On a recent solo jaunt, I tailored my lady’s day out around a stop for Bancone. On my list for years, Bancone appears to be professional pasta connoisseurs but within a reasonable budget – something we all need these days! Solo diners are popped at one of the many bars and I was glad to…

Top Dining Spots in Ibiza: Ohana’s Decadent Dishes
Our final night in Ibiza was cause for celebration for many reasons, this spectacular sunset was one of them! After traipsing around this beachfront every evening, we landed on a reservation at Ohana for the special occasion. Be sure to book, as the place was packed and with great reason! To start, we had the…
Tuna Tacos and Scenic Views: Experience The Seahorse Club
Well situated on the Playa d’en Bossa is The Seahorse Club, perched just high enough above the beach for perfect views and removed from the folk hawking goods in the sand. Peaceful comes to mind. With it’s well styled space and bright colors, it reminds me of a quirky Kimpton property. Really, you can’t beat…
Hotel Garbi Review: Perfect Ibiza Retreat for Adults
After the busiest summer on record…or nearly… we capped it off with a couple days of proper chill time in Ibiza. Staying in a new area to us, Playa d’en Bossa, the Hotel Garbi was centrally walkable to clubs, restaurants, and even old town which we did one ambitious day. (Nothing like arriving to a…
The Anassa Hotel Cyprus
On a recent family visit to Cyprus, we enjoyed a lovely, albeit extremely hot, evening at the gorgeous Anassa hotel in Neo Chorio. We arrived early for sundowner cocktails and were lucky to snag the corner table for my favorite occasion of the day. After perusing an extensive menu of mocktails and cocktails, the gentleman…
Elysium Hotel- Paphos
We recently enjoyed a few nights at the absolutely gorgeous Elysium Hotel in Paphos. Everything about the hotel was just top- from the luxurious rooms (and their glorious aircon), to the overly welcoming staff, to the perfect sunset terrace, to the sprawling breakfast buffet. Really, this hotel exceeded our expectations and we were only sorry…
Avoid This Hotel: Mornington Kensington
This hotel, part of the Best Western group, brings thoughts of an essential rebrand, “Worst Western.” I hate to complain, particulars for a very short last minute city break where cheap and cheerful was the theme, but honestly this hotel was horrendous. I called to inquire prior to booking about a safe and was assured…
Eden Locke: The Perfect Edinburgh Work Stay
Well-situated in New Town, I’ve enjoyed a few work stays at Eden Locke in Edinburgh, a far cry from the Beckett Locke of Dublin. A small lobby with a buzzing coffee scene, small bar, and lovely, well-kept apartments, it is a refuge after a long day at the office. As a bonus, the suites have…
Exploring the Fun of the Guinness Brewery Tour
I’ll drink a beer approximately once a year, and let me tell you that beer is never a Guinness (luckily they do a lager too). The Gentleman on the other hand…loves those dark, creamy pints. Of course, I joined him on the Guinness tour, but I didn’t have high expectations. I’m happy to report that…
