Meglio accordarsi prima o andare a fare la spesa con loro se si ha tempo. Una volta se ne è andata la luce ma dopo poco è ritornata, hanno attivato il gruppo elettrogeno probabilmente che faceva rumore dal mio appartamento. Dopo un' ora ha smesso. ##### MARIA GRAZIA Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Olare Mara Kempinski Masai Mara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Olare-Mara-Kempinski-Masai-Mara.h5982297.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Aruba Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Voi-Hotels-Ashnil-Aruba-Lodge.h12761761.Hotel-Information) > > [Ashnil Mara Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Ashnil-Mara-Camp.h12748836.Hotel-Information) > > [Billionaire Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malindi-Hotels-Lion-In-The-Sun-Hotel.h5234263.Hotel-Information) > > [andBeyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-AndBeyond-Kichwa-Tembo-Tented-Camp-All-Inclusive.h48508310.Hotel-Information) > > [Muthu Lake Naivasha Country Club, Naivasha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Lake-Naivasha-Country-Club.h4489107.Hotel-Information) > > [Sentrim Elementaita Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sentrim-Elementaita-Lodge.h9796572.Hotel-Information) > > [Salt Lick Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Taita-Hills-Hotels-Salt-Lick-Safari-Lodge.h1737570.Hotel-Information) > > [Flamingo Hill Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/FLAMINGO-HILL-TENTED-CAMP.h48517186.Hotel-Information) > > [Sun N Sand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mtwapa-Hotels-Sun-N-Sand-Beach-Resort.h22405447.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mount Kenya Safari](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Fairmont-Mount-Kenya-Safari.h1554906.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Bush Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Bush-Camp.h9851393.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nakuru-Hotels-Sarova-Lion-Hill-Game-Lodge.h1507255.Hotel-Information) > > [Ol Tukai Lodge Amboseli](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Ol-Tukai-Lodge-Amboseli.h7050582.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Intrepids Tented Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Intrepids-Tented-Camp.h4233348.Hotel-Information) > > [Fig Tree Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fig-Tree-Camp.h1856048.Hotel-Information) > > [Ngulia Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tsavo-Hotels-Ngulia-Safari-Lodge.h9817070.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Engai Wilderness Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Engai-Wilderness-Lodge.h12423942.Hotel-Information) > > [Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Amboseli-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h978634.Hotel-Information) > > [Rondo Retreat Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kakamega-Hotels-Rondo-Retreat-Centre.h22484572.Hotel-Information) > > [Family-Friendly Hotels in Madeira Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Madeira-Island-Hotels-Family-Friendly-Hotel.0-0-d11326-tFamilyFriendlyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sentrim Amboseli Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Sentrim-Amboseli-Lodge.h9797169.Hotel-Information) > > [Mara Serena Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Mara-Serena-Safari-Lodge.h526955.Hotel-Information) > > [Governors' Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Governors-Camp.h15044971.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Mara Safari Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Fairmont-Mara-Safari-Club.h1544563.Hotel-Information) > > [Karen Blixen Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Karen-Blixen-Camp.h40597380.Hotel-Information) > > [Sarova Mara Game Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maasai-Mara-Hotels-Sarova-Mara-Game-Camp.h1558998.Hotel-Information) > > [Treetops](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nanyuki-Hotels-Treetops.h11091551.Hotel-Information) > > [Kibo Safari Camp](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amboseli-Hotels-Kibo-Safari-Camp.h14826564.Hotel-Information) ### Activities > [Things to do in Calpe](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Calpe.d6034540.Travel-Guide-Activities)
