Welcome to Pakistan

From the mighty stretches of the Karakorams in the North to the vast alluvial delta of the Indus River in the South, Pakistan remains a land of high adventure and nature. Trekking, mountaineering, white water rafting, wild boar hunting, mountain and desert jeep safaris, camel and yak safaris, trout fishing and bird watching, are a few activities, which entice the adventure and nature lovers to Pakistan.

Pakistan is endowed with a rich and varied flora and fauna. High Himalayas, Karakoram and the Hindukush ranges with their alpine meadows and permanent snow line, coniferous forests down the sub-mountain scrub, the vast Indus plain merging into the great desert, the coast line and wetlands, all offer a remarkably rich variety of vegetation and associated wildlife including avifauna, both endemic and migratory. Ten of 18 mammalian orders are represented in Pakistan with species ranging from the world's smallest surviving mammals, the Mediterranean Pigmy Shrew, to the largest mammal ever known; the blue whale.

Novotel Orly Rungis

We stayed here for two nights and that was enough. The beds are comfortable, as is the room. You can watch some tv but stay off the mini bar - it's sooo expensive!
Breakfast sucks.
If you wanna get a drink after a day of exploring Paris, you can do so in the (small) bar they have. But that's very pricy too. I stayed in this hotel twice (don't ask me why) and at both check-outs they tried to make me pay extra for using either the mini-bar or ppv-tv - neither of which I actually used!!
So please, be careful about that.

Hotel Daubusson

Stayed at this hotel for three days and had a very pleasant stay. Great location, very near Notre Dame and Left Bank. On a small street very close to restaurants. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was a very good size and very nicely decorated. Very large bathroom.

Nicely decorated room- very good location.

We had a very nice stay at this hotel. The rooms were somewhat dated in decor, but extremely clean and large. The bathrooms were very large and very modern. Our room was larger than I would imagine most Parisian hotels to be. Chambermaids were efficient and the room was always clean, towels changed daily, bed was turned down at night. Complimentary slippers and spa robes were provided. Abundants amounts of hot water and really nice water pressure made getting the grime off a pleasure. The showers were a little small by american standards, but I had no problem as a 6'2' 200lb man.

The hotel staff was proficient in English and were so kind to every need that we had, they really cared about your hospitality and couldn't do enough to help you. We had little treats in our room every night which was a really nice touch, and not to mention the Hermes toiletries in the bath were top-notch.

The breakfast at the hotel was efficient, though I wouldn't have paid for it if it hadn't been included in the package that we got. We were there 10 days and the menu for breakfast was always the same which led to some boredome on our part, but it was hot, and the staff was very attentive to you for all you need. There are dozens of brasseries and cafes in the area so unless you get the package deal, save a few euros and eat out for breakfast.

Disney's Sequoia Lodge - Parks tickets included

Our stay at Disney's Sequoia Lodge was certainly satisfying, but yet nothing more than that. Everything about it really was the epitomy of average. I could have no complaints about the room- spacious(ish), comfortable, clean bathroom and linen, but it was very basic, and certainly didn't leave a lasting impression.

I must say that unfortunately I didn't get the opportunity to use the swimming pool while I was there, and from the brochure pictures it looked very pleasant. The best thing about the hotel was probably the resteraunt which offered a good choice of high quality food which we were very satisfied with.

The hotel's paths and gardens are very picteresque and colourful, and add to the relaxing qualities of the hotel. Though I fear that is by trying too hard to give the hotel a relaxing aura that they feel. They seem to be concentrating on giving the place an air of tranquility in a resort that was designed for the opposite, and this is where the hotel falls flat on it's back.
