After spending a heady four months on this most hedonistic of Balearic islands, I’m generally pretty excited when I see deals that threaten to return me back to its sunny shores! As someone whose spent quite a bit of time in Ibiza, I know first hand that it is many things – but it isn’t [...]
In our technologically accelerated world of iPods, iPads, kindles and general instant gratification, we’re starting to think that there’s something rather appealing about the simple pleasure of a leisurely, scenic train journey! With the advent of bullet trains and super-efficient plane journeys, we’d do well to remember that as a wise man once said; it’s [...]
If weather in Britain during the month of April were a train, it would surely only stop at the stations of Hopelesstown and Depressingville. Peering gloomily out of our rain-soaked windows, it’s become painfully apparent that the dealchecker office have mostly been dreaming of afternoons spent abroad, sipping perfectly chilled wine and gazing out over [...]
Here at dealchecker, we’re always up for anything that promises a bit of pampering! Which is why when we saw this deal from the La Mola Hotel, we had to make it our Pick of The Real Deals this week! Two nights in Barcelona for only £99 per person sound like a steal to us – [...]
When you’re travelling, few things are worse than discovering that you’ve not only forked out for your hotel and flights, but you’re probably also paying for some street-scammers dinner/new watch. Criminality and scams are an unfortunate truth present at just about every corner of the globe; where there’s money, there will almost certainly be someone [...]
After a brief hiatus, dealcheckers’ Bizarre Hotel of the Month is BACK and ready to weird up your cyber-walls. This one has really caught our attention; Hotel Everland is a project by the artist duo L/B, and is basically a transportable, one room hotel that is lifted up and put down again somewhere wacky! Its [...]
Whilst the English weather has been gracing us with its slightly sweeter alter ego as of late, here at dealchecker, we still dream of tropical heat and rum punch by the beach. Sitting in the park eating a Pret A Manger sandwich in the sunshine is all well and good but when deals like this [...]
When there’s ever an event to celebrate, commiserate – or even when we just really fancy making idiots of ourselves – here at dealchecker, we like to do things properly. By properly, we mean, enforcing (by force, if necessary) one or all of the following components: a.) Fancy dress b.)A bar tab of epic proportions [...]
Well…perhaps mayhem’s a tad strong. First things first: I wouldn’t describe myself as the countryside type. As a Londoner born and bred, I prefer the sparkle of city lights to the crunch of country leaves – but this offer might just change my mind! Even if – like me – you favour a day of [...]
Three things are likely to happen to you in Naples. 1.) You’ll worry endlessly about the Scippatori, before realising that you’re probably not about to be mugged – by scooter – on every street corner. 2.)You will almost certainly get shouted at by a Neapolitan for being too slow – you probably were, so don’t [...]
With its glossy malls, adventurous architecture and designer shops, Dubai is undoubtedly the playground of the wealthy. There’s lots to do, plenty to see and much to take in, but if you fancy spending your time in Dubai a little differently, here are a few things you might want to try… Dubai Creek When the [...]
I’ve been itching to get away to beautiful Budapest since my good friend Katie described it like this in an email: “Budapest, what can I say? The people are all gorgeous, the buildings full of amazing romantic character, the alcohol dangerously cheap, the evenings humid and streets noisy. It’s fascinating, hedonistic and utterly unique.” I’ve [...]
You might think that that trip to Ibiza is an absolute bargain because you only paid £50 for your return flights, but you’ll have a nasty surprise once you get to the Balaeric paradise to realise that average entry to a nightclub is around the £60 mark and the restaurants are similarly purse-obliterating! With this [...]
Food and travel are as intertwined as James and his Giant Peach. Whether you’re chowing down on scrumptious sushi in Japan or gobbling goulash in Budapest (were you Hungary? Sorry) sampling the culinary offerings of the country you’re visiting as as important – in my opinion – to your cultural experience as visiting twelve cathedrals. [...]
We dealcheckers have a heartening message to impart: Winter will not last forever. That’s right; soon spring will have sprung, and how better to celebrate sensation returning to our fingers than a two-night Prague escape?! One of our clever deal hunters stumbled across this bargain from lowcostholidays.com, and by golly, we think it’s a good’un! Stay [...]
Falling in love, it would appear, is the easy part. It’ s what comes after that can prove a little trickier! Keeping your loved one happy with the necessary treats, trips and gifts can be exhausting, which is where Gift Ideas for Two have come to the rescue! They’re offering amazing weekend breaks for two [...]
A lousy church clock? An Eiffel Tower keyring? A Bob Marley dreadlock hat? We have all three. As you probably know, we’re kind of into travel. When we’re not talking about it, writing about it or dreaming about it, we’re doing it. Travelling, that is. Now, like most offices we are contractually obliged to bring [...]
We don’t feature that many Ireland deals in our weekly newsletter (not on purpose, we promise!) so when we come across one like this we’re pretty impressed with our deal digging savvy. This amazing offer from Diamond Resorts International® is offering up self catering holiday villas in picturesque Bodyke from as little as £40 per [...]
A recent visit to that holy grail of paradise islands – Barbados – confirmed my suspicions that Caribbean cuisine is among the most lip-smackingly, waistband-swellingly delicious in the world. Although admittedly, the island is populated with restaurants serving up Italian, French, Japanese – just about everything but Caribbean, it sometimes seems – there are still [...]
Dry land…or wet sea….dry land…or wet sea…This conundrum is surely one of the most pressing and urgent decisions of our modern age. Image from ecoturkey.com Erm, sort of. But if you are the type of person who gets genuinely stuck when deciding between digestives or hobnobs, you might like this double-packin’ combination of holiday goodness. [...]
