If you have always dreamed of witnessing the stunning natural beauty of Iceland, you've probably already had a little browse for flights and hotels online. You may recognize one or two brands in the Reykjavik area, but for the most part, the hotel scene in Iceland is quite unique, with different kinds of privately owned properties, dotted sparsely in different areas. For these reasons, you have to do your research, but don't worry guys, we did it all in preparation for our visit! That's right, we looked at all the hotels, their reviews, their food, their facilities, prices and where they are located in relation to Iceland's most popular tourist spots. We quickly realized, that you can either choose somewhere to get your head down, or you can pick a hotel that will totally enhance your experience, and that is exactly what Hotel Ranga did. This is not the only fantastic hotel on the island, but it was our top pick! One of our community said it best, after we shared The Hotel Ranga experience through Instagram.....
We talked about our love for visiting Cities in a recent Instagram post. Full of life, culture, history, shops and mixed activities, they never fail to please us all! Dublin is a perfect example of this! It is also a great place to base yourself, if you want to explore other areas of Ireland. We only had the weekend and with so much we wanted to see, we didn't leave the City!

We arrived into Faro airport mid February, which is just a thirty minute drive from Pine Cliffs, A Luxury Collection Resort . With the weather and temperatures back home in the UK, we were not expecting to arrive to beautiful blue skies, lots of sun and temperatures in the high teens, that felt in the 20's during the daytime. It was cold in the morning before the sun came up and we needed a jumper at sunset, but it was perfect through the day. We were able to sunbathe and we caught the sun, but it wasn't quite warm enough to get us jumping in the cold sea. The kids did spend a bit of time in one of the many outdoor pools at the resort, but with so many other things to do, it wasn't a priority for this trip. Overall, Pine Cliffs Resort feels very private, safe and quiet. We visited during off season, so naturally it was quieter than it would be during peak season, but with it's size and layout, I can't imagine it ever feeling too busy. The entrance itself is a short drive or walk off the main road, after which you come to the entrance gates, where you will always find security standing. When you enter the huge grounds, it is like entering a large community or village, with different types of accommodation and attractions or services dotted throughout. The reception to the hotel is a short walk from the entrance. It took us a few days to get our bearings but reception will provide you with a map, so don't worry too much about this.
