Anonymous User: Excellent service from the moment you arrive. The staff is very attentive, the facilities are impeccable, and everything is very clean. The only thing to improve is making 100% natural juices at least once a day. That's all; otherwise, everything is excellent.

Chavez: Average hotel, average service, barely average food, restaurant says breakfast at 6:30am but its not completely ready till 7am. Very nice beach. Elevator near reception often broken, property needs a refurb as last one was in 2012 so looks quite tired now. Regardless, I had a pleasent stay once I got used to its quirks. Room had AC issues and don't expect any Internet (it's not advertised) except in lobby. Regardless its close to airport and I had a pleasent to stay once I I got used to aforementioned issues.

Guest User: Hotel well placed near the capital San Domiguo and the airport. Regarding the logistics of arrival, difficult to have explanations in French (beach linen with deposit, possibility to book at the themed restaurant if take 2 to 3 days before) The New Year's Eve buffet on the 31 Exeptionnel. Beautiful and very good. Too bad we were on the 1st service at 6.30 p.m. Holiday season and very festive in the evening with quite loud music Our comfortable and very well placed room with sea view. Hearty buffet for all tastes. Hotel value for money correct.

EagleChen123: 房間乾淨衞生，房間裏的檔次很差。但是，這個酒店其他啥都很好。 前台服務很好 餐廳飲食做的很棒，價格偏貴，吃了一份牛排，花了三十美金多吧，因為加税和小費挺貴的 房間這裡外面二樓有露台可以坐着户外看大街，我是坐那抽煙🚬刷手機。 房間和國內小旅館差不多。其他都挺棒。

Lubutingagui: Very good customer service is also very good. The location of the hotel is very good. A few hundred meters is the seaside. The hotel service is also very good. The reception staff is very warm and helpful. The family is rushing!

Barrs: I enjoyed this hotel so much that I extended my stay an additional night. It's super convenient to the airport and close to Santo Domingo, but offers a wonderful escape from the hectic city! It is directly facing the beautiful waters of Boca Chica Beach and close to surfing at La Boya. The rooms have been recently updated and are very comfortable. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again on my next trip to the south coast of the Dominican Republic.

Melbourne Stay Planner: CBD, Southbank or St Kilda?
Choose your Melbourne base around the part of the day you want to repeat—not just the nicest hotel photo. For a first visit without a car, start with the CBD if city sights and laneway meals lead your plans. Southbank is worth comparing when riverside evenings and the arts are central to the stay. St Kilda makes more sense when beachside mornings and bay-side cafés are a recurring part of the trip, rather than a single outing. Then test the exact hotel pin against your real plans: a Southbank address does not guarantee a river view, and St Kilda Road is not the same location as St Kilda Beach. Room suitability and the journeys you will actually make can outweigh the area label. Save the guide before booking, and share it with the person planning the trip with you. #Melbourne #MelbourneTravel #WhereToStay #AustraliaTravel #TravelPlanning

Melbourne: 4 hidden gems for your second trip
✈️Melbourne❗️ 4 highly-rated spots for a second visit🔥 Visiting Melbourne for the second time, I'm still deeply moved by this city. Compared to the rushed sightseeing of the first trip, this time I took it slow and picked out 4 of the most worthwhile hidden gems. They offer a mix of nature, art, and seaside romance, and I've personally vetted them—you won't be disappointed. 🌟Puffing Billy Railway Hidden in the Dandenong Ranges, this century-old steam train was the biggest surprise of the trip. Sitting in the open wooden carriages with your feet dangling outside, accompanied by the toot of the whistle, you travel through dense rainforest. Along the way, you'll pass tall eucalyptus trees, fern-filled valleys, and mountain cabins. When the mist rolls in, it feels like stepping into a fairy tale. I recommend the Belgrave–Lakeside return trip; the pace is relaxed, and you can take a short walk at Emerald Lake to rest. 💡Tips: You must book your tickets online in advance, as there are basically no tickets available on-site. 📍Location: Dandenong Ranges, eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Starts at Belgrave Station, about a 1-hour drive from the city center 🌟Brighton Beach bathing boxes Ninety-two colorful bathing boxes line the beach, with blue, yellow, pink, and green hues interweaving like scattered candy along the coast. Facing the deep blue ocean, with soft sand and a gentle sea breeze, the light is softest at sunrise or sunset. The boxes are wrapped in warm light, making every photo look like a postcard. Take a slow walk along the coastline, listen to the waves, and watch the seagulls—it's incredibly healing. 💡Tips: The bathing boxes are private property; you can only take photos from the outside and cannot enter them. 📍Location: Brighton Beach, Dendy St, Brighton VIC 3186, about a 30-minute drive south of Melbourne city center 🌟Royal Botanic Gardens🌿 A green wonderland right next to the city center, this is a quiet oasis hidden in the bustling city. With vast, well-manicured lawns and a lake resting quietly in the park, you can see black swans swimming leisurely on the water. Everywhere you look, there are towering ancient trees and scattered flowers. Find a patch of grass, lay out a picnic mat, zone out, and watch the city skyline peek through the trees—a perfect temporary escape from the urban hustle. 💡Tips: The park is huge, so you don't need to walk through the whole thing. A stroll along the lake is enough to get great photos. 📍Location: Birdwood Ave, South Yarra VIC 3141, right next to Melbourne CBD 🌟Hosier Lane graffiti street🎨 Melbourne's most iconic street art lane, it's like a living, open-air art exhibition. The walls, door frames, and even trash cans along the entire lane are covered in intense, vibrant graffiti. The artwork is constantly updated, so you'll see something different every time you visit. The narrow lane is full of a free and lively street atmosphere, perfect for atmospheric street photography. If you're lucky, you might even catch an artist painting on-site. 💡Tips: The lane is small, so go on a weekday morning when there are fewer tourists. 📍Location: Hosier Ln, Melbourne VIC 3000, opposite Federation Square in the city center, just a few minutes' walk from Flinders Street Station This second trip wasn't rushed; I took my time to experience Melbourne's diverse character. Mountains, forests, coastlines, gardens, and street art—four completely different types of scenery, all experienced in one trip. No wonder once you've been...
🇦🇺 MELBOURNE: COFFEE, CULTURE & COASTLINES ☕️🌊
Melbourne is the kind of city that rewards you for slowing down — start the morning with a perfectly poured flat white, wander through colourful laneways, stop for brunch, browse independent boutiques, and end the day by the coast. ✨ I put together this 5-day Melbourne itinerary to capture the different sides of the city, from its iconic architecture and world-famous coffee culture to its creative neighbourhoods and spectacular coastal landscapes. DAY 1 — City Icons & Laneways 🚋 Start at Flinders Street Station, one of Melbourne’s most recognisable landmarks, then walk through Federation Square and discover the colourful murals of Hosier Lane. Take a coffee break along Degraves Street before ending the afternoon around Federation Square and the Yarra River. DAY 2 — Coffee, Brunch & Fitzroy ☕️🥐 Melbourne and coffee are practically inseparable. Spend the morning exploring specialty cafés and enjoying a classic flat white with brunch, then head towards Fitzroy for independent cafés, local shops and a slower neighbourhood atmosphere. DAY 3 — The Creative Side 🎨🛍️ Explore Fitzroy and Brunswick Street, where colourful Victorian terraces meet vintage stores, independent boutiques, galleries, street murals and relaxed sidewalk cafés. This is the side of Melbourne that feels creative, local and effortlessly cool. DAY 4 — The Great Escape 🚗🌊 Leave the city behind for a road trip along the Great Ocean Road. Follow dramatic coastal cliffs and winding roads towards the iconic Twelve Apostles, stopping at scenic lookouts along the way. Golden-hour light makes the limestone stacks and Southern Ocean views especially unforgettable. DAY 5 — Coastal Days 🌅🥧 Slow things down around St Kilda, stroll along the pier and enjoy the seaside atmosphere before heading to Brighton Beach to see its colourful bathing boxes. Finish with a Melbourne-style coffee, brunch and an Aussie classic — a warm meat pie. ✨ My Melbourne highlights: ☕️ Specialty coffee & brunch culture 🎨 Hosier Lane & Fitzroy street art 🏛️ Flinders Street Station & city architecture 🛍️ Vintage shopping & independent boutiques 🌴 St Kilda & Brighton Beach 🚗 Great Ocean Road & Twelve Apostles #Melbourne #VisitMelbourne #MelbourneTravel #MelbourneGuide #MelbourneItinerary
5 Australian Photo Spots That Outshine the Famous Landmarks
🇦🇺📸 5 Hidden Gems in Australia for Better-Than-Landmark Photos Australia is so much more than just the Sydney Opera House or its iconic beaches 🌊. Venture out into nature, and you'll discover wildly diverse landscapes—from towering ocean cliffs and ancient rainforests to striking red rock canyons. Here are 5 spots perfect for high-end Landscape + Editorial photography 📷 01 | Great Ocean Road, Victoria 🌊 A legendary coastal drive lined with limestone cliffs, secluded beaches, and the vast Southern Ocean. Port Campbell National Park, home to the Twelve Apostles, is the crown jewel of this route (Visit Great Ocean Road). 📸 The Angle: Try capturing the layered perspective of the coastline where the cliffs meet the sea, rather than just focusing on the Twelve Apostles themselves. ✨ Best Time: Early morning or just before sunset. The light hits the limestone stacks and cliffs beautifully at these hours (Visit Great Ocean Road). 02 | Daintree Rainforest, Queensland 🌿 An ancient tropical rainforest where mountains, streams, and dense jungle meet the coast. Daintree National Park encompasses both Mossman Gorge and Cape Tribulation (australia.com). 📸 The Angle: Focus on the boardwalks beneath the forest canopy. Use the vines, massive trunks, and light filtering through the leaves as a natural frame. ✨ PHOTO TIP: The wet season makes the forest greener and the waterfalls fuller, while May to September offers better weather for exploring (australia.com). 03 | Freycinet National Park, Tasmania 🩷 One of Tasmania’s most striking coastal landscapes, featuring pink granite peaks, secluded bays, white sand beaches, and the dramatic Freycinet Peninsula coastline (Discover Tasmania). 📸 The Angle: Shoot from a high vantage point to place the curve of Wineglass Bay in the center of your frame, using the Hazards Mountains as a backdrop. The composition is stunning when you balance the mountains + white beach + turquoise water + negative space. 04 | Karijini National Park, Western Australia 🧡 The landscape of Karijini is a dramatic departure from the typical Australian image, featuring deep red rock gorges, high cliffs, and hidden emerald-green pools (australia.com). 📸 The Angle: Head down into the gorges and shoot along the rock layers. Let the towering walls on both sides act as leading lines toward the water pools. ✨ Lighting: Late afternoon light enhances the deep red hues of the gorge walls (australia.com). 05 | Cape Tribulation, Queensland 🌴 This is where you’ll find the ultimate “rainforest meets the reef” shot. Cape Tribulation is the coastal section of Daintree National Park where the jungle literally spills onto the beach (australia.com). 📸 The Angle: Position yourself so the tree line and rainforest occupy one side of the frame, with the open beach and sea on the other. This creates a sleek, premium look by using the trees as a foreground and the ocean as negative space. ✨ PHOTO TIP To give your Australian photos a professional Travel Magazine aesthetic, focus on: Earth Tones + Natural Light + Layered Landscapes + Negative Space Avoid overcrowding the frame. Sometimes just a cliff + the sea + the sky, or a tree + a path + natural light, is enough to make an image look expensive 📷 🇦🇺 Australia offers incredibly diverse landscape opportunities. From the deep blue coast → tropical rainforests → granite mountains → red rock canyons. Just changing the region changes the entire mood of your gallery 🌿
🇦🇺 Melbourne in 7 Days: City Lights, Great Ocean Road & Golden-Hour Escapes ✨
🇦🇺 MELBOURNE IN 7 DAYS — CITY LIGHTS, COFFEE & WILD COASTLINES ✨ Melbourne is the kind of destination where a city break can easily turn into a coastal adventure. This 7 Days 6 Nights itinerary combines Melbourne’s famous café culture, historic architecture, colourful laneways, green spaces, waterfront sunsets and the spectacular landscapes of Victoria. DAY 1 — MELBOURNE CITY 🚋 Start with the heart of Melbourne: historic architecture, trams, laneways, cafés and the Yarra River. Explore the Flinders Street area, wander through colourful streets, stop for coffee and finish the day with Melbourne’s skyline after dark. DAY 2 — ART, GARDENS & CITY LIFE 🌿 Slow the pace down with art, culture and green spaces. Spend time around Melbourne’s cultural attractions, botanical gardens and elegant city streets before taking a relaxed café break. DAY 3 — MELBOURNE BY THE BAY 🌊 Head towards the bay for a completely different side of the city. Enjoy coastal walks, beach scenery, seaside cafés and golden-hour views across Port Phillip Bay. DAY 4–5 — GREAT OCEAN ROAD 🚗 This is the big road-trip chapter. Follow the spectacular Victorian coastline, passing dramatic cliffs, ocean viewpoints, rainforest landscapes and coastal towns. Continue towards Port Campbell and the Twelve Apostles for one of the most memorable landscapes in the region. DAY 6 — FOOD, COFFEE & LOCAL LIFE ☕️ Return to Melbourne and slow down again. Discover café culture, brunch, markets, multicultural flavours, local design and small souvenirs that capture the personality of the city. DAY 7 — GOLDEN HORIZONS 🌅 Keep the final day flexible. Enjoy one last coffee, revisit a favourite neighbourhood, take a final riverside walk and watch the city or coastline change colour at sunset. WHY MELBOURNE? ✨ Because the experience is not only about ticking off attractions. It is about the combination of city energy, creative neighbourhoods, coffee culture, coastal scenery, road trips and the relaxed Australian lifestyle. TRAVEL TIPS ✈️ Plan Melbourne by neighbourhood so you can combine nearby sights instead of constantly crossing the city. For regional day trips, allow extra time and check current transport, road and weather conditions before leaving. For the Great Ocean Road, keep your schedule flexible enough for viewpoints, coastal walks and changing weather. And most importantly, travel responsibly, respect local communities and natural areas, and check current attraction information before your trip.

Melbourne Park Slacking Guide | Give yourself permission to "lie flat" for a while
No need to chase time, no need to rush to a destination 🚶 The trees filter the light into dappled shadows, keeping the city's hustle and bustle at a distance. Just lie on the grass like this, zone out, and daydream~ The sun is just right, the breeze is gentle, and a man is reading quietly under a tree 📖 Even the shadows on the grass have a lazy vibe~ Isn't this the ultimate recharging mode for the working professional! ⚡️ 🌟🌟 The best way for adults to recharge: Do nothing at all, just waste time~ Slack off for a whole day, and happiness is maxed out! 🥹 If you come to Melbourne too: 📍 Just find any park lawn (like Fitzroy Gardens or Carlton Gardens) 📅 Best on a sunny afternoon, bring a book or headphones 🍃 Outfit suggestion: White shirt + light-colored pants, a perfect match for the tree shadows Allowing yourself to "lie flat" for a while is a sophisticated form of self-healing ✨
What people are saying about Victoria
Melbourne Museum
A fantastic museum experience! The entire exhibition hall was beautifully designed, offering an immersive and interactive experience suitable for people of all ages. It allowed for close-up observation of dinosaur fossils and showcased different periods of Australian culture. I recommend allocating 4 to 5 hours for a visit.
M30***18Penguin Parade
It's best to buy the plus ticket. The visitor center has an estimated time when the penguins will come ashore, so just arrive a little early. The estimated time is very accurate; the penguins appear little by little as soon as the time comes, and then they come ashore in groups. They're tiny and very cute.

willem_kingPhillip Island
It's actually not bad. There are a lot of people, and I really followed the online suggestions and bought ordinary seats. There is no need to buy too good seats. They will be close to each other anyway. Overall, this trip is worth experiencing.
谢颖华Great Ocean Road
The tour to Great Ocean Road was taken by the guide named Vance who is frequent with both English and Chinese. Since I only speak English and Japanese, it was helpful that guide can speak English too.The tour was operated quite strictly about time, so the tour went so smoothly than I expected.In the tour, you don’t need to worry about the problem of language because the guide always left the paper which show what time you should come back to bus.The guide Vance is kind and funny, and I really enjoyed his guide and recommendation.And I really enjoyed the beautiful view and it was stunning!!!!
I•YApollo Bay
A quaint, sleepy little town about mid-way along the Great Ocean Road. Stunning beach with absolutely awesome sunrises. Gets very busy with tourists from Melbourne (and elsewhere) in Summer, but in the quieter months you'll practically have the place to yourself
Dr BPOtway Fly Treetop Adventures
As soon as we got up early in the morning, we went to the Apollo Bay Tourist Information Center for a walk. There is a small lighthouse inside where you can go in and take pictures👅 There was also a small market that day, which was like a treasure hunt~ Let’s take a look around and head up to Otway Fly Treetop Adventures. There are many facilities here. I participated in the Treetop Walk, which is to walk on the elevated rainforest trail and overlook the natural wild ecology of the forest. The spiral tower is about 15 stories high. Treetop Walk is a rainforest walking experience of about 1 hour, overlooking the ferns of the rainforest. Features a 600-meter-long and 47-meter-high treetop canopy walkway The trees here are really huge, it’s shocking to see it with the naked eye🙀The magical power of nature👍🏼

Anonymous userDandenong Ranges National Park
I heard that the Chinese employees of Wilson factory said that Dandenong is good. In June 2012, a friend drove a group of three people to Dandenong. There were few cars and people, and the road was unimpeded. As soon as we entered the forest area, our breathing felt much deeper, and we felt energetic and refreshed. There were many people consuming at the mountaintop cafe, but there were still empty seats. We brought barbecue ingredients and barbecued on the lawn slightly lower than the cafe. From memory, this lawn is 6 to 8 meters wide and about 10 meters long. There are 6 barbecue tables, which are divided into two rows, with three in each row. Our barbecue actually attracted several laughing kookaburras, which are a bird unique to Australia and New Guinea. There were also several local Australians who came to taste our barbecue. After the barbecue, we cleaned up thoroughly. The environment here makes people feel very enjoyable and natural.
