Are You Looking For 5 Star Hotels in Santorini?

Greece is one of those countries which is entirely different during high season and low season. Especially the islands. Santorini is one of the most-visited islands in Greece and it is no different here.
During the summer months, the 5 star hotels in Santorini are choc-a-bloc with tourists, conferences, weddings, meetings, and thousands of people milling about on the streets.But come winter (Yes - there is no autumn or spring in the tropics) and the islands teeming hotels suddenly become calmer, more peaceful and more homely.

A lot of hotels even down their shutters or perform renovations / extensions / re-designing during the low season. So, if you plan to visit the 5 star hotels in Santorini during the low season, do check out whether they are open or not. Most of the big 5 star hotels in Santorini do not close down for winter. It is just the smaller villas or the family run units that you need to check about.

During low-season, Santorini is a totally different place! The pace of life on the island slows down, the community returns to its original style of living, uninhabited by the tourist population. If you are looking for a getaway kind of holiday at a more economical price, you might consider visiting Santorini during the low-season. You will find a lot of peace & quiet, serenity and tranquility and overall, a very agreeable environment.

If you book early for the low-season, you might be able to fit the price of 5 star hotels in Santorini into your budget vacation!

A few local cafés, restaurants, banks, local bookshops, a few mom & pop stores, car hires and pharmacies will be open the year round as they service the locals as well as the tourists. The prices of the handicrafts and local produce also will be lower during this season. As winter in the islands is not very severe, you can still have your outdoor siesta by the poolside! Quite a few 5 star hotels in Santorini have outdoor Jacuzzis which have a hot / cold option. It is a marvelous experience to lounge in a hot Jacuzzi and while hours away gazing at the ocean!

Stay in a Bed and Breakfast When You Holiday in Britain

By Tony Lucas

It may not seem the first choice if you are visiting Britain for more than a few days but a Bed and Breakfast can be good value for money. Self catering may be an option but then you have to worry about getting in food, cooking and cleaning and if you compare prices, it can be much more economic to stay in a B&B. Hotels are pretty expensive in the City Centres and although the facilities they offer may be superior, do you really want them all?

If the answer to that is not really then consider using a Bed and Breakfast instead. Apart from fitness facilities, indoor swimming pools and in house entertainment, many of the better Bed and Breakfast properties will provide many of the same facilities as a city centre hotel, and sometime to a higher standard. Most British Bed and Breakfast establishments offer good, clean accommodation, your own key so you can come and go as you please and a good breakfast to start your day. Many will also provide an evening meal if you arrange it in advance or give notice of when you would like to have one.

Bed and Breakfasts can be found in every town and most villages throughout the British Isles. They range in size from a single room for letting to a house that has several rooms for hire. Anything over 6 to 8 rooms is strictly speaking classed as a Guest House but the operational functionality of a Guest and a Bed and Breakfast is almost identical. They are family run establishment where the owner lives on the premises and in that sense, usually has more interest in the well being and comfort of their guests than a Hotel that is part of a larger corporation.

Use one or more of the better accommodation websites to find the property that you want. Most will show a wide range of properties in a common format so you can easily compare one with another. Some will have facilities for videos of the Bed and Breakfast and the ability to print out the details. If you are travelling at short notice, use one of the sites that specialise in last minute and late bookings. They operate on the same principal as the airline sites and you can get some very good prices if you are willing to take the chance.

Dont be put off if the bed and breakfast is not graded by the Tourist Board (Visit Britain) or the AA. It is no longer a necessary requirement of a quality property. The various tourist organisations have finally got their act together and agreed a common grading process. Previously Visit Britain and the AA had different meanings to the star ratings and other symbols such as Crowns and Diamonds were used, these have all been scrapped and only stars are valid now, so in theory, you should be able to tell the standard of any bed and breakfast by its star rating. The grades go from one star to five stars and the more stars the more luxurious the property will be. Having said that, these star ratings are very expensive and have to be paid for by the property owner every season. Whilst the grading system does make a lot of sense and is a good guide to the quality of a property, a lot of very fine bed and breakfasts are not bothering with them any more and are saving the expense. There is a growing awareness amongst property owners that with the internet, competent websites can show sufficient photos and videos for visitors to be able to assess the quality of an establishment and not worry about an expensive, and sometimes, arbitrary grading process. The cost of websites of good quality has become well within the reach of Bed and Breakfast owners and is cheaper in the long run than an annual grading visit and fees.

Windsor Still Attracts After 1000 Years

By Chris D Brown


We might imagine that tourism was a nineteenth century invention and that the first people with leisure time to visit the castle and enjoy royal Windsor's riverside and its many restaurants and quality hotels were the Victorians. Just 20 miles from London, the arrival of trains in the Victorian era did indeed lead to a massive boost in regular visitors, but the start of Windsor tourism can be traced back much further than that.

In fact as early as the Late Medieval period, visitors from London and the surrounding counties made their way to Windsor in alarmingly vast numbers. Many would have described themselves as pilgrims, eager to see the holy bones of John Schorn who has apparently 'conjoured the devil into a boot'. Others would have been seeking relief from headaches. It was common knowledge that the hat that had once belonged to King Henry VI would cure anyone who put it on of the worst pains. For a small fee the hat was placed on the heads of the suffering during the 1500s. Others still would come to trade, at the three great fairs held each year beneath the castle walls. The Spring, Summer and Horse (autumn) fairs were the high points of the year and the population of Windsor would swell by up to 10 times during the festivities.

Of course the accommodation back then was a little more spartan than it is today, but on the same spot where the Shakespeare's 'Hart Inn' once stood, a fine hotel (now called 'The Harte and Garter') still stands to this day. Hotels in Windsor have been offering hospitality to travellers since shortly after the castle was built by William the Conqueror following his invasion of Britain in 1066 and continue to provide rest and recuperation after a long day of sightseeing.

There are a great number of fine restaurants and hotels in Windsor these days, notably Sir Christopher Wren's house by the river Wren, the architect of St Paul's Cathedral in London built the house in Windsor as a family home and now several hundred years later the same building offers top accommodation and fine dining in the riverside restaurant. Windsor has come a long way since hats and bones tempted visitors, but throughout time the crowning glory has been the great Castle itself, home to British monarchy for almost a thousand years and one of England's greatest attractions.

Read local residents reviews of the hotels of Windsor and come and stay in this most welcoming of English towns.

Tips For Finding Cheap Hotel Rates

By Julie Davidson

Imagine heading off on your dream trip but then not being able to spend money on anything else because the Hotel room is SO expensive! It's something we've all had to face, do I spend more on the hotel room and have less to spend on activities or do I spend less on the hotel room and stay somewhere undesirable? What if there was a way to spend less and still stay well? If you read on you'll see some great tips that can save you money on your next trip!

Know What You Want

Before you can save money, you need to know what you want from a hotel room. Do you want to have a luxurious place to stretch out and relax, or a cheap, modest room to quickly change clothes before you head out to see the sights? You can also narrow down your search by knowing what amenities you must have, such as a pool, or internet hookup, or a restaurant on site. Knowing what you want will help you narrow down the search so you can find cheap hotel rates.

Beware of Packages

Sometimes you can find cheap hotels by looking for packages that combine two services, such as hotel and your flight, or hotel and care hire. Sometimes you can find yourself actually paying quite a bit more by booking your airfare and hotel rooms at the same time.

At one package booking agent, you might be persuaded to book a flight from Sydney to the Big Apple (New York City, USA), and a seven night hotel stay at the Pennsylvania (near the Empire State Building), priced at $5,480. However, if you went to Qantas Airlines (Quantas.au.com) and the Hotel Pennsylvania (hotelpenn.com) and booked your flight and room separately, you'd pay $4,770. This isn't always the case, of course, but sometimes packages aren't all they're cracked up to be.

Make sure you check the rates, or you'll think you're getting a good deal while the booking site laughs all the way to the bank. The very same hotel stay can be the same price or even more expensive through a "discount" agency than if you booked through the hotel directly.

The moral of the story? Do your research! Make sure you know how much a night at a hotel is alone and then compare with your package rate to ensure you're getting the savings you deserve.

Good Package Deals

Not all package deals are bad, as long as you know what you're looking for. For example, your car rental agency may offer a free night at a participating hotel. The deal may be a third night free after a two-night stay, but if you're planning on staying several days anyway, it's a good deal.

Online Bookings to the Rescue

Some sites are just worth their weight in gold when trying to book cheap hotel rooms, and here are two that are priceless.

Wotif: (Wotif.com) This is a great online site to visit to get cheap hotel rates in Australia and abroad. You can book your cheap hotel room last minute or up to twenty-eight days in advance. Whether your holiday is in Australia, Scotland or Fiji, Wotif can help you book discount hotel rooms, bed and breakfasts, or apartments in thirty-five countries.

One great feature is that you can enter your travel information and compare hotels, apartments, and bed and breakfasts side by side. If you don't have set travel plans, you can see which dates are cheaper and book accordingly. You can also advance your search by entering in different amenities you'd like, such as pool or a kitchenette.

A sampling of hotels around the world showed that indeed, Wotif provides cheap rates. Want to visit Walt Disney World? The Raddison Resort Orlando, FLA USA is a stone's throw from this world-renowned family destination. For $100 a night ($185 a night full rate) you get a gorgeous room with two double beds, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, exercise facility and a restaurant on site. The best part-kids stay and eat for free as long as they are accompanied by one paying parent.

Want to stay in a Scottish castle for your holiday? The four-star Dalhousie House Castle and Spa in Edinburgh, Scotland offers a luxurious holiday experience that will make you feel like royalty. Standard castle room: $302 ($500 full price) and includes a double occupancy room in this 13th century fortress. For a little more ($350) you could stay in a themed castle room. Both have their own bath and other comforts.

Or perhaps you'd rather experience a decadent South Pacific holiday on Fiji. For $300 ($350 full rate) a night you can stay in the four-star Sonaisali Island Resort. Enjoy a restful holiday on a small island across the lagoon from mainland Fiji, with a health spa, tennis courts and a child minding program that includes sandcastle building. Children stay free of charge.

Smarter Travel: (Smartertravel.com) This is an awesome site to review if you want hotel, flight and car hire information. They have a page with links to assorted deals, such as booking a night at the Hilton in NYC and receiving free breakfast or free parking. If you've ever tried to park in Manhattan, you'll realize what a bargain this is!

Plus you can't beat the advice. In the Hotel section, the editor posts his/her favorite deal links which takes you to a detailed page that outlines the fine print (like having to stay for three nights, one being a weekend night). There are also sponsor deals to choose from.

The great thing about this site is that they aren't doing the booking-they link you to the hotel or sponsor in charge of the deal they advertise.

Check with Your Credit Card

This may sound silly, but checking with your credit card could result in cheap hotel rates. Sometimes the major credit card companies will link up with a hotel chain to promote travel and business in a specific area, giving discounts if the consumer uses their credit card.

For example, the Hilton Latin America and Visa have teamed up to give travelers a discounted rate on a stay at the Hilton hotels across Latin America if using a Visa card to pay. You'll also get a continental breakfast and a generous credit toward food and beverage. Of course, there are conditions and limitations, such as a three-night stay, but if you're traveling to somewhere as gorgeous as Buenos Aries, you're going to want to stay for a long holiday.

Check Directly with the Hotel or Hotel Chain

Sometimes you can get a great deal by calling the hotel directly and asking about cheap hotel rooms. If you're calling a chain, such as the Hilton, call the hotel in the town you're staying in, as calling the main line will often get you an operator that's located somewhere else. He/she may not know of the deals that particular hotel branch has to offer.

You can also check online for deals. You'll find that a lot of different hotel chains will actually be able to beat the discount travel websites on a nightly price if you book direct with them.

In Conclusion

A holiday doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg in hotel fares alone. By doing some research, comparing rates and contacting companies you wouldn't typically think of, you can definitely find a cheap hotel room. Then you can sit back and relax on that well-deserved holiday trip, knowing you didn't have to pay top dollar.

Use Start Local to find all the best Aussie hotels, b&b's, camp grounds, motels and caravan parks. So it doesn't matter where you want to travel, you should make Start Local your first stop if you're planning a trip in Australia. So what is Start Local? Come by and find out!

The Only 7 Star Hotel in the World

By Pankaj Gupta

A seven star hotel is considered a synonym for grandeur, class and style. Offering luxuries like limousine service, private transfer for all guests via private golf cart, private butler service and just about anything else that is being associated with vanity. These days, savvy and wealthy globetrotters, demand for caviar, personal butlers and Bentley and more tasty accommodation morsels as they prefer to travel (and rest) in style when it comes to bedding heads for the night. Seven star hotels accomplish all this.

There is an official body with standard criteria for classifying hotels in some countries. While most countries check their hotel rating systems at five, very few use six or seven star ratings, claiming to be the most beautiful and prestigious hotels in the world. At present there is only one seven star hotel in the world, though there are a few more under construction. Start planning your vacations now and be the first to see some of the amazing architectural wonders.

The Burj- Al- Arab in Dubai, the only Seven Star hotel began in 1994 and was modeled after the sail of a famous Arabian ship. The appearance was created by using Teflon-coated fiberglass and white materials that resemble a mast when viewed from a distance. The hotel is an architectural masterpiece. The foundation was constructed on an artificial island and the hotel is home to the world's tallest atrium. While the Burj- Al- Arab likes to believe it is the world's only seven-star hotel, it is officially known as a five-star deluxe hotel on the standard star system.

The Burj Al Arab is the only, "Seven star" hotel bearing a resemblance to a billowing sail, the hotel ascends to a height of 321 meters, overlooking the Dubai coastline. It is an unforgettable sight at night, surrounded by maneuvered color sculptures of water and fire. This all-suite hotel with the floor to ceiling glass windows viewing breathtaking Arabian Gulf reflects the finest that the world has to offer.

The hotel offers the highest levels of personalized service in the most luxurious surroundings imaginable, while the butler will ensure that every little need is met.

Surrounded by white beaches and the blue waters of the Arabian Gulf, one can choose from a variety of activities while staying at Burj-Al-Arab. Alternatively, there are unlimited amenities for recreation and entertainment; be it spacious airy gymnasium boasting the very latest in equipment and with personal trainers on hand or unlimited complimentary access to Wild Wadi Water Park for water sports, accessible via a complimentary buggy drive or short walk.
