Heading to Singapore in October for 4 nights, always fascinated by the Marina Bay Hotel and wanted to stay in the it for at least two off the nights. Was expecting it to be very expensive but was prepared to suffer a bit of pain. Got it for 465stg a night so took the four nights.

Couldn't get Jurys in for that the Saturday night the weekend of the quarter finals for that.

Went a couple of years ago with the kids, pre covid, and it was great. We stayed in one of the houses on the site but had full access to the pool etc. We booked the VIP tour for the kids in the zoo and it was some of the best money I've ever spent. Kids loved it, got to feed the penguins, monkeys and giraffes. I got to feed the lions and tigers, kids were too small to throw a steak or fish over the fence. We didn't tour about that much though, into Middleton and Cobh and went to the cinema in Cork one wet day. I'd recommend Ferret and Lee for food just outside the Jameson distillery.

using reward points is a great way to stay in expensive hotels for peanuts

anyone paying 4/500 euro a night for a hotel are off their head

At a time when rates are €500 there won't be many rooms available for reward points.
If at first you don't succeed, then goto Plan B

Managed to get the Radisson at the airport on Sunday night on reward points, couldn't believe it. We'll leave the car there for two wks so they will get plenty from us.

Over £120 per night for a 4* hotel room in......Enniskillen.
That this is considered reasonable in the current climate tells you all you need to know.
If the majority of people thought £60pp in high summer too much for a 4* hotel to charge, then there'd be no hotels.

Thanks. That does sound reasonable.

I was looking at a 4 star in France for 5 nights at €2000

Slieve Donard Hotel (nice hotel in a lively town in the Mournes, pool, spa, breakfast included) - around £200 for standard room for a night.  I thought that was OK - have paid more there.

2 rooms, no? 975 for a week for 2 rooms. 60 quid a night in a 4* hotel isn't good value?!

SD has always been nice, but pricy. Was going to get married there!
