Disaster! You’re under medical advice to avoid the hard liquor on the exact weekend you had planned to spend exploring all the cultural charm of Dublin’s Temple Bar. As Alanis Morissette would warble, “isn’t it ironic”. Well, no, not really. Luckily Dublin’s a stunning city which doesn’t need any beer-goggle enhancement. And to prove it, [...]
A great game is always worth travelling for – but some host venues are always going to mean more than others. Here we list our top sporting venues, which can give us tingles down our spines simply by stepping through the gates. Wembley Stadium – London, UK Wembley Stadium – Image © Howard Layne It’s [...]
The British love affair with the Spanish resorts is decades old now – I may be too young to remember how it began, but I can clearly remember my first trip to Spain, and why I’m crazy about this land of sun, sand and sangria (I might have given away the answer there). Here are [...]
Before you go: Get a great deal! Just in case the cruise of your dreams isn’t in this week’s Real Deals newsletter here’s our best advice on finding a fantastic price on a cruise: Book early or wait until late Last-minute departures are where you find the biggest savings – especially if you can wait [...]
Back when Jack and Kate were (not quite) crossing the Atlantic it looked like guests had to create their own entertainment. Thank goodness for the distractions of class divisions and Irish jigs, eh? For the liners cruising the oceans today a whole lot has changed. You could spend your entire week ice skating, rock climbing, [...]
It’s really rather simple to summarise why we’ve picked out this discounted offer at the five-star Corinthia Palace Hotel & Spa in Malta as our pick of the real deals this week: 1. It’s an amazing hotel… 2. …for less… 3. …and you can’t find this deal anywhere else! OK. So perhaps you want a [...]
Mind if I state the obvious for a moment? Dubai is quite an expensive place to visit. This Middle Eastern super city is all about wealth: its top attractions include gold souks, marble-lined shopping centres, hotels dripping in diamonds and a certain kilometre high building built on a budget which would bankrupt, well, almost anyone [...]
As it’s April Fools’ Day we couldn’t resist bringing you some unbelievable experience offers. Whilst we’re normally all about Real Deals, today there’s a twist – some of the offers are completely fake. We promise that some of these bizarre activities are real experiences you can actually buy! What’s more they’re great value, all price [...]
Want a Cuban beach getaway but don’t know where to begin? Don’t worry. We’ve already risked blinding ourselves visiting Cuba’s brilliant white sandy shores, and we’re willing to share some of our favourites. We know. So selfless of us.
I’m a sucker for any suggestion of some old-school glamour from a holiday. The merest mention of fancy sleeper services, steam ships or “season” and “Italy” in the same sentence and I’m already imagining my way into the pages of A Room with a View (maybe minus a chaperone?). Say those four magic words “Golden [...]
The viewing platform known as “The View” atop London’s latest skyscraper and Western Europe’s highest building has been open one month now, so dealchecker thought it was ‘high’ time (groan) we got ourselves to the summit of The Shard to suss out the value of that view; is £25 for a 40 mile vista a [...]
There are some very strict rules about travelling to jealousy-inducing destinations here at dealchecker. 1) You will bring us back treats 2) You will be subjected to incessant pestering by the blog writing team. “Give us your photos” and “oh go oooooon… please?” rapidly descends into veiled threats about job security and open threats of [...]
The traditional island getaway is somewhere remote. Somewhere with beach huts, only the sound of the waves lapping the sandy shore and just the stars for company. Yawn. Borrring. We’ve got the island getaways for those who don’t want to getaway. Bright busy islands where you can dance ’til dawn, climb celebrated Cathedrals and flit [...]
Ah love! It’s not rational or quantifiable, and just what it means can be hard to pin down. In many places it is symbolised by pairs of lovers attaching a padlock – or love locks as they are known – to the same spot as hundreds, if not thousands have done before. But councils everywhere [...]
Just look at Kos’s Diamond Deluxe Hotel. LOOK AT IT. Now try to tell me that you don’t want to go there. I simply won’t believe you. This sophisticated boutique hotel on the Greek island of Kos is all style (with substance) as evidenced by the crisp minimalist architecture, brilliant white furnishings, extensive pool area [...]
I’m going to hit you with the bad news first. My favourite deal in this week’s real deals newsletter costs… deep breath £2,299 per person. We’re talking once-in-a-lifetime spectacular holiday kind of stuff here. But as amazing holidays go it’s right up there: a 40-night holiday sailing all the way from Singapore into Southampton on [...]
Even if you knew nothing about the Great Barrier Reef you’d still be able to gather that it’s pretty big. It’s right there in the name! Which gives most travellers a dilemma. You want to see this amazing natural wonder, but where to start? We’ve listed all the ways we know to get stuck into [...]
Despite finding amazing deals to brand new hotels in glam locations like Dubai and St Lucia for our weekly newsletter, I’m keeping it simple in my pick this week; a short and sweet trip to the Algarve for a rather fabulous price: from £149 per person all inclusive – found on offer at Broadway Travel.
After a dramatic week for the USA the country is ready to take to the polls to elect their next President. What’s dealchecker’s opinion? Don’t worry, we’re not going to get all political on you, we just think that after months of hard campaigning both candidates deserve a holiday, and we’ve come up with a [...]
