What makes NM Suites special: The NM Suites are in a quiet residential area of Platja d’Aro, built around a lush garden featuring plenty of tall pine trees, flower beds and a large pool which, during the time we went, almost felt like our own private pool. Since the hotel only has 39 rooms, it Continue reading
What makes Hotel Port Salins special: Hotel Port Salins is right in the middle of the canals of Empuriabrava, the largest residential marina in Europe.

It comprised over a thousand temples, some of which have been restored, some Continue reading
All over Cambodia, especially in the more touristy areas, you’ll find hospitality schools: hotels, guest houses and restaurants that have students in training, giving young people a chance to find work in Cambodia’s growing tourism sector.
