Vasia Resort and Spa  Sissi, Lasithi, Greece.  Located around 39KM from Heraklion airport (30 minute drive) Vasia is well worth the transfer time.  We really liked the hotel, furnishings were to a high standard, relaxed atmosphere, very good quality food with a good selection.  We really enjoyed eating out on the terrace for all our meals.  There are 3 specialty restaurants, Greek, International and Italian, we ate at the Italian restaurant on the roof top which was very nice, catches the sunset and ambience of the area beautifully.  The staff were friendly and very accommodating.  There are 2 main pools for everyone and a quiet pool near our apartment which was really nice when we just wanted to relax and be by ourselves.  The little harbour and town are very nice and scenic, you can take in the sunset, relax and just be content.  No real beach to enjoy, we used the free shuttle to their sister hotel around 15 minutes away which had a small ...

A nice night away with the lady. Best Western Robinswood Hotel Gloucester Good food, attentive staff, comfortable furnishings, a relaxing stay overall.  Our package included a great deal, including cream T, 2 course meal, breakfast and spa access.  Not far to travel for us this time, which was the criteria, if you wanted to take the kids, the pool is great for them too, but for us this was a child free night to relax and this was a perfect short get away to reset.  Things to do and see close by. - Ninja Warrior, 8 minute drive  https://ninjawarrioruk.co.uk/gloucester/  - Gloucester Ski and Snowboard Centre,1 minute walk (basically opposite the hotel)  https://www.gloucesterski.com/ - Gloucester Cathedral, 14 minute drive https://gloucestercathedral.org.uk/ - Gloucester Docks, 11 minute drive  https://www.visitgloucester.co.uk/things-to-do/gloucester-docks Jet Museum - 17 minute drive  https://jetagemuseum.org/how-to-find-us/ Groupon Deal below tha...

Tregenna Castle and St Ives Work trip - 1 night  It’s been a few years, but it was good to be back staying at Tregenna, enjoying the stunning views, comfy furnishings and good food. Peaceful and relaxing, being out of season. The pool was very warm which is always good. I actually stayed in room 1, out of 130 and I think that it maybe on the more budget end of the accommodation options. Comfy and adequate just a little basic. I do remember the rooms we stayed in previously being more luxurious. Don’t let this put you off though as the rest of the hotel is lovely. ( just have to pay a little more to upgrade the room) It’s a 10-15 minute walk into St Ives through the lovely garden and grounds. If you arent going to eat at the hotel, I advise booking somewhere in St Ives in advance as its gets very busy and spaces can become limited. Tregenna has a golf course, Spa facilities, indoor and outdoor pool. The walk around the hotel is very nice, scenic and tranquil. Tregenna is around a 3...
