How to make the right hotel choice for a dream holiday

It’s a heatwave! What’s for dinner?

Have you barely made it out the door and are already sweating profusely? If so, you definitely don’t want to stand over the barbecue to cook supper. What can you eat when it’s too hot to fire up the grill? Here are a few inspiring no- cook meals. Tartars A true gastronomic classic, tartars are the perfect treat when the mercury rises. Choose salmon, tuna or beef to keep things traditional. Opt for bison if you want to try something different. Keep the ingredients cool and thoroughly clean your tools and work surfaces to prevent cross- contamination. If you choose beef, buy a muscle cut instead of mince.

perfectly blend acidity and freshness, offering a bouquet of flavours. Jazz things up with seasonal ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and green onions. Gazpacho is super easy to make! All you have to do is put all the ingredients in the blender and turn it on! Zucchini noodles Refreshing and easy to prepare, these vegetable “spaghetti” noodles will delight your guests. Purchase a spiral cutter and have fun cutting up zucchini with your family. How you prepare these “zoodles” is only limited by your imagination. Use a basil or sun-dried tomato pesto, pine nuts, vinegar dress- ing or a little Parmesan and pepper.

Choosing a practical and comfortable hotel is crucial when planning your dream holiday, regardless of how much time you plan to spend there. Here are some tips to keep in mind when making your reservation. Consider the location While it may be more expensive up-front, a well-located hotel can save you time. In other words, you’ll have more time for sightseeing. Plus, you’ll save on transportation costs if it’s close to famous attractions. However, be sure to keep your preferences and needs in mind. If you want peace and quiet, staying downtown might not be the best choice. Check services and facilities Before making a reservation, identify your priorities and make sure the hotel you

choose can meet them. For example, does the hotel have a kitchenette, balcony, king-size bed, beach view or free Wi-Fi? Also, consider if breakfast is included and if there’s on-site parking. Read online reviews While some guest reviews should be taken with a grain of salt, they can still provide valuable insights. You can also check out blogs or join travel communities on social media (e.g. Facebook groups) to browse photos and get an accurate idea of the hotel’s quality and cleanliness. Finally, compare different hotels to find the best value for money. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to contact the hotel directly. This will also show you how much the y care about the customer experience.
