Site Review: The Travel Advisor

The Travel Advisor is just that, an interesting site with travel advice about many issues connected with travel. The landing page makes it easy to negotiate the site with plenty of photos and featured items. The site is open to any travelers who want to write about their travel experiences, write reviews or offer travel advice. All you need to do is register using your Facebook account then start building your post by adding a Google map of the thing you are writing about, a gallery and featured photos. This offers great opportunities to those who want to write about or review a travel related thing but don't want to go to all the bother of starting their own blog. Those that join the site can also make use of the site forum for chatting with other travelers and getting advice from those who have been-there and done-that. If you aren't interested in writing on the site but are just looking for useful travel advice then you can browse the reviews and articles according to categories including: hotels, natural phenomena, tourist attractions and travel agencies.

The cleverly named site (clever as it is so similar to the mother of all travel advise sites – TripAdvisor) is a useful stop on your way to planning your next trip. The site will give you ideas about where to go and what to see but most importantly the advice comes from fellow travelers with real experience and up-to-date information.

Bali Villa Rent - Luxury Homes

 

BaliVillaRent.net is a site where you can find luxury homes to rent on the island of Bali. From your first visit to the site you will understand that Bali Villa Rent is all about luxury, the slick layout and black background make the site high gloss and appealing. The Island of the Gods – Bali - offers sun, surf, golden beaches, relaxation and a chance to pamper yourself.

Bali Villa Rent has many years of experience arranging vacation accommodation for travelers to Bali and the site lists only the best rentals the island has to offer. They also have the advantage of actually being based on the island so that the site is kept current and the newest and most popular properties reach their site first!

 

On the site you can search for your ideal Bali luxury home according to property features (home theatre, balcony, barbecue, air-conditioning, 24/7 security beach view, garden etc) or by type of property, location or price. The service offered at a Bali Villa rent property is extensive including airport pick-up, housekeeping, meals prepared by a private chef and more. The villas offer you amenities that can include swimming pools, billiard table, tennis courts and more. Of course there are more basic (yet still top quality) vacation accommodations offered on the site and you can even use "affordable rentals" as your search criteria. You can choose from a villa for a large group or family to something more exclusive and romantic.

When you search for a Bali villa rental on this site you'll see the price (unlike some sites which try to hide the price until booking) and villa details as well as photos of the property. I was truly surprised by the quality of the properties on offer. For example a 2 bedroom, 2 bathrooms, luxuriously furnished 300m‎² villa rental costs only $175 a night. Just think a villa that size could accommodate a whole family, so compared to hotel prices this is actually reasonable, yet much more exclusive.

Before you book a generic hotel room in Bali take a look at Balivillarent.net you'll be surprised at the luxury home you can afford.

Bolongo Bay - St. Thomas' Entertaining Beach Resort

 

If you're planning a get away to the Caribbean and to St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands in particular then this site could be what you're looking for. Bolongo Bay is a vibrant beach resort nestled in a sandy cove right on the edge of 1000 foot of pristine sandy beach. What makes Bolongo special is the intimate island atmosphere, you'll get a truly Caribbean experience with attentive staff and all the amenities to make your vacation as relaxing and enjoyable as possible. Bolongo is called the "entertaining beach resort" as there is non-stop action on land and sea with both day time water sport activities and a dynamic nightlife with top quality dining and live entertainment.

So you have the perfect paradise location with palm trees, rooms where you step out onto the sand, the crystal clear water and all the pampering amenities you could ask for. But in addition the resort is all-inclusive. You get your activities, entertainment, food (ordered from a menu not buffet style and yes, lobster is one of the options), drinks (including liquor), fresh water pool and accommodation all for one inclusive price. And if all-inclusive is not what you're looking for then there are accommodation-only rates as well.

 

To top it all off, don't book your Caribbean vacation before you've checked Bolongo's deals on vacation packages and special offers. For example 20% off a two bedroom condominium in the Bolongo Fall special and the "adults stay free" plan from September to October so you can bring friends along to share your room at no extra charge! There are also diving packages and packages specifically for those in the military.

Bolongo, the St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, Caribbean entertaining beach resort has plenty to offer, lots of flexible package plans and endless things to do once you get there. So spoil yourself and check out this slice of paradise.
