If you can’t wait to see if you’re a winner, we have some Rental Weeks now available here Lanzarote Back in December five members of the DAE team visited Lanzarote to get a feel for the island and experience the resorts we have to offer. Here’s is what they thought: Rosie Club Las Calas Just before Christmas we enjoyed an educational trip to the lovely island of Lanzarote! We visited several resorts that DAE are proud to offer to our members and saw what the island has to offer. The units are spacious and fully equipped for all your catering needs! Puerto del Carmen is a lovely town with all the shops, bars and restaurants you need to make your holiday as enjoyable as possible! The town is made up of a long strip, close to the beach and also the old town which is incredibly picturesque! I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would greatly recommend the island itself along with Club Las Calas in particular! Keya Costa Sal My favourite resort in Lanzarote has to be Costa Sal in Puerto del Carmen, I was really impressed with the refurbishment of the units, they were all light, airy and had all the fixtures and fittings you would need. The gardens were extremely well maintained and the resort has 2 lovely pools, a bar/snack eatery and an a la carte restaurant. We stayed at a great resort in Puerto del Carmen called Club Las Calas, a resort that is hugely popular with all members and is also one of our Resorts of Excellence. It was clean and modern and is currently going through further refurbishments. The staff are incredibly friendly, no problem is too big! It has two eateries on site, a snack bar and a restaurant, both offering a wide range of food – which is fantastic! 6 | SPRING 2016 holiday access There is also a small shop on site should you need any small items. although for the more active, there are a couple of tennis courts on site. Costa Sal is situated about a 40 min walk from the centre of Puerto del Carmen, so is in a much more tranquil area. You can enjoy a nice long stroll along the beach front to reach the centre or the staff will kindly call a taxi for you which is around €4. For families this is a great resort, or if you are wanting to be less in the ‘hustle and bustle’ of it, this is also great resort for you! The pretty harbour town of Playa Blanca is situated on the southern tip of Lanzarote only a short 30 minute drive from the airport. It’s a pretty, laid back town with some fabulous restaurants along the promenade and some upmarket bars for an early sundowner cocktail overlooking the marina. We enjoyed a trip of the Island with ‘Grand Tours’, which was a full day trip with food included and I have to say this trip was really fantastic. Having never been to Lanzarote before I didn’t know what to expect at all, and this trip really opened my eyes as to how beautiful the island is. The tour took us to the National Park where you can get a camel ride and also to the volcanos and Timanfaya where the ground is over 100C. We saw the very unusual vineries as well as beautiful old churches and stunning scenery from great heights which make for outstanding pictures. Surprisingly, you can catch the ferry to Fuerteventura from Playa Blanca; the journey taking just over 30 minutes. It’s well worth a trip as the desert landscape is bare but beautiful and a big contrast to Lanzarote. Wendy P Playa Blanca & the two resorts of Wimpen Las Brisas & Las Casistas This was my first visit to Lanzarote, and infact, my first visit to a ‘winter-sun’ destination! I’m normally heading for the Austrian Alps in December so this was a total change for me and I was blown away by the dark, volcanic landscape, which was mesmerising. The two resorts of Wimpen Las Brisas & Wimpen Las Casitas in Playa Blanca were by far my two favourite resorts, with both being located very close together and offering similar standards and facilities. The traditional pueblo style villas, all fully air-conditioned with a spacious outdoor patio are dotted around pretty landscaped gardens and within easy walking distance of the town and the beach. These resorts are perfect for those with limited mobility as the units are all ground floor, 7 | SPRING 2016 holiday access Wendy H Fuerteventura While we were staying in Lanzarote we took the opportunity to take the car ferry from Playa Blanca across to Fuerteventura. Arriving in Corralejo, we visited Atlantic Garden Resort which is a quiet resort tucked away but also ideally located close to shops and an abundance of restaurants. It’s also within easy walking distance of the lovely sandy beaches which the island is famous for. We travelled through to Caleta de Fuste, driving past mile after mile of beautiful sand dunes and beaches, it was like being in a desert! Here we found Elite Fuerteventura Club which is a larger resort conveniently just five minutes from the island’s only golf course, a short journey from the beach and close to the airport for an easy transfer. It’s also a great place for touring around the island. Fuerteventura is the oldest Canary Island, and was formed about 70 million years ago as a result of volcanic activity.The geographical position of Fuerteventura means that for tens of thousands of years sand from the Sahara has been deposited on Fuerteventura’s shores. The result of this process is 125 miles of some of the world’s best beaches. Our Top FREE Travel Apps Love them or hate them, mobile phones are a way of life and if you’ve got a mini computer in your pocket, you may as well put it to work so that you don’t have to. Key Available on your PC/Laptop Available on the Apple App Store Available on the Android App Store Below are a list of DAE’s favourite travel apps currently available to download and keep on your phone for your next trip, be it across the sea or over the dale. Apps for the UK Travel TripAdvisor This app is THE place to find reviews on almost any aspect of your potential holiday plans. Be it the pub next door, the excursion to the city or even the deck chair hirer on the beach, TripAdvisor will likely have a review for it. Parkopedia Many of the currently available map apps will point out the nearest carpark, but how many will go into as much detail as live availability and price? Not only will this app find a local car park, but it will give you directions to it, as well as tell you how much you’ll have to pay to stay per hour and, for some car parks, the exact number of spaces currently available. Possibly an app to use for general life as well as holidays. Available: 8 | SPRING 2016 holiday access It’s worth bearing in mind that the user base is hard to please and that one reviewer’s 5* palatial residence is another’s 1* flea pit. Also remember that you don’t have to have been anywhere near the place being reviewed to be eligible to write one, so read some reviews with a pinch of salt. However this app is a great place to start when experiencing somewhere new. Available: Apps for further afield Duolingo This free and well-designed language learning app has over 65 million users and although it’s not a replacement for proper language tuition, it is a fun way to learn the basics, or keep your grammar and vocabulary skills up to date. In the vein of an National Trust Explore more than 500 special places within England, Wales and Northern Ireland protected by the National Trust. From, historic buildings, archaeological sites, monuments and even Game of Thrones filming locations, this app will keep you updated with news about what’s on along with being a fountain of knowledge for planning your next visit. Available: intelligence computer game, Duolingo takes you through the levels you need to complete before advancing, awarding you points as you go. Available: Explore Scotland A hassle free tool to help you plan your trip around Scotland, the Explore Scotland app allows you to create your holiday itinerary with the local events and attraction finder whilst also allowing you to keep an eye on the weather. Available: 9 | SPRING 2016 holiday access Onavo Extend With the current data roaming charges being applied we’re all a little wary about using our data whilst abroad, especially with the horror stories of large bills people have received whilst doing so. Until the agreed EU cap arrives next summer, this app will help you drastically reduce the amount of data required to perform everyday tasks, such as retrieving email and posting to Facebook. It also stops the loading of images until you scroll down to them saving you wasted data usage. Available: Google Translate Figure 1 The screen shot of our sign being translated along with the original sign layered on the top PackPoint If like me you’re not a fan of packing (see previous editions of Holiday Access) you’ll love this app. Select your destination, your duration and reason for visiting and PackPoint will give you a full list of items you’ll likely need. As you pack each item you tick it off the suggestions list meaning this is a great app for those (like me) who always forget something. Available: And finally, possibly the most important of all SitOrSquat A bit like TripAdvisor, but for toilets, SitORsquat offers an indispensable guide to where the local toilets are and more important, if they’re worth spending a penny at. Available: 10 | SPRING 2016 holiday access With Google Translate you can type in or dictate short sentences which will then be translated from one language to another. Useful for when you’re in line for a drink and don’t want to look like a traditional tourist, all you need to do is select an input and an output language and then type or dictate your message. The app then gives you a translated text, or a short synthesized voice message. New features have also been added allowing you to translate text and signage as if by magic with the aid of your camera. Now that’s clever. Available: Destination Feature The Algarve The Algarve has long been a holiday favourite, with the lively seaside towns, golden pristine beaches secluded coves, cliff top walks and numerous golf courses making this one of our most popular destinations. Beyond these obvious attractions there’s more to discover in the region – from towns crowned by centuries-old castles and cathedrals, to picturesque villages and enchanting stretches of shoreline. Vilamoura If you’re looking for Algarve luxury, add the resort of Vilamoura to your list. This purposebuilt resort offers accommodation, eateries and activities to suit all tastes. It is built around numerous golf courses and beautiful parks and gardens with lovely walks, running and cycling tracks crisscrossing the whole area. The centre of Vilamoura is built round the luxurious marina, bordered by exclusive shops, restaurants and bars. Resorts include: Dom Pedro Portobello Hotel Four Seasons at Vilamoura Hotel Vila Gale Ampalius Faro The Algarve’s historic and vibrant towns each have a unique personality. Faro is the region’s capital and has a more Portuguese feel than many other towns, with a fascinating medieval quarter and wonderful sandy islands in the bay. If you find yourself with a few hours to spare this lovely city is well worth exploring. 11 | SPRING 2016 holiday access Dom Pedro Portobello Hotel Albufeira Beach Albufeira Heading further west, the next destination you reach is the cliff side town of Albufeira. A former fishing village, it is now a thriving tourist town. Offering a vast array of activities and excursions, there really is something to suit everyone’s taste. Sao Rafael Beach The west side of the town has easy access to one of the most beautiful beaches in Europe, Praia Sao Rafael, which really is worth a visit and is within easy walking distance of Ponta Grande Resort. Resorts include: Ponta Grande Sao Rafael Clube Praia da Oura Acqua Maris Balaia Ponta Grande Sao Rafael 12 | SPRING 2016 holiday access Carvoeiro Travelling further along the coast you reach the lovely town of Carvoeiro. Once a traditional small fishing village, it has managed to retain its charm due to its stunning location in a steep sided valley. Two cobbled roads lined with restaurants and shops lead down to a pretty square which opens up on to a beautifully sheltered, sandy bay, protected on either side by golden cliffs. You can still watch local fishermen landing their catches or book a boat trip for an excursion down the coast to see the fabulous sea caves and grottos. The cliff tops around Carvoeiro offer plenty of scope for walking with some great views and also access to spectacular sandy coves. Resorts include: Monte Carvoeiro Club Ponta Grande Carvoeiro Alvor The next seafront town is the seaside resort and fishing village of Alvor. Cobbled, winding lanes lined with restaurants, cafés, bars and shops lead down from its ancient church to the recently renovated paved riverfront, an ideal place to relax. Choose from one of the many cafés, all with open air terraces and enjoy the views across the Ria Alvor. The wetlands of the Alvor river estuary provide a unique and protected habitat for resident and migratory birds. There is a small marina in the estuary where you can book boat trips. The beaches at Alvor are magnificent and access Alto Golf Club pool couldn’t be easier – just park and walk onto the beach. There is also a new wooden boardwalk that runs behind the beach, among the dunes, and makes for a lovely walk along the river estuary. Resorts include: Alto Club Pestana Alvor Park Pestana Alvor Beach Club Elliot at Vale Do Lobe Booking tip All the resorts are very busy in the summer as most Portuguese people also take their holidays in July and particularly August. If you’re not keen on crowds and are not tied to high-season, avoid visiting at this time. Spring and autumn are excellent alternatives. The Algarve’s climate boasts 300 days of sunshine a year and mild temperatures, making it ideal for watersport enthusiasts, tennis lovers and especially golfers as it is home to some of the best courses in Europe. With so many budget airlines flying to Faro, a trip to the Algarve should not break the bank. You can view all our current Algarve availability here Almancil A small town on the southern shoreline of Portugal enjoying a warm climate around the year. It has become an important hub for service providers catering for the needs of two wellestablished holiday and residential developments nearby. These are Quinta do Lago and Vale do Lobo. There is a large selection of restaurants offering different forms of cuisine and plenty of shops for all tastes Resorts Include: Quinta do Lago Country Club Elliot at Vale Do Lobe 13 | SPRING 2016 holiday access Cancellation Protection Option - Reassurance should you not be able to travel Nobody wants to think about having to cancel their holiday, but should the worst come to the worst and you are not able to travel, DAE’s Cancellation Protection Option (CPO) gives you peace of mind that you will receive a full refund of your exchange cost, and even more importantly receive your holiday credit back to use again against a future exchange at a more convenient time. The return of your exchange credit to your account is one thing your travel insurance will never cover, and to earn this credit you had to pay your maintenance or management fees at your home resort, which are routinely hundreds of pounds, so it’s really important not to lose it. 14 | SPRING 2016 holiday access For just £12.00 you can fully protect the cost of your holiday exchange fee AND have your banked week credit reinstated, so make sure you add Cancellation Protection to your next booking. Should the unthinkable happen, there’s one thing less to worry about.
