There was some construction going on next to the pool but that will only make it better in the future. ##### Travis Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Vladimir 31 Oct 2022 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you for a good job!!! ##### Vladimir Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Alti Santorini Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santorini-Hotels-Alti-Santorini-Suites.h8061478.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Beach Resort Palm Jumeirah](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubai-Hotels-Radisson-Beach-Resort-Palm-Jumeirah.h83977557.Hotel-Information) > > [VillageHotels Hotels in South Wales](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Wales-Hotels-Village-Hotels.0-0-d6054274--bVillageHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Garforth](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garforth-Hotels.d4985.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Lake District Castle Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Lake-District-Castle-Inn.h527764.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Vincci Maritimo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Hotels-Vincci-Maritimo.h912533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Corte Rosada, Affiliated by Melia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alghero-Hotels-Hotel-Corte-Rosada-ResortSpa-Adults-Only.h2073794.Hotel-Information) > > [Hôtel Bowmann](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Hotel-Bowmann.h22632950.Hotel-Information) > > [Church Walk House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ulverston-Hotels-Church-Walk-House.h28804770.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western Fowey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lostwithiel-Hotels-Best-Western-Fowey-Valley.h34173.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Yazici Marmaris Palace - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marmaris-Hotels-Grand-Yazici-Marmaris-Palace-All-Inclusive.h1264845.Hotel-Information) > > [Courtyard by Marriott Munich City Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Munich-Hotels-Courtyard-By-Marriott-Munich-City-Center.h1499054.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Blackburn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackburn-Hotels-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d4573-tLuxuryHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Devizes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Devizes-Hotels.d182507.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotel Ninfa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Puerto-Ayora-Hotels-Hotel-Ninfa.h10087137.Hotel-Information) > > [Island Grand at TradeWinds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Petersburg-Clearwater-Hotels-TradeWinds-Island-Grand.h1914.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort d'Auvergne Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/St-Helier-Hotels-Fort-DAuvergne-Hotel.h5267069.Hotel-Information) > > [Ferman Hilal Hotel - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-Ferman-Hilal-Hotel.h3978289.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree By Hilton Hotel & Spa Liverpool](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Liverpool-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-Spa-Liverpool.h7422046.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Air China Gatwick (LGW) to Narita (NRT) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/air-china-from-gatwick-to-narita-intl/ca/lgw/nrt) > > [Flights from Gatwick (LGW) to Johannesburg (JNB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lgw/jnb/london-to-johannesburg) > > [Flights from Guatemala City (GUA) to Managua (MGA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/gua/mga/guatemala-city-to-managua) > > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Bilbao (BIO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/bio/east-midlands-to-bilbao) > > [Flights from Skiathos (JSI) to Athens (ATH)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/jsi/ath/skiathos-to-athens) > > [Flights from Stroud (GLO) to Bishop's Stortford (STN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/glo/stn/gloucester-to-london) ### Activities > [Things to do in Albena](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Albena.d6208667.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Incekum](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Incekum.d6054870.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Shibuya Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shibuya.d179167.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### Holiday Rentals > [Westward Ho Holiday Rentals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Westward-Ho-Holiday-Rentals.d3000009368.Travel-Guide-HolidayRentals) ### General > [Visit Puerto Banús](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marbella-Puerto-Banus.dx6340475)
