Thanks! I have just posted my blog, it's a bit shorter than it could have been but I did not want anyone falling asleep while reading it [:D]

Excellent! Sounds like you had a good time inspite of the problems!

Reminds me of a hotel I once stayed in!

Having just read it back I made so many typos [:D]

Also I failed to mention the nightmare trip home. We were delayed 4 hours all for a 2 hour and 25 minute flight, not impressed with our Holiday Provider at all. We will not use them again I tells you!

Then we got train from Manchester home, I lost my bus fare and had to walk 4 miles home with my suitcase after having been without any sleep for 31 hours. By the time I did all my stuff I needed to do and got to bed I had been awake for 40 hours straight, not hood [:(]

Lesley I had the same problem with my resort as it had mixed reviews, needless to say I am writing own review for it for every review site I can find while I'm at work tomorrow!!

I'm expecting to get what I paid for and not expecting 5*, so anything above will be a bonus x

I use trip advisor for the photos as they say a picture is worth a 1000 words. I find people only tend to write reviews if they have had an absolutely fabulous trip or an awful one there are very few middle of the road ones, I know myself if a holiday was OK but nothing special I don't bother writing a review. The pictures are really helpful though tells me what sea views are like, size of rooms, pools, type of sand at the beach etc.
If life is what you make it, I must have been in a strange mood when I made mine

I should have read Trip Advisor before we went to our hotel from hell - even the homeless would have turned their noses up at it, and if we could have afforded to have paid and gone elsewhere, we would have done!
