HOLIDAYS:Where would you visit again
Jump to: Newest in thread
Valencia - loved he contrast between old and new town, the old river that’s not a river anymore, linking the old and new town, makes for a lovely walk and the fact it’s also got a beautiful beech.... think the hotel having a jacuzzi on the rooftop with such a beautiful view too helped top off a wonderful city break |

"Fuerteventura always ! My little slice of paradise if anyone fancies visiting and being a Naughty Naturist.
Fuerteventura is my go to holiday (that or Rhodes) returning many times "
I wouldn't advise anybody to go to Fuerte, I prefer it quiet, less commercialised and largely unspoilt like it is.
The last thing I'd want to see is a British/Irish/Tartan Arms on every corner. People who want that can swim to Playa Blanca and get the bus to PDC. |

Fuerteventura is my favourite destination on a regular basis. But like Torch I wouldn’t recommend it at all.
Jamaica was a fantastic holiday but be very selective about where you go.
I wouldn’t go to Cape Verde again, at least not during the Summer. |

I'm looking for a week towards the back end of summer and the wife suggested Cape Verde but I've never heard anybody say anything overly positive about it.
Prob back to Fuerte. |

Fuerteventura agree beautifully unspoilt currently 
Thailand, although I’ll be going back as I’m intending to go to Cambodia later this month. So I’ll be catching the bus from Bangkok to the border, can’t wait  |

"Home or abroad,where would you re-visit/recommend"
I'm a great believer in not going to the same place again despite how good it is because the next place could be even better(or worse) but that's half the fun.
I often meet people who say I've been here 27 years running and you think fair play for being happy but it's not for me |

There is so little there. During the summer it is very humid and infested with flies because there’s no wind. I hear it feels completely different during the Winter because of the Fuerteventura-like breeze. Even the locals said they hate it during the summer.
Also the vibe is very pushy hard sell. There’s nothing to see there. The ‘Postcard’ island tour starts at a water station where the locals come to get their water. It’s very impoverished and the tourists are their only real source of income. It felt uncomfortable most of the time outside of the hotel complex.
Unfortunately the financial crash affected it’s development which means it’s got a lot of incomplete complexes and never developed sufficiently to sustain the local economy, unlike Fuerteventura that did. |

They’ll be the same people who eat in the British restaurants and never go further from the beach

I travel the world working, but Fuerteventura is still the only place in the world where I feel relaxed within 10 minutes of getting off the plane and it remains like that until I leave. |

There are so many places I would like to go and visit. But answering the question I would go back to Mexico. You live like a king in your hotel but when out and about you get a real feel of community and heritage. Fascinating place to explore and enjoy |

I guess if they think they've found perfection it's the fear of "what if" a new place is worse.
To many adventures to be had for me but they've found happiness so all is good

I do adventures as well, but when I want to relax and switch off completely that’s where I go. |

We travel a lot, tend to re visit couple of our fave places each year but always try and try somewhere new.
For the people that re visit same place every year, why not ? If that’s where they like to enjoy their holidays then great
Places we favour and would recommend .....
South of France (class, weather, food)
Winelands of South Africa (wine, food, weather, people)
Many parts of Thailand (lots of different sorts of holidays to be had within one country)
New York
Our next 5 weekends look like this ....
New York
Atlanta
Riviera Maya
London
Paris

Visited 56 countries in 22 yrs. All have their plus points. 3 in particular. Cairns in Australia. The best meat pies in the world!
South Africa.The wildlife and beaches.
Tokyo Japan. They bow at everything including the buses!
Ultimately I love Spain. So much in fact I bought a house here and now live in Spain permanently. |

There are a number of places I would like to revisit. The first is a little bit of the Donne Valley, partly to go and check that the dry stone wall I helped repair is still standing but also as it is a wonderful remote location with a cinamatically vast sky.
Next on the list would be Sri Lanka as I found it a beautiful country full of wonderfully freindly people. |

Komodo Island, (Indonesia)
Absolutely beautiful, spending time on the boat taking in the amazing views. Swimming with Manta Rays, and seeing the coral reef.

The lake district, I can't get enough of the place.
The yorkshire Dale's and the peak district come a very close second.
The Isle of Man is very picturesque.
Gibraltar is nice, the weather is good.
Majorca is nice. |

I wouldn’t go to Cape Verde again, at least not during the Summer. "
I was bitterly disappointed with Cape Verde  it’s like the moon with a bit of sand. Because the sea is rip tide there are no shells or anything on the beach. The Verde islands are also trade winds islands so it gets very blustery at times. Staying that I spend most of it in a state of inebriation so it didn’t matter I wouldn’t go back.
I’ve been to a lot of places but the two that really captured my heart were New Zealand - been a few times and could happily move out there. My next go to place is Guernsey, it’s an absolutely charming small island. Rich in heritage, welcoming and absolutely stunning. (and has a few resident fabbers too!)
My usual go to place is Hurghada in Egypt
Still quite a few places on my to do list.... Reims and Epernay for obvious reasons! I’m a champagne lover |

The Lake District and Cotswolds are absolutely stunning. Dubrovnik is wonderful (avoid in August!) as is Split, the Amalfi Coast, Barbados, Geneva, Lisbon. Scotland will always have a special spot - definitely should go and visit, in particular Royal Deeside. |

Cuba is amazing- every type of holiday you want in a single destination.
Barcelona is just ram packed with things to do and see- walked just shourt of 30 miles in 3 1/2 days (despite using the tour busses)
Antigua is just lovely with amazing snorkling/diving and beaches you can just laze round in the sun with a cocktail
Australia is huge, don't think i'll ever remember everything i did in a months adventure- didn't even scratch the surface |

Surely that’s dependant in which island you visit, they are all very different! We loved it in Sal and Santa Maria, but Boa Vista is like the surface of Mars |
