A few snaps from yesterday. Didn’t get much time to enjoy the city as it took 3 hours to get out of the airport…more from me on this to come.

Staying in the Art Inn Hotel, a quirky boutique property in a large shopping district. It has a cool rooftop bar/restaurant. Last night’s Cosmopolitan cost approximately £12.00.

Today is Day 1 of my Cruise educational trip so watch this space for lots of Cruise content!

Twin Centre Holidays give you the best of both worlds.

They can also make your money go further. Combining two locations into one holiday may sound complicated but it really isn’t and with my own personal experience of twin and multi centres, I know what works and what doesn’t.

Here are just a handful of twin centre ideas for you but there really are so many possibilities.

Save this post for inspiration and drop me a DM when you’re ready to start planning.

Is All Inclusive good value for money?

My answer…it depends on the hotel you opt for because some hotels do it much better than others. You will see that a lot of All Inclusive offerings, particularly in Europe, will only include dining from the buffet restaurant for example. This won’t necessarily suit those foodies amongst us who enjoy an A La Carte experience.

It’s not just the dining that’s important to All Inclusive. It’s the quality of the drinks, the facilities included, the kids and teens clubs and your in-room amenities that are just as important, and much more.

On my research into quality All Inclusive offerings, I think Ikos Resorts have just “got it”. They are 5 star, high end hotels so won’t suit everyone’s budget, but what they provide is exceptional value for money. Perfect for foodies especially those who enjoy Michelin Star dining.

Ikos have hotels in Mainland Spain, Mallorca, Greece, Corfu, Kos and now Crete with the recent opening of Ikos Kissamos.

If you’re looking for an All Inclusive offering in Europe and don’t know where to start, let’s have a no obligation chat to see what might suit you.

Imagine being able to walk to the falls before the crowds descend…you can do this here.

Talking to .hotels.international yesterday head office, this hotel captured my imagination and I have to share it with you.

Iguazu Falls should be on your itinerary when visiting South America and this hotel is your destination. It has a private walkway to the falls exclusive to guests staying at the hotel which allows you to get up close and personal with this epic natural phenomenon before the tourists arrive.

Sound good? DM me and let’s plan your adventure.

Real Client Photos ✨

My clients are currently at Eva Palace by GRECOTEL HOTELS & RESORTS.

How gorgeous does their private pool look? What a view. This is an amazing feature of the Romantic Villa which is one of many accommodation options here. Imagine basking in the sunshine overlooking that stunning view?

And how about that sunset over dinner? Wow. This is just one of the 4 restaurants you can dine at here.

This hotel is set on the gorgeous island of Corfu on the Kommeno Peninsular. A unique spot that is popular with couples seeking romance and families seeking to reconnect in luxury.

Tell me in the comments: is a private pool one of your non-negotiables?
