Bars in ALMANCIL

Hi Everyone,
We are off to Portugal for a week in May. Does anyone know of any Bars in Almancil showing Premier League football? I want to catch Man Utd's last game of the season away to WBA on May 19.

If say it is £500 for a week, we tend to charge a daily rate of £100 across 4 days (total £400), particularly if it includes a weekend and you have laundry and cleaning to consider.

HL Renewal.

Schucks....I have just renewed this morning, perhaps if I had held off I could have got a better deal. I'm not renewing with HL though, not enough enquiries to warrant paying for both. Be interesting, though, to see if they try to persuade me to stay with a deal.

Another money-making scheme, I won't be going and if they increase their charges significantly (again) this year I won't be re-newing my ad with them either.

UK to Cyprus by road?

Hi everyone, We are due to fly out to Cyprus in around two weeks, Friday 30th to be precise with Monarch. By way of some form of emergency planning, should the current airline status continue, we are considering leaving a few days early and driving. Does anyone, who may have done this already, have ...

Bookings up on last year!!!

Normally we have around 2 bookings at this stage but we have 4 bookings already for this year, :D 1 is family, 1 is a re-booking from last year, 1 is a work colleague and 1 is from Sweden via HR - Whilst we are not complaining we are a little concerned at the lack of enquiries. :o

Larnaca Car Hire

Hi Tom - http://www.stevenscarrentals.com/ - they are an 'off airport' company and you won't have to pay the new airport tax that you have to pay when ordering a car from an 'on airport' operator. Also, you only have to pay for half a tank of fuel. We have just used them and they are very reliable.

Google Earth

Although most of Cyprus seems to have been re-mapped, most of the east section in May 2008, the lower east section covering Paralimni, Protaras and down to just west of Ayia Napa has been missed. It is still showing Sept 2003, very much out of date. Does anyone know why this would be?

Hi Marion

I spoke to John on the phone on Friday eve, and as you say they are still in Kapparis. Like a few other owners John and Pam were concerned at the likely poor level of business they would achieve this summer. Apparently the owner of the restaurant, Panikos, refused to consider a rent reduction so the...

Hi Blue Sky Girl

The airport transport offer is due to the fact that I am a p/t taxi driver, and the offer is only to those living locally in my area. I see it as a sort of incentive to book!!!. Our villa in in Pernera Bay, on a small complex just a little further up from Hogi's Bar (my fave haunt) and opposite Doro...
