    Riu Palace is where we stopped, it’s great.
    See my review earlier in this thread, one of our best holidays ever, totally relaxing

    Well it can't be Sunderland, you wouldn't want to watch players like that would you?

    Are you genuinely okay? I attend 90% of our games, have done for many years. Spend thousands every season following Sunderland. You couldn’t be any more wrong if you tried. We’re having a good season :emoticon-0148-yes: Fancy me praising others though eh…

    Some sort of strange vibe here. Old blokes who just attack anyone who praises anyone other than safc. No matter the price. Bit concerning to be fair.

    Nice 2 week break with my family in a great resort in Lanzarote for us. Didn't get away last year so this one is class. Cost a fortune mind. Think this will be the one and a few years off. Just not worth it man. Proper fortunes

    On our holiday countdown now, we fly 27th out to Cyprus, cant wait for my morning strolls in the sunshine in shorts and t-shirt. Fig Tree bay is a lovely morning walk. The wife text her friend who lives over there and she said its warming up nicely and should be mid to late 20s by the time we get there, thats ideal for me.

    If your looking for accommodation you might have left it a bit late as there isn't lots in abundance.
    Be wary over campervan and motor cycles especially on the single track roads of which there's plenty especially on the West Coast.
    Hope you have better weather than we had as the rain was horizontal in John O Groats when we did it in late May a few years back.
    Other than that....enjoy.

    Been to the dom rep 7 times over the last 27 years
    In the north Bahia principe very good I was there the day lady Diana was killed
    Been to the Catalonia bavaro x2 excellent hotel beach a little bit of sea weed food and entertainment good
    I’ve saved the best till last the grand palladium punta Cana /bavaro resort x4
    It’s laid out in three parts all parts are excellent and food and entertainment top class so many restaurants to choose from and no booking
    The beach and several bars are top class lovely sandy beach and drink and eateries doted all over
    2018 I think was my last visit and it was still top class
    However the airport and security is over the top too many queues to show different documents
    Nevertheless it’s a great place to go
    Sadly for us no more long haul
    Give it a try

    Thanks mate. Looking at Punta Cana, reviews seem pretty good. Appreciate the note about the airport, will see if there are any options to pay for fast track
