shirley :wave:
Please don't think I am against any nationality, I just don't like being in a hotel with the majority of guests .
comming from the same country. As I live in Germany I once booked a package tour to Tenerife, the hotel had 90% German guests, I had tried hard to learn some spanish phrases, but did the staff want to know :duh , they expected me to use german, and wern't interested in helping me with the spanish.
Now I always make certain that where I stay has mixed nationalities. sorry mods for being :offtop
xx lassi

    Pricing - budget probaably sits high on the list
    facilities, i.e. entertainment, pool, restaurants - the more the better, bars, shuttle bus to town that kind of thing

Good weather in our winter (its when we take our main holiday)
Good accommodation - pref 4/5 star
Interesting culturally with multi-centre possibilities.
Good local cuisine
value for money (not to be equated with cheap).

Those are just some of the criteria we apply for our main break - numerous others apply as well but I was only allowed five. Have different criteria for any summer breaks we take as these are cheapies (VFM usually applies here).

I'm not fussy, 5* suits me fine, in a tall glass over ice, topped with lemonade and drunk with a straw on a hot beach :cheers :sun2

Try it with Ben Shaws Yellow lemonade!
A quality pop, available from Suncharm, Huddersfield. You'll never get a better mixer.
