http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20435 We left our shoes on the beach when we arrived at the island and had no cause to put them back on until the day we left!
Fishing and water sports are their speciality, and stunning goggling was the order of the day and even trying a spot of waterskiing and fly-fishing was a great experience.
The wonderful friendly hosts make you feel so welcome and part of the family, and the food is superb.
It's truly an amazing experience and well worth it for that bit of island paradise luxury.
Not a place you ever want to leave!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20435 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20367
I liked the harbour views. Having breakfast al fresco before braving the District line, as anyone will attest, you need to calm yourself before you get into the big squeeze! Otherwise, take a taxi!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20367 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19675 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19675 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19652
One great tip is to start your business day off here with a meeting. Breakfast is sublime with excellent bakery from the kitchen. Its central location makes it great for anyone staying in the city. High tea is also a great treat. Speciality teas, fine finger sandwiches, moist scones and the most delicate pastries found this side of Paris.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19652 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18431
International cuisine, excellent service, but moreover an excellent 'de luxe' atmosphere.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18431 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18359 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18359 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18309 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18118 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18118 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18096
It's not cheap and it's full of Brits, but the standard of service you receive is second to none. It's got a five-star hotel, holiday apartments, lots of restaurants, and a course that was apparently designed by Olazabal.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18096 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17551
I love to visit APt when I am feeling in the need for a little pick-me-up, it's like a weekend break in a spa!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17551 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16484 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16484 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16330 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16330 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16243 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16243 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16032
The food was simply delicious, the service was excellent, and the surroundings beautiful. I highly recommend this restaurant. Our selection was the five-course Menu Romeo & Juliette.
This was also one of the most expensive meals we've ever had, close to €300 for two adults and a child. This price, however, included two decent bottles of wine from the Margaux region, early 90s. We felt that the quality of the food, wine, surroundings and service made this meal well worth the price.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16032 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16001 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16001 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15023
Mostly tiny, with two or three individual cabins scattered on a hillside, butler service, river-water jacuzzis heated by sustainable wood fires, roving elephants nearby, and four-poster-beds that can be wheeled out to sleep under the stars (with mosquito nets, of course), these are worth looking at if you're going on honeymoon, or celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Or just feeling a bit decadent.

The Sable Treehouses in the Shimba Range of Hills were particularly lovely.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15023 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13329
We stayed at Chalet Rustique. It snowed all week and we had the best skiing ever. Plus the food was out of this world and the great hosts made us feel right at home. We booked again straight away.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13329 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13264 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13264 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12523 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12523
