Photos du Viva Dominicus Beach?
quel qui a des photos et des commentaire de cette place je pare le 23 janvier 2004
Club Viva Dominicus Beach
Bonjour, je vais en voyage en République Dominicaine du 30 janvier 2004 au 7 février 2004 (je n'ai pas encore signé le contrat, j'ai jusqu'au 31 oct.) Mais avant, j'aimerais avoir vos commentaires sur cet hôtel. Je sais qu'il y a le Palace qui est un peu mieux, mais c'est presque 200$ de plus...La plage est-elle belle? La température dans ce temps de l'année? Les restos? Les chambres? Le service? Je sais en tout cas que l'animation est super. Et je voulais savoir s'il y a du monde qui ont fait des excursions, tel que l'île Saona, Bavaro Runner (4X4), Isla Catalina et Altos de Chavon, Santo Domingo, Indiana Jones et Manati Park. Y en a-t-il qui ont nagé avec les dauphins? Cela en vaut-il la peine? Moi, c'est mon rêve d'enfant....Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires :)

Isla Margarita: Barcelo Dunes and Beach Resort
Salut a tous, moi et quelques membres de ma famille avons réservé pour cet hôtel, entre le 22 et le 28 décembre 2003.
Évidemment, sur les brochures tout est parfait, mais comme vous savez, avec leurs belles photos ils seraient capable de transformer n'importe quelle cabane en véritable palace...Donc j'aimerais avoir des témoignages de gens y ayant déja séjourné, depuis que Barcelo s'est porté acquéreur de ce complexe...Cela ayant été fait plutot récemment, les informations sur cet hôtel sont plutôt rares, donc n'importe quel témoignage est le bienvenu !
merci a l'avance

Passage frontières: Niger-Tchad-Caméroun ou Niger-Nigéria-Caméroun?
Bonjour,
Toujours dans la préparation de mon voyage en 4x4 à travers l'Afrique
puis l'Australie, je recherche des infos, témoignages récents sur
passage terrestre pour rejoindre le Caméroun.
J'ai 2 options : Pouvez-vous me donner des conseils sur 1 - Version longue Niger -Tchad - Caméroun : Nguigmi -> Tchad (par Rig-rig) ->Bol ->Mao -> N'Djamena -> Kélo -> Moundou -> Pala-> Léré et Caméroun (par Garoua)
2 - Version courte Niger - Nigéria - Caméroun :> Diffa -> Nigéria (par Maduguri) -> Caméroun (par Mora) -> Maroua
Difficulté des trajets ? Etat des routes et pistes ? Fréquentation par transports locaux, touristes ? Comment se passe le passage de douane ? Faut-il prendre des guides notamment aux alentours du lac Tchad ? Existe-t'il des coins à éviter particulièrement (sécurité) ? Merci d'avance pour tout info qui peut me permettre de me faire une idée PS : SI vous avez des infos plus "touristiques" (endroits à aller voir, personne à contacter...) je les accepte volontiers aussi !!!
A bientot, Nadine

Marrakech: taxi from the airport, what's the fare?
Mid-May: arriving alone (so, a "petit taxi"?) at Marrakech airport around 4:30 PM,
is it advisable to take a taxi at the airport (cost?) or is it wiser to book one through the hotel before departure (which would cost me 20 €)?
I think I’ve seen lower fares elsewhere (12 €?).
Destination: Riad Sijane near Djemaa El Fna square. Thanks!
Unsure about destinations in Northern and Eastern India
Hi everyone! 🙂
My partner (who’s a teacher—hence the summer holidays) and I are heading to Eastern India for 23 days in July. This is my 5th trip to India, but her first.
We fly into Delhi on July 7th and leave from Delhi on the 23rd (since our flight to Kolkata arrived late at night, and I wanted to show Agra and Varanasi to my partner).
We love getting off the beaten track and meeting people, so we’ll mostly be taking the train.
Here’s what we’re planning:
- **DELHI**: 1 night on the way (short because the plane is supposed to land at 01:55), then we take the train at 13:00 - **GWALIOR**: 3 nights, including a day trip to **AGRA** by train to see the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort (I find Agra too touristy to stay overnight). Otherwise, in Gwalior, the Fort, the temples, the Man Mandir Palace, and the Jai Vilas Palace if we have time. - **ORCHHA**: 2 nights... *maybe skip this to spend more time in VARANASI?* - **VARANASI**: overnight train + 3 nights, the Ghats, temples... maybe a day trip to **SARNATH**. - **KOLKATA**: overnight train + 3 nights. Maybe a countryside excursion to the ashram in Channa. *- Here we’re hesitating over 2 nights: either 2 nights in **SHANTINIKETAN** with a visit to **CHANNA** on the way, or a 2-day excursion to the **SUNDARBAN** nature park. But is it worth it in July during the monsoon?* - **PURI**: overnight train + 4 nights. *We’re planning to do everything from Puri, as it seems nicer than staying in BHUBANESWAR. What do you think?* Visit **KONARK** and **CHILIKA LAKE**. *Is it worth visiting Chilika Lake this season? Another question: can you swim in Puri, or is it too dangerous (waves)?* - Train to **BHUBANESWAR**, then a flight from BHUBANESWAR to **DELHI**, - 2 nights in **DELHI**, visiting Jama Masjid, and *either Humayun’s Tomb, Safdarjung’s Tomb, or Qutb Minar.*
Back to Paris. Total: 23 nights.
What do you think of these choices? What about the options we’re still unsure about *(in bold/italics)*? Thanks so much! 🙂

Which all-inclusive hotels in Mexico for a wedding anniversary?
Hi everyone,
happy to be back on this site.
I’m tired of spending hours and hours searching for all-inclusive hotels for my first trip to Mexico to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
Can anyone recommend 5 or 6 hotel names that meet the following criteria? (I’m not too picky, lol)
1. All-inclusive
2. Adults-only
3. Beautiful beach and pool
4. Hotel for relaxing (no "factory hotels")
5. One-week stay in February 2026
6. A nice hotel (3 or 4 stars) but no need for an ultra-palace
Oh, and I almost forgot the main thing 😉: budget between 3500 € and 4000 € for two, including flights from Montreal-Mexico-Montreal.
Thanks to all of you for your recommendations! Adjou

Traveling to Southeast Asia in "peak season": what about prices and advance bookings?
Hello,
I’ve been to Thailand three times a long time ago, and I’d love to visit neighboring countries too: Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia (while returning to Thailand 😛).
The catch is that I’d like to go at the beginning of the year, but I’ve heard that’s peak tourist season for these countries. Ideally, I’d prefer to avoid peak season to save money (I’m not exactly rolling in it) and to be able to travel without reservations—without being forced to take a room in the local "palace" that still has availability because of its exorbitant prices.
From my distant memories of Thailand, I usually paid around the equivalent of 20 € per night (with a hearty breakfast) for a hotel room with a mini-bar.
What are the average prices for this type of accommodation in Thailand and its neighbors during "peak" season these days? Do prices fluctuate a lot depending on the season, or is tourist demand not that different from one season to another, keeping prices relatively stable? Are the chances of finding a "budget" room without a reservation still high, no matter the season, in this part of the world? 😇

Feedback on 6-day Alicante itinerary
Hi everyone!
I’m planning a little trip in October and wanted to share where I’m at with my preparations.
We’re heading to Alicante from October 18th to 23rd and will be staying on C/ Bailén. (We won’t have a car.) We’ve decided to buy a bus and tram card with 20 trips for the two of us to start. Depending on the weather, here’s what we’ve planned: a visit to Alicante including the covered market, the bullring (?), Santa Cruz…
La Illeta del Banyets,
Lucentum,
the MARQ museum,
ELCHE,
Tabarca Island,
Villajoyosa,
Villena Castle,
Orihuela (if we have time).
Any thoughts? Anything that doesn’t seem worth it? I’m bringing my snorkel mask and a wetsuit just in case.
I remember a bit of Spanish—just *unas pocas palabras*—but otherwise, I get by in English. I’m bringing some euros in small bills. I don’t eat gluten, lactose, legumes, or rice—not allergic, but I feel sick if I eat them. If there are any dishes you’d recommend trying (I’ve heard about *patatas bravas*, and there must be seafood and octopus), or anything for my husband, who can eat everything.
We’re hoping to find a holiday vibe with some atmosphere, even though we’ll be there at the end of October.

Self-organized stopovers in the Canary Islands and Madeira
Hi there! We’d love some tips on organizing stopovers on our own in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Arrecife, Puerto del Rosario, Santa Cruz de La Palma, Las Palmas, and Funchal. Thanks so much for your help
Accommodation tips in Rajasthan
Hello everyone,
We’re a couple heading off in mid-October for 7 weeks to explore Rajasthan independently, with an extension to Varanasi.
We’re growing more skeptical about Booking.com reviews and would rather turn to fellow travelers for up-to-date recommendations on accommodations along our route. We’re looking for clean places—not necessarily luxurious—a good location preferably, and if there’s a special charm or character, even better. Budget-wise, up to 50 €, or more if needed. We’ve already gathered a few addresses from Solene and Aleph’s travel journals.
Here are our stops—we’ve already got a place for the starred cities but are still open to suggestions:
Delhi Airport*
Alwar
Bharatpur*
Mathura
Agra*
Dholpur
Karauli
Dausa*
Jaipur*
Bundi*
Kota
Udaipur*
Pushkar
Jodhpur
Barmer
Jaisalmer
Phalodi
Bikaner
Nawalgarh*
Varanasi
Central Delhi
Thanks for sharing your tips and favorites!
One-Day Visit on the Renaissance in May 2025 – CFC Cruise
Hi everyone,
We were offered a visit to the Renaissance by the new CFC cruise line through Croisiland. After reading all the reviews—some very harsh, others glowing—I wanted to form my own opinion without having to book a full cruise to test it out. This visit to the ship at the port of Le Havre for 49 € per person came at the perfect time, even if I’m a bit put off by having to pay for a ship tour. That’s not how it usually works with other cruise lines, as far as I know.
The Renaissance is a former Holland America Line ship, built in 1993 and renovated in 2023. We’re familiar with this style of ship since we took a long cruise in Polynesia in 2014 on one of its sister ships, the MS Statendam. We remember it as a charming small ship with a lovely pool terrace at the very back.
Off we went this morning for a relaxing day on a ship—always a nice change!
The Pont de Normandie is the last elegant structure you see before entering the vast and rather smelly port area of Le Havre.

The area around the port where the Renaissance is docked is total chaos—cars everywhere and only a handful of taxis. We were supposed to have a reserved parking spot in front of the terminal (we’d even given them our car model and license plate), but we were denied entry. There’s no paved public parking, so we left the car on a vacant lot.

CFC was officially acquired by the British cruise line Ambassador Cruise Line in January 2025. Ambassador Cruise Line, launched in 2010, already owns two ships of the same type and age. They wasted no time repainting the funnel in their new colors.

The line of passengers disembarking and waiting for taxis is endless... and taxis are trickling in. Is this the aftermath of yesterday’s strike, or is this the norm in this port? Either way, I feel bad for the poor travelers waiting—it’s going to be a long haul. Many are leaving on foot, dragging their suitcases. Compared to the port of Marseille, this is pretty dismal.

Forty spots were available for this visit organized by Croisiland, but we ran into a good hundred people at the meet-up. A group from the AVF (Accueil des Villes Françaises) of Le Havre will be joining us. Our Croisiland group consists of twelve people, if I counted right.
Security clearance is done alphabetically, and we quickly board the ship. Now we’re getting to the heart of the matter.

Visiting Brazil as a family with mom in a manual wheelchair (standing impossible)
Hello,
we’re planning a three-week trip to Brazil.
What sights and accommodations would you recommend, given we’re a couple with mom in a wheelchair and two older teens, and we’d like to visit:
-Iguazu Falls
-Rio de Janeiro (Sugarloaf Mountain, Christ the Redeemer, old town... and a beach)
-Salvador de Bahia
-if possible, another city further north like Recife or Natal
We’ll arrive in São Paulo, where we’ll visit the young Brazilian woman we had the chance to host during her high school year in France.
It’s hard to gauge hotel accessibility from France (bathroom photos aren’t very telling and worry us...) Another concern: domestic flights in Brazil.
Thank you so much for your tips and advice! :-)
Best regards,

Budget hotel in New Delhi
Hi everyone,
I’m not sure if this is a good idea... but I’m throwing a message in a bottle out there again...
I’m looking for a hotel in New Delhi for the end of the month (just one night—for a layover). I’m wary of scams on the usual sites. You find all sorts of prices and huge discounts... but reviews on other platforms scream "scam" about those same hotels. Not that I’m not up for adventure, but if I can avoid making an avoidable mistake, I’d rather learn and discover with kind people than through unscrupulous tourist touts. At the same time, maybe this’ll be helpful to others too.
Is a budget of 40 € (+/-) doable? 50 € (+/-)? Does that sound reasonable? What do you think? Your experiences would really help me out. Thanks, friends.
Looking forward to reading your replies.
Warm regards to all

Good place for one night in Delhi
Hi fellow travelers!
I arrive in New Delhi on January 5th, and this is the third time I’ve come across what turns out to be a scam (after some research outside of booking.com): dirty places, fake reviews, etc.
So I’m starting to distrust booking.com because it really doesn’t seem like a reliable site (at least when it comes to booking hotels in New Delhi).
If you have a good place to stay (max 1500 € per night, and I don’t want a dorm) in New Delhi, I’d love to hear about it! :)
Looking forward to your replies!
