Countdown of the Best Hotels in Vegas

Renato Compton July 17, 2018February 26, 2019 Holidays

Vegas is known for a great many things, its attitude towards gambling, the level of entertainment that is on offer, the debauchery and mayhem which can be found here, but above all else, Vegas is known for its world famous hotels. The hotels here take on an altogether very different approach to what a hotel should be, and many of these incredible buildings are far more than simply somewhere for you to lay your head. In true Vegas style the hotels here are ostentatious and fun-loving, and here are our top 3. read more

Spending 48 hours in Seattle, Washington

Renato Compton March 21, 2018 Holidays

Seattle is one of those special places that everyone should visit at least once in their lives. I love everything that the city has to offer, whether it is the nature, history, culture, sights, or even just the amazing IHG hotels in Seattle. It is also one that I would recommend to any of my friends, family, and readers. I wrote this short guide to give you a taste of what Seattle is all about, and how you can spend 48 hours there.

Fun by the Sea

Renato Compton December 19, 2017January 18, 2018 Fun, Holidays

If you are thinking of taking your summer holidays this year in the United Kingdom then you might want to consider going down to the South of the country and check out the Cornish town of Looe. Although this small town may seem less appealing than some of the more popular areas of the county like Newquay, it has plenty to offer and there are lots of things to do near Looe and in Looe itself.

Historically the little village itself was and still is a fishing port but it was also a major smuggling village and if you take a trip to the local museum you can see lots of memorabilia related to the old highly illegal activity. If you have a younger family, a great activity and great fun for the kids is to go rock pooling with the local marine conservation society. The children will almost certainly enjoy scrambling around the rock pools after the tide has retreated and discover the various sea creatures that have been stranded by the outgoing sea. read more

Why I Love The Caribbean

Renato Compton February 17, 2017September 25, 2018 Holidays

There is no question that the Caribbean is a wonderful place. I absolutely love the beaches, great weather and the lifestyle there. To me it is a pretty unique travel destination that you can’t find anywhere else on earth. I especially enjoy luxury Caribbean vacations and I wanted to talk to you a little bit more about the things that I find special about taking a holiday there.

The culture

One thing to notice about being in the Caribbean is without a doubt the culture, there is this laid back attitude that you simply cannot find anywhere else on the world. It is also very difficult to describe, but once you see it you will notice it instantly. The best way I can describe it is that the people are simply open, relaxed and much more carefree than any of other place (holiday or not) that I have ever been to. I think this must come from the slower paced and easier lifestyle in the sun. read more

Cruises are fun whether you’re in a group or travelling solo. But, like with all holidays, if you’re travelling with a mate, it’s best to be well prepared. The following tips have been designed for those travelling as a couple. Whether you’re best friends, romantic, or anywhere in between, these tips will take all the drama out of your cruise.

Pick wisely

Some people are excellent friends, but terrible travel partners. Visualise your idea of a good time. Now, imagine that idea being played out by nearly everyone on your cruise, except you. Travelling with people who have conflicting ideas of “fun” can be testing and, most likely, you’ll leave the ship with a strained relationship and stressful memories. read more

Renato Compton September 30, 2015April 12, 2016 Fun, Holidays, Tips

Whenever anyone travels around the world they hope to experience it with some fun people or meet someone fun along the way. Of course solo travel has it benefits; you meet locals, go out of your way to speak to people and grow in self confidence.

One thing that I have learnt along the way is that meeting fun people from different cultures, countries and backgrounds is simply an amazing experience. The good news is that you don’t always have to do this whilst you are travelling! You can now meet new fun people around the world from the comfort of your own home. read more

Head to Mexico this summer

Renato Compton February 28, 2014 Holidays

Mexico has to be one of the best places to take a holiday, it has absolutely everything you need to have the perfect summer break. I really did love my time in Mexico because everything was just great, I couldn’t find fault anything at all. Well, maybe it was a little too hot at midday, but is that really a complaint? With the weather the way it is back in the UK right now and a new place flooded every time we turn on the news I don’t think any of us would complain about the weather being too hot! I was lucky enough to book my Mexico holidays with Direct Holidays, they were able to give me some great advice about what I should see and do. They were also extremely accommodating when it came to finding the best possible price for me, I paid such a low amount for my holiday I almost felt bad, almost! read more
