Gateway of India

Attraction | "My Visit to the Gateway of India"

Isla Verde beach Photo - San Juan, Puerto Rico

Quote:

This old structure is one of Mumbai's most popular and visited tourist attraction. Its located right next to the magnificent Taj hotel and its one of those attractions which you just cannot miss while walking. Its simple and beautiful, you have the ocean on the one side and lively streets of Mumbai on the other. Bring your camera since you can take tons of photos and make sure you go either in the evening or the morning since the sun in the afternoon can be quite bothersome. I would suggest visiting the Gateway of India if you are in the neighborhood and there is plenty to do around there. There are a lot of shops and restaurants so you will have a good time.

Hotel | "My 4 Night 5 Day Stay at the Breezes Hotel"

Quote:

After reading a lot of reviews online, I was a little skeptic on what to expect at this hotel. So after a lot of researching and comparing rates, this hotel was a great deal and offered a lot of what I was looking for. First of all, this hotel is right on the beach, is all inclusive with food and drinks, has a lot of activities, and is very affordable. I have to admit, I was not disappointed and every thing lived up to my expectations.This hotel when I stayed was going through major renovations and had one of the two wings closed off.

After reading a lot of reviews online, I was a little skeptic on what to expect at this hotel. So after a lot of researching and comparing rates, this hotel was a great deal and offered a lot of what I was looking for. First of all, this hotel is right on the beach, is all inclusive with food and drinks, has a lot of activities, and is very affordable. I have to admit, I was not disappointed and every thing lived up to my expectations.

This hotel when I stayed was going through major renovations and had one of the two wings closed off. So on the first day, we ended up with a room which wasn't quite what we reserved and were told by the hotel staff that no other rooms were available given our late check in time and the lack of total rooms available at that time. So instead of a king size bed, we had 2 double size beds and the room did not look quite finished, it had little imperfections where the door's lock was missing and the lamp would not work. So the next day we requested for another room which was much better, it had a king size bed and every thing was in perfect and working order. The beds were comfortable and the little balcony (its not a walk in balcony) overlooked the pool and part of the ocean. The flat screen tv was a nice touch along with bathroom which was very nice, you can tell it was recently renovated. I was happy with the room and the cleaning maids serviced the room on a timely manner.

The pool was very cold and it was sort of dirty with all of the birds surronding it so we did not use it. It was a big pool but just needed a little cleaning and some of these things I can tell was out of the hands of the hotel staff. The activites were fun, it was up to you whether or not to join them. They included beach bowling, dart throwing, volleyball, and so forth so you were not bored and the staff did a good job of getting every one involved.

The food was excellent, not only in the main buffet dining room but the restaurants as well. The hotel has 2 restaurants in addition to the main buffet room which are also covered in the all inclusive package. You have to make early reservations as they get filled pretty quickly. The food all together was excellent and there was a lot of variety. The pool side grill was excellent as well, I still remember the delicious burgers, hot dogs and fried conch. The food will not disappoint you since there is a lot of variety.

This hotel is not luxurious by any means so if you want more romance and high end rooms then this hotel is not for you. This hotel is perfect for some one who wants a lot for their money and for those who want a lot of facilities. I would highly recommend this hotel, its what made my vacation a memorable one and I would gladly stay here again if I decided to take another trip to the beautiful Bahamas.

Town of Lake George

Story/Tip

Quote:

The town of Lake George is where you have all the restaurants, shops, and hotels. This area is where all the tourists come so it gets crowded here on weekends, especially in the summer so be prepared for traffic and long lines when dinning or cruising. There is a lot to do here and the tourist office is a good stop if you want to check out all the attractions that are offered here. There is para sailing, white water rafting, camping, hiking trails and so forth so enough things to do for every one.I would suggest parking your car in the lot and then walking around this area because street parking here is hit or a miss and you have to keep putting in quarters which gets annoying after a w...Read More

The town of Lake George is where you have all the restaurants, shops, and hotels. This area is where all the tourists come so it gets crowded here on weekends, especially in the summer so be prepared for traffic and long lines when dinning or cruising. There is a lot to do here and the tourist office is a good stop if you want to check out all the attractions that are offered here. There is para sailing, white water rafting, camping, hiking trails and so forth so enough things to do for every one.

I would suggest parking your car in the lot and then walking around this area because street parking here is hit or a miss and you have to keep putting in quarters which gets annoying after a while. The traffic cops are also every where so expect parking tickets if you run out of quarters. This can be a headache so unless you have a lot of time and patience waiting around for a parking spot, I would just recommend parking in a lot and use that time for some thing else.

There are a lot of restaurants so I would suggest making reservations beforehand or else you will end up eating at a fast food place. The variety of restaurants is impressive, if you walk around then you are bound to find a restaurant to your liking. There are also a lot of shops here if you want to buy souvenirs, I would suggest vising a couple of them and then settling on an item and the price.

While I did not have enough time to do para sailing and many of the other events, I can see myself going back next year and tackling many of them. The local people are nice and I can see why so many New yorkers make a trip here yearly. This was my first time here and I am glad that every thing worked out even with all the last minute planning. I really enjoyed Lake George even though its becoming too touristy. If you are living in New York then its a great, quick getaway and will replenish you before you head back to work. Read Less

Experience in the Bahamas

Story/Tip

Quote:

The islands of the Bahamas are one of the closest and the easiest to get to in the Caribbean. It was a very quick, 3 hour direct flight from NY so there is no jet lag or any sort of travel discomfort. The local buses here can be a good form of transportation and I believe they run till 8pm. If you plan on being out at night then its better to either arrange for a transportation beforehand or just find a cab. Every one speaks english so communication is not a problem and the US dollar is accepted every where. The people of the Bahamas are very friendly and laid back, they will always joke around and know how to have a good time. In general, Bahamas are very safe and the tourist attrac...Read More
