Barcelona is known for its great nightlife and it offers some other great attractions. No matter what the reason for your visit to Barcelona, you need a good hotel in Barcelona.

You will find that every hotel in Barcelona offers great hotel stays in addition to its other attractions. The hotels reviewed are Casa Camper Hotel, The Hotel Arts, Neri Hotel, and Hesperia Sarria.

Casa Camper Hotel received some nice comments from guests. It has 25 rooms that are decorated in creative fashions that match the amazing décor of the entire hotel. Extras, like minibar and room service, are included in the base cost so you do not end up with a huge bill at check out. It is a short walk to P. Catalvyna and close to the city. For those that like quiet nights , the Casa Camper Hotel is removed enough from the nightlife so it provides a quite sleeping environment. The Casa Camper hotel in Barcelona received great reviews and was listed as well worth checking out.

The Hotel Arts hotel in Barcelona has 402 rooms and is located on the beach. While not every hotel in Barcelona is not usually known for its beaches, the location does provide beautiful views. It is not quite near the city, so you must travel to get to attractions. The nearby restaurants provide wonderful cuisine that makes the location desirable. They are said to have some of the best beds a hotel in Barcelona can offer. The cost of The Hotel Arts does discourage some guests and extras are not included in this base price. Overall, it was reviewed as a great hotel, but not really worth the price.

The Neri Hotel in Barcelonahas artistic décor that draws you into their 22 room establishment. With the use of stone and wood, the décor is beautiful. The rooms are cozy and they offer you the choice of five different sheet types. It is advised that you get good directions to the hotel because it is hard to find. There are no scenic views, but the attention to detail in all the aspects of this hotel makes up for that. Overall, this hotel was said to have exceptional service and created an amazing experience for visitors, making it a must.

The Hesperia Sarria has 134 rooms and is located in a quiet area of Barcelona. It is within walking distance to the train station (Les Tres Torres) and many other attractions. There are locked minibars and safes provided in the modern and clean rooms. There is a restaurant on site, although guests say you may never try it because of the closeness of so many other great bars and restaurants. This was noted by gests to be a great buy.

These four hotels all received good and bad reviews. The descriptions above were taken from majority opinions. While all provided nice stays, some stuck out in the crowd. There are many, many alterntives for a hotel in Barcelona and these are only just a small sample of the great service you can receive.

Just when I thought we had hit bottom (travel deals, I mean), the rates are getting lower!  I have outlined the best deals I have seen through out the Caribbean, airfare sale and a special Tahiti deal that will blow your mind!

This is a MUST READ if you are thinking of taking the family on vacation between now and next Fall.

There are more kids stay free deals than ever seen before. I also notice the additional costs for upgrading to suites or having connecting rooms are being cut up to 60%!

Another change I notice is the increase in resort and cruise credits.
Cruise ships always made their real profit by what they sell on the ship such as alcohol, clothes, tours, etc. Now more than ever before, the cruise lines are offering up to $300 on board ship credit.

The trend for resorts to also offer credits is growing tremendously. Resort credit used to be something I saw in the low season or an infrequent special. Resort credit can go towards spa, tours, golf, drinks and food if it is not an all inclusive, or simply fun nick knacks.

When you see these credits in the deal, always check what it is for and make sure it is valid on the dates you are going. Once verifies, just think of it like someone handed you cash towards spending money on your vacation.

Here are a few very new amazing deals for families this Spring, Summer & Fall!  Some of these deals have not even been published yet, so take advantage of them and happy traveling!

Caribbean Family Vacations:
I had to check this one a few times because it looked to good to be true, but it is correct:

CheapCaribbean’s 48 hour sale, all inclusive three star resorts for $48 per person, per night. Yes, all inclusive – meals, taxes, drinks, activities, kids activities, etc…many of these resorts allow children under 12 free, so all you have to pay is the airfare!  I would compare the resorts on sale to a nice Holiday Inn, this resort is midway between deluxe and moderate. The deal is for travel from May – June 30, a perfect family trip before summer activites begin.

Check out all of the $48 deals for families! This sale ends 11:59pm Friday, April 3.

Apple Vacations’ Spring Savings Sale! If you do not see your gateway, they may still have it, using the booking engine on the top of the page. It is really cool as you can specify your needs when you begin (airport, amount of people, budget, amount of nights, etc) and that will reflect every deal you click on. This eliminates the irritating task of having to fill out your information over and over to shop around. The lead pricing is $459+: 60% off: All-Inclusives w/Air.

Apple Vacations charters their own planes, so the airfare is very reasonable. The add-ons for different gateways are reasonable as well.  $499 per adult for 3 nights all inclusive five-star resort including airfare, two kids under 12 stay and fly for $199 per child!  Not interested in the all inclusive, ok, there are resort deals for $599.99 including 7 night resort stay and airfare!

Future Vacations is running my favorite kind of deal – up to $300 in Spa and/or Golf Credit! Ahhh, I would have no problem using up that Spa Credit! The resort is Cancun Palace, a Four-Star beachfront, all inclusive. I stayed here years ago and it was ok, a bit run down and a little big for my taste. Now the resort has had a fuill make over, ready to impress.

The make over includes a redesigned pool, modern spa, five fine dining restaurants, six bars including two swim up bars and a Kid’s Club. All rooms have a double Jacuzzi, balcony, first class amenities and 24 hr room service. 24hr room service at an all inclusive is the coolest – you can feed the midnight munchy attack without having to worry about exhorbanent hotel bills!

BookIt.com, one of the best web sites I have found for extra amenities and all sorts of goodies is running a Dominic Republic All Inclusive Sale. All Inclusive start from $59 per person, per night with tons of kids free deals, room upgrades and more.

Airfare sale:

American Airlines has a major sale domestic right now with travel through August 14. Airfares are starting at $49 each way. What is extra special about this sale is tround trip is not required. So if you want to fly somewhere and go back rfom a different gateway, you dont have to deal with all of the extra charges. For a listing of all the gateways and prices, click here.

The top value of the week (drum roll…)

Tahiti – the trip of a life time, suddenly became more affordable. Air Tahiti Nui is also offering slashed rates and free air from Los Angeles for kids! Add-ons from other cities are reasonable.  The feature sale is $1698/per adult+: Air, Breakfast & 5nts Manava Suite Resort Tahiti- there are other options, more nights – this is the lead rate (best deal) and it is specifically designed for family vacations!

Learn why Panama City Beach, Florida is the place to visit for Spring Break and summer vacations. Our Panama City Beach Travel Advisir Jon Jon speaks out.

Everyone loves a white Christmas, but when the snow refuses to budge and treacherous ice makes your journey to work a living nightmare for weeks on end, then you could well be forgiven for wanting to quit the UK all together and start a new life in the sun.

If that seems a rather extreme reaction to the recent cold snap, then perhaps a shorter, less permanent spell in a warm country would do just as well. In fact now is the perfect time to look ahead and make sure you bypass the worst of next year’s British winter altogether – by flying to the other side of the world for a good few weeks.

Spending Christmas day on a beach with the sun shining, birds singing and a barbeque sizzling away on the sand might seem a strange idea to most Brits who are used to warm jumpers and a turkey dinner. But if you’re prepared to forgo a white Christmas and the idea of an afternoon opening presents on Bondi Beach appeals, then start looking for a new swimsuit.

If you plan on going as far as say Australia, then considering the distance, it makes sense to go for a decent amount of time and see as much as the country as you possibly can. But taking a family away on holiday for more than a week can pose a number of problems, including how much to pack and how on earth you’re going to fit it all into your suitcase. That’s where an international shipping firm can step in.

If carting enough of your belongings Down Under to last you a month is simply not practical, then consider using an international baggage shipping company to help lighten the load. Move your luggage by air, sea or land, depending on the speed you need it to reach its destination. Whichever method you choose though, it can be as easy as making a telephone call or logging onto the internet and you can have your effects picked up at the door and delivered to your destinatioshipping to Australia or some other exotic destination then make sure you choose an international shipping firm that has the experience to make you holiday a relaxing experience that you’ll remember forever.

In less than 2 months, the hottest beaches and cities will be overrun with wild and crazy college co-eds looking for a great time. It is that time of year known simply as “Spring Break”! The 2010 spring break season will bring in a much needed vacation for most. There are a host of places that you can choose to go, South Padre Island, Cancun, Daytona or Panama City Beach!

Depending on the size of the group that you are travelling with, your specific needs and desires – staying in hotels may not be the most desirable option for you. If that sounds like your situation, you’ll want to consider a beach home rental. Because Panama City isn’t as popular as lets say, South Beach – the vacation home rental prices tend to be a little cheaper.

The benefits of renting a beach house are numerous. Much like a hotel, the condos or beach homes are fully furnished. But unlike hotels, they come with full kitchens and usually have multiple bathrooms. Now these amenities may sound somewhat simple or irrelevant, but unless you are lucky enough to stay at an all-inclusive resort, the cost of food, drinks and snacks will be enormous. The access to a kitchen means that all of your friends can chip in for groceries and kitchen supplies, saving you a ton of money. There are several ways to save money on your rental – I’ll share them with you now:

1. Book early: No matter where you are going, making your reservations early is always the best way to go. In this case, the earlier you book – the better choices you’ll have. Rental units tend to fill up fast, you don’t want to get stuck with the left-overs. Get better value for your money with an early booking.

2. Do you really need an ocean view?: A room with a view is bound to cost more money. This goes for hotels and beach condos as well. People will pay top dollar for what they consider “prime” real estate. If you’re short on cash, ask for a rental that’s not directly on the beach, but within walking distance.

3. Don’t be afraid to negotiate: There are many reasons for increased rates during the Spring Break holiday, with the top reason being the unruliness and property damage risk that is usually associated with drunk college kids. Reach out to the property manager or home owner and see if there isn’t something that you do to negotiate a lower price in exchange for a higher deposit amount (assuming that your deposit is fully refundable) or a discount on the deposit altogether.

You will need to remember that renting a vacation home is still a big responsibility. You want to have fun, but you still need to be mindful of how you treat another persons property. As always, stay safe – be aware and enjoy yourself!
