A couple was left stunned after they discovered that they were the only guests staying at a luxury five-star resort in Mexico.
Cameron Jensen headed to Los Cabos earlier this month with his wife for their babymoon, booking a room at the brand new Grand Velas Boutique Los Cabos, where rooms start at a whopping $1,150 a night.
But soon after arriving, the pair noticed that they didn’t see any other people around the property – and while having the
In the second of the Back to the Future movies, Michael J. Fox’s character, Marty McFly, wore a jacket that rapidly air-dried itself after a lake dunking. ‘Drying mode on,’ the jacket’s robot voice intoned before quickly confirming, ‘Your jacket is now dry.’ If real, this would be such a brilliant piece of travel kit, especially as it no doubt had warm-up and cool-down functionality, too.
We live eight years after the 1989 film’s ‘future’ date of 2015 but don’t
Have you ever ordered the wrong food on holiday because you couldn’t read the menu?
Or perhaps you’ve found yourself wandering around a city for hours, unable to get to your destination because the signs weren’t in English.
Well, a little-known app could save you from these two major holiday stresses.
Google Lens is a free app, available on both Android and iOS, and is described as a ‘travel companion’ during the holiday season.

A Tesco shopper was left gobsmacked after discovering a receipt from 1997 stuffed in an old cassette case. In almost pristine condition, it showed the stark reality of inflation with products differing considerably in cost.
The 22 item shop in June 1997 came to just £27.26. According to the Bank of England, with the costs adjusted from inflation, that would cost around £50 in June 2023.
Reddit user SteezMe1234 shared the receipt with users on the platform. And many commenters
Facebook users who have accidentally had their photos deleted are able to restore them with a couple of simple hacks.
A large number of users launched complaints last week after claims that the platform was mysteriously deleting photos off people’s profiles.
Some seem to believe that photos were wiped tended to be organised into folders or were uploaded
Saint Lucia was recently voted Best Island in the Caribbean by Global Traveller magazine.
So it was the spur to visit and see if it deserved such a lofty accolade.
It is an easy eight-hour flight from London and the descent to St Lucia’s Hewanoora airport offers a bird’s-eye view of the most spectacular volcanic peaks in the Caribbean – the mighty Pitons, a Unesco-designated World Heritage Site.
CHOCOLATE HEAVEN
Saint Lucia’s volcanic soil is rich in minerals and the
We often ‘go Dutch’ in restaurants and split the bill. When faced with a challenge, we look to summon up some ‘Dutch courage’. And if a person bangs on incomprehensibly, we might conclude that he or she is talking ‘double Dutch’.
Yet some of us (well, me at least) haven’t set foot in the Netherlands — the proper name of the country, rather than Holland, which only accounts for the two provinces of Noord-Holland and Zuid-Holland and not the full
A heady mix of contradictions is going on here in the Cayman Islands. Offshore diving and offshore banking. Dazzling sunsets and financial assets. Delicious shellfish and dubious shell companies.
Tucked in the westernmost corner of the Caribbean, I wonder what the Caymans, one of the world’s most notorious tax havens, offers civilians like me as I ruefully pay £30 for a ten-minute taxi ride and almost as much for a glass of wine.
It’s expensive, but it’s rapidly gaining status
So many restaurants, so little time. Paris has nearly 40,000 places in which to eat out, more than any other European city. But how to make the most of them? Visitors are so spoilt for choice that it’s almost impossible to draw up a meaningful shortlist, especially if, like most travellers from Britain, you are only staying for a weekend. The sheer variety of establishments is overwhelming – neighbourhood bistros, chic ethnic cafes, brassy noisy brasseries, high-end restaurants graced with
Hanging from one arm, a three-toed sloth is asleep in a tree in Tortuguero National Park, on the north-east coast of Costa Rica. ‘It was likely climbing higher,’ says our guide, ‘then nodded off on the move.’
Sloths, we learn, sleep for up to 20 hours of the day, turning narcolepsy into an art form. This cute, sleepy mammal has become the pin-up for Costa Rica tourism and it’s what visitors are most keen to encounter.
Costa Rica, sandwiched between
