Our room was big and very quiet. I love a quiet room! No noise from other rooms or anyone else’s plumbing. A very big, very comfortable bed. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff were lovely. We really enjoyed the spa and the rooftop pool area. Excellent breakfast and a great location. If I go to Faro again I would always stay here.

Nice and safe location walking distance to Sagrada Familia, busses and metro. Near cafes and restaurants too. Very good service, and very clean . I did not include breakfast in our stay. There are many Cafes nearby for breakfast and a quick meal. Thanks Acta Antibes you made us very happy.

I visited Castaways for a friends wedding. What a stunning site for a wedding. However I felt the venue itself is in need of modernising or upgrading. Some aspects are starting to look quite tired and my partner mentioned the men's toilets were disgusting. The food was pretty average for a wedding and the service staff were also pretty average, the bar staff were mostly standing around doing nothing and it took quite some time to get a drink. I know how much this venue costs as I looked at it for my own wedding and I'm glad I didn't get married here as I would have been disappointed.

During a previous visit to Madrid Constant Companion and I could not help but notice the queue to enter the Basilica of Jesus de Medinaceli. It went on for over three blocks. Curious, we did a little research since nothing about it appears in any of our English speaking travel guides. What we learned was that the Jesus de Medinaceli statue was carved in 17th Century Seville. Iit has traveled to Morocco, was captured by the Moors, was rescued for 30 coins(Miraculous), and went to Madrid in 1681 where it appeared in its annual first Friday in March procession for the first time. It also survived trips to Ceuta, Gibraltar, Valencia, Barcelona, Genoa etc. before being accidentally rescued again by the Republicans during the Spanish Civil War. Its current location--the Basilica de Jesus Mendinaceli- was consecrated in 1930. Note that while the entrance queue is blocks long it moves pretty quickly. We waited approximately 20 minutes to enter. When we did the queue to the statue on the second floor took another 10 minutes or so. Mondrileños believe that the statue is miraculous and queue to kiss its feet and to make three requests. A mass was occurring when we attended and the basilica was completely full. There are a number of beautiful side chapels and another in the basement worth viewing. This is a beautiful statue and basilica with a large and very devout following. Make an effort to visit this basilica! We are sure you will be glad that you did!!
A coastal adventure minus the crowd
Escape the crowds and experience the Great Ocean Road in reverse. Start your journey from Melbourne and take the inland route where you’ll arrive first at the Twelve Apostles where you can watch the wave hit against the limestone stacks. Then, head on next to marvel at the Razorback, a jagged rock formation not far from the Twelve Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge where you can listen to your guide tell you the legend behind the 1878 shipwreck.
Spot wildlife and indulge in sweet treats
Move on Mait’s Rest in Great Otway National Park, where you enjoy a guided rainforest walk under towering beech and myrtle trees. Who knows, you might spot some kangaroos peering at you from the greenery. Next, stop for lunch (at your own expense) at the coastal town of Apollo Bay before heading to Kennett River where you can spot koalas napping in eucalyptus trees. End your tour with a sweet stop at the Great Ocean Road Chocolaterie & Ice Creamery at Anglesea where you can choose from over 144 flavors before heading back to Melbourne.
