city are fantastically-ordered for a stag night. Whether you’re hoping to spend it quietly with close friends or go mad throughout the city, you’ll find ample opportunities to suit your needs at your fingertips. From your Dublin hotel, start with a few quiet ones to get your imaginations going before heading off to one of the busier pubs or bars. The Temple Bar area is well-known for accommodating some of the best pubs for stag dos and you can’t go wrong by visiting this spot for at least part, if not all, of your evening.

Let the groom-to-be make the choices that he could end up regretting in the morning and you’re sure to have a laugh all night as it takes unexpected twists or turns. Or, if you prefer knowing how things are going to go, why not organise a pub crawl where you can plan to be in certain establishments at each hour? No matter how you plan your stag do in Dublin, one thing is guaranteed: it’ll be a night to remember for the groom-to-be and all of his closest friends accompanying him on his ‘last night of freedom’. Because it’s nights like these that will stay with you for a long time and form a significant memory in your friendship.

And finally, towards the end of one of the most exciting nights of the year, just ensure that – no matter where the night takes you – when it’s time to go home you’re conveniently close to one of the welcoming Dublin hotels you’re staying in for your trip away – or within a taxi-hailing locale.

And, whatever happens on your stag do in Dublin, remember one thing: whatever happens in Dublin, stays in Dublin!

Ski Holiday Accommodation Tips

0

You probably won’t be spending a great deal of time in your ski resort accommodation; your days will most likely be spent enjoying the slopes and your evenings will probably be filled with the delights of what the resorts après-ski has to offer.

However, you ski holidays accommodation will become an important place to unwind and recharge your energy. Where you stay is therefore quite an important thing to consider before you embark on a ski holiday.

Some things to remember:

• The size of your party will dictate what accommodation will suit you best. For example, a couple travelling on their own is probably best suited to a hotel, while small groups are more ideally suited to self catering apartments. For people travelling in a large group then a chalet is probably a better option.

• Avoid ski holidays during peak seasons if you can. By doing so you will save yourself a fortune. New Year, Easter and February half-terms are the times when prices are going to be at their highest.

• If you have members of the group who are non-skiers, then the type of accommodation you choose will be more important then usual. They will probably be spending more time in it then everyone else, so it’s doubtful that they would be too impressed if the ski holidays accommodation was small and uncomfortable.

• Prices can vary considerably between resorts. For example, a three-star hotel, in a high-end ski resort such as Courchevel will be more expensive than an equivalent hotel in a less up-market resort.
